SUMMARY:God With Us:  A Leviticus Story (Mpls)
DESCRIPTION: What does it mean to start over? How do we begin again? How do we live with God and with other people? What does a good life look like? We will turn to the story of God’s people starting over again in—of all places\, the book of Leviticus.    \nAt the end of the book of Exodus\, the Israelites have escaped the brutal enslavement of Pharoah in Egypt. They are journeying through the wilderness to the land that God has promised them.  In the wilderness\, on the move\, God instructs Moses: “build a tabernacle—a sanctuary\, a tent of meeting—so that I can dwell with and among my people on this journey.”  \nSo that’s what they do. They build a ‘house’ for the Lord\, and in the final verses of Exodus\, “the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” There\, in the middle of the wilderness\, God was present. God was with God’s people.  \nThis is where Leviticus picks up.    \nYou may have never thought much about this book and its  27  chapters of instructions and commands\, but in it lies a handbook of how to live well with God and one another. In it lies a blueprint for how to be holy people\, new people\, after starting over. Through the ordinary rituals found in this story\, we come to know a God who is just\, merciful\, forgiving\, and near to us.  \nJoin Pastor Olson and Pastor Grangaard for a deep dive into this surprisingly beautiful book of the Bible\, the story of a God who desires to be close to God’s people and who calls us to be priests—to be holy people—in the world.

SUMMARY:Living the Message
DESCRIPTION:What Did Jesus Do?\nPerhaps you remember the wristbands what were so popular a few years back. Bright yellow\, with the letters WWJD emblazoned across them. That stood for “What Would Jesus Do?” to remind the folks wearing those wristbands to try to conform their lives to Jesus’ example. Many of your Mount Olivet pastors remember those wristbands too\, though few if any wore them. Why? Because we are convinced that a far more important question is “What Did Jesus Do?” That is\, the Christian faith is less about ethics and morality than God’s grace and love\, which in turn shapes both who we are and what we do. \nFor this reason\, multiple Mount Olivet pastors are teaming up to teach this year’s Living the Message class\, each choosing stories from the Gospels that they feel illustrate what Jesus actually did that reveals the heart of God for us and all the world and\, in turn\, shapes how we live with each other. Join us as it promises to be a fun\, surprising\, and faith-enriching experience. \n\nOctober 6: Jesus Makes a Splash: Exorcisms\, Sermons\, and Weddings\, Oh My with Pastor Lose\nNovember 10: Jesus Reveals Who We Are: On Swords and Divided Families with Pastor Dixon\nDecember 1: Jesus Frustrates People: More Than Meets Our Eyes with Pastor Cieslik\nJanuary 5: Jesus Isn’t Fair: Bad Friends and Poor Choices with Pastor Lose\nFebruary 2: Jesus Learns a Lesson: Going to the Dogs with Pastor Grangaard\nMarch 2: Jesus Loves Others and Asks Us to Love Also: The New Commandment with Pastor Olson\nApril 6: Jesus Recommissions Failed Disciples: Breakfast on the Beach with Rev. Dr. Theresa Latini\nMay 4: Jesus Dies for Us\, Now What?: The Ending No One Wanted with Pastor Lose\n\n\nVideos will be filmed live at the in-person presentation and emailed by the second Monday of the month. \n\nAll are welcome at any time!  \nQuestions? Contact Katie Stevenson\, Coordinator of Adult Education by email or at 612.767.2232.
