FOCUS: “Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws” by Adam Hamilton
As part of a 40-day church-wide emphasis during Lent, we will start the Lenten Group Study on Feb 11 at 7 pm (Wednesday session) and Feb 12 at 10:30 am (Thursday session), using the book “Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws” by Adam Hamilton. You may join in person or online on Wednesday or Thursday.
From Birth to Resurrection in the Gospel of Luke
Jesus came to lift up the lowly. Throughout his ministry to his final days on the road to the cross, we find stories of his relationships with ordinary, flawed, and unexpected people. He met, dined, and traveled with people who were not perfect. Many of them were struggling, some were outsiders or even outlaws. Whoever they were, from those he healed to the outlaws with him at his crucifixion, Jesus brought the good news of God’s kingdom to those who most needed to hear it.
In Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws, pastor Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke’s stories we find Jesus’ care and compassion for all as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus’ concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today.

1. Lifting Up the Lowly
2. Simon, Do You See This Woman?
3. Parables from the Underside
