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.

The Light of the World (Christmas Eve 2023)

Focus Scriptures: Isaiah 9:2 and Titus 2:11 and Luke 2:1-20 December 24, 2023 – Christmas Eve The Light of the World The Great Light has entered the world! The people who have walked in darkness have seen it. The shepherds have seen it. Mary, the humble and faithful, gave birth to the baby Jesus and laid him in a manger as there was no other place to go. This quiet beginning led to events that changed the world, with effects that reverberate to this day. While there are many messages we could consider in this evening’s scriptures, there is just one I would like us to focus on: grace. Advent Wreath and Altar First UMC of Shelton God sent Jesus, God’s only son, to save us from ourselves. While we were and are unworthy of such great love and grace, God did it anyway. For God so loved the world – the people, us – that God sent Jesus Christ to take on our sin, to pay our debt, so we would be justified, redeemed, and able to live in the Light of God forever. Isaiah writes that we in...

The Power of Yes (4th Sunday of Advent 2023)

Focus Scripture : Luke 1:26-38 December 24, 2023 – Fourth Sunday of Advent The Power of Yes   “For nothing will be impossible with God.” These are the final words of the angel Gabriel as he leaves Mary after delivering the big news and getting her “yes.” This yes turned the world upside down. What might your yes do? What might happen when we let God do a new thing in us and with us. The annunciation of the coming Christ child to Mary by Gabriel is a fascinating interaction, both for what Mary says and for what she doesn’t. I must imagine that for most of us, our reactions would be different. Let’s do a walk through the text of Luke 1:26-38 to see what I mean. Let us begin with the opening moments of the encounter between Gabriel and Mary, starting with Gabriel’s being and role. We see Gabriel appear four times in the Bible, twice to Daniel in the Old Testament, then twice in the new, one to announce the coming birth of John the Baptist to Elizabeth and in today’s Gospel...
