2 – Living in the Real World
Mar 1Tap to summarize1 John 2 tells us truths about what Jesus has done for us, the love which now defines our lives, and who we are as children of God. These truths do more than satisfy our curiosity, but show us how to live in the greater reality of God’s love.

1 – Living in the Light
Feb 22Tap to summarizeWe all want to truly know and to be truly known, but where can such community be found? In his first epistle, the apostle John offers us some initial answers to that question. True community means living in the light, and he both points us to the Light-giver and denounces the lies that keep us in the dark.

5 – Lord and God
Feb 8Tap to summarizeThomas, though often remembered as a skeptic, is also the disciple who first referred to Jesus as God, undoubtedly the most profound of Jesus’s titles. It is also the claim that draws the most criticism from modern skeptics. In this session, we address the arguments of those who deny the truth of Thomas’s words and explore the remarkable implications of Jesus as our Lord and God.

4 – Lamb of God
Feb 1Tap to summarizeJohn the Baptist gives the first answer to the question of who Jesus is: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” These words are a vital clue to understanding Jesus and why he matters for us, and so in this session, we examine what John meant.

3 – The Christ
Jan 25Tap to summarizeChrist is so commonly applied to Jesus and used so repeatedly in the New Testament that many today assume it is part of his name. But it is a title: Jesus is “the Christ.” In this session, we explore what that means and why it matters to us today.

2 – Teacher
Jan 18Tap to summarizeJesus is certainly more than a great teacher, though we ought not skip over what it means for Jesus to be just that. In this session, we consider what people thought of Jesus’s teaching, what kind of a teacher he is, and what it means to be his student.

1 – The Many Faces of Jesus
Jan 11Tap to summarizeWho is Jesus, really? People debated it in Jesus’s day and continue to debate it today. Is Jesus a gentle savior, a fierce revolutionary, a kind friend, an uncompromising prophet, or a warrior king? In this session, we examine the implications of these answers, for how we answer this question often says more about us than it does about Jesus himself.

6 – Psalm 148
Dec 14Tap to summarize“Praise the Lord!” This three-word exhortation begins and ends the last five psalms in the Psalter. Why is praise important, and how can we join the psalmist in praise, seeing the world as he also sees it? This sixth and concluding session of our study of the Psalms addresses these questions.

5 – Psalm 121
Dec 7Tap to summarizeWhat should you do when you are anxious or afraid? The answer Psalm 121 offers is very similar to what we experience in our Anglican liturgy. When we feel afraid, we look away from what troubles us, we lift up our eyes and hearts to God, and we take refuge in the One who promises to keep us.

4 – Psalm 73
Nov 30Tap to summarizeJesus said the poor in spirit, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers will experience true happiness, yet those who seem to be having the best life often care little about what Jesus has to say. Why are we tempted to lose faith in the promise of Jesus? If you have ever found yourself wondering, then Psalm 73 is here to anchor you.
