Tragedy Doesn't Ruin Us (Ecclesiastes 3) || John Onwuchekwa

There are days when it feels like our faith just isn't working...

A friend once said life wouldn't be so hard if we didn't expect it to be so easy..

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“To me there is in happiness an element of self-forgetfulness. You lose yourself in something outside yourself when you are happy; just as when you are desperately miserable you are intensely conscious of yourself, are a solid little lump of ego weighing a ton.”~Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), English chemist, philosopher, and educator “God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't. In this trial He makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down.”~CS Lewis (1898-1963), A Grief Observed “When God guides us down paths of grief, He isn't leading us away from hope. He's trying to lead us to the point where those streets intersect, so that we never believe the lie that our joy is tied to our circumstances.”~John Onwuchekwa, pastor and author “All those who do not in all their works or suffering, life and death, trust in God's favor, grace and good-will, but rather seek His favor in other things or in themselves, do not keep the First Commandment, and practice real idolatry, even if they were to do the works or all the other Commandments, and in addition had all the prayers, fasting, obedience, patience, chastity, and innocence of all the saints combined.” ~Martin Luther in his Treatise Concerning Good Works (1520) “How did Christ welcome us? By taking on our human flesh, by living with a bunch of sinners, and most stunningly of all, by dying on a Roman cross, so you and I could live with him forever.”~Rebecca McLaughlin (PhD, Cambridge), speaker and author “He who thinks lightly of sin thinks lightly of the Savior.”~C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)SERMON PASSAGEGalatians 4:21-31 (ESV) 1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. 8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years! 11 I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain. 12 Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong. 13 You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first, 14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. 15 What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them. 18 It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you, 19 my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. 23 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,    “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;       break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!      For the children of the desolate one will be more      than those of the one who has a husband.” 28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.

If your prayers reach God's ears, you can fall asleep in his arms. Guest preacher John Onwuchekwa continues our annual month in Psalms with a sermon from Psalm 3.

When you hear the word "gentrification," how does it make you feel? If you've grown up in the hood, or most neighborhoods of lesser means, when you hear the term "gentrification," it probably makes you cringe—and rightfully so. So much of what comes with gentrification and redevelopment deserves that kind a response, if not even resistance. But if gentrification is a tidal wave that's bound to come anyway, is it possible to ride that wave instead of drowning and being swept away by it? In this episode of The Unsilent Church podcast we have the privilege of speaking with John Onwuchekwa—pastor, author, network leader, and entrepreneur—about the relationship between justice and business. How does the church disrupt injustice and cultivate peace? There's a number ways, but at least one way is through just business. Listen as John tells his story about how he and the community are playing a role in the redevelopment of Atlanta's West End, learning how to swim in these waters usually intended to flood 'em out. Enjoy!

Do you often ask the question "What is my purpose in life? When life takes unexpected and unwelcome turns, Pastor John Onwuchekwa teaches we can find peace and hope in Ecclesiastics, through his book We Go On: Finding Purpose in All Life's Sorrows and Joys. Then guest host Peter Kapsner is joined by Tim Yearsley from the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity to discuss the need for the gospel to permeate every aspect of our life.

John Onwuchekwa is a pastor, author, speaker, and entrepreneur. He vulnerably shares his story of walking through the sudden loss of his brother and infertility with his wife. After pushing his grief aside he found himself in a really dark place and reached a breaking point which led to his journey of healing. John's story is filled with hope and wisdom.

How do you find your way back to faith when grief seems to tear it apart? For Pastor John Onwuchekwa, losing his brother Sam sent him down a path that he never expected. Having spent his whole life teaching others about the goodness and power of God, John found himself questioning the very foundational truths he so often preached. Grief made him feel like a liar. But he slowly began to see that it was in the wrestling that these truths and others he hadn't learned, could be found. Through community, honesty with God and persistence, John traveled the road back from what seemed like a lost belief into a deeper faith than he ever could have imagined. In this episode, join Davey as he and John talk about the importance of others walking with us in grief, the wrestlings that can come out of loss and why hindsight is better than insight. If you are finding yourself drifting off the path of faith in your pain, this conversation will encourage you to find your way back.

Throughout the history of the Church, God has raised up men of conviction who followed in the footsteps of the Apostles and fought off heretical and godless ideologies. These men used the only analytical tool that has the power to destroy arguments and every lofty opinion that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, that is the Gospel. Men like Tertullian, Ignatius, Athanasius, Augustine, Huss, Wycliffe, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Tyndale, Spurgeon, Warfield, and Machen fought courageously to defend the purity of the Gospel. Today that battle continues. Men have risen from among our ranks and are introducing destructive ideologies and heresies that have slipped in through the “Trojan Horse” of Social Justice. Russell Moore, Thabiti Anywabile, Matt Chandler, Matthew Hall, Jarvis Williams, Curtis Wood, Eric Mason, J.D. Greear, Tim Keller, Ekemini Uwan, Jackie Hill Perry, Jemar Tisby, Mark Dever, Jonathan Leeman, Isaac Adams, David Platt and many more, are either adamantly teaching or passively permitting this godless ideology to spread through the church.  Where are the Spurgeons of our day?  Where are the Christians who will fight against this wickedness and join the ranks of those who boldly stand for the Gospel and care more about truth than their own reputation? In this four-part series entitled “Social Justice: The Trojan Horse”, we will define the modern-day heresy of Social Justice, name names of those who are promoting it and provide you with the only analytical tool that can refute it: the Gospel. So, please join us now, as we take this time to “Stop and think about it.” “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” (Jude 3-4).   Episode Navigation: 00.00 - Intro 03:40 - Naming Names. 4:40 - Responding to Mark Dever on Driving While Black. 07:40 - Mark Dever and the media narrative of Police Brutality. 11:20 - Responding to John Onwuchekwa on walking while black and white privilege. 20:00 - Black parents more worried about children getting shot by other blacks than by police. 24:05 -Responding to Matt Chandler on white privilege. 39:30 - Responding to Mark Dever on one issue voting. 48:00 - Responding to Ekemini Uwan on whiteness is wicked 51:20 - Responding to Isaac Adams and 9Marks on More Christian than Black or White. 58:40 - There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ (Romans 8:1). 102:15 - Responding to Thabiti Anyabwile on white evangelicals being complicit. 118:30 - Racial Reconciliation or Reconciliation with God? 126:20 - Four Points of Application and Closing.
