New Life Church in Cupertino
Lent Talking Point - Week #2
It can be hard to avoid talking about religion in church, but it can be rather easy to avoid politics in church. However, when we look at the life of Jesus, He entered a complicated political situation with very different sides having very different agendas. The unity and diversity of the early church shocked and intrigued the ancient world. Our modern version of church should shock and intrigue people as well if we stick to Jesus’ talking points. Join us for this season and series through Easter.
