Named: The Despised

Named is a small group resource that tells the stories of people from Scripture through a new lens—exploring the mystery of faith with a literary touch. Each series introduces six different characters in the Bible, unpacking one every week. Become acquainted with the people identified by God in a story as particular as your own.

The people whose stories are told here are all despised by someone, and they all have the opportunity for redemption. Some accept this redemption, some never do, and in some instances, we are left to wonder.
