Nobody Told Them To

Nobody organized the crowd that kept forming around Jesus in the temple that week. No clipboard. No schedule. No incentive to show up. Just people who couldn’t seem to leave once he started talking. Terry looks at what actually pulled a crowd toward Jesus, not obligation, not duty, just the plain, unmanufactured pull of somebody worth listening to, and asks a simpler question than usual: When was the last time following Jesus felt like leaning forward, instead of just holding still and getting through the week?

Series Information

Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
