WEEK 1 – No Easy Button
It’s popular to think that choosing to follow Jesus will solve all our problems; health, financial, relational, you name. it. We tell ourselves that if we believe in Jesus, go to church, and do all the right things, he will make our lives easier. But nowhere in the Bible are we promised an easy life in return for choosing to follow Jesus. In fact, Jesus promised just the opposite. He said we would have trouble in this world. But he also said that he had overcome the world. Following Jesus doesn’t make our lives easier, but it always makes them better.

WEEK 5 – As You Go
Jesus told us to “go and make disciples.” We often assume this applies to ‘professional Christians’ like pastors and missionaries. But Jesus intended for every follower to make disciples. And we don’t have to wait to be sent. He has already sent us. His plan was that as we go through life, as we get ‘out there’ we are to point other people to the reality of a God who loves them and will radically transform them so they too can experience a life worth living.

WEEK 4 – Better Than…
Our natural tendency is to hang on to what we have. Letting go of and giving away our resources seems kind of ‘out there’. But Jesus tells us that when we choose to be extravagant with our generosity, not only will our faith grow stronger, but he’ll use our resources to transform our world.

WEEK 3 – The Unforgivable
When we’ve been wrong, we want to get even. When we’ve been wronged, we want someone to make it right. We want someone to pay. But our demand for repayment poisons our souls and wreaks havoc on our relationships. However, Jesus calls us to do something that’s unthinkable, something that is out there. Jesus calls us to forgive the unforgivable. Not because they deserve forgiveness, but because God, through Jesus, has forgiven the unforgivable in us.

WEEK 1 – What We Know
Almost every world religion is based on the teachings and writings of a great teacher. Christianity is different. The basis for our faith is an historical event that changed the world. A dead man came back to life and offers the promise of a new life for those who will trust in and follow him. It may seem like an ‘out there’ claim, but it’s one that is worth investigating and will radically reshape your life when you know the truth.
