January 18, 2009 09-The Story's Epilogue
While teaching the children in our fellowship the story of God I asked the question, “What do
you do if you find yourself in a part of the story you do not understand?” One of the children
cried out, “Keep reading the story!” Friend that is the best counsel I could give to any one
who finds themselves in the hard place, “Keep reading the story!” I would like us to keep
reading and find where the story ends.

January 11, 2009 08-The Hero's Legacy - Part 2
There is a distinct person, purpose, and plan in the legacy our Lord and Hero left to those who
love Him and who are privileged to carry out His mission in His physical absence.
We go to all the nations, but we begin in Jerusalem. I often hear of imbalance where the focus
is only on missions as it exists on foreign soil or an unhealthy emphasis in reaching your
immediate context without any real concern for the world at large.
Our responsibility to the world is not met by throwing a few dollars and offering up token
interest. Such a response cannot silence our obligation to our immediate community either.
We must become relational with our community and with our world through individual
involvement and through corporate strength.
Inside the Book of Acts there are three salient features. First, what were they to do; second,
how would they do it; finally, where were they to go?

January 04, 2009 07-The Hero's Legacy - Part 1
In the story of God, He created a world in which His story would unfold. From the very
beginning a villain, an antagonist, was presented. But God also wrote into His story a
deliverer who would bring deliverance. This hero was foreshadowed and imaged throughout
biblical revelation and history. The foretelling and figure were so exact that when the hero
arrived all who were looking were able to identify God’s hero. The Hero came at a very
specific time in history and with a distinct purpose. He came as a deliverer and He brought
with Him deliverance. The Hero has finished the work entrusted to Him by His Father; now
He gives to His people the responsibility to carry on the work of proclamation to all the
nations. Even though we acknowledge the story of God, we fail to see how we are living in
the story and how our lives are a part of the ongoing story of God.

December 28, 2008 06-The Hero's Work
Everything in the story has prepared us for this moment in time. From Genesis 3:15 and 3:21 it
is clear there will be an identifiable deliverer and deliverance. God has already written into
His story the hero’s identity and His work.

December 24, 2008 05-The Hero Arrives - Part 2
Why didn’t Jesus come sooner? Why where there about 400 silent years between the
testaments? Why wasn’t the world’s Redeemer waiting in the Promised Land to meet the
incoming Israelites with Joshua?

December 21, 2008 04-The Hero Arrives - Part 1
When we consider the season of Advent, our own actions and attitudes toward Christmas
appear vulgar, if not blasphemous. We have so commercialized the story of God that only a
hard right turn will put us back on course. In life, it seems that greed and not God controls us.
It is self-serving action and not sacrifices on any level that marks us and characterizes our
lives. We are heirs of the promise and joint-heirs with Christ, yet we live puny lives simply
because we do not know and live in the story.

December 14, 2008 03-The Promise of a Deliverer
Salvation always comes through judgment in various ways. Salvation for the nation of
Israel at the Exodus came through the judgment of Egypt, and this pattern is repeated
throughout the OT. When God saves Israel, he delivers the nation by bringing judgment
on the nation’s enemies.
Salvation for all believers of all ages is made possible by the judgment that falls on Jesus
at the cross. The cross allows God to be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in
Jesus (Rom 3:24–26). Even though members of the remnant live before Jesus, saving
faith is explicit trust in the promises of God. I believe the promises of God begin in
Genesis 3:15, and I think that many of these promises concern an anointed redeemer
whom God will raise up to accomplish the salvation of his people—Messiah. So even
though OT saints don’t know that the Messiah will be named Jesus, grow up in
Nazareth etc., they have heard God promise to raise up a man who will save them and
they trust God to keep his word. So they are saved by faith in God’s promised Messiah.

December 07, 2008 02-“Now What?” – The Presence of Evil
Why sin? Sin, is perhaps, the hardest truth for mortal man to accept. Sin is problematic not
only because of its hideousness, but because of its application. Sin is a very real part of our
present condition. We cannot fully appreciate the scope of sin’s permeation into our makeup,
nor can we fully comprehend what life will be like without it. Yet, why would a good God
permit the entrance of sin into a perfect universe? This question has puzzled thoughtful
people for centuries. There is no truly adequate answer. Man does not have the capability of
answering the question because of his finiteness and sin. Furthermore, the Bible is silent.
