June 30, 2019 Sunday Morning
We are in the middle of a series on what it means to be the church. So it
is only natural that at some point, we should take notice of what we are
doing in the worship service on Sunday mornings. Why do we sing? Why do we
collect the offering? Why do we always have a sermon? Why do we do the
things we do on a Sunday morning? As it turns out, there are good reasons.
Let's explore!

June 23, 2019 Sacred
There are any number of shifts that happen from the Old to the New
Testament. Of these shifts, one of the more remarkable is that God’s
presence is said to be moved from the temple to the people of God, from the
heart of Jerusalem to the heart of the believer. The sacred space of the
temple, with its sacred instruments and sacred rituals, is transposed onto
the life of the believer and the life of the church corporate. It is wholly
appropriate to say that the church—the people, not the building—is a sacred
people; and, yet, too often we are willing to settle for the church—the
building, not the people—to be that which is sacred. What would it mean for
you if you lived a sacred life as part of a sacred body of believers?

In Ephesians, Paul does not shy away from making bold claims about the
power available to the church. He says that God “is able to do far more
abundantly than all that we ask or think” (3:20). But do we believe this?
Do we have faith? When living as Christians requires little of us (as it
often does in our 21st century, American context), it is possible to live
small lives, timid toward God, and always moderating the risks and rewards
of lived faith. Paul had no such “luxury” in 1st century Rome, where he was
largely ostracized by both Jews and Romans. The two choices he had were
either to abandon faith or to have a radical faith, and we all know what he
chose. Paul’s radical faith was empowered by the Spirit doing “far more
abundantly” in Paul’s life than he could have ever imagined. He taught this
because he lived it. What about you?

June 09, 2019 Brick by Brick
Ephesians 2 uses the metaphor of a building to describe the nature of the
church. Paul says that the cornerstone of this building is Christ, every
stone thereafter is a Christ-follower, and the structure is an ever-growing
temple that houses the presence of God. It is a beautiful picture of the
church, but it’s more than just beautiful, it has a significant practical
implication. As we consider what it means to be the church in any day and
any age and any culture, we must always return back to the cornerstone. The
cornerstone of a building is the model for every other stone. The stones
are shaped and molded in relation to the cornerstone. So as we explore what
it means to be the church, we begin with the model Christ has laid for us,
the self-sacrificial love he demonstrated for the world, and the new life
he calls us into.

June 02, 2019 A Tale of Two Cities
The book of Revelation can feel a little like walking into a curiosity shop
or Ripley’s Believe-It-or-Not. You walk through the shop looking at the
shrunken heads, mummies, double-headed snakes and then walk out hoping to
spot something like that in nature—though with no success. But the reality
of the matter is Revelation is not a curiosity shop and it is a deeply
practical book. It is twenty-two chapters that relentlessly ask one
question: Which city do you call home? Babylon or new Jerusalem? The book,
therefore, is a warning to those who would cozy up with the Babylons of our
day, and it is an encouragement to keep searching for that eternal city
where the tree of life produces fruit 12 months a year and the river of
life runs through it.

May 26, 2019 Light of the Nations
In the new Jerusalem, the sun and the moon are said to be unnecessary
because whatever light they might produce will be overshadowed by the glory
of God who dwells among mortals. But the glory of God has an interesting
effect. According to Revelation 21:24, something about God’s glory draws
the nations and their kings to stream into the new Jerusalem like a line of
ants drawn to a lollipop left on the back porch in hot summer sun. But more
striking than the streaming of the nations is that the kings are said to
bring their own glory. And more striking still is that these kings were
seen, just chapters prior, siding with God’s enemies. What in the world is
going on here? And what does it mean for us?

In Eden, the world was hospitable and kind because God walked in the garden
and dwelled with creation. But east of Eden, the world was inhospitable;
food grew at the sweat of one’s brow; babies were born amid pain and
danger; brothers acted savagely toward one another. What changed? It wasn’t
the new location but the absence of God that changed everything. Like a
prodigal child looking for contentment in all the wrong places, we went in
search of that which we already had. Today we see a vision of a world in
which God once again dwells with humanity, a world where union with God is
restored in full. What a world that will be!

May 13, 2019 Salvation Belongs to Our God
Have you ever read a book so gripping that by the time you were nearing the end you just could not put it down? You had to keep reading. And as you read, you were filled with anxious energy, excitement, a full heart, or perhaps even joy. If you know this feeling, then you know quite well where Revelation 7 sits in the emotional journey of the narrative of Scripture. It sits in view of the end of it all, where the book is coming to a close and everything that the book has been building up to is beginning to get tied together. God and the Lamb are on the throne, and salvation is at hand.

April 28, 2019 Resurrecting a Theology of Resurrection
Modern Christians don’t always celebrate it, but for most of church history, the Easter “season” is not a one-day affair. It goes on for 7 whole weeks! It even has a fun name: Eastertide. Like the tide of an ocean that goes up and down but requires a little patience to fully enjoy, Easter and the resurrection of Jesus lasts for a little longer than we often let it.

April 21, 2019 No Idle Tale
God has taken the most tragic event of history and turned it into the most beautiful event of history! Now, if God is able to make beauty from ashes in an event as profound as the death of Christ, just imagine what God can do with your life!
