Jesus had a vision; one of peace, mercy, justice, hope, and most importantly, change. Today’s Christianity, at least the version that gets the most press, is different. It’s been Americanized –  preyed upon by Western individualism, bad politics, racism, and a backwash of spiritual segregation that have leaked into its understanding of what Jesus seemed to want most.

But when His teachings are repaired to their ancient Jewish roots, they come alive with thoughts and ideas that anyone in our culture might find compelling, believer or not.

If nothing else, it’s fascinating stuff.

Let’s Talk!

Next month, I’ll be hosting a weekly online discussion (4 weeks) on the teachings of Jesus, removing modern cultural influences and doing my best to teach these as Jesus’ audience would have understood them. There won’t be any attempts at proseltyzation, guilt, or pressure; the intent here is merely to send you away with a deeper understanding of what this guy was talking about, and why it didn’t sit well with the God-followers of His day.

While the last thing we all need is another online get-together, I’m super thankful for this blog’s audience, and would love an opportunity to explore the mind of Jesus more deeply with you.

If you’re interested, or if you have any questions, Fill out the form below and I’ll contact you ASAP. Or, if it’s easier, comment via this post, or via Facebook / IM (friend me if we’re not connected).

Time and dates TBD based on everyone’s availability.

About me: I’m a 50-something dad and husband currently living in Denver, Colorado. I have a master’s degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, and was fortunate to spend a year of my studies at Denver Seminary.

I hope you can join me.

Peace,

Mark
