Is the Bible pro-violence? What’s with the violent pictures of God in the Old Testament? Our Lead Pastor Nate Ray continues our teaching series, “How (Not) to Read the Bible.” This message will help give you handles when you come across passages like the one he’ll talk about from Joshua 10. When we remember the Bible was written for us, but not to us, we can better grapple with passages like these. Listen as he concludes our series.
