Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution

Written by Carl R. Trueman and facilitated by Joe Sarr, this study will ask "How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the Church respond?" Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity. This class will be nine sessions walking through each of the book’s chapters, summarizing key points and giving biblical application of the key themes. Each class will be accompanied by a 10-12 minute video covering one chapter from the book followed by a discussion using the Strange New World Study Guide. Join us Sunday mornings in Room 36.

Book of Isaiah

Pastor Al is leading a study on Isaiah, sometimes called the Gospel of the Old Testament, or the Fifth Gospel. This study will be held in the church library on the second floor.

What do you think God is up to in this world in our time? Is God behind all the confusion and division? What may be his purpose? Do we, that is, the Christian Church, have something to do in God’s plan? We are learning from the Book of Isaiah how the God of the universe works among the nations and peoples. We see God in action in that time in history.

What can we learn from the experience of God’s people Israel? They were God’s church in their time. They looked eagerly for hope, and it would come with Jesus. The Bible, in Old and New Testament, tells the story of what God has done through the ages. Here we also learn what Jesus, Son of God and our Redeemer, has done for the world for all time. Jesus is Lord of all, yes, in our time! The Holy Spirit has now bound us into God’s Story of engaging with the course of human events. We have been bound in by the Sacrament of our Baptism. We engage with the Lord every time we celebrate the Lord’s Supper. We belong to the Christian Church where we find fellowship and spiritual nurture and hope! See how God operates as we study this great prophet.
