RUF at Kentucky episodes
- Life of Abraham # 4 - Walking by Faith vs. Walking by SightGenesis 13:1-18. How do we relate to our belongings, time, and gifts? How can we own and be generous with them without being owned by them? As Abraham and Lot separate we get two pictures of how to live. By faith vs by sight. Sources: Iain Duguid and Derek Kidner25 min
- Life of Abraham #3 - Turning Point
How do you respond to the grace of God? Gen 13:1-4 gives us a little glimpse of what it looks like to respond to God's kindness by turning to him with our sin. Source Material: Gordon Wenham, Ben Robertson and Derek Kidner
19 min - Life of Abraham 2 - the struggle to believeGenesis 12:10-20 - Abraham’s failure and God’s faithfulness. Source material: Derek Kidner, Nate Shurden28 min
- Life of Abraham 1 - Trusting God Against All OddsGenesis 11:27-12:9 - How do we trust God when the journey we are on takes a detour we didn't plan or the path seems unclear? This semester, we are looking at this question as we study the life of Abraham in Genesis. The same God that makes lavish promises to Abraham makes and keeps promises to his children today. What does it look like to live in light of these promises? Source Material: Iain Duguid, Derek Kidner28 min
- Flourishing # 11 - Judge not lest you be judged
Matthew 7:1-6 - Source Material: Dallas Willard, Dan Doriani
27 min - 30 min
- Flourishing # 9 - Flourishing in Prayer
Prayer is hard. Even Jesus' disciples had to ask him for help (Luke 11). And yet, because we have a God who delights in hearing from his children, it is not only possible to have a prayer life, but to enjoy praying to your Father. In the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), Jesus explains what it means to be 1. In relationship with the Father 2. Molded by the Father 3. Cared for by the Father. NOTE: the Scripture reading and intro were not recorded
27 min - Flourishing # 8 - Hypocrisy
The word hypocrite comes from the Greek word for "actor." Why do we feel the need to perform for others and act like we are better than we are? Sinclair Ferguson sums it up well in this look at Matthew 6:1-8; 16-18: "Throughout this section of the sermon, our Lord hints that the real trouble with the heart of the hypocrite is that he does not know God as his heavenly Father! He is insecure before God and, therefore, seeks security in what his fellow men think about him. He is unreal in his activities before men because he has no real relationship with God." Source Material: Les Newsom, Sinclair Ferguson, John Stott and Dallas Willard
29 min - Flourishing # 7 - Love the haters?
"Turn the other cheek", "Love your enemies" - Two of the most well-known phrases in the Sermon on the mount are also two of the most challenging and beautiful commands. As John Stott aptly puts it: "Nowhere is the distinction of the christian counter culture more obvious. Nowhere is our need of power of the Holy Spirit (whose fruit is love) more compelling." In the midst of an election year, there has never been a better time to bring Christ's revolutionary love to bear on the world. Source Material: John Stott, Dallas Willard, Sinclair Ferguson.
36 min - Flourishing # 6 - Sexual Flourshing
God created sex to be good, but like so many things, it has become a tool for oppression, abuse, addiction - all in the name of satisfying our own needs. In Matthew 5:27-30, Jesus shows us, not only the cure to our lust, but also a better way forward under His rule and word. Source Material: Hide or Seek - John Freeman, Matthew - Frederick Dale Bruner
