RETOLD 2016 (BROOKLYN)

Remember all those old bible stories that we heard as children? Zacchaeus, The Prodigal Son, The Fiery Furnace, and others? In our mind's eye, they may seem more like cartoon characters rather than real people. In this series we'll be looking at some of these "cartoonish" stories, but taking away all the "cartoon." These stories have a lot to say to us about hope, struggle, and the amazing things that God does in the lives of real people.

PSALMS

The Psalms have always been the prayer book of God’s people. In them we find every depth of human emotion from joy and sorrow to doubt and praise and beyond. Just like an actor in a musical sings because simple words are no longer enough, or a Shakespearean character breaks into verse when his heart is too full for prose, the writers of the psalms pour forth their emotions in dialogue with God, letting their words be an overflow of their hearts and teaching us that we, too, can feel fully human in our prayers to God...for whoever can speak an honest word, can tell a poem. This series teaches us to pray with the psalms as we discover what it means to feel fully human with God.
