The people had been taken out of Egypt, but God still needed to get Egypt out of them. Having been surrounded by the culture of Egypt and its many gods, the people of Israel needed to be reformed as a people chosen by the one true God.

The Long Story Short Class - Exodus

For this weeks episode of the Long Story Short class, we will be examining Moses's life before the actual exodus out of Egypt.

The Long Story Short Class - Fall

This week in the Long Story Short Class we will be taking an in-depth look at Genesis 3. Guest speaker Alex Massad delivers a master class on how the fall of humanity relates to sin, death, and law. Alex also gives us an analysis on what did and didn't change because of the fall, and then invites us to look more broadly at creation as a whole and how other cultures different from one's own can provide valuable insight.
 
Editors note: Apologies! During the recording of this class, some unfortunate background noises occurred that made some of the audience questions and commentary unusable. Every effort has been made to preserve Alex's responses in as cohesive a manner as possible.

Long Story Short: Fall

God created man and woman in God's image to live in perfect, unbroken relationship with God, one another and all creation. But humanity's choice to try and be their own master, separated them from that close relationship with God and one another and marred their connection to creation.
Genesis 3
Romans 5:6-8, 12-15; 6:23

The Long Story Short Class - Creation

This week, we explore our first real highlight of the bible in the Long Story Short series with a deep look at creation, focusing on Genesis 1 & 2. Dr. David Bruner walks us through what both of these creation narratives tell us about God and us, what makes the Hebrew/Christian creation narrative different from other cultures, and then invites us to take a closer look at some of the terminology as well as differences between both of these chapters.

Long Story Short: Creation

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. We often get caught up in the questions of "how"? But Scripture is much more interested in leading us to ask the question, "why?" Why did God create? What does the creation story tell us about God? What does it tell us about ourselves? And how does that knowledge lead us to live?
Genesis 1-2
John 1:1-5
