Context Matters

How do we learn about the story of the Bible if we do not preach sermons from ALL the books of the Bible? Granted, several books are challenging and non-intuitive, but they still offer great value to the modern church. How is 2 Peter different from 1 Peter?

I like to send my students to talk to Zak and have a chance to listen carefully to how people grow up and what their connection to land is. Zak has a great and complicated history. He clearly tells people how his Christian identity informs who he is as a Palestinian. He also encourages non-locals to remember the conflict over there is not Jewish vs. Muslim but Israeli vs. Palestinian. Listen in to hear how he explains the difference.Explore Zak's store HERE.Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Learn more about me and sign up for upcoming tours of Israel/Palestine.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!
