The Long Game of Trusting

What do you do when life no longer fits the story you thought God was telling? On the road to Emmaus, two disciples walk away from Jerusalem carrying disappointment and confusion: “We had hoped…” Instead of instantly answering their questions, Jesus walks them back through the Scriptures and teaches them how to trust before they fully understand. Join Terry and the church at Countryside exploring suffering, expectations, unfinished stories, and why Scripture becomes not a quick answer sheet, but a steady place to stand when life doesn’t yet make sense.

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.
