This year, Spring Harvest is exploring four key metaphors for Scripture. The first is Scripture as a sonnet; the second is Scripture as a symphony; the third is Scripture as a screenplay; the fourth is Scripture as a streetmap.
‘Finally, we will take the metaphor of a streetmap. Here we will discuss the clarity of the Bible and the vital importance of these writings for our own culture. We will ask how these texts make meaning of our lives and help us navigate the landscape we’re living in. Understood and used well, the Bible provides a collection of maps that show us where we’ve come from, where we are and where we’re going.’
The Bible readings this morning were based on Malachi 3:6-4:5, where we see that God’s promise of protection and the provision of a Messiah (4:5) offer both warning and hope to his apathetic people.
The Bible focus in the evening Big Top Celebration was devoted to Matthew 3:1-17, a God-breathed salvation, exploring the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of Jesus.
