Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Join us for a time of timeless truth.

January 10: The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Last month we spent time looking at the Aramaic Jesus. We looked at the culture, customs and language of Jesus. This Reasoning is the Parable of the Good Samaritan with the perspective of the culture and time of Jesus. It is quite possible that the message Jesus may have been communicating was about breaking down the social structure that the religious traditions had created. This Reasoning is timely not only with the political and religious issues of our time, but comes right before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.

December 27: What Would Jesus Want us to Understand?

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Have you ever wondered what Jesus really wanted to convey to us? Really, what would be the most important thing to understand? Would it be about religion? Would it be about heaven and hell? Would it be dogma and doctrine? Would it be about all the things Christians squabble about?

Looking at some of the consistent teachings of Jesus through the language he spoke can give us insight to these questions.

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Heaven, The Only Begotten Son, Satan, The Visitation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, The Virgin Birth, The Name of Jesus all give us stories with a context of the western language and culture. Come hear the stories from the Aramaic language and from a perspective of the eastern culture.

December 6: The Culture, Customs and Religion of Jesus

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Imagine you were born in The Near East at the time of Jesus. What would life be like? What would Jesus be like? What was the temperament and ways of expression that you would experience? Would you have understood Jesus’s message? Join us for a trip back in time to meet the Jewish Jesus.
