Our first fall study of the program year begins the week of September 13 with the continuation of our viewing and subsequent discussions centered around The Chosen Season 5.
The Chosen is a dramatic video miniseries based on the Gospels, mostly drawing from Matthew and John. As a “drama,” the series draws both from Scripture, at times word for word, while at other times imagining “what might have happened” or “what could have been going on” in the lives of those about whom we hear very little in the actual writing of those Scriptures. Drawing from both direct biblical context and historical background guided by consulted Biblical scholars (both Christian and Jewish) AND the creative imagination of the series producers, The Chosen has been a great way “to see” the Word. A number of our past Chosen participants have commented how their participation in our study series has enlivened the way they “see” and hear the Gospels on Sunday morning.
Weekly study and discussion guides will be prepared by Pastor Mike. (A free-will donation to cover printing costs is encouraged but not required.)
Even if you have not been a part of our previous viewing sessions, you very well might be familiar enough with the Jesus story to jump right in and join a group. Or you can go back and watch previous seasons online and commercial free at https://watch.thechosen.tv/.
