The “Second Coming” is one of the main teachings of Jesus. What does it mean? And what should be our response? Is it passively waiting for Jesus to destroy the world and carry us away to heaven? Or something else? Join us as Jesus shows us the answers in this passage.

One of our biggest fears as human beings is FOBLO: Fear Of Being Left Out. We all want to live in a world where we are welcomed, wanted, and invited in. The question that Jesus is pressing on us, however, is not, “Do you want to live in a world where you are welcomed?” The question is, “Do you want to live in a world that welcomes people you would exclude?” What would such a world look like? How would we create such a world? And how is it even possible? Join us this week as Jesus shows us the surprising answer.

We have a lot of ideas about what true freedom is. The Bible says that freedom is not the absence of power over you, but having the the right power over you. What does this mean, and how does it happen? Join us as we continue our series on discipleship in the gospel of Luke.

In the “Travel Narrative” of Luke’s gospel, Jesus invites his followers on a spiritual journey. That sounds very appealing. What’s not so appealing is the amount of time Jesus spends talking about money. And yet we worry about money all the time. Jesus is showing us that we can’t really follow him on this spiritual journey unless we get honest about the deep spiritual problem we have with money. In this passage, he helps us face the problem and provides the remedy.

This passage offers us two challenges. First, Jesus calls his followers to persuade others to follow him (otherwise known as evangelism, and a definite no-no in our culture). Second, he addresses one of our deepest aspirations as humans: to be real, true, authentic selves. On the surface, those two things appear to have nothing to do with each other. But Jesus says they have everything to do with each other! How? Join us as we continue this series on following Jesus.

In moments of desperation, even the most skeptical people will very often find themselves praying to God for help. But when that desperate moment comes, do we know what to say? If you are going to ask God for help, then you need to know how to pray. In Luke 11, Jesus teaches us how to do just that. Join us as we continue our series on learning discipleship from Jesus.
