A World Without Joy Dec 07, 2014

Show notes

Because if we took Jesus out of the world, what would we have left? A world a where our selfishness is excused and even celebrated, a world where our sorrows are numbed but never cured, a world where chaos and confusion are the order of the day, a world where the fate of everyone would only be death and meaninglessness. That's the world without Jesus.

But the world with Jesus is radically different: his life gives joy, his rule brings peace, his death defines love, and his resurrection sustains hope. Love, joy, peace, and hope—they are Jesus' gifts to the world, and he gives them freely to all who come to him.

For centuries God prepared his people for the coming of his Son, Jesus, the promised Messiah and Lord of all creation. His birth marked the dawn of redeeming grace and a turning point in the history of the world. Centuries later his coming is still celebrated during Advent and Christmas, the season for remembering that Jesus is the foundation for everything.

Make a Decision Nov 23, 2014

Show notes

The life of Jesus pushes us off the fenceposts of doubt and indecision, calling us to make up our minds about him. For even the refusal to decide actually is a decision when it comes to him: "Whoever is not with me is against me," he warns (Luke 11:23).
That is why Jesus says, "Seek and you will find" (Matthew 7:7). And he says, "The truth will set you free" (John 8:32), since he knows where the truth is found: "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).
The choice is clear: "How long will you waver, limping between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him!" (1 Kings 18:21). This is the inescapable decision that Jesus puts before us all. "Choose this day whom you will serve" (Joshua 24:15), for "No one can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24). Jesus says to us even now, "Come, follow me."
