It stinks to go it alone when there are so many difficult things to do in life, and nothing is better at giving us a great group of people to work with than a just judge. 

Gospel for life with Nathaniel Timmermann

Bring a great group!

God envisions a new way for us to handle our finances. It's not equality of opportunity or equality of outcome. It's economic impartiality. It's driven by the judgment that Jesus experienced for us, so that everyone benefits, no matter what we've done. Enjoy James 2:1-13. 

Bring your wallet

There is a certain kind of good that Christians do. It's not driven by a need for acceptance or approval. It's driven by a rich appreciation of everything God has done. It's gospel good. 

Bring! gospel good

We can bring one thing with us in a messy, chaotic, and troubled world that will really make a difference. The gospel can turn this upside down world back around. Let's bring the gospel with us this fall! 

Bring! the gospel

Whether we are single or married, God warns us about hard hearts. With hard hearts, we are not whole people - we're frustrated, bitter, and hurt. God wants to make two people into one, which is the same thing he does for one. He makes us one whole person. Let's pursue that and enjoy it. 

God makes us whole

If we follow Jesus, there are consequences. We can see that from Jesus himself. He died for bringing good news. We've can be ready to endure whatever consequences come our way because Christ experienced the worst consequences for us. 

Christianity carries consequences

Jesus brings his new kingdom with his life, death and resurrection. It's a life of forgiveness, deliverance, and renewal. Since he has fed our souls, we join him in his new work.  A sermon on Mark 6:30-44

I care and I can

A great group is amazing - motivated by a common cause, united around a common creed, developed by common tactics - a great group impacts people. The greatest group is gathered by a supernatural spirit. God gathers such a group. 

God gathers a great group

Safety is an understandable, basic human need. We want to be physically and emotionally safety. Jesus does not deny this need. He risks everything he is and has for us, so that we are guaranteed an eternal safety. What risk will you take? 

You can have certain safety.

Love is the most important or essential part of our security. It's the one thing, more than anything else, that enables actual living. Only the love of Jesus - a love that is so great that he calls us friends - is great enough to fill our lives. John 15:9-17

His love can power your life

Sometimes nonreligious people are better at doing good than even religious people. Simon recognizes the incredible power of the Holy Spirit and he wants it. But only the power of the Holy Spirit in him can change him so that the Holy Spirit works through him. 

Small Steps: What good can we do around here?

The story of Easter, the story of the death and the resurrection of Jesus, is the one story that speaks to all of us. Jesus both confronts us and raises us up through it. No one is excluded. We can all celebrate this story. 

Small Steps: What is Jesus saying to me in his Word?

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead gives incredible hope for this life and a life to come. 

Have some hope

There is a big difference in how you treat an acquaintance, a friend, and a partner. You don't make a partner dig into your life or wait to find out what is going on. Your spouse or best friend gets to know what is going on because you need help. That's what a priest does. That's what Jesus does. Check out Hebrews 5:7-10

The perfect partner

John 13:21-30. Tonight we watch Judas' hands as they begin to weave a web of deceit and lies.
