Introduction

Everything in the Christian faith rises or falls on one event.

Not the teachings of Jesus.

Not the miracles of Jesus.

Not even the cross itself.

It is the resurrection.

If Jesus stayed in the grave, Christianity collapses.

Paul said it plainly in 1 Corinthians 15:

“If Christ has no...

Palm Sunday is one of the most dramatic moments in the life of Jesus.

Theme: https://uppbeat.io/t/northwestern/a-new

The disciples ask Jesus for something many of us have asked for:

“Increase our faith.”

They likely imagined faith like a muscle—something that could be bulked up with a divine spiritual protein shake. More faith, more miracles, more power.

But Jesus gives an unexpected answer.

Introduction

Luke 15 contains some of the most beautiful pictures of God’s heart in all of Scripture.

Jesus tells three stories:

  • A lost sheep
  • A lost coin
  • A lost son

Each story answers a question the religious leaders were asking.

      Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
