  • Offended by Grace: The Scandal of Jesus's Teaching | Seminary Intern Madeline Polhill

    In this powerful conclusion to our summer series on John 6, we delve

    into the most challenging and scandalous teachings of Jesus. What does
    it mean to follow a Savior who chose sacrifice over splendor, service
    over power? As we explore the final verses of this chapter, we confront
    the difficult call to embrace a life of sacrificial love—a life that
    defies the world's values of individualism and self-centered success.
    Join us as we reflect on the scandal of the cross and the beauty of a
    life lived in service to God and others. Discover how Jesus's teachings
    challenge us to look beyond our own comfort and toward a deeper, more
    fulfilling way of living.
    Key Takeaways:
    - The radical nature of Jesus's call to sacrificial love.
    - Understanding the true meaning of following a suffering Savior.
    - How embracing discomfort can lead to spiritual abundance and fullness
    of life in God.
