Methodist Temple UMC

Pastors Randy and Andy continue to unpack the Beatitudes. What did Jesus mean when he said the poor in spirit are blessed? Is it possible that the poor in spirit today are those who become aware of their need for loving relationships that push back against isolation and result in the appearance of the risen Christ?

Pastors Randy and Andy continue their dialogue on the meaning of the death of Jesus on the cross. One way of understanding what Jesus did on the cross is called "Christus Victor." It has a much longer history in Christian thought than the theory that Christ was our substitute on the cross.

Pastors Randy and Andy discuss what it means that Jesus is a sacrifice for sin. Jesus sacrificed his life for the sake of others. The apostle Paul implores us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Life works better if we love sacrificially in Christ-like ways.
