Online Course: Apprenticeship
When we talk about apprenticeship, we are talking about becoming students of the rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth. In regards to the class, we will spend four weeks exploring what that looks like. The weeks will be split up to talk about Jesus’ invitation to “follow me,” what it means to be with Jesus, what it looks like to become like Jesus, and finally, doing what Jesus did. I’m excited to focus our attention on Jesus, his life, and his teachings on how to live in and from the kingdom of God, right now.

John Wesley (1703-1791) founded Methodism. A prolific writer, he printed several volumes of his sermons during his lifetime. The published sermons either were rewritten from ones that he had preached or were written specifically for print.
