Retreat | Who Is Jesus? // Be Free From Religion (Jesus Nights) @retreatliving | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
At the beginning of 2024, we asked ourselves, "What would it be like to host a night to simply teach about Jesus?" This past Friday, we gathered with our community to explore this idea.
Although we may feel we already know who Jesus is, can we honestly say we've paused to ask the question? Who is Jesus, How did he live, what did He teach, and finally, what does that mean for me? Whether you were raised in religion, or have never heard of Jesus, we wanted to strip back all of the nonsense that has been added to his message. Jesus was not a political figure or a famous TV preacher.
In recent years, Jesus has become someone that we weaponize for our own agendas, whether it be politics, religion, or our deeply held belief systems. We use Jesus to try and control others, instead of sharing his love freely with no agenda. Jesus is first and foremost a person of love.
No matter where we are from, we are all looking for purpose, love, and connection. These deeply held needs are rarely met by the things we find in our lives. What does Jesus say about what we're dealing with in our daily lives? When we hear about Jesus, he's often painted as a glowing and holy figure who is untouchable to us sinners.
The writer N.T. Wright said that when it comes to Jesus, it's easy to be complex and harder to be simple. With our monthly teachings on Jesus, we hope to present His message as intended.
In the book Love Does, Bob Goff shares the idea of friendships with no agenda. That's how we're hoping to approach Jesus Nights. We will gather and teach Jesus, with no agenda.
Join us each month for the Jesus nights teaching here on the Retreat Channel.
Join us in person if you or someone you know is in the South Carolina area!
