Sunday Service: Jesus: The Lost Days

Did you know there were 40 days between Jesus’ resurrection and his ascension? We actually know very little about this window of time, save for a few days at the very beginning and the very end. Over the next six weeks, Bob, David, Bimi, and I will explore what Jesus might have shared with his disciples during this crucial period. We’ll look at how those early followers came to grips with what a risen Christ meant for their lives, the church—and for the rest of the world. This week, I will kick things off by unpacking the Great Commandment, exploring how Jesus equipped his followers to step into this incredible new reality. Join us this Sunday in person or online (live) at 9:30am.

THIS WEEK AT FPCN
 
 
This Sunday:
We will be going through the 40 days that Jesus walked the earth after His Resurrection. What was going through the minds of the disciples? How must they have contemplated Christ’s earlier teachings now that they have the context of this amazing miracle? We only have a few interactions between the Risen Christ and His followers before His ascension. This series is focusing on the rest of those 40 days or what we will call “The Lost Days.”

 

 
Join us in-person or online this Sunday at 9:30am.
