From scattered to gathered, Jesus forms a people where real, life-changing community shapes our faith.
Spiritual formation author and theologian Dallas Willard once suggested that alongside red-letter Bibles—highlighting what Jesus said—it might be just as transformative to highlight in green what Jesus did.
That’s exactly what this nine-week Tuesday journey is about.
Together, we’ll walk through the Gospel of Matthew, tracing the actions of Jesus—where He went, who He touched, what He confronted, how He responded. As we pay attention to what Jesus does, we begin to see what a life formed in the Kingdom truly looks like.
Whether you’re new to Scripture or have been reading it for years, focusing on the embodied life of Jesus will deepen your apprenticeship to Him and shape your journey into Christlikeness.
Come ready to see—and follow—Jesus in a fresh way.
