Supporting Pearl's Work
/This Sunday we pause from our Rhythms & Values sermon series to consider a theology of giving, which is really a theology about our hearts.
Sermons at Pearl seek to engage the ancient stories, poems, and letters in the Bible through imaginative oration that rouses our wholeness as human beings. The act of the sermon at Pearl is space to ponder the sacred, opportunity to consider the mystery and love of God, and provocation to slow down, to think deeply, and to be stirred and inspired to bountifully live.
This Sunday we pause from our Rhythms & Values sermon series to consider a theology of giving, which is really a theology about our hearts.
As many of us return to more consistent pace and pattern, after summer, it can be helpful to remember and reflect upon why we do what we do. This sermon series therefore intends to remind us of the rhythms that we are intentionally cultivating together and it celebrates our values, which define the fundamental elements of our essence and character.

This week’s sermon is a bridge between two sermon series. By telling the story of the Bible it concludes our three part series titled, Bible Primer. Also, because one of our rhythms at Pearl is to cultivate a sacred story, this sermon will be the beginning of our new series addressing our church’s rhythms and values.
It is common to spend time reading particular verses, sections, chapters, or specific books in the Bible. However, this practice makes understanding how the whole Bible fits together and comprehending its larger motifs, difficult to follow. So, this series intends to cover every book in the Bible, in two weeks. Week One will propose a framework for how all of the books of the Bible work together and it will begin to cover the books that do not progress the Bible’s overall story. Week Two will pick up where Week One left off by covering the remainder of the books that do not progress the biblical narrative and then it will conclude by telling the story of the Bible.
