Liars. Murderers. Swindlers. Rebels. The Bible doesn't hide its morally complicated characters—it puts them front and center in the story of faith.
This winter and spring, join Pastor James for 15 weeks exploring Scripture's most provocative figures: Jacob, Rahab, Jezebel, Judas, Herod, and more.
We'll ask the hard questions: Why are these stories in the Bible? What do they teach us about God’s work in the world? How do we read these difficult texts honestly?
Starts Thursday, January 15, 2026, 10:30 AM or 6:30 PM at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church
This isn't your grandmother's Bible study. (Unless your grandmother likes asking provocative questions about the Bible —then she's totally invited!)
