following Jesus when the world feels like it's coming apart
The world can feel unsteady. In a time when so much seems to divide us, exhaust us, and pull us apart, what can we hold onto? In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus keeps offering an answer that is both harder and more hopeful than we might expect: grace.
In Hold Fast, we will explore four of Jesus’ most challenging parables – stories about forgiveness, generosity, repentance, power, and the surprising things that hold a community together. Jesus’ vision of grace doesn’t always feel fair or reasonable. It can offend our sense of justice, ask us to change course, and challenge the ways we use power. But perhaps that’s exactly why we need it.
As we begin a new season together, we’ll ask what it means to hold fast to the things that matter most when everything else feels uncertain – and discover that the grace of God may be stronger than we imagine.
