Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate.

He both thrived and achieved his purpose on earth despite hostility, and so can we!
In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming.

Life as a Christian can be quite a journey, full of ups and downs, especially when it comes to our friendships, handling judgment, navigating our words, and confronting our fears. Together, we’ll dive into what it truly means to cultivate friendships built on the foundation of Christ, recognize and steer clear of the legalism that can steal our joy, understand the importance of our words, and discover how God’s perfect love empowers us to face our fears. It’s not about striving for perfection; it’s about drawing closer to Jesus and embracing the person He’s calling you to become.
