God's Faithfulness

Chapter 8 - Conceit

09/04/15 19:57 Filed in: Conceit

In chapter 7, we heard of the era of the kings in Israel. In chapter 8, the old man’s story came to an end as he related the story of the kings of Israel and Judah, which ended in the current exile in Babylon. The people’s conceit had been their undoing. Throughout the evening’s story, the people wondered — would the Story of God end here in exile? They had acted against the Torah, living however they wanted and then dared to ask for God’s blessing. But even then God would not abandon them, inviting them always to return to covenant faithfulness.

Watershed Community is going through Sean Gladding's book The Story of God, the Story of Us. We read a chapter each week and pull out some questions from the book to facilitate discussion. Start at the beginning or read the current entry.

The Story of God, the Story of Us.

Sean Gladding takes us between the lines of Scripture to listen in on the conversation of people wrestling with the Story we have received. Sitting around a campfire in Babylon, reclining at table in Asia Minor, huddled together by candlelight in Rome, we meet people encountering the Story for the first and for the hundred-and-first time. With them we hear a tale that is at once both familiar and surprising.
