Matt 20:20-28 Beyond Us - All too often we focus on ourselves. We think about our home, car, family or finances. We pray about our needs, wants and wishes. But Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." It's better to put others' needs above our own. How can that be? In a me-first society, how can it possibly be more fun to give than it is to get? Join us in August as we move Beyond Us towards meeting the needs of others.

From Michelangelo's famous statue to Malcolm Gladwell's recent book, the ancient king-poet-warrior compels our attention. But why? Maybe it's his infectious courage and love for God. Or maybe it's his transparent mistakes and weaknesses. No matter, there's simply something about him that intersects with our own human story.
