The theme for the 2017 Pepperdine Bible Lectures was Scrolls for a Robust Salvation, focusing on the Scrolls of the Megilloth. I admit that I knew nothing about these scrolls or their intention in the annual spiritual rhythms of Jewish life. The scrolls of Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Lamentations, and Song of Songs are the five Scrolls of the Megilloth, which are read at certain, dedicated times or festivals in the Jewish calendar. Their purpose is to remind us of God’s plan, God’s love, and His redemption/salvation. And they are read in the context of community to solidify those reminders.

When you were a kid, you may have been in a club. Maybe it was Girl Scouts. Maybe you had a tree house and created a club of your closest friends, posting “No boys allowed!” on the door. In high school, your club might have been the journalism team or FFA. You may have walked around with Greek letters on your shirt in college, or maybe you were in chorus or band.
As an adult, you may find yourself in a club to which you never intended to belong.
