This Sunday we look deep into the first of our four "ancient paths" laid out by the early Church in Acts 2 - "They dedicated themselves to the Apostles' teaching." It always has and always will be about Jesus, the Word of God, who gives his life for sinners, revealed to us in scripture and proclaimed boldly. That's how disciples are made and that's how we are formed into a community of evangelists - that is to say, "good news tellers" who are eager to share, "This is what God has done for me..." Let's learn how, together.

Through December, Connection Night will entail a Bible Study based on season one of "The Chosen". The Chosen is a historical drama television series about the life and ministry of Jesus, primarily set in Judea and Galilee in the first century. The series depicts Jesus's life through the eyes of the people who interacted with him, including the apostles and disciples of Jesus, Jewish religious leaders, Roman government and military officials, and ordinary people. The series currently consists of five seasons, with seven seasons being planned. Along with the show, there is a Bible companion study for each season.
Who is this for? Anyone who has or hasn't watched the series. Invite your neighbors and friends!
Where can I watch Season One? Currently available on Amazon Prime, the official Chosen App that can be streamed on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, BYUtv.org, or The Chosen's YouTube Channel
