Reclaim Wine as a Gift from God

Wine is one the most celebrated gifts and blessings from God. It is also the most talked about food in the Bible. But have we neglected this important biblical theme and fragrant gift from God? In this six-session video Bible study, Gisela Kreglinger and Randy Frazee invite us into an exploration of wine’s place in the Bible, in the history of the church, and in the church’s feasting and fellowship today.

Gisela brings her perspective as a scholar who was raised in a vintner’s family, and Randy brings his perspective as a pastor who was raised in a teetotaling home. They remind us that wine is a gift from God and that we are to receive it with gratitude and enjoy it in a wholesome, communal, and redemptive way.

While not shying away from concerns surrounding the challenges of alcohol abuse, they both promote a culture of healing from such disorders and recover a vision for how wine and food welcome us into a full-bodied understanding of the gospel as we await the return of the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.
