RUF at Wake Forest

Senior Night 2021

Can Jesus really handle our mess? Hear Ellis Keifer reflect on how Jesus did not wait for her to get her mess together, but that he met her in the midst of it. Hear her teach that He will meet you, too.

Ellis’s Farewell Talk | Mark 5:21-34 | Ellis Keifer

What does God actually think about us? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that God delights over and rejoices in those who believe in Jesus. Judgement day has passed—God enjoys being with you.

Postcards from the Edge | 8 - What Does God Really Think of Us? | Zephaniah 3:14-20

Why did a good God allow sin into his good world? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that God allowed sin into the world because redemption is better than perfection. God is not waiting for you to finally get it right; He wants to redeem you to be a part of his kingdom that comes as far as the curse is found.

Postcards from the Edge | 8 - Israel on Trial | Micah 6:1-8

What does God think of you? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that we are all covered in the excrement of our sin, Jesus cleans us and clothes us in garments of white. And so we can live with him, unashamed and unafraid.

Postcards from the Edge | 7 - New Clothes | Zechariah 3:1-10

Will God deal with evil in the world? Hear Matt Williams preach that we experience evil everyday, both evil that is done to us and evil that we do to others. We all deserve judgement. But on the cross, Jesus broke the power of evil and saved us in the process.

Postcards from the Edge | 6 - Obadiah's Judgement | Obadiah 1:1-9 | Matt Williams

Why do Christians repent? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that Christianity is fundamentally about repentance. It is a lifestyle of confessing our sin to God and each other, knowing that we will be met with forgiveness and restoration.

Postcards from the Edge | 5 - Repentance and Restoration | Joel 2:12-17

How can I be happy? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that happiness comes from remembering God’s goodness. The only way to remember is repetition—continually being reminded that God is good. Seeking happiness anywhere else will just torture us because we are not our fantasy selves.

Postcards from the Edge | 4 - Habbakuk's Question | Habbakuk 1:2-4, 3:16-19

Do you want justice to roll down? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that yes, we all yearn for justice on a deep level, but we find in the Bible that we ourselves are the perpetrators of injustice. The Christian is the one who’s injustice has been forgiven, and who works alongside Jesus for justice in this world.

Postcards from the Edge | 3 - Amos's Judgement | Amos 5:4-15, 18-27

Does God love you like Hosea loves his wife? Yes! Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that we have been sold like slaves on the auction block of sin, but when all seemed lost, God sent Jesus Christ to buy us at the cost of his own life. We are his.

Postcards from the Edge | 1 - Hosea's Story | Hosea 3:1-5 | Rev. John Bourgeois

Are we too numb? Do we have hearts that get angry at evil and long for good? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach about the reality of a deep evil in our world, and the reality of a Good that is more just, deep, and splendid than we would dare imagine.

Postcards from the Edge | 1 - Jonah’s Story | Jonah 3:1-10 | Rev. John Bourgeois

Is your life built on a weak foundation?  Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that most of us have built our life on a foundation that will crack, but that Jesus offers himself as a foundation that will bring us ultimate security.

Living Upside Down | 12 - A Firm Foundation | Matthew 7:24-29 | Rev. John Bourgeois

Are you following Jesus in the Kingdom of God, or are you serving Satan’s empire? Hear Dakota Lee preach that there are only two ways to live, and that Jesus is calling us into his kingdom, free of charge.

Living Upside Down | 11 - The Upside Down Way | Matthew 7:13-23 | Dakota Lee

Would you throw a birthday party for prostitutes, or would you silently condemn them and go on with your day? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that Jesus does not judge those who are on the bottom of society, but the judgers. Life with Jesus does not mean keeping the immoral out, but welcoming everyone as He has welcomed you.

Living Upside Down | 10 - Upside Down Judgement | Matthew 7:1-14

W.H. Auden says, “If the moths don’t get you, the wolves will.” Are you feeling anxious? Hear Rev. John Bourgeois preach that all of us are anxious about our treasure — something the moths or wolves can destroy. Our life in the Kingdom of God is a treasure that no one can touch.

Living Upside Down | 9 - Upside Down Treasure | Matthew 6:18-34 | Rev. John Bourgeois
