Creation and the Cross.

Jesus said 7 distinct things from the cross. The last thing said in John's gospel was three simple words, "It is finished." These three words connect back to God's response to sin in Genesis 3 and the fall of mankind. A statement was made and a shadow was shown, both a foretaste of Jesus. What was promised by God was accomplished by Christ on the cross. What was needed for your salvation was paid by him. This would be the greatest of victories, but one that came at the gravest cost.

Creation and the Cross.

The Bible does not waste words. Every detail matters and is a part of God's sovereign story of redemption. A common depiction of the crown of Jesus actually connects back to the curse of the fall. More importantly, it connects us to the heart of God's sacrificially love for us in Jesus Christ.

Creation and the Cross.

On the night before Jesus died, he gathered together with his disciples to celebrate the Passover Seder. This was a meal that dated back to the Exodus event. The Hebrew people celebrated it for over 1,000 years with the same customs attached to it. Jesus breaks the norm and goes off script. He connects the events of the Old Testament directly to himself. From Creation to the Cross, God has made certain promises to his people. Each of these promises will culminate with Jesus Christ as he ushers in a new relationship between God and man.

Creation and the Cross.

When Jesus entered into Jerusalem, he is declaring himself to be the king. Everything that was customary to do in that time period, Jesus does. Only Jesus does everything very... Jesus-like. He flips the script on what is expected. Jesus ends his triumphal entry in the temple. The temple was meant to represent the Garden of Eden, where God's space and human's space overlapped. God is returning to the Garden and has something to say that's worth listening to.

Exodus 5-11.

The exodus event is a spectacle of God's love and strength. He is loving enough to want to save his people and strong enough to do so. God goes through great lengths to reveal these two aspects of himself. In this episode, we look at the beginning of the exodus event and see the strength and love of God combine as he frees his people from slavery. This same strength and love is seen all the more fully with Jesus on the cross as God saves us from our own sin and slavery.

Exodus 3-4.

What excuses do you bring to God? When God calls Moses to be a part of his plan, Moses actually gives God 5 excuses to why he isn't the right man for the job. The core of these excuses shed light on why we often say no to God when God is calling us to take part in something amazing.

Genesis 37-50.

What do you do when life doesn't go your way? In the life of Joseph we see how God sanctifies us when our situation isn't what you expected. These sovereign strange turns are actually what God uses to shape and mold us into who he desires us to be. When we cannot trace his hand, we can trust his heart.

Genesis 25-36.

What does God do when we keep going back to our same patterns of sin? In this episode we will be looking at the life of Jacob. Jacob went from a deceiver (to get from God) to a receiver (of the gift of God). The hope of this episode is for us to see what God does with someone who keeps trying to live life on their own terms. Will God bless a liar and a deceiver?
