Surprisingly, I have never before led a class at Trinity on my own book entitled Neglected Treasure, Rediscovering the Old Testament. But having recently done that in Nigeria, I have decided to offer this class. My little book, available at the Trinity bookstore, is a short introduction to the Old Testament, helping to navigate through some of the challenging difficulties while also presenting some of the magnificent gems held within its pages.

The Hole in Our Gospel “What Does God Expect of Us?” - Brian Myers & Carol Lewis
The Hole in Our Gospel challenges Christians to expand their personal and transforming faith into a public and transforming relationship with the poor. “The gospel, or good news, proclaimed by Jesus was so much more than a private transaction between God and us. It was a vision of a changed people challenging and changing the prevailing values and practices of our world,” Richard Stearns writes. This six-week quest based on the book, The Hole in Our Gospel, will focus on topics like: Where is the Hole?, Finding the Hole in Me, What’s Wrong with this Picture, Putting the American Dream to Death, Uncovering the Hole in the Church, and Repairing the Hole in the World.

We’ll use the ACTS acronym as a model (A-Acknowledge, C-Confess, T-Thank, S-Supplicate) and watch some popular movie clips for practical prayer examples (PG-13).
