Session 10: The Pilate Chronicles
At Passover, Jesus gathered his followers and spelled out a new relational arrangement between God and humankind: “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” But Jesus wasn’t celebratory. He seemed troubled. Initiating this new covenant with God would require sacrifice. What came next would confuse his followers and send them scattering.

Session 9: The One Commandment
Jesus didn’t come to initiate Judaism 2.0. He came to offer something entirely new to the world: a new covenant that would forever change humankind’s relationship with God. And with that new covenant came a new ethic—one that insisted that the greatest choose the back of the line.

Session 8: The New Covenant (Andy Stanley)
The words “unlimited” and “unconditional” make us suspicious. Whether those words describe an insurance policy, cellphone agreement, or meal plan for a college student, we assume unlimited is really limited and unconditional has some conditions. That suspicion extends to our relationship with God. Unconditional love? Unlimited forgiveness? There must be a catch. But what if there isn’t?

Session 7: Leading great (Andy Stanley)
Jesus introduced the most powerful, transformational, and inspirational leadership principle on the planet. Every leader you respect practices it. The leaders you don’t respect, don’t practice it. You can lead without it, but you won’t be a leader worth following unless you embrace it.

Session 6: Nic at Night (Andy Stanley)
Jesus claimed to be greater than the temple. He wielded extraordinary power, but never for himself. What was he up to?

Session 5: Greater indeed! (Andy Stanley)
Something in us is tempted to believe God loves his Law more than his people. We’re tempted to prioritize rules over people. Maybe you left church because somebody prioritized the Bible over your divorced mother or gay brother. But Jesus came to offer us a life greater than keeping religious rules.

Session 4: A new world order
If you aren’t religious or you gave up religion, you probably had good reason to walk away or stay away. You’re a reasonable person, and there are plenty of good reasons to reject religion. But reconsider Jesus. He wasn’t an extension of the old religion. He came to introduce something brand new.

Session 3: Fish Tricks (Andy Stanley)
When you read the Gospels, two things are abundantly clear. Being a sinner doesn’t disqualify you from following Jesus. And being an unbeliever doesn’t disqualify you from following Jesus. So, what does that mean for you?

Session 2: Upside down (Andy Stanley)
“Might makes right” is the default setting for the world. Those with wealth and power write the rules, and they usually
write them to favor themselves. That was true in Jesus’ time as well. But he came to turn everything upside down.

Session 1: For the World - Andy Stanley
Jesus didn’t come to extend an old religion. He didn’t come to just clarify old truths. He didn’t come to just preach sermons and offer wise teachings. From the angel’s announcement to Mary that she would give birth to a son who’s “kingdom would never end,” it was clear: Jesus would do something new for the world.
