Another great post from resident awesome guy Dustin Moser on the events of last Sunday. Read, Enjoy, Respond! This is our Sunday: Re-think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. This past Sunday we looked at Luke 10:25-41, the parable of the Good samaritan as well as an account of Martha, Mary and Jesus. The experts in the law, that is the Old Testament, followed Christ around mainly to test Him or trying [...]
For the next several weeks our awesome summer intern Dustin Moser will be handling the ever so disappearing Re:Think posts. So, read, respond and be changed. This is our Sunday: Re-Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday (6-6). This past Sunday we looked into Luke 10:1-24 which gives the account of Jesus sending the 70 (or 72) out ahead of Him to the cities and their response when they returned. We looked [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. We began our time in Isaiah yesterday in part bemoaning the inadequacy of the English language; namely the fact that we can speak of our love of hot dogs in the same way we speak of our love for our spouse etc. This inadequacy is not limited to the word love however but also finds evidence in the casual way [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Yesterday we celebrated the first Sunday in Advent. Advent is a time of expectant waiting, as we celebrate both the nativity or birth of Christ and look longingly forward to the eminent day of His return. We continued our trek through the book of Isaiah and were confronted with Three overlapping truths in chapters 24-27. This world is broken and [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Yesterday we began our look at the book of Isaiah, our final stop in our year spent in the Old Testament. In the final few weeks of 2009 we will piece our way through this incredibly difficult yet beautiful book. Isaiah was written during a pivotal time in the history of Israel, the closing decades of the 8th Century B.C. [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. It has been said in many times and many ways, “Merry Christmas!”, while that is in fact true, and probably what you thought was coming, what I was really thinking was, “Everything rises and falls with leadership.” Rather cliche I know, and a thought definitely not original to me, but makes the point rather well. This is no more clear [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday.Continuing our journey through the Old Testament, we stopped over in the book of Judges yesterday. While there are several truths to be gleaned from Judges, including but not limited to; what happens when there is a leadership void, the need for right thinking about God, and creative ways to use a tent stake, we zeroed in on what happens when [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Throughout the course of 2009 one of our main goals in spending an entire year in the Old Testament is to see evidences of the Gospel lived out in those we encounter. There is possibly no clearer place than in the story of Rahab in Joshua. It is in the story of Rahab we see the beauty of the Gospel [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Celebrating Easter, we began a new three week series entitled “Who do you Say I am?: Uncovering the Real Jesus.” Over the course of the next couple weeks we will learn a bit more about who Jesus is, what He came to accomplish, and what that means for us. Last Sunday, we began our look with Jesus: Conqueror of Sin [...]
Yesterday we began our look at Abraham, his Road to Redemption and Lessons learned along the way. Our focus yesterday was on the first lesson learned, namely that the Road to Redemption is a journey. Today we continue our conversation, considering how this Road to Redemption is the place where we learn obedience and exercise faith. In much the same way that parts of our physical being cannot grow unless exercised, our faith cannot grow unless it is exercised as [...]
