MWR posted the fourth in a 13 week series of columns I'm writing that correspond with scripture used in an international Sunday school lesson plan for NCCC member denominations. "Impossible Odds" focuses on Nehemiah and his story in the larger story of our redemption as it plays out in God's covenant community. As I've said before, I'm really enjoying this series and what I'm learning about what it means to be God's people and who he's called and enabled us to be.
So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them: "I'm here to introduce you to this God.... He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near. We live and move in him, can't get away from him!" ~Acts 17
