Weekly sermons from University Presbyterian Church in Seattle. Biblical teaching centered on Jesus Christ, Scripture, faith, discipleship, spiritual growth, worship, and Christian living.

This week we begin a ten week series looking into how “Christ

in us” transforms how we face life’s challenges. Seven Deadly Sins. It is one of the ways followers of Jesus have described the ways we try to make life work apart from Jesus. Seven things that look like life but are not life at all. What are they? Why do they attract us? And how does Jesus rescue us from them and reshape us to live a different way? Jesus does not just forgive and forget; nor is he interested in our lame business of sin-management. No, Jesus wants more for us. He wants us to live like he lived, life as God intended. He lives within us to change our way of life, to reshape us . . . from one degree of glory to another. It may sound fancy and far-fetched, but it is as simple as turning to His grace and taking up new disciplines as He walks with us through the stuff of everyday life.

On Easter Sunday we focus on the source of our living hope­—the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. A study Bible written for India by a converted Hindu Nair succinctly summarizes the point of our text, “If Christ had not risen there would be no hope of salvation for anyone, ever.”
