We surround ourselves with people who like us. We surround ourselves with people who are like us. But Jesus calls us to maintain relationships with those who disagree with us. How do we do that? The key to becoming a merciful person is to view yourself as a person in need of mercy.

THE BIG IDEA: You can’t have mercy if you’re self-righteous, because mercy comes to those who need it.

Easter Matters

If you think Jesus was a great leader and teacher, but find it hard to believe in his resurrection? You’re in good company. Even his disciples were skeptical. But those same followers were the ones who would later become the spokesmen of a new movement: the church. They would maintain faith in the midst of incredible suffering. Many died still claiming that Jesus was their Savior. So what do we make of this defining event—the one that became the foundation of their faith . . . and of ours? THE BIG IDEA: The resurrection of Jesus created Christianity & launched the church.

Good Friday

Before Pilate

At Passover, Jesus gathered his followers and spelled out a new relational arrangement between God and humankind: “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” But Jesus wasn’t celebratory. He seemed troubled. Initiating this new covenant with God would require sacrifice. What came next would confuse his followers and send them scattering. THE BIG IDEA: When Jesus died, everybody unfollowed and everybody unbelieved.
