Wednesday night community is back! Join us for My Weird Bible, 11 weeks on the passages that finally make sense.

My Weird Bible will explore some of the strangest, most confusing, and often misunderstood passages in Scripture. By digging into the historical, cultural, and biblical context behind these stories, the series helps make sense of what can feel weird or unsettling—and shows how even the most unusual parts of the Bible reveal God’s character and invite us into deeper faith.

 HELPFUL VOCABULARY

Balaam — A professional diviner from Pethor, near the Euphrates River. Historically attested outside the Bible in a 9th-century Aramaic inscription found at Deir Alla, Jordan. He was a real, internationally recognized seer-for-hire in the ancient Near East.

Diviner / Seer — A professional in the ancient world who claimed to mediate between the divine realm and the human realm — interpreting omens, delivering oracles, and pronouncing curses or blessings on behalf of paying clients.

Oracle — A formal, poetic pronouncement believed to originate from a divine source. Balaam delivers four oracles in Numbers 23–24, each one more explicit than the last.

The Angel of the LORD — A divine figure who appears throughout the OT in moments of cosmic significance. His appearances are always threshold moments — something decisive is happening in the unseen realm.
