When Jesus came to earth, he didn’t just build friendships and relationships. He built spiritually-significant relationships. And when we imitate Jesus, we turn the world upside down. If you know someone who’s searching for significance, invite them this Sunday 10AM in-person or online to find out how Jesus can change the world through them, beginning by changing their heart.
According to a recent Barna study, a majority of American Christians (56%) feel their spiritual lives are entirely private. Yet, when we read about the lives of Jesus and His disciples, we see that spiritual growth is best fostered in community. This Sunday, we’ll be encouraged to start the new year investing in friendships that are life-giving and fruitful.
Luke records a time when Jesus was a child. His family made their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, but Jesus was so hungry for God’s word that he stayed behind. Joseph and Mary realized he wasn’t with them, only to find him in “his Father’s house.”
