Renewal Church Denver

As God's people, we may be different and unique, but God want each and every one of us to participate in His church. We discuss how these differences don't make us disconnected and how our identity is not solely formed in isolation but in community.

Paul reminds Christians that the Gospel of Jesus has broken down human barriers and united us all in Him. Because of this, we who were once resident aliens and strangers are now citizens of God's Kingdom and Members of His family. We explore what responsibilities this comes with as we share our life together.

As we transition to discussing the way the Gospel impacts not only us as individuals but as a community, we reflect on Paul's admonition to be "of one mind." We discuss why it is so important that the Church shares it's target that it is aiming for, what room there is for difference in thought and opinion, and how we come together once a direction has been taken.

Paul says that from birth, we were dead. How can that be so, and how does Jesus make us alive? We explore true life in Jesus, things that might threaten that life, and how we can abide in life.

Paul claims that in light of the Gospel, "No one can boast before God." In exploring what Paul means, we see that true humility comes from true honesty, and we explore what humility looks like and what it doesn't look like.

We open this series looking at the person of Paul. Paul, who was a fast riser in the Jewish community encounters Jesus and comes to the determination that all his past glory and honor was nothing compared to the great gift He had in Jesus. We look at Paul's quest for "righteousness" finds it's answer not in climbing up to God through His works, but through Jesus's grace in coming down for us.

We are promised forgiveness "through his name," that is, through the name of Jesus. But what does Jesus even mean, and why is his name so powerful? It's because in a world where nothing else can save, Jesus is the one and only.

Above Jesus's head, they charged him as "King of the Jews." But they didn't seem to want him as their king. From the first time Jesus was pronounced the king of the Jews to the very end, the very people he was given to as a king rejected him. In reflecting on Good Friday, we see that whether we want a king or not, Jesus is king. And even if he's the kind of we want, he's the very king we need.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted "Hosana to the Son of David." The name, Son of David, was not just a nice reference to Jesus's family line, but rather a declaration of who Jesus is and the what promises that he fulfills. In being the Son of David, Jesus promises to be a king who will reign forever. Being a part of His household, we, like David, ask God to make us people after His own heart.

As we finish the book of Ruth, we look back at Naomi's journey. In seeing the redemption at the end, we have a better view of her struggles earlier in the story where she couldn't see God's care for her. In doing so, we see God's working of redemption in our lives even in the midst of suffering.

In this big moment in the story, Boaz makes a public, clear, and costly commitment to take Ruth as his wife. In doing so, he gives us a picture of Jesus's commitment to His Church and our responsive commitment to Him.

We zoom out in the story to reflect on God's work in the book of Ruth. Remarkably, God's actions haven't been mentioned, but He clearly is moving things along to bring Naomi and Ruth to a place of redemption. We explore God's work through His created world and how he works in the ordinary aspects of life and the seemingly ordinary gifts of His Word and Sacraments. In seeing this, we see how God uses even ordinary people like us to work out his extraordinary purposes.

In a surprising sequence, Naomi sends Ruth on a mission to Boaz to ask him to redeem her. In doing so, Ruth demonstrates a level of faith and is rewarded for such, and Boaz shows a willingness to follow God's order above his own desires. These give us room to reflect on Jesus, and how our hope in him will not put us to shame and frees us to do things his way.

In this section of Ruth, we're introduced to the most important word of the story, "Redeemer." This one word changes the whole story from a nice one about a man helping some women in need to God making things right. In doing so, he shows us how he'll redeem his people through Jesus and how he redeems even the hardest challenges we face.
