It's a messy world out there. We all know this as a reality. Everyone can attest to the reality of the mess that the world is in. Yet, God has placed the local church right in the middle of the mess to be sheep among wolves! Is this wisdom or not? Is God wise to have done this? 

The world has always been a messy place since after the fall of Adam. Yet, despite the fall, Jesus was dropped right in the middle of the mess to shine the light of God's grace into man's mess and to bring as many who would believe out of darkness and into His glorious light! It is like God to step into chaos and turn it around into beauty. 

Was God wise to plant His Church right in the middle of a dying world? The answer is yes! Why yes? Because we came armed with something that God trusts to be good enough to clean the world out and just before you think about cleaning the whole world, think about influencing your own world- the world around you. 

Join us all Sundays and Wednesdays in May for an amazing teaching series on the beauty of the local church called Messy: Middle. You will be blessed out of your socks.

Bible days were truly interesting. You'd love the detail of God's mind when you read through Scriptures. It is beautiful to know that all kinds of scenarios were taken into consideration with a redemptive price allocated to each one. The "kinsman" concept fell into that category of provisions that God made, as a picture of the kind of redemption we were to receive when Jesus would be revealed. 

During the time that scripture was written, Israel had an issue with people entering into heavy debts that they couldn't pay back. This resulted in the debtor forfeiting lands and precious items owned, in order to pay for their debt. However, a provision was made for people to recover those kinds of assets- a kinsman-redeemer had to show up to pay the debt and recover the resources that had been forfeited. 

Can you see the details that the Scriptures cover? Something else is worthy of mention and that is the fact that this kinsman had to be a close relative by blood, who had the willingness and ability to pay off the debt that was owed. 

In this episode, we will explore the Kinsman concept and you should come into our service experience to understand how this concept works and how it pertains to our Redemption in Christ Jesus.

Redemption is near and we live like we know it is. Redemption is here and we are here because of Him. Christ died and brought us the new life that is found in Jesus. Everything has been touched and changed for those that have believed in the new life that is found in Christ. Christ Jesus died for the sins of mankind to move us from the location of earth to a new location in Christ.

How would you feel if you were told that a huge debt that you owed had been paid off? How would you feel if your debt was paid and no one ever told you, for a long time? One year? More? All this while, you were living with the weight and the uncanny unrest that comes from being in debt, in such a huge way! How sad you would be!

Christ paid our debt and everybody ought to know. We will spend our lives knowing the depth of what it means to have our debts cleared and our sins forgiven, knowing that our lives are worth living. 

Join us for an amazing teaching series on the redemptive work of Jesus called Silver Studs.
