Gospel for life with Nathaniel Timmermann

Practices of the Christian life: Hear the Word

How much has your life changed by key truths and ideas? To the extent you see the Bible as God's Word and not the word of people, it will influence your life. 

Practices of the Christian life: Forgive and reconcile

What makes it hard for you to be reconciled with people around you? I find it hard because it costs too much. Check out Luke 15:11-32 to see who is willing to help with the cost. 

Practices of the Christian life: Repent

Whether life is good or bad, there is one way to process it or handle it if we intend to grow closer to God. That is repentance. It is the conviction of two realities: that we deserve as much as death, but God is committed to saving us from what we deserve. Now is the time. 

Practices of the Christian life: Be still

Do you rest in the Lord? Or are you worried, anxious, and doing life on your own? It's time to rest in loving union with the Lord God. 

Practices of the Christian life: Resist sin

How do you practice your Christian life? There are some common practices of the Christian life. One of those practices is resisting sin. Are you up for the fight? 

Put your hope in God

Light from him gives light within

Is your life filled with light, or does darkness threaten to overwhelm you? Leave your shadow and darkness at the cross and the light from him give you light within. 

Let's eat!

In this age of outrage (see Jonathan Haidt) some find it hard to sit down with someone and have a good conversation. It doesn't need to be that way. Jesus stood in the middle of an age of outrage and welcomed sinners. He feeds us with a meal as the eternal host. 

 

 

The spiritual life: it's so much more

The spiritual life is the best life possible. It is so much more. 

The spiritual life: speak to help us grow

In tense moments, do you have something to say that will help build everyone up and help us grow? A truly spiritual life does. Speak to help us grow.
