Press, don't pass, on the pressure to live by faith
25/08/2024 Duração: 22minOur age pressures us simultaneously to be both filled with faith and to turn away from faith. We aren't going to get away from that pressure.

Be Better Built
07/05/2023 Duração: 23minThere are a number of practical reasons to be part of a local congregation. It is frequently difficult to be part of congregation and go through the experiences, on a regular basis, that will really form us into God's people. But Jesus was crushed so that even if we are hard pressed, we will never be crushed and destroyed. He is a foundation so we are better built. 1 Peter 2:4-10

A new person into a new world
23/04/2023 Duração: 21minThere are so many good things in our world, but there is plenty too that we'd like to be rescued from. There is an offer to make us new people in this world; and there is an offer to give us a new world. But Christian salvation offers us salvation as a new person into a new world. It's better than we could imagine. Acts 2:32-41

First steps: You can pass the test
17/04/2023 Duração: 24minAfter the disciples thought they saw Jesus dead and risen, the whole thing almost came to a halt for various reasons. They were stuck in the mess of their time. They were changed, and they went forward with fresh confidence and boldness. Will we get past all the mess of our time, or we will be stuck for our own reasons? Peter assures we can receive the mark of "genuine". We can pass the test. 1 Peter 1:3--9

He lives!
10/04/2023 Duração: 20minEverything in life has results and consequences. Some we like, some we don't. If we go to school, we can probably get a job and make a living.

John 20:1-18

Come and eat
06/04/2023 Duração: 16minThe struggle with evil, with pain, with difficulty, with challenge is real. We sit and wait for deliverance, freedom, and liberation. While we sit, we eat.

You can live in the light. You can live in the truth.
19/03/2023 Duração: 22minEven the Bible does not always seem to tell the truth or the facts. Did Jesus tell the truth? There is a lot that we need to investigate and search out.

Questions give clarity to avoid a crisis
12/03/2023 Duração: 24minLife is filled with tough questions and difficult, dangerous situations. God provided a tabernacle for the people to provide security and safety for their difficult journey.

Stop, sin.

We might not feel good. He will fill us with good.
19/02/2023 Duração: 22minI marvel that the woman talked to Jesus about so many problems in her life and still went away saying, Come and see. That's not how we tend to feel. Jesus might not always make us feel good. But he will give us something different than we can get anywhere else. The gospel will fill us up, even if we don't always like the fact that we need it. John 4:1-26
-
Not just a better you, a different you
12/02/2023 Duração: 24minReligious people often have the impression and give the impression that God wants better people. It's true Jesus teaches basic principles and truths to live better lives. That isn't the main thing. Chiefly, Jesus wants us to have a new life. A different life. John 3:1-17

Only Jesus gathers people to God
05/02/2023 Duração: 22minThe temple was established by God as a way to get near God. Jesus came in and rejected the conveniences it offered in an attempt to help people get God's gifts. None of it could get people close to the holy, consuming God. What are we relying on to get us close to God? Do we have anything better to keep us in the presence of the holy, good God? Jesus offers a better temple in John 2:13-22.

29/01/2023 Duração: 24minThis new world that Jesus gives us is not only or primarily a world of rules, codes of conduct, regulations, and ways to live a better life. It is first and foremost a world of grace, where God in Jesus pours out his good gifts to us to cover over our embarrassment, shame, and disgrace. We see that wonderfully at Cana in a wedding. John 2:1-11
