The focus will be on the characters we encounter in the first two books of the bible, and how they demonstrate faithfulness in spite of their imperfections and outright rebellion. Their example will teach us about how God walks with and works through sinners like us.
Going Deeper:
Throughout the series, we'll be exploring a literary concept that makes an appearance in the best-selling young adult novel The Fault in Our Stars by John Green: Hamartia, or the "fatal flaw" in one's character. We'll consider the biblical connections to this concept in the New Testament word for sin, which happens to be the exact same word, hamartia.
We'll also be diving deeper into Christian theology through Martin Luther's famous Latin phrase "Simul Justus et Peccator" - a phrase that describes our dual status as saints and sinners, simultaneously guilty and justified by Christ.
