These jokes provide humorous wordplay and misinterpretations related to biblical people, stories and themes. Examples include Noah "floating his stock" while others faced "liquidation" during the flood, and Pharaoh's daughter going to "the bank of the Nile" to draw out Moses as a "little prophet". Other jokes play on multiple meanings of words like Adam and Eve feeling "really put out" after being expelled, and Cain hating Abel "as long as he was Abel".

The Passion Week of Jesus refers to the last week of Jesus before His crucifixion. The week begins with the Triumphant Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and ends with Jesus’ death on the Cross and His burial in the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.
The events of this week are recorded in the following passages of Scriptures:
Matthew 21-27
Mark 11-15
Luke 19-23
John 12-19
When people read the descriptions of Israel’s feasts in the Old Testament, they are often tempted to shift into high speed . . . what possible relevance do they have for us today? Yet we believe that this often overlooked subject is full of spiritual truths that are intensely relevant to our past, present, and future.
Come and See | A Sermon on John 1:35-51 from the Narrative LectionarySteve Thomason
Four people encounter Jesus for the first time. Each of them have a different experience. Jesus invites each of them, not to memorize a creed or join an institution, but to follow him and to come and see where he abides. That is the invitation of the Gospel of John. Come and See who Jesus is and how we can abide with God each day.

Gethsemane: The Place of Crushing_ Mt. 26.31-56Stephen Palm
Gethsemane has been described as “the place of crushing”. It was an olive grove which included an olive press. In our text we will see how Peter, Jesus and the disciples are all crushed in some way, a painful extraction process which propels God’s purposes, nonetheless. We all go through Gethsemane seasons where we are pressed and refined.

V. Communicate your message in a way that is tailored to your specific audience. For instance, you could consider your vocabulary, your audience’s potential current knowledge of historical events, or lack thereof, and what is specifically important to the audience.
The Conversion of the Jews
Philip Roth (1959)
“You’re a real one for opening your mouth in the first place,”
Itzie said. “What do you open your mouth all the time for?”
“I didn’t bring it up, Itz, I didn’t,” Ozzie said.
“What do you care about Jesus Christ for anyway?”
“I didn’t bring up Jesus Christ. He did. I didn’t even know
what he was talking about. Jesus is historical, he kept
saying. Jesus is historical.” Ozzie mimicked the
monumental voice of Rabbi Binder.
“Jesus was a person that lived like you and me,” Ozzie
continued. “That’s what Binder said—“
“Yeah? ... So what! What do I give-two cents whether he
lived or not. And what do you gotta open your mouth!” Itzie
Lieberman favored closed-mouthedness, especially when it
came to Ozzie Freedman’s questions. Mrs. Freedman had
to see Rabbi Binder twice before about Ozzie’s questions
and this Wednesday at four-thirty would be the third time.
Itzie preferred to keep his mother in the kitchen; he settled
for behind-the-back subtleties such as gestures, faces,
snarls and other less delicate barnyard noises.
“He was a real person, Jesus, but he wasn’t like God, and
we don’t believe he is God.” Slowly, Ozzie was explaining
Rabbi Binder’s position to Itzie, who had been absent from
Hebrew School the previous afternoon.
“The Catholics,” Itzie said helpfully, “they believe in Jesus
Christ, that he’s God.” Itzie Lieberman used “the Catholics”
in its broadest sense—to include the Protestants.
Ozzie received Itzie’s remark with a tiny head bob, as
though it were a footnote, and went on. “His mother was
Mary, and his father probably was Joseph,” Ozzie said. “But
the New Testament says his real father was God.”

Do you ever wonder how much sharing your faith really makes an impact? Phil and Al Robertson share thought-provoking stories about the transformations they have experienced and witnessed through God’s life-altering grace in this 7 day reading plan.

Paul wrote this epistle from prison in Rome where he had plenty of time as he awaited his trial. Daille wrote, "The imprisonment of St. Paul has done the church more good than the prosperity of the rest of the faithful of that age." This letter was written the same time as the letter to the Ephesians and Philemon, and they all seem to be delivered by the same messengers, Tychicus and Onesimus who was returning to his master, Philemon, who lived in Colosse.
Can a scientist believe in God? Lecture by Daan van Schalkwijk in AUC's "Who's in Town?" lecture series at Artis Library.
See video on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSprBtozds4
Title: Can I, a scientific student, believe?
Description: One young lady, when asked what she believed, answered, 'I don't believe, I'm a biologist.' She gives voice to the widely held opinion that Christian belief is not compatible with scientific reason. In this lecture Daan van Schalkwijk will challenge this opinion.
He will illustrate the key components of the debate using a story about an AUC student, who asks himself: 'Can I believe, and be reconciled with my Jewish family?' Using this story, he will explore the key 'conflict' area of Genesis and evolution, as well as the mystery of 'life'.
Speaker: Daan van Schalkwijk
Date & Time: Tuesday 29 November, 18.00 - 19.00
Venue: AUC Artis Library (Plantage Middenlaan 45)
Convenor: Joost van Amersfoort
The statements in this presentation are the speaker's opinion, and they do not necessarily represent the opinion of AUC.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he
had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the
people walked across safely. Then he used his walkie-
talkie to radio headquarters for reinforcements. They
sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the
