Learning to Read the Bible, Week 9: Parts of Parts of Parts

<p><strong>Sermon:</strong> Parts of Parts of Parts</p> <p><strong>Scripture:</strong></p> <p>Judges 6:36-40</p> <p><strong>Speaker:</strong> Rev. Dan Wunderlich</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> Legos are great because every piece is so versatile.

The same is true with plot in biblical narrative.</p> <p><strong>Sermon Series:</strong> Learning to Read the Bible</p> <p>Even if we accept that the Bible is not a textbook or moral instruction manual, we can still desire more clarity.
