Are we saved by having all the answers? No.But we continue to draw closer to Jesus as we dig deeper in His Word, like Nicodemas. Beginning at John 3, then John 7, finally at John 19, see how his journey can be a model for ours.
When we experience suffering like Job - how do we respond?
We sinful humans are excellent excuse makers. We hate guilt and shame and do all we can to push it off. Jesus came, endured the same temptations but overcame, has no guilt, but was pleased to take ours. So, when we are tempted to make excuses for our sin, we are called rather to admit our sin and take it to Jesus who removes it from us.
We begin our journey in Job. We are flying blind...but God has not left us, He is guiding us by His Word.
Fear? Not when we have the one who calls us to "Rise and have no fear", the one who knows all things, controls all things, comes to us, take us into His arms and calms our fears.
Hypocrites? Yup.Repentant? Yup.Salt & Light? By God's grace...Yup!
Worldly wisdom & human effort, no matter how great, will never get you to God for His love for us is beyond our understanding and reason. Thanks be to God that it pleases Him to save us, that His heart is love for us.
We all long for an encounter with our Lord, a sudden dramatic change in our life leading us down God's path. I bring you good news, you all have that in your baptism. The call now is to die to self and rise to life in Christ, serving in the place God has set you.
Apart from God revealing Himself in Jesus we would be lost in our sins, unable to find God, heaven, life. Praise God that He comes to us, walks with us, and leads us home.
Are you like John the Baptist? Do you find yourself confused at the mystery of Christ or by the way God chooses to work in this world? Then step into John's sandals and in faith, trusting God, respond the same.
Our Lord, born to set us free.
God shook the heavens and earth to come and save you, preparing you for when He comes again.
God's understanding must supplant ours. We look at King Ahaz of Isaiah 7 and Joseph in Matthew 1 to see the difference. Joseph receives God's Word - beyond our comprehension - but believes and obeys.
What is it that brings us joy this season? Not our circumstances but rather God's promises fulfilled. So even if we're in a circumstance we don't like (like John the Baptist in prison) we can still have joy in the birth of our Savior
On the Day of Pentecost God poured out His Spirit and the apostles proclaimed God's Word to many nations. But why are there all these languages? What does it mean that God poured out His Spirit on the Apostles and they spoke in languages of those gathered in Jerusalem? Rejoice as we hear God's Word in our language today.
It's the end of the Church year and we look to the end of the world.
Just as we prepare for Christmas so also we should continually prepare for Judgement Day, even though we don't know the date.
What does the hope of the resurrection mean for us in our lives now? How does it impact our daily life?
What does it mean that we are all saints NOW? How does that impact our lives today?
The Reformation was not about change, but about returning to the Gospel and seeing how that impacts our lives from re-birth to eternal life.
