Summer in the Psalms - Part 7 Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Psalm 23 is a powerful journal entry by David that emphasizes themes of comfort, rest, and guidance provided by God, portrayed as a shepherd. Chris appreciates the Psalms for their stand-alone thoughts and feelings, likening them to personal journal entries of his own. Hear how this Psalm resonates Chris’s life experiences, particularly feelings of insecurity and the journey of personal growth. The passage explores the idea of rest in God, drawing parallels to Jesus’s invitation to the weary.

Chris poses three key questions regarding one's life journey:

1. **What do you lack?** - Emphasizing trust in God as a source of rest and assurance that believers "lack nothing" under His guidance.

2. **Where is your life directing you?** - Highlighting the importance of recognizing the narrow paths leading to Jesus, who offers abundant life despite life's challenges.

3. **Are you being a participant or a spectator?** - Encouraging engagement in one's relationship with God, living with purpose, and finding peace amid struggles.

God, Show Me Your Ways
Summer in the Pslams - Part 1 by Pastor Aaron McRae
Discerning between good advice and bad advice, even from well-intentioned individuals, is hard. How can you trust God's timing and accept when God says 'no' or 'not yet'? Trusting in God's paths, even during difficult times, is a key theme in the Psalm we explore in this message.

Concerning Jesus: Gospel of Mark Recap Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

The entire story of Jesus through the book of Mark focused on the shocking claim that puzzled Jesus’ disciples all throughout the story, that the suffering, crucified, and now risen Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God. God’s love and Upside-Down Kingdom were revealed when Jesus died for the sins of the world. The story ends without closure, forcing the us to grapple with this strange and scandalous claim. Will we run away like the disciples, or will we recognize the crucified Jesus as our King? Will we go forth and tell the good news? We have to answer these questions for ourselves, and that’s exactly what the Gospel of Mark is prompting us to do.

Concerning Jesus: Mark Chapter 16 May 27, 2024

Show notes

Mark 16, the final chapter of the gospel of Mark, focuses on the resurrection of Jesus, the most important event in the formation of faith in Jesus in the early church. The chapter begins with Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome going to anoint Jesus' body but being surprised by the empty tomb and encountering a young man who tells them that Jesus has risen.

The resurrection is a declaration and revelation, not just a historical fact. It signifies victory over sin and death, providing believers with ultimate hope and justification.

The chapter concludes with the women trembling and bewildered, highlighting human inadequacy and the need for God's work through Jesus. The disciples are given a divine mandate to go and make disciples of all nations, emphasizing living with purpose and spreading the message of the resurrection.

Noteworthy moments included darkness covering the land, Jesus' cry to the Father, the tearing of the temple curtain symbolizing access to God through Jesus, a Roman soldier acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God, and women witnessing Jesus' burial and discovering the empty tomb. These events challenge societal norms and highlight Jesus' universal significance beyond personal expectations.
