Becoming Like Jesus: Upside Down Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

Our Becoming Like Jesus series continues into Luke 6 as we read along together. We talk about Jesus’ method for re-forming values, identity and purpose. Jesus sets up the questions, and his teaching provides the framework in which we can discover the answers – and a high point is the beatitudes, where we see just how different God’s way is to what we might think.

Becoming Like Jesus: Agent Provocateur Oct 23, 2022

Our Becoming Like Jesus series continues into Luke 5 as we read along together. This week is full of scandal and surprise… at least it was in Jesus’ time. We dig into things to appreciate Jesus the challenger, and think about how his challenges can shape us.

Becoming Like Jesus: Two Responses Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

As we continue reading Luke together in the Becoming Like Jesus series, we dive into some big themes from Jesus’ temptation to a breakout of healing. This week presents two influences, and two responses. The coming Kingdom of God battles against the kingdom of darkness, and people demonstrate polar opposite responses as they choose sides. Are we becoming like Jesus in the ways we are influenced, and like the response Jesus affirms?

We're back! As we kick off a series at AJC all about Becoming Like Jesus, and reading Luke's gospel together along the way, we have a conversation about what it looks like to read the Bible for formation. How do we move from consuming more input, to a dynamic interaction with God that moves at the pace of God's leading? We also chat through this week's reading with a few tips on what to look out for.
