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.

March 14 and 21

April 4, 11, 18, and 25

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.

Indifference is Unlikely

Focus Scripture: Luke 2:22-40 December 31, 2023 – 1 st Sunday after Christmas Indifference is Unlikely Some things we encounter in life elicit strong responses, some good, some bad. A song, a movie, an actor, an author, even a sports team: all can generate a response. I like the Eagles – the band, not the football team – but my wife can’t stand them. Why, I don’t know, but it is true. (How can you not sing along with “Desperado”? I don’t understand.) And the Dallas Cowboys, “America’s Team”: no thanks. But I know people who love them. Maybe that someone is you. Whatever your tastes, having these things to bicker and banter about can be good fun and a source of laughs as we stake out our positions. But sometimes, topics can generate much more serious responses. The being of Jesus Christ was and continues to be one of these more serious topics. As Christians, we should consider it the most consequential. In the Biblical narrative we just read (Gospel of Luke 2:22-40), we...

Gasmask

  Focus Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 November 19, 2023 I served in the United States Army Reserve in the Military Police Corps. Basic training was at For McClellan, Alabama one long, hot summer in the 80’s, the year of the Chernobyl nuke plant meltdown. I only knew that because of the USA Today newspaper headline in the vending machine in the company common area. Yes, pre-internet.             One of the most memorable days in basic training was when we were exposed to tear gas. I did not say it was good, but it was memorable.             When we arrived for our appointment at the Disco Hut, the name of the building in which we were to have our encounter with the gas, the drill sergeants were almost giddy with anticipation. They were familiar with what was to come – they had seen it many times before – and they looked forward to our shocking moments of discover...
