As our culture continues to become more and more socially isolated, the biblical model of community seems more and more foreign. Don Denyes continues our Storytellers series with three of Jesus’ teachings that invite us to pay attention to ourselves so we can better serve and love others.

Two Beggars
March 16, 2025 • Don Denyes • Luke 16:19–31
Living like Jesus means living counterculture. Everywhere you look people are stepping over each other to get ahead, competing with their neighbors to have the best stuff, and cutting corners to achieve the “easy life.” Don Denyes looks at another story Jesus shared with His disciples that helps us better understand what He means that “The first shall be last.”
Self-Righteous or Made Righteous
March 9, 2025 • Ben Phebus • Luke 16:13–18
God wants our hearts! We sometimes go through the motions, but miss the point. Ben Phebus looks at an interaction between Jesus and the Pharisees in Luke and reminds us that loving God and loving others, isn’t just about following rules. It first requires humility and repentance.
