The highest thing that Christianity offers to us is to be adopted as God's sons. It's little surprise, then, that our identity as his children can radically transform how we live each and every day. When we look at the great privileges and characteristics of people who know they're children of God, what do we see? Let's walk through five marks of sonship: 1) a fearlessness about our security, 2) access to the Father through prayer, 3) acknowledging our wealthiness in our inheritance and future glory, 4) handling suffering and discipline with grace, and 5) having complete assurance of his love.

God moved heaven and earth to be our Father. Rather than just forgiving our sins through Jesus Christ, he invites us to sit at the family table with him as his very own sons and daughters. All too often, we live and act as slaves instead of cherished children, blown about by the emotional highs and lows of our circumstances and defensive about our standing in life. But the truth is that our adoption grants us a wonderful security in Jesus that we can call upon daily. Let's look at 1) how God's adoption of us is far more radical than it seems, and 2) how we can rest secure as sons instead of slaves.

Forgiveness isn't something that can just be given for free; it always has a cost. When we commit an offense against someone and they forgive us, they pay the price of the time, money, or reputation we took from them. Ephesians tells us our sins against God, too, come with a real cost that only Jesus could pay—and that understanding this can truly transform our lives. Let's look at how 1) no sin can be forgiven without someone absorbing the cost, 2) why Jesus's crucifixion was the necessary answer for us breaking God's Law, and 3) how our lives can be radically changed by this grace.

We often hear it stated that Jesus offers redemption to those who believe in him. But why do we need to be redeemed in this first place—and why is Jesus the only one who could do it? The truth is that we have all violated God's Law and need to be saved. Still, many of us are left with more questions. Is what I've done really that bad? Why can't I earn my own redemption? Why couldn't God simply choose to forgive us without sending Jesus to the cross? The Bible offers us answers in the true meaning of the word “Redeemer.” Let's look at how 1) we are in bondage and have a ransom that must be paid, and 2) Jesus Christ had to die to pay it.

1 Corinthians 13 is a very famous passage, but in the context of the entire book of 1 Corinthians, we see that it is a sober warning against straying from the Gospel. If a person is gifted, as many of the Corinthians were, then it is frighteningly easy for that person to mistake their spiritual gifts for spiritual fruit. When we serve others in the church, are we serving Jesus or are we serving ourselves? To understand this passage fully, you have to understand 1) The story behind it; 2) The bombshell Paul is dropping on the Corinthians; and 3) How it applies to people today.

Every single thing Jesus has to say to the church of Laodicea is scathingly negative. The city of Laodicea was a medical center—there was a famous medical school there, and they produced a lot of medicines. Jesus essentially says the church in Laodicea is spiritually sick, and that he has the medicine for them. And whenever we see Scripture diagnosing a spiritual condition, we must always ask, “Is this true of me?” Let's look at this spiritual condition under three headings: 1) the symptom, 2) the underlying disease, and 3) the medicines and remedies.

There are lots of letters in the Bible, but only one place has a series of letters written directly from Jesus to the churches — and that's in Revelation. Jesus appears to the now elderly apostle John on the isle of Patmos, where John is in exile, and it is quite an amazing vision. In it, there are three vivid contrasts. Each one tells us something that will make a real difference in our lives. Let's look at the contrasts: 1) Jesus has come but is coming, 2) John is stunned but still alive, and 3) we are suffering but brilliant.

In Jonah, the antagonists are the religious, moral people. It's us. It's the city-disdaining, city-phobic, religious, moral people. We're the antagonists, and God is the protagonist. It all comes down to this last question when God says, “Should I not have compassion? Should I not love that great city?” This is what the story is about. It's about God's love for a big, unbelieving, unjust, violent, pagan city.  We can learn about three things here: 1) God's call to the city, 2) God's view of the city, and 3) God's love for the city.

History tells us the Assyrian empire brought cruelty and massacre to a new level. It was a violent empire that slaughtered helpless people. And Jonah's response to it is anger. He wants them punished.  Yet, in the book of Jonah, we see one of the greatest surprising turns of all the stories in the Bible. God refuses to accept either the violence of Nineveh or the poisonous anger of Jonah.  Let's look at three things that this text tells us about violence: 1) the surprising sources of violence, 2) the remarkable strategy we should take with violence, and 3) the ultimate solution for violence.

Jonah's spirituality was fine for his old world and his old situations. But when he's faced with a new situation, it just collapses.  Then, when he's in the belly of the fish, Jonah begins to reflect and pray, and as the prayer moves along, we see he has a spiritual breakthrough. Now the new situation is something he can handle. How do we, too, move to the next level?  By looking at Jonah's prayer we learn about 1) the key to spiritual transformation, 2) the method of spiritual transformation, 3) the marks of spiritual transformation, and 4) the continual need for it.

Jonah runs away for two reasons: fear and hate.  God has told Jonah to go to Nineveh to warn them, but Jonah refuses. He's afraid to put himself in the midst of his enemies, but he's also filled with hate toward them. So the book of Jonah addresses in a real way the questions “What do I do about my fear?” and “What do I do about my anger?” Let's notice three features of the story: 1) the stormy sea shows us who we are, 2) the religious sailors show us the wrong thing to do about it, and 3) the willing substitute shows us the right thing to do about it.

Words like sin, sinner, heathen and heretic have been used for centuries to exclude and oppress people. That's one reason we need the book of Jonah.  Jonah gives a concept of sin that can't be used to oppress people. In fact, it shows that it's one thing to believe in sin and another thing to understand it in your own heart. Jonah was a prophet, but there was a kind of sin in his heart that flew under his radar—until it blew up.  Let's look at four features in the narrative that each tell us something about sin: 1) the coming word, 2) the running man, 3) the deathly sleep, and 4) the stormy hope.

In the old tales, if they were sending people out on a quest, they always gave them special gifts with special powers. That's what Jesus is doing in John 14—he's sending his disciples (us) out into the world.  The night before he dies, Jesus is giving mighty gifts with special powers to his disciples and to us. And of all the gifts that he gives, the greatest gift possible is this one: the Holy Spirit. Let's see what we learn in this passage about 1) who the Spirit is, 2) what the Spirit does, and 3) why the Spirit can do it.

God sent Jesus into the world to say the things he said and do the things he did — and it got him killed. Now Jesus is sending us into the world, and we should probably expect at least a hard time. In John 14, Jesus gives us gifts for the journey, gifts that will equip us for the difficult work of being his representatives. One of those great gifts is prayer. And if anybody is saying, “Oh, yeah, I know. What else?” then you don't know. I don't think any of us really know. Prayer is a mighty gift, and in a sense, everything we need to know about prayer is locked in one verse. We're going to look at 1) the power of prayer, 2) the conditions for prayer, 3) the purpose of prayer, and 4) the foundation of prayer.

Philip asks Jesus for something I think most of us can identify with. He asks Jesus to actually show them God. And at this, Jesus is exasperated.  Philip's saying, “We believe in God, but it's hard. So give us just one view, and that will be enough for the rest of our lives.” And essentially, Jesus says, “I'm offering you something greater than a vision, that through me you can know God.”  Let's look at 1) what is possible, that through Jesus we can know God, 2) how it's possible, and 3) why it's possible.
