Jesus was seen again after His death because in Himself, He is the resurrection and the life, and therefore He is our hope. Our ultimate preparation for whatever we face in our lives is placing our hope in Him."

But if you love that country, then I will tell you about another country, another kingdom. One that will not, one that will not let you down. If our earthly country is one you love so much that you would lay down your life for it, let me tell you of this other country that loves you so much, that her very king laid down His life for you."

    "Not knowing the scriptures and not knowing the power of God condemns us to a sort of withered Christianity – a Christianity that offers no good news and no real hope. If God is no bigger than we are, if God’s purposes are no larger than our own, there really is no hope. But one of the great gifts of genuine faith is that it admits us to the presence of the real God. The God who is finally beyond anything we can imagine and whose goodness, and wisdom, and power are gloriously beyond our reckoning. "

    The Pharisee and Tax Collector: An Issue of Trust - 11:15am Sermon

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2019 18:25


    "Because, in Jesus, we’re not banking on ourselves to be acceptable on our own before God, it means we no longer have to hide our sin from God. Jesus has freed us from the separation that our sin places between us and His Father, which means we’re free to actually be honest with God. We’re free to stand before God, in the midst of our sin and name it and acknowledge it, just like the tax collector did. And one of the wonderful, really paradoxical, mysteries of this freedom, is that as we bring those things before God – our sin and our shame – God not only welcomes us in for the sake of His Son, but He also begins to set us free from the bondage of our sins, to set right in us those things that sin has twisted and confused."

    "There’s an image here of this pilgrim being sent back out from Jerusalem back on his journey again and the blessing that God would go with him. If the God goes with you, that’s the best-case scenario. But this is a potent promise of God that we have that God will be with us. And it’s not just reserved for the heroes of the faith, for Moses and for Joshua, but it’s a promise for us as ordinary believers as we leave this building today that God goes with us. In fact, we have something even better than the Psalmist did. We have the guarantee that Jesus Himself does go with us. That the Spirit of the Living God goes with us."

    “And when completely emptied, destitute, and lost, He, God, the great kinsman redeemer, chose to save her. Brothers and sisters, just the same Jesus Christ is our kinsman redeemer. He alone has the right to take away the spoils and the ruins all of our loss and our pain and the alienation and brokenness of sin. And it is through Christ alone by His sacrifice that our stains were washed clean that he bore our curse upon that cross and His death made satisfaction for us, all so that we could be reconciled to God the Father – by no merit of our own – but because of the mercy of our Lord. And it is in this complete, and life-giving grace that we all do indeed get to live the greatest story ending of all time: life everlasting.”

    "We can see the total, transforming love of Christ that has now encapsulated, and is overflowing out of the 60-year-old, end of his ministry Paul. He isn’t bitter. He isn’t griping about being in prison, or his living conditions, and he’s not even using his apostolic authority in the letter – like he has for most of his ministry. The spirit that’s within Paul as a fellow Christian is just overflowing in his letter: in his grace, in his dealing with these hard issues, in his love for Philemon, in his love for the slave turned brother in Chris, Onesimus. It’s the transcending nature of the Christian life. Remember that Paul wrote in Galatians, 'There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ.'"

    "As sinners, our inclination is not to want to worship and we can find all kinds of rationalizations for not doing it. ‘The weather’s really nice today’, ‘I really had a hard night last night’, ‘You know, the sermon’s probably going to be deadly dull – I saw that Michael Petty was preaching this Sunday’. We can rationalize and rationalize away. And so for us, worship is a discipline. It’s important for all of us to get to the place as Christians where we recognize that we need to worship God – even though we might not feel like it or we might not want to, we need to - because worship is part of God’s therapy for we who are prideful and self-absorbed. We need the therapy."

It’s radical, it’s transformative, it’s powerful, and it’s the only way to salvation, and it’s the only way to God the Father.
