"Jesus the Savior": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 25, Session 2: Jesus Tells the Parable of the Sons
What Jesus proposed in this passage—no, in fact, commanded—is a fundamentally and wholly different way of looking at outsiders and the unsaved than we are accustomed to and inclined toward. Think of the daily outrage about “the culture” featured in evangelical social media feeds. We are offended, shocked, and often driven to attack by what should be an utterly unsurprising...

“Jesus the Savior”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 25, Session 2—Three Parables
It has been said, in truth, that there are only two types of people: the saved and the lost. That’s it. Just the redeemed and the unredeemed. The forgiven and condemned.

"Jesus the Servant": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 24, Session 4: Jesus Is Transfigured
In the first verse of the transfiguration account that we will consider in this week’s session, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain so they can see His glory. This must have been a fantastic and yet terrifying scene to behold. Many of us would love a chance to climb the mountain and get a glimpse of...

“Jesus the Servant”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 24, Session 4—Jesus Showed His Glory
I remember it well. It was April 1985. Coca-Cola, which had been sagging in soft drink sales, unveiled a product everyone was anxious to try: New Coke. New Coke was new, but it was not good. New Coke bombed, leaving Coca-Cola scrambling to crank out the original cola formula, which it branded as Coca-Cola Classic. Sometimes the original is...
