In this series we will discuss how Jesus’ life and teachings turned people’s world upside down, and how He still does that to us today.
Week #1: Law to Relationship (December 3)
This week we will introduce the series and talk about the profound implications of Jesus changing things from law to relationship. This is something that is HUGE and yet we can easily take it for granted.
Scripture:
Matthew 22:34-40
Matthew 5:17
Week #2: The Beauty of Doubt (December 10)
This week we will talk about how Jesus can handle our tough questions, and actually He encourages us to come to Him with our tough questions of doubt. Doubt can be a good thing when it leads us to action by searching and coming to Him for answers.
Scripture: John 20: 24-29
Week #3: Jesus’ Third Way (December 17)
When confronted with evil we often think that we only have 2 options: return evil with evil or become a victim. Jesus offers us a third option, one that that more creative and redemptive. This week we will discuss how we can creatively apply Jesus’ Third Way in our own lives.
Scripture: Matthew 5: 38-41
