Gospel for life with Nathaniel Timmermann

The spiritual life: you are part of something greater

One of the great things in life that gives us purpose is to be part of something greater. But since we're so empty, the Spirit fills us with spiritual gifts. This way we're well equipped to be part of something far greater - the body of Christ. 

The spiritual life: appreciate the variety in a group of believers

Honor the right king

Who do you honor? This makes all the difference in the world. If you honor the wrong person, it will destroy you. But honor the true king and he will give you life and everything good. Honor the true and right king!

Connected Christians put on a show

I spend way too much time saying, "I'm not enough". And so I'm afraid to get connected to other people and I even fear we're disconnected. Jesus Christ became vulnerable to connect himself to us and reconnect us to one another. 

When God is missing, he comes in the Word

Where do you look for God when he seems missing? What could it do for you if you could find him? To find him, mind the gap. 

A Light in the Darkness

Can all the lights and the presents and the gifts and the cards be true and real and good? Can Christmas be real? 

Light in the Darkness: A World of Love

When you see your sin, what do you do? Do you run away from God or towards God? If you want to live, you'll run toward God. It is the one place where you can have life. That is how much God loves you. 

Light in the Darkness: A World of Joy

Countless people will tell me that they discover joy in doing the simplest things in life: giving food to people, sharing clothes, and just doing their job. How can that be? How can they do such simple stuff and still expect themselves and others to get better? They have experienced something special: the power of repentance. Repentance lets us expect to get better. Then the simplest stuff can do the most good.

Light in the Darkness: A World of Peace

I would suggest that peace is not tranquility, but it is wholeness. It is healthy relationships with the people around us and the rest of the world. Such peace is only possible through purification. Purified people experience peace with the people around them.
