To kick off 2022 we'll be taking on one of the most powerful enemies in our world... HURRY. Based on the Biblical ideas from John Mark Comer's book by the same title, "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" will teach us to be better apprentices of Jesus by slowing down and learning to walk in HIS footsteps at HIS pace. In this first week we're setting up the problem of Hurry and addressing the core solution.

But it's only the beginning of the story of Jesus! This week we take a look at the upside-down kingdom Jesus came to establish to see Christmas as "A Political Story."
