Old and relevant

[Bible references: Hebrews 13:1-8]

How can the Bible, written so long ago be relevant to our lives today? It’s not written like a normal textbook, and it seems that many different people think it says many different things,[1] so then how are we supposed to make sense of it? Those are all good questions and hopefully by the time you finish reading Dancing in the Kingdom you will have some understanding. The goal of Dancing in the Kingdom is move between the extreme of under-reading the Bible and making it too simple and the extreme of diving in so deeply that one needs a seminary education. To do that we’ll lay out the big picture of the Bible and the church while spending time of some details that help to flesh out the deeper meanings within the Biblical story. One avenue to explore is the Bible’s stories about people, people who have temptations, weaknesses, struggles and emotions that we call can relate to. And as we see God interact with those people, we can see ways in which God can interact with us.

Observe

Read Hebrews 13:1-8. Paul gives a lot of different kinds of advice on how to behave in different areas; then he says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever.” Why does he say that? Which advise might you need to heed?
