Hot Button Issues: What Was the Sin of Sodom?
Thursday May 1, 2025 8:20am - 8:50am EDT
Modern scholars disagree about the precise nature of the sin that provoked God’s wrath in Genesis 19. Some isolate the aggressors’ inhospitality to the exclusion of any potential sexual deviance and allege that the traditional emphasis on fornication, especially homosexual intercourse, is a historically recent phenomenon. This lesson critiques this assertion by demonstrating that there is a tradition in Second Temple Judaism and the primitive church attributing sexual sins, including homosexuality, to Sodom and its neighbors.

The Brokenhearted (Part 2): Helping the Brokenhearted
Thursday May 1, 2025 10:20am - 10:50am EDT
We will look at some examples of how churches sometimes helped and sometimes failed to help people during their crisis. The purpose is not to point out others’ failures, but to remind us of the simple idea of the importance of being there when people are hurting. Job shows an example of how his friends helped him when they sat with him, but failed because they tried to find a meaning behind the loss. Churches who are there for the hurting have fewer people fall away and more people won to Christ.
