Week 2 on the Book of Jude. Here are a couple of helpful references. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah can be found in Genesis 18-19. The story of Cain in Genesis 4. Balaam is referenced in several places throughout Scripture but the initial story is in Numbers 22 and subsequent chapters and referenced again in Revelation 2:14. Korah's rebellion can be found in Numbers 16. Jenny made a comment about the story of Michael disputing over Moses' body is in an apocryphal book. That is incorrect. That story may have been in a now lost book called "The Assumption of Moses" which Origen (an early church theologian) mentions in his writing.
Sometimes reading Scripture requires a little (or a lot of) extra digging.

Let's start off 2023 with a dive into Scripture.

Today's episode we welcome one of our favorite people, Major Cherri Hobbins who was the principal of the training college where we studied to become officers in The Salvation Army. Have your paper and pencils ready to add to your book list and be ready to be encouraged.
The subscription service mentioned is Scribd (there is a cost) and can be found online and as an app. Jenny has found it to be helpful in keeping book purchases down while still being able to read copiously.

Misfit Messengers
Throughout Scripture we see God use all sorts of different people for His purposes, even the misfits, especially the misfits. That's us. We're just ordinary people that God has called to share His Gospel message with those we meet. We're misfits, but misfits with a message of hope, of love; a message that is changing the world. We invite you to our conversation about that message and the one who sent it to us to share.
