John Preparing the Way (Luke 3:1-20)

In part one of this series in the Gospel of Luke, we follow Jesus on his journey toward Jerusalem, where he proclaims the Kingdom of God—a kingdom that stands in stark contrast to the kingdoms of this world. The poor are blessed, the last become first, outsiders are welcomed in, and the humble are exalted. Through parables, miracles, and radical teachings, Jesus shows us what it looks like when God's kingdom breaks into our world—reversing our assumptions about power, wealth, status, and belonging. As we walk with Jesus through Galilee and beyond, we'll discover what it means to live as citizens of God's kingdom, where the forgotten are remembered, the marginalized are brought to the center, and love reigns supreme.
