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...

Just One More

Focus Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:16-23 and Mark 1:29-39 February 4, 2024 – 5 th Sunday after Epiphany Just One More Our Christian faith is one of action. God expects us to do God’s work. God works in us, among us, and through us. Christianity requires effort. Both the 1 Corinthians and Mark scriptures this morning feature a driving force: the motivation to fulfill the mission for which one was created. Jesus is explicit: “That is what I came out to do” (v.38). Paul’s message is similar, as it should be: “I do it all for the sake of the gospel so that I might become a partner in it” (v.23). This statement from Paul is the conclusion to the text we just heard. It concludes his explanation that he will become as a Jew for the Jews, a Gentile for the Gentiles. In this description of Paul’s work, we see that he is willing to meet people wherever they are physically and spiritually to bring them to Christ. He wants to save some. God inspires us to action if we listen. In the ea...
