Gospel Talk
In August of 2024, Bob and Jessica offered five pastor-led Bible studies. Our theme was “Gospel Talk,” and we provided a high-level overview of our four canonic gospels (the ones we read from our Bible each week). In presenting these sessions, our hope is that Millbrookers will learn new things, ask lots of questions, and consider their favorite stories. But it’s also our hope that by being informed about gospels – the telling of communal truths – we might also begin to better tell our own communal truths, The Gospel of Millbrook.
For each session, there is a printed copy of the lecture, as well as a Word of the Week handout. The lecture will offer a deep dive. The handout will give you an USA Today-style overview. Printed copies of all lectures and handouts are available in the vestibule. Click the links below to download each of the study materials.
