Jesus, Tried For Us (For Us)

April 2, 2017

In a just world, the court system exists to examine facts and determine the guilt or innocence of a person on trial. But this is not a just world. All too often, staged trials are held with predetermined outcomes. After Jesus was arrested, he went before several so-called courts in rapid succession. He endured these trials for one reason: that He might give His life for us.

When Judas gave Jesus that fateful kiss, he was aiding those who wanted to kill the Son of God. In putting him to death, the enemies of Christ unwittingly made our redemption possible.

The Bible tells us to “remember the Lord’s death until He comes.” We do this every year during Holy Week, and, every time we join together for The Lord’s Supper. His death paid the price for our sins, a death we’ll commemorate throughout eternity. What He did during those last fateful days was done for us - undeserving sinners. May we be reminded of how far God went so that we might be redeemed.

Sooner or later, the government will tell us to do something we cannot do as Christians. Or, they’ll prohibit us from doing things we must do as believers. While we have a clear obligation to both church and state, how do we handle the conflicts that inevitably arise? Let’s discover some light for the dark days that may be ahead.

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two people are alike. We are all different, and that diversity adds a richness to life. But it also adds a set of problems. When two people don’t get along, even two Christians, what do you do? Here’s a solution for those difficult people in your life, and mine.

From the outside looking in, the Christian church is hardy unified. There are more variations and denominations emerging every day, leading one to wonder what doctrine is “most correct.” In this message, we will learn how we can discern truth from error, and make wise choices regarding our place of worship.

When Christians stand for truth in a pluralistic culture, conflict is inevitable. Increasingly, that conflict is with our own government. This is the first of four messages on Christians in Conflict, and how we should live in view of those conflicts.

It’s human nature to want to be in control and to manipulate circumstances in our favor. The Old Testament patriarch Jacob was a schemer who sought to gain every advantage he could. It took a dramatic intervention in his life for him to realize that God was in control, and not himself. The lesson he learned is our lesson to learn as well.

The internet brings pornography to anyone who wants it. This inflames desires and leads to sexual addictions–a good reason why the Bible tells us to guard our hearts. Let’s explore the mind of an addict, and recognize the steps we should take to be free of an addiction fueled by the technology that is so readily available to us.
February 5, 2017
There’s no doubt: Christians are torn. Either we abandon a technology we can’t live without, and become so isolated from culture as to have no impact at all, or risk exposure to violence and sexual images while trying to engage the world we live in. Here is some guidance from 2 Corinthians 6.

Like everyone else, Christians are drowning in a sea of moral impurity. Peer pressure makes young people text all day long. Social media is replacing face-to-face communication. Our addiction to technology and the rapid breakdown in morality go hand in hand. Yet the grace of God gives us a way out of this mess.
