Lent & Easter

It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.



Paying Ridiculous Attention To Jesus

Does God exist? Two thousand years ago, an eyewitness named John saw the miracles, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of a man he concluded was the Son of God. John recorded what he saw as evidence, so future generations could reach the same conclusion. So, what if Jesus really is the Son of God? Take time during Lent to read John's account and ask yourself, "What if it's true?"

What if it's true?
