Low tide at Breakwater Beach, Brewster Flats, Cape Cod.

I took the above photo last night on Cape Cod. I need and am so grateful for time away every summer from weekly preaching and teaching, but it won’t be long before we’re back home and kicking off a great fall, and I’m getting excited.

Some of you might be interested in my upcoming teaching and preaching schedule as a new ministry year begins for me—if so, I’ve listed below some of the fun stuff we have coming up.

What If You Could Start Over?

Sermon series, Sundays August 15 and 22

I’m interested in the following questions these days:

What if you could start over?
What if you could begin again?
What if, knowing what you know now, God gave you another shot?

I’m kicking off the fall by looking at these questions, and I have good news for you:

With God, all things are possible.

The Daniel Project

Friday-Saturday, August 27-28

The Daniel Project is a weekend seminar I teach in which we look at some of the most difficult and confusing questions people are asking about God and the Christian faith. My goal is for folks to leave feeling confident and to have clarity when they are confronted by these difficult questions. More info here.

Romans—The Greatest Letter Ever Written

Sermon series, Munger weekend services, kicking off Sunday, August 29

I’m going to be preaching and teaching through Paul’s great Letter to the Romans this fall, starting the last Sunday in August. Romans is not an easy letter, but it is worth it. We’ll be handing out Romans scripture journals as part of a churchwide reading plan; our reading plan begins September 1.

Who’s in?

Sex Idol! Churchwide Bible Study on Romans and Sexuality

Wednesday, September 1, 6-7 PM

The first chapter of Romans contains one of the longest discussions of sexuality in the Bible. What does the Bible say about human sexuality? Why does Paul connect sexual sin with idolatry? How does this passage make sense of the rest of the letter? How does the Bible’s teaching on sex apply to us today?

I’ll be teaching a Bible study on all of the above in the Munger sanctuary at 6 PM on Wednesday, 9/1. Leave work early just this once, and then join us for food trucks and fun outside afterwards. Separate study on Romans (but not on sex!) for elementary students at the same time, with childcare available for little ones.

You know you’re curious—mark your calendars now.

Seven - Friday Morning Men’s Series in September

Fridays in September, 7-8 AM, Munger sanctuary

For each of the Fridays in September, I and Rodney Adams will be teaching a men’s breakfast series starting at 7 AM sharp. We’ll provide Chick-fil-A biscuits and coffee.

Fellas, this is a great event to invite other guys to attend. Whom are you going to invite?

Going to be a great fall. Expect great things!
