Jesus on the Outside

During the season of Lent, we consider stories of God meeting people outside. So often, Jesus worked beyond the walls of religion—whether healing, teaching, or having his own spiritual experiences. And it seems this has always been so: in scripture, God is found in the garden, in the wilderness, and in the valley of dry bones. Might God be seeking to meet you outside during this season?

Message line-up:

Paradise and Wilderness

Pastor Scott Austin

As we embark on our Lenten journey through biblical stories from outside the structures of religion, we see that the temptation to replace God happens not only in times of difficulty, but also in times of great ease and comfort.
