SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, October 16, 2022

Modern-day Jesus followers are called to emulate and imitate the ways of Jesus, but how does one go about such a tall task?

In our often polarized and divided world, many groups have ascribed certain character traits to "their version" of Jesus of Nazareth. But what examples do we have of Jesus' way with the unincorporated and marginalized? What should we notice about the actions, reactions, and interactions of Jesus with the out-groups of His day

This Sunday we look forward to a challenging message from the Gospel of Luke, connecting the words and ways of Jesus with ideas for applications for today.
