Co-operating with the wisest, kindest, most powerful person in the universe would seem to make sense, and many of us intend to do just that. Why is it so hard to consistently do so? Is there any help for us?  One of the biggest impediments to living prayerfully is that we have tried it and it hasn't worked. Now what? How do we handle our disappointment with God?  We can learn a lot from Jesus, watching him persevere in prayer and in all his interactions.  Almost everybody prays now and then. Most people pray when they are in trouble, even if they are not sure they believe in God. So the question is not if we pray, but How? This Sunday we start a 6 week series on praying.  Sometimes we get confused or frustrated when things don't go as planned. It's worth asking ourselves, What did I expect? Peter shows us Jesus' expectation for his own life, and thus for ours.  Why do followers of Jesus read the Bible? What is it that makes a passage in the Bible come alive? We explore that Sunday by watching the risen Jesus teach about himself.  Sometimes informal English carries the deepest truths. Y'all come hear about who "you" are!  This changes everything: Jesus rose from the dead and gives us life!

Jesus was betrayed, and all his followers fled. Yet Jesus remained steadfast and courageous throughout. Do you know what happened? You need to know. Join us Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 7:00 pm.  Jesus made an important entrance to the major city of Jerusalem, and it galvanized the crowd. But less than a week later they were calling for his death. Why? And what does his entrance mean for us?  |
