Gospel for life with Nathaniel Timmermann

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.

Follow: the attitude

What's your attitude when you follow? Fearful or fearless?

Follow: the invitation

Does religion strike you as a little odd or strange? Sometimes people do things that seem off to people from the outside. And maybe that is how Christianity strikes you. But there is a simple word for the Christian life: follow. When we follow someone that wants to be with us, that isn't od or strange. That is a life-changing relationship.

Defined by his success!

What defines us? What makes us us? When life is so full of failures and successes, we need someone else's success to tell us who we are!

Done for you

A Good Friday poem. The wonder of Christ.

A servant King

Who wants a king? I would take one if he actually pays attention to me.

I love my church: I get Jesus

What would you give up to get some glory, wonder, and majesty? The most foolish thing in the world is that someone would give up the highest place ever. This is what Jesus has done. In the aftermath, what's left? Just Jesus. And you can have him.

Jesus Christ our High Priest makes us priests

If you think you have access to God, he hears your prayers, you experience intimacy with him, and you can urge others, somewhat on his behalf, to do good -- if you think you can do all that -- are you confident? Let's get some confidence.
