  ON THE MOUNT\nWomen: Week of September 14 – November 19\nMen: September
  17 – November 19 \nThe Sermon on the Mount contains some of the most fa
 miliar and treasured passages in all of scripture—from the Lord’s Pray
 er and the Beatitudes to Jesus’ gentle yet profound teachings on money\,
  ambition\, and relationships. While we often encounter these verses in fr
 agments\, treating them as separate lessons\, what if we navigated these t
 hree chapters in Matthew exactly as they were originally heard? \nJoin us 
 for this 9-session study as we walk verse by verse through Jesus’ teachi
 ng\, reading them as one cohesive message. Together we will be challenged 
 to think differently about what it means to faithfully and obediently foll
 ow Jesus. \nRegister for the time you wish to attend: \n\nMultiple group o
 ptions available to fit your schedule\n\nDon’t miss the opportunity to g
 row deeper in God’s Word and in community. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_colum

DESCRIPTION:The Des Moines Art Center invites you to join us for a free ar
 tist lecture with Valentin Noujaïm – “What Caïn saw\, and other vari
 ations on the desire to destroy.” This lecture is presented alongside th
 e Art Center’s exhibition\, “Valentin Noujaïm: La Défense\,” on vi
 ew in the Pamela Bass-Bookey and Harry Bookey Gallery September 10 – Dec
 ember 6\, 2026. \nNoujaïm is a French-Lebanese artist and filmmaker based
  between Paris\, France and Athens\, Greece. His work explores how individ
 uals and territories navigate forms of collapse\, treating contemporary ar
 chitecture as spaces charged with narratives\, tensions\, and latent imagi
 naries. Through film and video\, he examines how power\, memory\, and coll
 ective imaginaries are inscribed in built environments and what survives w
 hen they unravel. Moving between documentary and fiction\, he weaves toget
 her personal histories\, political landscapes\, and the silent weight of s
 paces to construct layered works. \nREGISTER \nFree\; registration require
