CHAPTER 29 Pastor Greg is bucking convention, which is never a wise move within the walls of Orchard Grove Bible Church. He’s not preaching a typical Joseph-and-Mary sermon like every other pastor I’ve heard in December. The way he explains it, he’s committed to teaching a book of the Bible straight through, come hell or high water or Advent season. Another reason I doubt he’ll be here the next time I’m crazy enough to step foot in this sanctuary. So in keeping with his sermon schedule, he’s in the Old Testament, talking to us about Abigail, the woman who went behind her husband’s back to save her household from King David’s wrath. I find it interesting and a little disappointing that someone as prudent as Abigail never finds herself listed among the famous women of the Old Testament.
