Do you feel like you have a lot of questions about Jesus – who he is and what his call on your life really means? Do you ever think you need to get all your questions answered or have a better understanding of the Bible and God before you can fully surrender and get in the game?
This week we look at how Jesus’s followers were full of confusion and questions and misconceptions about Jesus, God, and the Kingdom – and yet, that didn’t stop Jesus from inviting them to start proclaiming his kingdom and sharing his power and authority with them. The Christian life is a “learn as you go” enterprise – and perfect people with perfect understanding are not expected or required. We will look at how Jesus invites his followers to join him in the work that - up ‘til now - they have watched him do – and they are super excited when they find that they can do the very things they see Jesus doing! Yet at the same time they also continue to struggle with understanding this new kingdom and how it works. Time and time again they learn that their vision is much smaller than Jesus’s vision, yet he graciously shares and teaches and mentors them in all their confusion – comforting and inspiring for those of us in the same boat today!
