reVerse Bible School: A Whale of a Tale
Jonah 1:1, 17, 2:10 & 3:1-5

October 18, 2026

Message by: Rev. Brandon Johnson

​

A big fish, a wild storm, and a changed city.... Jonah's story is anything but simple. Does God cause suffering when an individual or community does not listen? What does it mean to be delivered? Let's explore these questions alongside the story of Jonah this Sunday.

reVerse Bible School:
Revisiting Sodom and Gomorrah
Genesis 19:1-11

October 11, 2026

Message by: Rev. Brandon Johnson

We often hear about the story as a tool to condemn and/or marginalize the LGBTQI+ community. Guess what? That’s a misuse and toxic interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah. Did you know that Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Jesus all reinterpreted or used the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in their own context? They used it to talk about religious corruption, hospitality, and welcoming the stranger. Join us on Sunday to find out more!

reVerse Bible School:
Joshua, We Have a Problem
Joshua 5:13-15 and 6:1-5

October 4, 2026

Message by: Rev. Brandon Johnson

What happens when a beloved story becomes more trouble when we read it closely as violence consumes the Middle East? This Sunday we’ll revisit the story of Jericho and unpack what it means when violence, conquest, and destruction are portrayed as God’s will. Is it possible to affirm a God whose presence should not be used to bless domination and destruction?
