The Story of the Bible

At Pearl we regularly say that we exist to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. About our sacred story, we have a longstanding tradition of telling it on an annual basis, on Labor Day weekend. Our hope in telling this story in its entirety is that it might more deeply shape our language, orient our hearts, and direct the ways that we mark our days and live out our lives here on earth.

Our Sacred Story

Each year for the first Sunday of September, we pause and hear again our sacred story: the movement from Genesis to Revelation, from garden to City, as we follow the unfolding of the peaceable kingdom of God.

Cultivating Rhythms of Story and Table

As many of us return to more consistent pace and pattern, after summer, it can be helpful to remember and reflect upon why we do what we do. This sermon series therefore intends to remind us of the rhythms that we are intentionally cultivating together and it celebrates our values, which define the fundamental elements of our essence and character.

This week’s sermon is a bridge between two sermon series. By telling the story of the Bible it concludes our three part series titled, Bible Primer. Also, because one of our rhythms at Pearl is to cultivate a sacred story, this sermon will be the beginning of our new series addressing our church’s rhythms and values.
