This is a continuation of our first video about the "Renewal of Time" and how human beings long to have time renewed. (see the post below)

In the creation narrative of Genesis 1 - 3 - we find a series of seven symbols.

These seven symbols are then repeated throughout the biblical text at major points of transition - or renewal.

We can follow this pattern from the creation, to Noah, to the Exodus, to Joshua, and finally all the way up to Jesus.

This pattern also seems to play out in our lives as we are continually renewed along our path of spiritual growth.

Scott Broberg - I have a Masters of Divinity (MDiv) from Bethel Seminary - San Diego.

The focus of my studies was twofold:

First, Biblical Studies with an emphasis on the Old Testament (different from theological studies - here is a great article explaining). I love the culture, language, and history that culminates in each biblical story.

The foundation of Jesus' world is the Hebrew Bible. Everything he teaches and does is connected to the only "text" of his day. Jesus did not have a New Testament. Neither did the disciples. The more you understand the Hebrew Bible, the more you will appreciate the New Testament.

The second is Spiritual Growth or Spiritual Formation. What does it mean to be a human within God's creation, and how do we grow and change to be more like what God intended us to be?

The spiritual journey is a journey of a lifetime. It is the most challenging and rewarding thing you can do. It takes tremendous courage to face ourselves and our limitations in an effort to grow. It is THE Critical Journey.
