The Branch

Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. How do we do this?

Bless those who persecute you and do not curse. Both Jesus and Paul said these words that are hard to live out.

We are called to share with those both inside and outside of the church.

How do we display hope and love in the face of adversity and persist to our eternal goal?

What does zealous love look like for followers of Jesus?

Devote yourselves to one another in love. Honor each other above yourselves. This is what Paul challenges his readers to do in Romans 12:10.

How does a countercultural message like this hit us?

In Romans 12, Paul tells us that love must be sincere, it should flee from evil and cling to what is good. What does this mean and what does this look like for disciples of Jesus?

Have you ever been accused of something you didn't do? We look at this idea and a few others through the film "The Shawshank Redemption."

We look at outcasts, betrayal, and temptation through the film "Wicked."

We look at the themes of jealousy, faithfulness, and injustice through the film Amadeus.
