A life-giving message contrasting the futility of self, with living from the life God breathes into us in Christ. "Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." John 12:24. This message was given in River City Church on Saturday May 28th 2024.

His words have such power, that by the time you hear them, everything He said is already accomplished.

To preach the Gospel in the power of the Spirit is to find yourself, much to your own surprise, speaking to what is not, as if it is. Of all the voices that are speaking to you in this world, the voice of God is the only one that does not speak to you according to your natural state.

Live reconciled.

Live from the party, not from the field.

Live from His acceptance, not for His acceptance.

It is not your job to reconcile yourself to God.

God has done that through the man Christ Jesus.

Let His life do the work.

Let His life be done unto you according to His Word to you.

Let the power of the Gospel call up in you, His life.

All who want a Saviour, have a Saviour; Jesus Christ

“You cannot carry the weight of trying to save yourself from death. That burden will crush you and steal from you your innocence; the joy and wonder at just being alive. What you need is a Father, who gives you a life greater than death, and so lifts from you the burden of trying to save yourself."

A conversation with Jeff and Roger Fields on the beauty and power of the Gospel and our journey in understanding that when we dilute down the generosity of God, we take the metanoia out of the message.

Here is the reckless scandalous gospel in all its glory….

God thinks you are worthy of giving His life to.... so He did!

That’s not advice. That’s news and news on such a scale as to awaken those dead to God as He truly is, that they may see the true knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ.

When you grow up in a world that doesn't believe in a Saviour, such a world can only teach you to be your own saviour.
