Redeem the Commute is not just about courses – it’s about being part of a community of people being challenged to live differently by following Jesus. We posted fresh daily challenges from 2012 to 2016 that followed a daily and weekly rhythm:
Mondays: A New Idea
Tuesdays: Study It
Wednesdays: Change our Thinking
Thursdays: Act on It
Fridays: Reflect on It
Saturdays: Rest
Sundays: Community
Start by checking out the daily challenge, and then invite someone else to join you. When you’ve been meeting in a group for a little while, register your group here. You can also discuss the daily challenge here.

We are in a series called, “The Night that Changed Everything.” We’re looking at the significance of Christmas, a night that changed much more than most of us imagine. We’ll see its impact on five segments of society:
The Night That Changed the Religious
The Night That Changed the Powerful
The Night That Changed the Poor
The Night That Changed You
The Night That Changed the Wise
This is our final week, when we look at how Jesus’ birth changed the wise. As you might have guessed, we’ll look at the story of the Magi or wise men who visited Jesus. They are unexpected worshippers of Jesus. We already explored how the shepherds were unusual, but at least they were local. The Magi travelled a long way, and they were highly educated astrologers.
They are the last people you’d expect to be worshipping a baby, but here they are. They are important for us to consider, because even today there are those who say they are too smart to believe in Jesus, or any religion. We’ll explore that this week.
Question: Describe a wise person. How do you recognize one?
