Message at 26:00. If you knew nothing of Jesus but paid close attention to many public figures who are outspoken about their faith, what would you think were Jesus’s priorities based on how those public figures conduct themselves? Seeking power with faith and for faith? Pushing faith on the public through legislative action? Certain views of marriage? Would you be surprised to find out that the real Jesus resisted human power and intentionally cautioned others against human systems of power? Would you be surprised to find that Jesus spoke more about the poor by far than he did about most other subjects? What would happen if Christians’ priorities were Jesus’s?

From Series: "Where's Jesus? Finding and Following Jesus When Much of Christianity Doesn't Look Like Him"

Folks feel like they can see Christians in every direction, but they can't necessarily see Jesus in the Christians they find. We're going to have an honest, hopeful series of conversations about rediscovering the Jesus whom so many folks in the first century were thrilled to see and seek with everything.
