Christ as Present Teacher: Understanding the Way of Jesus
This study — in its focus on Kingdom values — challenges us to trust in God’s provision while living into the humility and love that Jesus models. In addition, each week we’ll consider how members of the early church understood God’s compassion and what it meant to be Jesus’ disciples. May our minds and our hearts long for the righteousness only Jesus’ Spirit can bring, open to deeper understanding and fiercely committed to following our Guide no matter the cost.
