Jesus' Values to Work: Red Letter Christianity 2","description":"

We hear about Jesus' invitation to follow him throughout our lives. But what does this \"great proposal\" really mean? What does it mean to actually follow Jesus in the way he calls us to do? The institution of the Church we have have created is most likely quite different from the path Jesus had in mind when he told Peter he would build his Church \"on this rock.\"

In this course, Larry Stoess takes us on a journey of of imaging how to put the values of Jesus' to work in our communities so that we can truly follow him, living and loving like he taught us to in our neighborhoods and communities. Larry calls us to enter into the mystery of the kingdom of God, into which Jesus invites us.

His video lectures include:

Jesus' Vision
The Kingdom of God
Jesus' Mission Strategy: the Church
The Great Proposal

This course is ideal for those who want to engage with Jesus' values in new and deeper ways, in order to more authentically follow him with others to create communities reflective of the kingdom of God.
