We live in a world of constant distraction — everyone wants our attention. How then do we listen to and be with God in such a world? What can we learn from Jesus' life and teachings for a time such as this? This Sunday we will explore Jesus' life and teaching and what they might have to say about life in this cultural moment. (Guest speaker Ryan Lui)
