Gospel for life with Nathaniel Timmermann

Disruption: The power of God

How powerful are you? Are you able to be productive and produce the growth you would like to see in life? Or do you need another power to be at work in you?

 

Disruption: Breaking the rules

Do you like to break the rules? Do you get mad at people who break the rules? Jesus breaks the rules as he introduces the gospel to his people. He shows us how to break the rules correctly, how the rules are kept, and how we can create rules.

 

Disruption: The heart of the problem

Do you tackle the external problems of life (money, job, health, education) or the internal problems first? How do you know if everything is going okay? Check out the one who figured out how to really solve the problems of life.

Disruption: The rule of the King

How do you feel about someone having authority or power over you? Would you accept someone else's rule? What kind of a rule would you accept? We hear whom Jesus rules over (people he chooses), we hear where he rules (the church and spiritual world), and we hear how he rules (with healing and renewal).

 

 

Disruption: A New King brings a New Kingdom

Sometimes we want a disruption in life, sometimes we're sick of disruptions. The gospel is one of those great disruptions that will really shake up who we are and what we do. It's biographical, mission minded, and kingdom driven. This is the beginning of a study of the gospel of Mark. Looking forward to seeing you for more!

Joyful Generosity: Accountable, Regular, Proportional, and Missional

Do you have a plan for your giving? I think we should have one. Otherwise money will always rule over us.

Joyful Generosity: Joyful and Generous

Can you remain joyful even as you are generous? I'm more likely to be bitter and generous. Here are two things for your generosity: grace and integrity.

 

 

Joyful Generosity: Abundance vs Scarcity

"It's not enough." Is that how you tend to think about life? Isn't it time to think differently?

 

 

Follow: the purpose

Does your life have a purpose or is it irrelevant? When we follow Jesus, we have a great purpose in our lives. We get to connect with people and bring them into a place of grace.

Follow: the clothing

How are we recognized as Jesus followers? Christians don't have culturally distinctive homes, jobs, or clothing. Instead, Christians are clothed with distinctive character: compassion, patience, humility, gentleness, and kindness. It is hard to stay clothed in these items, but the power of forgiveness will change us.
