The Humility of Greatness, Part 1
June 13, 2021
The identity we have as God's creation, and who He has made us to be in Christ defines our aspirations and dreams. We become who He has designed us to be. That is the core of humility.

Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

America and England are pretty safe places for faith, but in a global context, there are Christian brothers and sisters facing daily persecution. And there are concerning potential trajectories in the rest of the world that we need to be aware of. We need to make the most of the opportunities before us today.

The gospel reaches out to those who are excluded because of their background. In Christ, the dividing wall of hostility (between Jew and Gentile, slave and free, and across races and classes) is broken down.

There certainly are inauthentic followers of Jesus in the church today, but we don't need to go around being cynical and questioning motives. Instead, it’s a call to focus on own authentic following of him.

Stephen, the first Christian martyr, gave an extraordinarily powerful witness to Saul, who would later become Paul. The reality of suffering is used by God for great things. If you are struggling, be faithful and see what God does.

The storm we are going through is having a different impact depending upon the kind of foundation an individual already has in God's Word and in relationship with God. So there's a call to base our life on God's Word.

Sometimes we think of the Christian life as, "I bought the ticket; I'm going to heaven," but that's such a limited view. When you become a Christian, you enter into His kingdom and while you're still in the world with its battles, now you have a purpose and someone to live for.

Sometimes the healing that God offers is the peace that passes all understanding that enables us to go through physical sickness. Sometimes the healing is the joy unspeakable that allows us to rejoice in Jesus even during sickness. Emotional and spiritual healings are real healings!

We're not going to get out of this world without passing through death, unless Jesus returns. It is right to pray for healing, but we also need to pray that God is honored through life and through suffering and through death. That biblical foundation will allow us to stand firm, even in the midst of today's storm.

Some of us are better at encouragement than others. But it is critically important in church life for all of us to learn the power of encouragement, to learn to lift each other up and point each other forward, rather than tear each other down.

The book of Acts is paralleled with the book of Revelation. In Revelation, the curtian is drawn back and you see the spiritual opposition.
