“Love God” calls us to know more about God and what God wants for us.
You can’t love what you don’t know. Here at SHPC we offer a wide variety of classes and bible studies that aim to deepen our understanding of who God is and how we can live into all that God desires for us.
Unclobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality
Wednesdays | 6-8PM | Portable B | Begins Nov. 6
This five week study is focused on the book “Unclobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality” by Colby Martin, Pastor, Author and Podcaster. Martin’s masterful and accessible book will be the outline of this course as we take on the “Clobber Texts” that have been used for centuries to marginalize and exclude LGBTQ+ folks from the Church. Each week we will take on a different passage of Scripture, dig into the context, structure, language and form to see if how it’s been interpreted to exclude is truly how it should be interpreted.
This class is a wonderful opportunity for folks who have struggled with the biblical texts that are used to marginalize people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who have had a hard time squaring how they feel with what they’ve been taught is “biblical authority” on the matter. Food will also be provided! The class will run Wednesdays Nov. 6- Dec. 11, with skipping Wednesday Nov. 27.
