Not THAT Kind of Christian: Christianity and Other Religions or No Religion

We all know who THAT kind of Christian is.

We see self-professing Christians in America who are attempting to use authoritarian politics to force others to live according to their religion. They do not seem to value diversity. They may see themselves as society’s “moral police,” looking down on others who do not fit their description of the nuclear family, may seem to be anti-science, and appear to value only one issue, abortion.

While it may be difficult for many to see Jesus in this type of Christianity, during this series, we will describe what we believe it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ in 2022 America. Every week, we will address theological questions and contemporary issues that affect our everyday lives.

Good News for Religious Outsiders

 

Most of us at some point have probably felt like an outsider, just a number, a nobody.

The Gospel of Luke is known as the gospel to the marginalized, people who were outcasts and treated as unimportant.

While teaching in his hometown of Nazareth, Jesus announces His mission to preach good news to the poor, freedom to the prisoners, recovery of sight to the blind, set the oppressed free, and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Then Luke shows us what that means for you and me.

If you feel like a nobody, Jesus has good news for you. And in a world where many people feel like nobodies, God wants to announce good news to them through you.

This series was inspired by Adam Hamilton’s The Gospel of the Nobodies.
