The theme for the week

“EVEN IF...”

“Crowds, Bullies, and Blind Men ”

This is a powerful three-session study focusing on Luke 18:35-19:10, covering Jesus' journey through Jericho on the way to the Cross. The study and passage challenge us with this question: Will I follow Jesus even if He isn’t what I thought He was, even if He costs me everything I hold dear, and even if He costs me everything I know? This passage in the Gospel explains the power of Jesus through the main players: Jesus, the crowd, Zacchaeus, and the blind beggar Bartimaeus.
