JESUS AND NONVIOLENCE – THE BIBLIICAL VISION OF PEACE

This online Zoom Bible Study will start with some of the passages about shalom in the Hebrew scriptures (the Old Testament which was Jesus’ Bible), study God’s vision of peace in the prophets, continue with the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus’ teaching on nonviolence, and finish with the events of Holy Week and Jesus’ actions for justice and peace. Three Bible study groups will meet each week: Tuesdays at 7:00 pm MST, Wednesdays at 10:00 am MST, or Thursdays at 11:00 am MST. Pastor Matt Powell and I will send out the Zoom links by email along with a handout with scripture passages and other readings and prayers. You can also find the Zoom links and the handout on the Holy Cross Lutheran Church website: www.holycrossabq.org.
