An Inner Metro Green Sermon Series

“Hermeneutics: Everything is an Interpretation” is the title of a brand new sermon series by Shawn Anthony that starts on Sunday, August 23rd @ Inner Metro Green in Lancaster City, PA.

How we read the bible affects everything. It affects everything from our daily spiritual practices to our political expressions. Our approach to the scriptures informs our images of God and shapes our missional identities. The bible is important, obviously! The big question that this series asks is “How then should we read.” And the question doesn’t stop there! Reading requires – no, demands – interpretation. We therefore also have to ask, “How and why do we interpret?” These questions must be asked and wrestled with before we can actually apply what we find in our own world. Yes, it’s a lot of work, but this faith was never meant to be so easy.

If you  have big questions about the bible, or if you can’t seem to make much sense out of popular interpretations of scripture, or if you think that faith is totally irrelevant in this day and age, then you will not want to miss this series.

Plus, I’m bringing a whiteboard! Yes, I’m going to be drawing lots of pictures! That alone will be worth the 1.5 hours you spend journeying along with us!

Hermeneutics: Everything is an Interpretation begins this Sunday, August 23rd at 11:15 AM @ Inner Metro Green in Lancaster City, PA. For more information check out the IMG website < http://innermetrogreen.com >.

    Will you be posting the series here on LoFiTribe, like most of the sermons? If not, will they perhaps be available in some form of audio or audio/visual format?

    I can’t get that much time off of my own responsibilities at my home church, but would dearly love to be able to learn something from you about this – it might help to clarify some of the questions I have had about your interpretive methodology as well.

  2. Hi, Dave. Yes. They will be posted here in audio format. I’m going to snap some shots of my whiteboard sketches too! :)

    I’m also still all about grabbing that coffee or beer too!
