For a few weeks we've been bouncing around in ScripturesNext week we'll settle into something more consistent,- and I've chosen to hike through Paul's letter to the Galatians• but not today–• my talk this morning will be another random meditation- what I will say about this letter,• Paul was not at all pleased with the churches in the region of Galatia◦ he had introduced them to a life in God through Jesus◦ but others had followed Paul with a “distorted gospel”• so the Christian faith was represented by two different forms◦ the distorted version emphasized a deadly legalism◦ Paul's version was a new life in the Spirit of God“Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” (Gal. 3:2-3)- I believe this letter identifies a problem that's prevalent today

A @Christadelphians Video: ### **Video Description:** Join John Martin in this **thought-provoking** Bible talk as he unpacks Jesus' parable of **"The Unforgiving Creditor"** (Matthew 18:21-35). Discover the **wonderful** depth of God's mercy, the danger of withholding forgiveness, and how this teaching applies to our lives today.

Today Joe explores Theosis, a teaching that sometimes doesn’t get enough attention in the West, but arguably is the entire reason God created us. Joe shows you how theosis has been revealed in Scripture and how the Church Fathers tried to wrestle with this amazing concept. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk today about a Christian doctrine that sounds heretical. If I just go around saying, I believe that if I’m holy when I die, I’ll become a God or I’ll become God. Many people’s heresy alarm is just going...

Pastor Allen was a preacher in Small Town, U.S.A. Relaxing at home one evening he settled into his recliner, pushed his reading glasses up to the bridge of his nose, and reached over to his side-table for something to take his mind off of work. He could have picked up one of the magazines lying there, or a novel with a bookmark where he left off, or if all else failed the TV remote. He accidently grabbed his Bible.Normally, when worn out in the evening, all he wanted was a distraction; anything that didn't require exertion. The Bible, however, was “work.” He was never able to read it in a light-hearted way  or for entertainment. The Bible required a serious attitude. One needed to come to it with reverence, humility, and focused attention.His inner voice told him, “Read this.”  So he chose to glance at a couple verses and move on. Without looking for any particular place to begin, he let his Bible fall open wherever it would, only being careful not to land in the Old Testament. Looking down he found himself in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 8. Skipping to the red letters, he began to read and heard Jesus saying,    “I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

In May we completed our trek through the Sermon On the MountSince then, I have not felt a strong direction toward bringing another series- Nancy Lopez, whom I love and trust,• suggested that we go through the Minor Prophets◦ I'm still mulling that over• meanwhile, I've been sharing on Sundays my own random musing from the past week- today I've chosen an odd place to drop into the Scriptures• and it will require some explaining,• but I promise, the point I want to make is important

The way Luke introduces John the Baptist has a familiar ring:“The word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness” (Lk. 3:2)For example: “The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri” or “The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel”- Luke is obviously forging a link between John and previous prophets• Jesus will soon say, John was a prophet “and more than a prophet” (v. 26)◦ John also appears as an eccentric character• we usually focus on John's wardrobe and diet◦ but his message was edgy too – “fire and brimstone”“He said to the crowds . . . ‘You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? . . . . His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.' So with many other exhortations he preached the good news to the people.” (Lk. 3:17-18)

This sermon focuses on forgiveness, grace, and the importance of letting go of grievances within the church community. Todd Corey emphasizes that forgiveness is a process that requires the Holy Spirit's help and highlights how unforgiveness keeps us imprisoned in past hurts. He draws parallels between God's unconditional forgiveness of us and how we should forgive others, even when it's difficult. The sermon also addresses fathers, describing them as the "tip of the spear" in protecting their families and leading them spiritually.Why do you think it's often so difficult for us to forgive others?How does understanding God's grace toward us help us extend forgiveness to others?The pastor mentioned that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting. How can we forgive while still acknowledging the reality of past hurts?What role does the Holy Spirit play in our ability to forgive?How can we cultivate peace in our relationships, especially when dealing with conflict?What does it mean practically to let "the peace of Christ rule in your hearts"?The sermon discusses the importance of fathers being spiritual warriors. What does this look like in today's world?How does the story of the thief on the cross demonstrate God's grace?Support the show

1 Corinthians 8:1-6  It's not one of my favorites, but this time something happened- it was like I saw a glint of light sparkle from one of the verses• so I started digging at it◦ I took my investigation as far as I could,◦ but when that wasn't enough, I consulted a biblical scholar• in a few minutes I'll share with you what I discovered,- but first, we'll take a brief look at this passage 

What is your world view? How do you interpret and make sense of how the world operates? How do you look at life and circumstances that come your way? We all have one – a perspective about the world – a world view. But what is the world view of the Bible believing Christian? How does a vital connection with the God of heaven influence our assessment of and interaction with the world around us?

 Reading the stories of Jesus,Have you ever wished you could hear the tone of his voice?- for instance, I imagine a note of disappointment or sadness when says,“Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip?”• Philip was one of the first disciples to follow Jesus◦ so he's traveled with him as long or longer than the others◦ if anyone should know Jesus, it's Philip• Jesus has completed his work, and his time with his disciples is winding down◦ now, near the end, Philip doesn't know Jesus as well as the Lord desired- bear with me as I read through statements Jesus made re: himself“I am the bread of life” (Jn. 6:35)“I am the light of the world” (Jn. 8:12)“You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world” (Jn. 8:23)“I am the good shepherd” (Jn. 10:11)“I am the Son of God” (Jn. 10:36)“I am the resurrection and the life” (Jn. 11:25)“You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am” (Jn. 13:13)In an ultimate statement regarding his person, “Truly . . . before Abraham was, I am” (Jn. 8:58)And in this same conversation: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life”In a few minutes Jesus will say, “I am the true vine” (Jn. 15:1)• the cumulative effect of these self-revealing statements,◦ should have convinced Philip he's seen the Father in Jesus• one insight we can draw from this conversation:◦ Jesus wants to be known by his followers,◦ and in knowing him, he wants us to know God, his Father

For some theologians and many believers,Paul's letter to the Romans is the heart of the Christian faith- but what they see as the central message isn't my favorite part• chapter 8 and this chapter speak directly to our need• that is, our connection to God and life in the Spirit◦ then chapter 14, where we learn what living our faith looks like in practice- a natural division occurred in churches of the Roman Empire• the split occurred along both ethnic and cultural lines◦ they consisted of both Jewish and Gentile members◦ Paul was clear re: his ministry, to Jews first and also to Gentiles• in some churches, this became a problem – Galatians◦ there is a hint of that same tension here (and in Colossians)◦ only it has a slightly different look – based on practice

In today's devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef exhorts us to stand with Paul and preach Christ.If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, you can learn more in Dr. Michael Youssef's sermon We Preach Christ: WATCH NOW | LISTEN NOW

Do you have a favorite psalm; for instance, Psalm 23?Whether one psalm speaks to me and another one doesn't,- depends a lot on my mood at the time I read them• the Psalms are moody, and some of them match my mood perfectly• whenever a psalm speaks to me, it's effect is palpable◦ it not only gives me something to think about,◦ but also stirs up significant feelings- the Psalms speak to our frustrations, conflicts, and heartaches• there are psalms that encourage and console• others give us wise counsel and guidance• more than once, a psalm has met me in my grief• many psalms are reminders that God is with us

Jesus crossed an international border looking for restMatthew says, he “went away” and “withdrew”- he needed space where he was free from the desperate crowds• care givers have to be careful to care for themselves• otherwise burn out can take out a care giver◦ during this brief respite, Jesus and disciples were off the clock- last thing they wanted was to hear the cry of a Gentile woman• Jesus buries his face in a newspaper or checks his cell phone◦ seeing that he ignores her, she begins pestering his disciples◦ and it worked – in frustration they went to Jesus“Send her away, for she is crying out after us”• they broke but not because they were more merciful than JesusHelmut Thielicke, “They can't take the woman's misery. The woman clearly feels that too, otherwise she would have turned to the weary and therefore more helpful disciples. She realizes, however, that they are not merciful in yielding to her cry for help. They just have weak nerves.”◦ so far, she has been rejected and not helped

My grandchildren have been helping me with social media, by interpreting a slew of new acronymsAcronyms are abbreviations for phrases, titles, or names, using only the first letters of each word- for instance, USA, BTW, or RFK• acronyms look strange, initially◦ a popular political insult is RINO: Republican In Name Only• this came to mind when reading a quote by Justin Martyr◦ a first century philosopher who became a Christian- he quoted the part of Jesus' Sermon we've been going over (Mt. 7:21-27) Justin Martyr, “. . . let those who are not found living as He taught, be understood to be no Christians, even though they profess with the lip the precepts of Christ; for not those who make profession, but those who do the works, shall be saved . . . . And as to those who are not living pursuant to these His teachings . . . are. . . “Christians only in name”• Jesus continues with his theme from last week"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"◦ and now he concludes the Sermon with a parable

We're nearing the end of Jesus' SermonI think we must admit, there have been surprises along the way- but it has been a journey of wonder, skirting the edges of the kingdom of God• at the same time, the Lord has exposed us, to truth that is deep and difficult• so, what does Jesus want to say to us this morning?- though he's never one to sugarcoat the hard things, Jesus is being rather blunt, don't you think?• maybe what we hear is a tone of voice that offends◦ we ask, Where is God's compassion and mercy?• if Jesus must deliver this truth, couldn't he at least be polite?◦ but is there a polite way to shout, “The building's on fire”? or "Run for your lives"?◦ when Jesus is direct and rough, even then he loves us

Before we explore what Jesus is saying in these verses,There are three issues that need to be addressedFirst:- belonging to a church family can sometimes be devastating• I've met people whose first real family was their church◦ it became their lifeline, until one day it fractured◦ an angry and hostile faction split the church• those on sidelines were so disillusioned, and so hurt,◦ they never ventured into another church◦ their church became their second destructive and dysfunctional family- a similar sadness occurs when we discover a particular religious leader's true colors,• when the mask comes off and the real person is exposed◦ maybe they were with us during a difficult time,◦ maybe they quoted scripture and prayed with usbut now we see them for what they are

Every Easter, until COVID, my dad would host a Sunrise Service(First at the Pacific Amphitheater and later the Verizon Amphitheater)And most every year he would tell the same story; this one about Mary Magdalene  - you might expect people to say, “Oh no, not this story again,”     ~ but instead it was, “Oh! This is one of my favorite sermons”    ~ about forty years ago, a Sunrise Service was held at San Clemente High SchoolI went because I heard Eddie Piorek was going to speakHe also told the story of Mary Magdalene  - I'm don't intend to recover or carry on a tradition today    ~ but last week—Palm Sunday—we read the story about another Mary,the one who poured perfume on Jesus' feet    ~ it felt right to spend a moment with the Mary in today's story,who lost Jesus and then found found himJohn, in fact, highlights three Marys who appear in connection with Jesus' death  Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, who prepared Jesus for his burial (Jn. 12:7)  Mary Magdalene, who stood by the cross and later came to the tomb,  And Mary the mother of Jesus

John 12:1-8INTRO: I know this is Palm Sunday and I read the wrong storyHowever, this is like an introduction to this big occasion, because   Jesus came to stay in the home of his friends the day before his grand entrance   - by the time he reached Bethany, his ministry was winding down    ~ when we read to the end of this chapter,          We come to the end of Jesus' service to the crowds (in John's Gospel)    ~ they will hear nothing more from him, personally  - in fact, this important detail of limited opportunity is highlighted in this chapterI wonder how long Mary had been wanting to bless Jesus in this way  - she not have been sure she'd ever have the opportunity    ~ but here he was, right there in her home         if she chickened out now, would she have a second chance?    ~ turns out, she wouldn't! it was now or never  - later on, Jesus will talk about missed opportunities — vv. 35-36 & 46

You may hear something today you haven't heard beforeSo I'm going to try to make this as clear as possible- we need to consider the larger context that surrounds and informs verses 12-14• not only the context of this chapter, but in Jesus' entire Sermon- the first big idea is this:• the key to interpreting these verses is love• it may not look like it at first, so we jump to other verses to shed light on these◦ but those similarities turn out to be coincidence and not real connections◦ if we stay with the themes of the Sermon, we will see how these verses fit Three times in Matthew we find the phrase, “the Law and the Prophets”- two of those times occur here in the Sermon• in one other place he says “the Prophets and the Law” -- reversing the order◦ there Jesus is referring to John the Baptist's ministry, and he said,"For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John" (Mt. 11:13)

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened Matthew 7:7-8Intro: Before we explore what God has for us in these verses,We need to address a misconception about what Jesus is promising- reading these verses closely, something piqued my curiosity• in verse 7 Jesus encourages us to ask, seek, and knock• then verse 8 is a virtual repetition of verse 7, only it's more like a guarantee◦ is is as though Jesus is saying, “Do this! You'll see that it works”- then–as if that were not enough–Jesus adds an illustration• we'll come to that in a moment, but the point is we can count on God's favorable response• why does Jesus make this effort to convince us to go to the Father to ask, seek, and knock?
