The New Testament (specifically Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) captures the teachings of Jesus. Through his closest followers, what Jesus said has been recorded. What we find is that Jesus spoke to a wide range of people in the first century - from the down and out to the rich and famous. He spoke to kings and crooks. Prostitutes and priests. But what if Jesus showed up today? What might he say to us...and to those making headlines today? Join us each week in April for WHAT WOULD JESUS SAY TO...?

But what if Jesus showed up today?

-April 16-17, Week 3:
What would Jesus say to Caitlyn Jenner?

-April 23-24, Week 4:
What would Jesus say about racism in America?
