Why Your Church Should Talk about the Servant: A Video

November 15, 2011 in difficult questions,features with 0 Comments

On November 20th at 6:30pm, at our local mega church, Cornwall Church, I’ll be speaking about the resurrected servant prophesied 500 years before Jesus–details here. I’ll be using Isaiah 53 as a springboard to examine four general elements of Bible study. Each of these provides an ample reason why your church should talk about the servant. Examining Isaiah 53 closely teaches us about:

  1. Noting genre
  2. Identifying plot and narrative
  3. Developing a biblical theology
  4. Connecting everything to applicable principles
I’ll also be taking questions after each step live on stage. I’m hoping for some very cool technology elements, like texting in questions, to aid in this process.
So, if you’re in northwest Washington, I hope you decide to join us on Sunday night. I also hope you decide to discuss the servant in your church community, because the Bible study reasons are just the beginning. And if you decide you would like for me to come speak about it at your church or conference, just shoot me an email: johndavidbarry[at]yahoo[dot]com.
