  • Galatians 1
    THE NATURE OF THE GOSPEL IS WHY THE GOOD NEWS IS “GOOD”
    We are saved and welcomed by the grace of God by believing in Christ’s substitution. (v3-5)
    THE RELIGIOUS DISTORTION THEY ADDED TO THE GOSPEL ERASED IT
    The insistence that obedience to God is a necessary contribution to receive His welcome is false. (v6-9) Christian obedience is from God’s love, belonging & blessing - not for it.
    THE LIFE CHANGING RENEWAL IN THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL
    Jesus gave himself for our sins to rescue us from “the present evil age” (v4)
    “Age” αἰῶνος - an era characterized by a specific quality.
    United to Christ by grace & faith, His Spirit increasingly renews us, and our souls flourish.

  • Matthew 11:28 John 5:1-5
    THE LOVE OF GOD calls us to be born of God where we are
    invited to exchange our weariness for His rest
    Matt 11:28 - Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest
    THE COMMANDS OF GOD are not for earning God’s acceptance,
    they guide us to flourish as our true selves, from His acceptance
    Matthew 11:28 - take My yoke upon you .. my yoke is easy and my burden light
    1 JN 5:3 - the love of God is that you keep His commands, and they are not burdensome
    THE POWER TO OVERCOME the restlessness of the world is on offer because the power that orders the world no longer orders you
    1 JN 5:4 - the victory that overcomes: the faith that believes Jesus is the Son of God

  • Revelation 1:1-8
    GRACE & PEACE IS OURS … as we trust & abide in our “death proof Ruler”
    4 Grace and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come… the firstborn of the dead
    and the ruler of kings on earth.
    A LIFE OF WHOLENESS, FULFILLMENT AND RESILIENCE IS OURS
    … as we live free from idolatrous autonomy for flourishing community as ministers
    5 To Him who loves us and freed us from our sins by His blood 6 and made us a kingdom of priests
    THE GOSPEL OF JESUS … is not a basic “ABC’s” message that we move past, Jesus is the “A-Z” of creation & re-creation, our source of meaning and joy
    8 “I am the Alpha and Omega,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty”

  • Hebrews 13:20-21
    GOD’S ETERNAL PROMISE IS GOOD NEWS
    v20) “may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus”
    GOD’S EQUIPPING FOR ABUNDANT LIVING IS HIS WILL
    v21) “equip you with everything good for doing His will”
    GOD’S RENEWING WORK REJUVENATES US IN THIS AGE AND BRINGS US INTO HARMONY FOR THE NEXT
    v21) “may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ,
    to whom be glory for ever and ever”
    “Eternal” = αἰώνιος “Ever and ever” = αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων “to the ages of the ages”

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
    SANCTIFICATION & SALVATION

    SANCTIFICATION - We are being saved…from the power of sin
    GLORIFICATION - We will be saved…from the presence of sin
    28 min
  • 2 Thessalonians 3:16
    TENSION: THE PROMISE OF PEACE & THE REALITY OF LIFE
    GOD TRULY WANTS US TO KNOW HIS PEACE
    JESUS LEADS US IN THE WAY OF PEACE
    25 min
  • Numbers 6:22-27
    THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD GIVING HIS BLESSING
    (Numbers 11-25) God’s people will reject God’s plan (again), so God initiates an undeserved, intentional blessing to move His plan of redemption forward - through the next generation.
    THE GOSPEL-RICH PROVISIONS EMBEDDED IN GOD’S BLESSING
    (6:25-26) Make His face shine on / turn His countenance to you - how? Grace (v5) Peace (v6)
    THE LIFE CHANGING REALITY OF RECEIVING GOD’S BLESSING
    (6:27) “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
    We humans crave benediction; it is a driving force in all of our lives:
    a) To have the subject we most value (god) put a name on us: give identity, value, peace
    b) To have the subject we most value (god) bless us: give us security, provision, joy

  • Acts 4:1-31
    THE PROCLAMATION OF THE GOSPEL
    v11-12) “Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
    Salvation is in no one else, there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved.”
    THE INTIMIDATION FROM THOSE WHO REJECT THE GOSPEL
    (v16-17) “Everyone knows they performed a notable sign - we cannot deny it. But to stop this thing from spreading any further, we must warn them to no longer speak in this name.”
    THE PRAYER FOR BOLDNESS TO SHARE THE GOSPEL
    AND THE HEALING POWER OF THE GOSPEL
    (v29-30) “...enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
    Stretch out your hand to heal…”
