Returning in the Long Game
On the road to Jerusalem, ten men are healed—and only one comes back. Terry slows down that moment to explore the difference between receiving mercy and recognizing it, and why relief alone can quietly move us on without ever turning us toward Jesus. In Luke 17:11–19, we begin to see how resurrection life is already shaping people along the way—not just to be helped, but to return, to recognize, and to be made whole.
Series Information
Lent through Pentecost traces the long road of Jesus toward Jerusalem — toward suffering, surrender, resurrection, and ultimately the sending of the Spirit. Again and again, the disciples misunderstand the path. They expect quick victory, visible power, and immediate clarity. Instead, Jesus keeps leading them deeper into a Kingdom that moves differently than the world expects. In this series, Terry walks us through the slower rhythms of faith — waiting instead of rushing, trusting instead of controlling, and discovering, often later than we expected, that resurrection was already moving beneath the surface. From ashes to fire, from wilderness to empty tomb, from fear to witness, The Long Game invites us to follow Jesus not merely toward Easter morning, but toward the kind of life that can only be formed over time.
