RUF at Kentucky

In the first of six sections where Jesus addresses misconceptions about the Law, Jesus explains we cannot address the sin of murder without looking at the anger in our hearts. Source Material: Dallas Willard, Sinclair Ferguson, Les Newsom

How do Christians relate to and love the world that God created, while not finding our hope or security in it? Jesus' answers that question in the Sermon on the Mount by stating His people are salt and light. What does that mean and what does it look like? That's we talk about tonight as we look at Matthew 5:13-16. Source Material: Sinclair Ferguson, Frederick Bruner, Les Newsom, John Stott

Tonight we take a look at Jesus' description of the blessed life in Matthew 5:1-12.  Source material: John Stott, Dallas Willard, Dan Doriani

This semester on Wednesday nights we are looking at the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus invites us to consider what it means to find our life in Him and truly flourish. Before we do that, we take a look at the verses leading up to the sermon (Matthew 4:17, 23-5:1), where Jesus explains that the Kingdom of God is now at hand. What does that mean? Why does it matter? We look at those questions tonight. Source Material: Sinclair Ferguson "The Sermon on the Mount; Dallas Willard "The Divine Conspiracy"; The Sermon on the Mount "Dan Doriani"

At our first RUF of the semester, we take a look at a passage that embodies and explains what we are all about at RUF: Seeing lives transformed by the Gospel as we study God's Word together. Source Material: Very indebted to Dennis Johnson, Tim Keller and Matt Howell.

Sermon preached over Zoom by Michael Gordon - sorry sound quality is not great!

This summer we are looking at what the Bible says about love in 1 Corinthians 13. In this first study, we look at 1 Cor 13: 1-4a, where Paul explains the priority of love. We can speak with great power and eloquence, have immense knowledge, and experience amazing things in our life. We can even give away all our belongings.  But if we do these apart from love... we are nothing.  To truly live is to love. And this week we look at how love shows up in acts of patience and kindness.

Each year we hear from our seniors how the Lord has worked through RUF in their lives. These were recorded during our last 5 virtual large groups. Kay J, Jake O (3:45), Cora A.
