Lent Series: The Scandal of Grace
Starting on Ash Wednesday and moving through Easter we will be walking with Jesus through the Gospel of Luke. Luke’s Gospel is often called the Gospel of grace — and for good reason. 

In this series, The Scandal of Grace, we’ll follow Jesus through some of the uniquely Lukan moments that reveal this extravagant mercy. We’ll see a Savior whose compassion interrupts funerals, whose forgiveness restores the outcast, and whose presence ignites hope in the most unexpected places. Luke shows us that grace is not merely a doctrine — it is a Person. Jesus embodies the sheer generosity of God, extending pardon, healing, and welcome to those written off by others. His grace confronts our pride, comforts our wounds, and calls us into a life shaped not by merit, but by mercy. Through these passages, we’ll discover again that God’s grace is far bigger, deeper, and more surprising than we ever imagined.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

A whole lot of training, community, and fun! During our time together, you will have a chance to:

• Find a small group by having breakfast with small group leaders and staff
• Test your knowledge of the four Gospels through a game we are calling "Name That Evangelist."
• Grow in your own personal study of Luke's gospel
• Experience some excellent teaching on how how to read the New Testament with an eye toward Jesus
• Enjoy some time in worship and prayer as a congregation as we gear up for the Spring
• Learn more about our Lenten series and small group study
