Book Study Invitation: "Rediscovering Humility" by Christopher Hutchinson

Christopher Hutchinson, Senior Pastor of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Blacksburg, Virginia published Rediscovering Humility: Why the Way Up is Down in 2018. I stumbled upon it when Tim Keller shared his recommendation of the book in a social media post in 2022. 

Here is a link to Keller's recommendation: https://www.readthistwice.com/book/rediscovering-humility 

As I have read some of Keller's books and found each one engaging and worthwhile, I thought I would follow his advice and get a copy of Humility. As soon as it arrived, I jumped in.

Fast forward to 2023. For whatever reason - I think it was a Holy Spirit nudge - it crossed my mind while hiking during one of our weird, spring-like February Sundays in Connecticut to lead a study of the book. I also thought, "It would be fun to invite the author, too." 

Well, here we are!

Chris could not have been more gracious when I contacted him with my big ask: Will you join us for a session of our study? He agreed.

I will type it again: Chris Hutchinson will join us for one of our sessions! (The date is to be determined.) He also provided some terrific questions to inspire our conversations. 

I will be facilitating a study of the book starting in March 2023. Would you like to join us? Great! See the Google Forms link below to sign up. Here are details:


Sessions will be Tuesday evenings on the following dates from 7:00 - 8:30 PM Eastern time.

Important: You do not need to attend every session. If you can make most, do it. If you can only drop in for one or two, that's fine too.

Covenants of Life

February 25, 2024 – Second Sunday of Lent Focus Scriptures: Romans 4:13-25 and Mark 8:31-38 Covenants of Life Our faith, active trust in God, is central to our lives as Christians. When we have faith in God and faith that Jesus Christ is who he said he is – the son of God, The Way, The Truth, and The Life – we are entering into a sacred covenant of life that makes us understand why Jesus Christ came into the world in the first place. There are five central covenants on which our faith is built, covenants in the Bible going back to the covenant with Noah that we discussed with the children last week. From there, we move to the covenant we heard about this morning, God’s covenant with Abraham, a covenant that said he would be the father of many nations due to his faithfulness. From there we move to the Mosaic covenant. God gave the Israelites the law in the desert after leading them out of Egypt. God said, “I will be your God, and you will be my people.” And from this law, we s...

Testimony and Generosity

April 7, 2024 | Second Sunday of Easter  Focus Scripture: Acts 4:32-35 Testimony and Generosity Our Christian faith is grounded in love, something we discuss frequently. We are taught that we are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, and souls. And we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. As United Methodists, we should take a moment to consider this point as treated and taught by John Wesley. As described in Paul Chilcote’s book, Multiplying Love, 1 John 4:19 was foundational to both preacher John and hymn-writer Charles Wesley: “We love because God loved us first.” In John Wesley’s Explanatory Notes on the New Testament, he wrote, “This is the sum of all religion, the genuine model of Christianity. We live in the light and love of Christ, the risen Christ, and we are called to share that love. It is that simple.” From this starting place, consider today’s short lectionary reading from Acts. In it, we find two main points, both of which tie back to this ...
