Story Telling | Winter 2025 @ Peace Most of us have heard the stories of Adam & Eve, David & Goliath, and Jesus Walking on Water. We've grown up on these stories and they've shaped our faith from a young age. But when was the last time we explored the most common stories of the Bible? Too often, we hear these stories as kids and then we move on to the less recognizable stories or the more complex concepts - like parables or the Beatitudes. In this series, we will dive a little deeper into the most recognizable stories. We will see what they have to teach us now that we are adults. We just might be surprised by what we see and what we learn.

In the Fullness of Time... The birth of Jesus came 'in the fullness of time'...in other words...when the time was pregnant. The world was ready for a disruption and a new way. So what does it mean to be in a season of preparation and expectation, as we are invited to bring Christ into the world? We will explore these ideas by looking at the themes of Growing, Waiting, Expecting, Preparing, and Birthing.

"If it wasn't for the women..." This phrase was uttered at the end of a long discussion about the grieving mother Rizpah. A group of pastors had discussed the tragic story of Rizpah's great loss and her courage to model love and justice in the face of great political and personal turmoil. And at the end, a hush came over the group as we sat in the midst of her story, thinking about the reality...'if it wasn't for the women..." Too often the stories of women in the Bible are side-notes, supporting characters in the larger stories about the patriarchs of the faith. We know all too well the stories of Abraham, Moses, and David; but little about the stories of Rebekah, Vashti, Ruth, and others...some who even go unnamed in the text. This series is about 5 women who helped shape the trajectory of the faith. Through their courage, leadership, example, and faith, they have shaped history and how we understand what it means to follow Christ. The Sunday Sermon Schedule (Podcasts drop on the following Tuesday): October 27th | Vashti & Esther (Esther 1) | Rev Joretta Marshall November 3rd | Ruth (Ruth 1) | Rev Linda Koelman November 10th | The Canaanite Woman (Matthew 15) | Rev Elaine Shelby November 17th | Rebekah (Genesis 24) | Pastor Jason Steffenhagen November 24th | Tamar (Genesis 37) | Lisa Adams _____ This podcast is from Peace, A United Methodist Community in Shoreview, MN.
