God isn’t just the God of the universe, he also is the God who wants us to know Him. Pastor Tim helps us think about this by turning to Exodus this week.
Why are we so fascinated with angels and the spiritual world as a culture but often pause when it comes to fully embracing who Jesus is? It isn’t necessarily a new problem.
Pastor Tim begins our journey through the Bible this year by turning to Genesis ch. 3.
Sin is really sticky — far more persistent than those obnoxious tags stuck on things that we struggle to get off. But, Jesus’s mission in this world was to do what we can’t: remove that sin from us.
God takes us as those who are lost in the dim darkness and offers us a light so overpowering that nothing can stop it — or His mission He sends us on.
Jesus shows us both His nature and a recognizable “name” so that we can understand Him — and understand what we really need to know.
We need something that lasts, not just a temporary banner of God’s love. Fortunately, that’s exactly what God provides for us.
Are we looking for the right thing and do we understand the right “time” for it? As we get everything synchronized for Christmas, the author of Hebrews encourages us to be synchronized with Christ.
We don’t want to simply know about a miracle that happened long ago and was forgotten thereafter. We need to know that there is a consistency in God’s care, too.
As we continue in Ephesians 2, Paul helps us to think about the difference between being called to do “good works” and earning God’s favor through our works.
