The Best Parties

You Had to Be There

We have a sense that life with God is a chore, full of rules and regulations. People in the Church are often secretly jealous of those outside the Church because they get to have all the fun. But according to Jesus, God throws the best parties. And there's more than enough room for the saints and the sinners.

From Series: "You Had to Be There"

The way Jesus taught attracted every kind of person, from the ultra-religious to the irreligious. What was it about his teaching? We miss how provocative his parables were because we're not first century Galilean peasants. In this series, we ask what it would be like if Jesus came today. What would his stories sound like? Just how good is this good news? Trust us... you had to be there.

How many times have you heard about one of those spectacular events in the Old Testament and thought, “It must be nice!” If only I had seen the Red Sea part, or Elijah’s showdown on Mt. Carmel. Then it’d be so easy to trust God! But apparently that’s not true. We see again and again that the big events aren’t what transform us into God’s people. Rather, we find God in the ordinary phenomena we see every day.

Join us in January as we explore these Big Events to find what God was calling his people to then – and now: an ordinary, every day relationship that’s nothing short of phenomenal.
