"Now Learn This Lesson from the Fig Tree" Mark 13:28, NIV
Our Latest Faith Lesson

Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood: Jesus or Dionysus?In this final installment of our three-part series on the Greek god Dionysus, we journey to the influential city of Ephesus—home to the community John was writing to—to examine just how prominent Dionysus worship was in the cultural fabric of this Greek world. John's audience knew Dionysus well.
We then explore one of the most striking elements of this worship: the ritual consumption of meat and wine—the symbolic flesh and blood of Dionysus—believed to unite the participant mystically with the god. This ritual provides a powerful backdrop to Jesus’ radical statement in John 6: “Eat my flesh and drink my blood.” Original Blog Post and Handout: Click Here |
Join the Fig Tree Coffee Club!
Come and be part of the Fig Tree Coffee Club, a community of believers hungry to dive deeper into the Word of God.
Each Wednesday morning at 9 AM CST (10 AM EST | 7 AM PST), we’ll gather virtually over coffee (or tea!) for an engaging, thought-provoking Bible study. This weekly gathering is more than a study; it’s a conversation. We’ll explore the Gospel of John together, uncovering the rich layers of meaning in the text and discovering how it speaks to our lives today. Along the way, we’ll take time to address your questions—whether they’re about the Bible, God, Jesus, or how we live out our faith.
Each session will last for an hour, but we’re committed to staying longer to answer your questions and dig into meaningful discussions. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or have years of experience, this is a space for everyone to learn, grow, and connect. Bring your Bible, your curiosity, and your coffee, and join us under the shade of the fig tree for wisdom, fellowship, and inspiration. |
