We’ll be taking a slow journey and a deep dive into this amazing letter over the coming months. This letter has much to say about how we can often feel out of place in our own world as followers of Jesus. That’s normal. (At least, it should be!) But God is still in control.
Each week individually will stand on its own, so if you missed any of the series, don’t let that stop you from jumping in at at any time. We’ll take a few occasional breaks to cover other topics – like Christmas! But there is so much depth and a lot of relevance to our times in this book, so we’re going to work through it slowly and deliberately for a while. Here’s our first few weeks:
