“I can’t believe this!” “Did that really just happen?” “I'm at a loss for words.” “You have some nerve!” Statements like these reveal the shock and awe we have when we witness someone acting or speaking in ways that appear audacious. But what happens when that person is God? What do we say and how do we respond when the person being audacious is none other than Jesus of Nazareth?

Join us for a deep dive into the amazing world of the Gospel of Luke as we kick off the New Year with our first teaching series. Get ready to be shaken to the core by the audacious nature of God's plan to rescue us from darkness and set our hearts ablaze with a passion to spread His radical love. Buckle up because we're about to witness The Audacity of God!

The Christmas story, as told by Luke, is woven with song—from Jesus’ conception to his dedication at the temple, music accompanies every scene, infusing it with wonder. Each song reveals something different, something significant about the arrival of this miraculous Child. Jesus’s birth enables us to find hope in adversity, peace in the darkness, enduring love, and resilient joy.

How can we all get along in God’s diverse family? Is it even possible? The city of Ephesus was comprised of people who came from different backgrounds — racially, economically, and politically. It’s no wonder the believers in that city were finding it difficult to come together as one, put aside their differences, and get along in God’s new family.

The 1st-century church in Ephesus had the same problems we face in the 21st century. As we dive into the book of Ephesians we’ll discover how to live in the grace and mercy of God and how to show the world what a diverse church that Loves God and Loves People looks like.
