Wayfarers Christian Church is based in Memphis, TN. We are a church for a post-Christian culture hoping to educate listeners about Christianity that is probably different than what you grew up hearing. On Thursday at 6pm CST we drop new episodes on different ideas from the Bible, hoping to provide healthy conversations about faith and what that means for our lives.

It has been used to display the brokenness that Christ endured and how important that is for our salvation. Today, Noah calls us to a deeper truth hidden in this passage that Peter expounds on in his first epistle. It's a sermon that cuts deep into the Christian responsibility to suffer well.

    We asked Joseph Jenkins, our music minister at Wayfarers, to teach this month's lesson. Joseph compiled many different Bible verses, some in Genesis 1, Exodus 3, Isaiah 6, 1 Peter 1, Acts 2 and a few beside, to walk through the idea of God being both holy and generous. It's a great survey with a lot of scripture readings so get out your Bible and listen closely to this message.

Chapter 18 dives into the sociopolitical landscape during ancient Israel's time by looking at the area of Cush and how it was seen as a point of hope for the people of Israel who hoped to form an alliance with Cush. Nick breaks down what this passage meant to him and how it can matter even today, in our current walk with God.

    Jacob Dooley is back to preach, and this time he's preaching from the book of Isaiah, continuing our sermon series throughout this rich book. Jacob speaks to the current trauma our city has endured and how the Israelite's received this precious prophecy of Immanuel during a time when their allegiance to God was at an all time low, and evil was rampant and cried out for justice to be served. It's a powerful sermon for helping us uncover the hidden joy of God's grace.

    Back in November, we hosted a spiritual formation night with one of our members, Dante Baker, leading the event. It was super well received, so much so that we were able to get a recording of it put together for anyone that wants to listen. As this is part of our spiritual formation night at our church, we usually don't record these because they require so much participation from the audience and we feel its best to be in the room and get to participate physically with us as a church for these nights. Even so, we are overjoyed this one has become so popular and we hope that even if you can't participate in the action steps Dante lays out, you can get a taste of the beautiful heart that Dante has for God.

Today Nick Griffin preaches on the subject of hope, which is the first of the four candles lit. Strap in! Advent is not for the faint of heart. But it might just give you some hope in these trying times.

    Jars of Clay Filled With Resurrection - Sunday Sermon 10-16-22 (Noah Randolph)

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 23, 2022 34:50


    This is a sermon Noah preached at Wayfarers a week prior to this recording. That sermon unfortunately was not recorded (Noah's fault lol). Thankfully, Noah was given the opportunity to preach the sermon a second time at Oak Lane Christian Church and that was recorded. Noah preaches on a hallmark passage of the nineties and early two thousands, from the famous "jars of clay" passage in 2 Corinthians 4. Noah condenses a lot of his recent study on the subject of resurrection into this sermon and provides a lot of key information about the life of Paul the Apostle. It's a wonderful exploration of how resurrection doesn't just have to be a future event we await after death, but can be something transformative in our lives today. You don't want to miss this powerful point and we hope it brings you closer in your walk with Jesus.
