Tannin, Nephesh, Leviathan, Sea Serpents ... why are there so many of these strange creatures in the Bible? From the first pages of Genesis we are taught that these mythological creatures impact our current reality. Let’s dive into the abyss to learn about God’s good and beautiful creation and the forces that draw it into chaos.

Teacher: Caleb MartinezJeremiah and EzekielWhen Israel chooses to act like the chaos monster instead of living like the people of God, God brings judgment on them. How? He sends other bigger monsters after them, namely, Babylon and Egypt. The scrolls of Jeremiah and Ezekiel focus on the dragon-like behavior of these three nations––as well as God’s promise to bring about justice for each and every dragon in the end. Join us to contemplate how nations and societies become empires of the beast.

Teacher: Devynn BrankelIsaiah 24:21There is a twin rebellion both of man and heavenly beings. This rebellion is described in scripture as stars rising and falling in a cosmic battle. When Israel itself gives into sin and chaos, it loses its light and becomes a falling star. God sent prophets like Isaiah to show his people how they had fallen into sin, and compel them to repent. Join us this week as we investigate the ways that we fall from grace, and how God deals with our sin.
