Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What are the sacraments or ordinances?”) as we start a section of the catechism considering Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
We forget so quickly—and when we forget what God has done, we start to feel alone. That’s exactly why, in Numbers 9, God tells Israel it’s time to keep the Passover: not because the exodus needs to happen again, but because his people need to taste his faithfulness again.
We live in a lost and wounded world, but what does that mean for us? As Christians, we should be known for our love. It’s time to shift our faith from an inward faith to an outward faith.
Do you believe the end is near? We are told to be prepared and to be patient. But in that patience, we also need to be urgent! Because the end is coming.
When Jesus comes again, what kind of body will rise up? God created all of heaven and earth, and He saw that it was good. That includes us! Even after sin and death entered the world, God made plans to transform us so we could reconcile with Him.
Jesus’ resurrection has massive implications for humanity. We have hope for today, tomorrow, and forever through his resurrection. All who have died in Christ will rise in Christ at his return.
Wouldn’t we all love a second chance? Jesus’ resurrection means that we have that second chance, third, or fourth. We are studying 1 Corinthians 15 and learning that the resurrection gospel is good news for anyone, any time, for any failure. That’s grace. And THAT is good news.
Do you believe the end is near? We are told to be prepared and to be patient. But in that patience, we also need to be urgent! Because the end is coming.
God fills you with the Spirit so you can be sent by the Spirit. Often we send people away that the Spirit sends us. Living in the spirit isn’t just for inward growth, it’s also for outward growth as well.
Jesus was baptized. What does that tell us about what it means to be a faithful follower of His?
