Jesus Encounters a Mob: Luke 4
 Beginning a new series entitled "Jesus Encounters," Sy Huffer, our Lead Minister, challenges us that when you choose to love the kind of people that Jesus loved, you will encounter mobs and messes.



Pray: Jesus came to bring a party, he came to rid the world of sin and evil and injustice in the world. When you pray, what about this world wrecks you? What do you want God eradicate from our reality? What breaks your heart?

Speak: Who do you know that is different than you and is living life without the hope of God’s heaven on earth, ? What about Jesus’ death and resurrection can you share with that person?

Grow: Growing in our faith means intentionally investing in mentoring and training others in following Jesus. What does it look like to love the foreigner, the stranger, the lost, and the person different than you? What does bringing a party to them look like AS you disciple others in their faith?

Love: When you love those different than you, you will create a mob and mess. Are you willing to be judged wrongly, to experience slander, gossip, maybe even hate speech in order to love those who are desperately in need of Jesus and his party?
