New series begin November 14th.  Luke: Gut-level Compassion by Lisa Harper. Sign-up now if interested so we have time to get all the books.

This eight session bible study of the Gospel of Luke doesn't celebrate the elite, but rather embraces the outliers, outcasts and overlooked. Of the 66 books of our canonized Bible, all were written by Jewish authors or they're anonymous, except for the duo written by Luke - The Gospel of Luke, and it's sequel, the Book of Acts. Luke takes unconventional thinking and just flips it on its head. He takes the least of these, the unlovely, the impoverished, the invisible, and he brings all of them to Jesus, who embraces them with a deep, visceral, active compassion that changes their loves forever. 

Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated facade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either.

The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger!  The study guide includes the guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, personal study of Scripture and context, scripture memory cards and coloring pages and individual access code to stream all eight video sessions online.
