  • The Seven Deadly Sins #1 ENVY Genesis 4:1-16

    27/02/2012 Duração: 30min

    Envy doesn't feel good at all. It's easy to see other people's envy, but aren't most of us tempted to get bitter when others have it better? It turns out that Envy is not just a cute phrase used in commercials, it is one of the deepest rooted sins in the human heart. It is more than coincidence that the very first sin recorded in the bible after the fall of Adam and Eve is the birth of Envy captured in the story of Cain and Abel. Join us for this tough but crucial topic. We start first with the classic movie Amadeus, then turn to scripture and some key insights for how to deal with the way Envy makes us absolutely miserable.

  • Nudge 6 - The Smell Test and the Woman with the Alabaster Jar - Luke 7:29-50

    13/02/2012 Duração: 27min

    Do you ever go by the smell test - when something just smells wrong, seems fishy, but you dont know why? It is the one time when listening to your gut can pay off. In this installment of the Nudge Series we look at the amazing gift of smell, and how we can use the spiritual smell test in our lives. We end with the question - when you come into a room - can people smell Jesus on you ? We find out how it can be so!

  • Nudge 3 - The Gift of Taste - The Spice of Life - Song of Solomon 4:9-16

    23/01/2012 Duração: 24min

    The Song of Songs has some awfully sensual langauge in it. Spicy Language. In fact spices are mentioned over 40 times across 16 books of the Old and New Testament. Jesus himself enjoys giving sensual experiences to people. What is going on here? Is there a whole side of the bible we have been missing? What about the Cross? It turns out that after the Cross, one of the primary images of the scriptures is the Table. Come join us as we learn how to live in the space between the Cross and the Table - as people able to delight in physical senses because we first delight in the giver of all good gifts!

  • Nudge 2 - The Gift of Listening - The Sower, the Soil, and the Seeds - Mark 4:1-23

    16/01/2012 Duração: 28min

    What does Jesus mean when he says "He who has ears - let him hear?" Why does the bible talk so much about listening for God? It was God's idea to give us the gift of physical hearing in this physical world. It turns out that the kind of sonic environment God designed and intended for our emotional and spiritual well-being included a lot more silence than most of us are experiencing today. In this interesting study we explore the famous parable of the sower, the soil and the seeds and think about what it means to listen to God, listen to other people and how to tell others about Jesus in a way they can hear it.

  • Nudge 1 - Awakening each other to the God who is already there - Matthew 16:1-17

    08/01/2012 Duração: 21min

    How is it that something can be right in front of our face and we don't even see it? If I had been there to see Jesus when he was walking the earth - would I have noticed, or totally missed it? I don't want to miss what God is doing in the world all around me here and now. It turns out that God has given us two books - the book of Scripture and the book of Nature - to help us pay attention to what is really important. This world is full of sign posts and wonders - if we only have eyes to see... The video referenced in this sermon is http://vimeo.com/32071937.

  • Advent #4 Waiting Like Mary Luke 1:26-56

    19/12/2011 Duração: 26min

    No matter how hard we try to avoid it, we are going to wait. The question is not whether we are going to wait but how we are going to wait. Mary teaches a way to wait that redeems the time and frames our life and our waiting in the big story of the redemption of the universe!

  • Advent #2 John the Baptist - Luke 3:1-18

    05/12/2011 Duração: 30min

    Recent neuroscience research indicates there is far more going on inside us then we realize. This is why it is so hard to change our selves - we don't even have access to some of the things that are broken in us - but God does. John the Baptist shows a way to live that opens us up to God's work deep beneath the surface of our lives. It is also a way to prepare for Christmas, it is the way of life that Advent is all about - Preparing and Turning to God. See http://www.southridgeworship.com/examen.htm for the spiritual discipline discussed in the Podcast as the perfect way to prepare for Christmas.

  • Mountains Into Molehills - a song for our NUDGE sermon series from our SouthRIdge community starting 1/8/12

    23/11/2011 Duração: 04min

    LYRICS Why do we tear down everything we cant explain? Break it all to pieces till it all looks the same We reduce mighty men, honest men of great deeds To a pocket full of unmet needs. CHORUS: Somebody tell me why we turn Mountains into Molehills we turn Mountains into Molehills we turn Mountains into Molehills Better change them before they change you Why do we tear down everything we cant explain ? Does it cause us that much pain? Who stole our wonder for this wild world - who stole our eyes? There's bigger things here than you and me - I 'll take scary reality over comfy little lies CHORUS We've close all the windows that face towards heaven Locked all the doors against unexpected answers But lately I've been thinking about the things we tossed in the name of reason - you can't last long in a sealed room Oh God, Somebody, -get me out of this tomb Take me to the mountains Take me to the mountains Take me too

    21/11/2011 Duração: 30min

  • How to read the OT Wisdom Literature - Ecclesiastes 1:1-2:2:11 The Blunt Honesty of an Athiest - and then some

    13/11/2011 Duração: 28min

    Does life ever seem meaningless to you? Or, have you made some bad decisions, or are you facing some hard choices? In each of these cases what we need is wisdom - godly wisdom... and it can be found the section of the bible known as the books of wisdom. Job,Proverbs,Ecclesiastes are known as the books of wisdom and together with Psalms and The Song of Solomon are also known as the books of Poetry. Each of these five books gives a different type of wisdom that we desperately need to hear. Today we look first at a guiding principles for understanding each of these books, then apply this approach to the first two chapters of the book of Ecclesiastes. It turns out that in the very place that seems so hopeless - a man crying out "Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless" - true hope can be found!

  • How to read the Epistles - Philippians 4:10-20

    07/11/2011 Duração: 22min

    Can you really be content in all circumstances? Why does Paul say things that seem harsh ? Have you ever been inspired to read a book of the bible based on a great quote you saw, only to find there was a lot of other stuff in the book that seemed not so great? Was Paul grumpy in some of his comments to the Philippians? All of these questions turn around how we interpret the Epistles - the letters of Paul. Reading the Epistles is like reading someone else's mail and so we really need to understand the context if we are going to get what the author is trying to say. Today we look at Paul's famous verses about being content in all circumstances. We start by realizing that this was a letter written on a specific occasion - Paul is writing a thank you note to good friends for a gift they gave him. We end by looking at the secret of Paul's contentment. This recording starts several minutes into the sermon.

  • How to read the Gospels - Luke 19:1-27

    30/10/2011 Duração: 25min

    If Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God, then the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are a crucial and logical starting point for our first readings in the bible. The gospels contain both the story of Jesus' life and his teachings. It turns out the Jesus of the gospels is much more startling than the Jesus of American imagination. We illustrate two practical tools for reading the gospels and then apply them to the section of Luke's gospel that gives us both an example of narrative (Jesus exeperience with Zaccheus) and example of Jesus' teaching (The parable of the Minas).

  • How to read the Bible - using the lens of God's generosity - Deuteronomy 14:22-29

    24/10/2011 Duração: 23min

    Like reading a book with a pair of glasses, we all read the bible through our presuppositions, through the conclusions we have before we even start to read it. Some glasses distort what we read while others correct a defect in us so we can actually see what is there. It turns out that when we realize that God's primary characteristic is generosity we begin to see both the bible and our selves in focus.

  • How to read Old Testament Narratives - Genesis 37:12-36, 50:15-21

    26/09/2011 Duração: 29min

This week we look particularly at how to read Old Testament narratives as they were intended. Is so doing, we discover an amazing insight into how to think about our own family history and how to live within it
