The post Really Bad News – Steve Brown appeared first on Key Life.

Life is filled with suffering. There is good news in Christ. That God intervened to save and rescue us. Jesus is the center of God’s plan for History. Jesus is the basis for hope in the face of darkness, despair and ultimately death. Gods saving work has been accomplished solely through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not earned by us in our effort, but received as a gift from God to us.

Jesus loves you, but don’t let it go to your head! Or, Jesus loves you, but you got to love Him back. Be careful about grace and don’t take advantage of it! No, no, no. We are always adding kickers when Jesus adds none. Jesus loves us UNCONDITIONALLY! (Luke 7:36-50)

The book of Joel was written in a really dark time. No hope, sad, empty, dark. During that time Joel wrote a book of light and truth in the midst of darkness. As Christians, we are light in the midst of darkness. Jesus had paid the price and we have a hope and a salvation. We are not there yet, but we have a dream of heaven. A hope for a future of love and acceptance.

“Steve, I used to think I was a Christian, but I’m not so sure.” “Steve, I’ve blown it bad, can you help me?” “I try to be good, but I just can’t!” Can we REALLY know we are His? (John 6:60-71, Philippians 2:14)

God is not a genie granting wishes. But Christ said “I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect.” Can we be spiritual and still have success? (John 8:31-36; 2 Cor. 3:17)

Paul tells us we are a new creation. But, Paul does not tell us how to behave as a new creation. Too often we get caught up in looking good and soon, we are weighed down with the layers of religious stuff. Then we lose our joy. Steve gives us a perspective on how to throw off those religious layers and rest in the work of Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:11-21)

“Money is a root of all kinds of evil.” But it’s not JUST about money, is it? Discover what the Bible says about possessions and other potential idols as Steve teaches from I Timothy 6:6-10

Don’t you hate to be out of control? We say God is sovereign but then we try to control everything. Sometimes we use religion to control our world. A need to control is the main cause of the loss of spiritual power. But realizing our lack of power may be the best blessing we can get. (Exodus 17:1-16)

It was sand-lot baseball, it was no big deal. The kid who was there wasn’t chosen. They choose both the teams and he was left out… again. He said to himself, “it doesn’t matter.” “I don’t give a rip.” But, it broke his heart. The reason Steve knows it broke his hard, because that boy was Steve. Sometimes the pain is so bad for those who are excluded, that they will do anything to be included.
