Thanks again for another great night at NSU in our Hermeneutics class. Your insights in our breakout time digging into Romans 12 were fantastic!

Tonight was our last Hermeneutics class for NSU. Sigh, lil’ tear. I had a great time with our class over the last six weeks. I felt like we attempted a pretty daunting task – looking and trying to learn how to interpret all the different genres of the Bible. It was my first time trying …
Session 5 of NSU was Sunday night in our Hermeneutics class. This week we dealt with the Law and the Prophets in the session: “I’m Afraid of the Old Testament.” Remember: the Law was given to show that it was impossible for them to keep it – even in the OT, people were desperate for …
Sorry, I didn’t post on week 3, but I wanted to write a couple of things from the last two weeks. Our class is the absolute best! You guys are learning so much, and you are getting the information and able to apply it so well. It is great to see everyone seem to grasping …
