If all of life is a show, what is your role? Do you put on an act? Are you more of a spectator in your own life? Jesus captured people's attention. He knew how to draw a crowd and his ministry changed lives. Come and discover what Scripture has to say about living the greatest show and learning from the greatest showman the world has ever known.
When thinking about what it is that makes someone a Christian, we tend to start with "belief." Someone confesses faith in Jesus, learns what is expected of his/her behavior as a Christian and finds belonging in community with other believers. Here's the thing: Jesus didn't operate that way, nor does that trajectory work for everyone on the outskirts of the church today. Join us this Easter season as we explore the ways in which Jesus modeled a gospel of homecoming, demonstrating the basic need for and power of belonging--even before we know all that we believe or how we are to behave.
Since it's inception, Christians have joined in God's kingdom work by living out their faith. Their surprising words, actions and attitudes have alerted people in our communities to the reign of God. Unfortunately, the world at large isn't surprised by Christians anymore. Perhaps rediscovering with intentional regularity, the practices of blessing, eating, listening, learning and serving will change all of that...
