This Sunday we will continue with the "Saving Jesus Redux" series, and we'll focus on chapter 7, Jesus' Program: the Kingdom of God.
From the handout materials:
" Jesus begins his ministry, going about the countryside proclaiming the good news of God. Ask most people on the street what the “good news” of Jesus is and, after sputtering a bit, they might say something like, “that Jesus died for my sins?” Indeed, that’s what most people have been convinced is the “good news.” But how weird would it have been for Jesus to start his ministry with, “Hi! I’m Jesus—and I died for your sins!” Huh? People would have rightly looked a bit suspiciously at him. According to the text, the “good news” has nothing to do with sin or Jesus’ death or much of anything embraced by practitioners of pop Christianity. The “good news” Jesus proclaims is the Kingdom of God is here, it’s now. "
Please join us at 9:45. It'll be an interesting session. And as ever, loving childcare is provided
