Jesus Believes in You – Do You?
Jesus didn’t call the best of the best. He called ordinary people—people who had been told they weren’t smart enough, strong enough, or worthy enough. And yet, he believed in them. And he believes in us, too. But do we? In a world unraveling with injustice—where politicians are paid to keep the guns flowing, where neo-Nazis march openly, where the most vulnerable are under attack—Jesus is still calling disciples to step up, to act, to follow him into the places where love and justice are most needed. The question is: will we believe we have what it takes?

What if God’s kingdom looks nothing like we expected? Join us as we journey through Matthew’s Gospel – where the poor are blessed, the outsiders are welcomed, and the last are first. It’s a story that challenges the status quo – flips power on its head – and invites us to live with courage, compassion, and hope. Between now and Easter, we’ll follow the footsteps of Jesus – the one who shows us that love is the greatest force in the universe – and it’s for everyone.
