The Prophetic Jesus

Next Sunday, June 14, we will continue our series on Living the Questions2. Our lesson will focus on the section called "The Prophetic Jesus". This section addresses the questions of "what does it mean to prophesy?" "what do prophets do?" and, "what was the prophecy of Jesus (which has nothing to do with the rapture)?"

When Ghandi was asked the difference between himself and most Christians, Ghandi quietly replied, "I think he really meant it." (refering to Jesus' prophecy).

The voice of the prophet calls the people to remember who they really are, to act in ways that truly reflect their deepest convictions, and to discover what those convictions are.

As we explore this image of Jesus, I'll try to draw some connection to why Susan Boyle's videos from "Britain's Got Talent" have been viewed more than 100 million times. It'll be a stretch but I think it might work.

There are reading materials with the section, and if you would like copies in advance, just send me an e-mail.

As always, please feel warmly invited to join us at 9:45. There are reading materials with the section, and if you would like copies in advance, just send me an e-mail.
