Re:Construction, Part One: A Fresh Look at the Bible

Hundreds of thousands of Americans who once identified as
Christian and attended church regularly have stopped doing both
in the past several years. The term used to describe this process
is DECONSTRUCTION, and the rate is increasing. Some think its a
new phenomenon, but the Bible tells a different story. John 6
describes followers of Jesus who decided to stop following him.
Paul's letters to Timothy address his concern for the people in
Ephesus who would walk away from Christian doctrine and start to
believe other, different things.

It is long past time for the church (and our church) to engage in
an honest and raw conversation about the reasons people are
giving for their departure. So that's what this series is all
about. In diving into the scriptures and these conversations, we
may also discover that there are things faithful Christians need
to "leave behind" in order to better follow and help people
discover Jesus.

Part One addresses a skeptic or deconstructionist's problem with
the Bible. We hope you are challenged, encouraged and equipped to
better follow Jesus as you join us.
