SUMMARY:Living the Message
DESCRIPTION:Stories That Shape Us \nThis year’s Living the Message will be co-taught by multiple Mount Olivet pastors who will each share a biblical story that has shaped them over the course of their lives. These are among their favorite stories\, but also more\, as they are the stories that have shaped our pastors’ sense of who God is\, what our lives as Christians can be like\, and how we can view the world differently because of the biblical witness. Our pastors will open up these passages in a way that they hope will allow these same powerful stories to shape you as well\, bolstering your faith\, renewing your sense of God’s presence in your life\, and inviting you to lives of greater meaning and purpose in light of God’s promises. Join us! \n\nOctober 7: 2 Kings 22: Know Your Story\, Know Yourself with Pastor Lose\nNovember 4: John 11: Lazarus Just Laid There with Pastor Dixon\nDecember 2: Ester 1\, 4: Vashti and Esther: For Such a Time as This with Theresa Latini\nJanuary 6: Genesis 1 and Isaiah 40: When Everything Is Lost: Exile and Creation with Pastor Grangaard\nFebruary 3: Genesis 50: “You Meant It For Evil” – God’s saving work in the face of suffering with Pastor Cieslik\nMarch 3: The Book of Job: No One Cares About Job Until They Need Job with Pastor Olson Popp\nApril 7: John 20:24-29: Resurrection Is Not Reversal: Doubting Thomas with Pastor Grangaard\nMay 5: John 21\, Mark 16: Just the Beginning… with Pastor Lose\n\n\nNEW THIS YEAR: Videos 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?

SUMMARY:Young in Heart & Friends: Rolf Jacobson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunch and presentation from Rolf Jacobson. He’ll be presenting on Humor and the Christian Life. This presentation doesn’t try to be funny or teach someone how to be funny. Rather\, it learns from those who study comedy and humor and applies lessons learned to the life of those who follow Jesus.  \nHere’s a little bit more about Rolf Jacobson  \nRolf Jacobson is Dean of the Faculty\, Professor of Old Testament\, and the Alvin N. Rogness Chair of Scripture\, Theology\, and Ministry. He joined the Luther Seminary faculty in 2003. Prior to that\, he served on the faculty of Augsburg University and as Associate Pastor of Como Park Lutheran Church (St. Paul\, Minnesota). Rolf is known for combining humor and faithful biblical interpretation. You can see this in his book The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to the Old Testament: Israel’s In-Your-Face\, Holy God\, and Divine Laughter: Preaching and the Serious Business of Humor (with Karl Jacobson).  \nRolf enjoys collaborating with other leaders. With Craig Koester\, he developed and supports the Narrative Lectionary. With Beth Tanner and Nancy deClaissé-Walford he wrote The Book of Psalms (NICOT). With Karl Jacobson\, he wrote Invitation to the Psalms. With several others\, he wrote both Crazy Talk: A Not-So-Stuffy Dictionary of Theological Terms and Crazy Book: A Not-So-Stuffy Dictionary of Biblical Terms (with Hans Wiersma and Karl Jacobson). And with Michael Chan\, he is the author of Introducing the Old Testament: A Historical\, Literary\, and Theological Survey.  \nFor over 15 years\, he was a part of “Sermon Brainwave\,” a weekly preaching podcast. He continues to participate in “The Narrative Lectionary” podcast. Rolf sings the high lonesome and operates a guitar in “The Fleshpots of Egypt\,” a Lutheran bluegrass band.  \nA survivor of childhood cancer\, he is a double\, above-the-knee amputee who generally wears a bicycle and a smile. He lives in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, with his beloved wife Amy\, their children Ingrid and Gunnar\, and a cat who thinks he is a lion. He is a loyal friend\, lifelong sufferer of Minnesota sports\, and committed board-game geek. He is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
