The Purpose For His Choosing
God chose to set his love, his covenant mercies upon a particular people. From the very beginning of the demonstration of his mercies given to Adam and Eve, God promised that there would come one from the seed of Eve who would crush the serpent's head. The continuous fulfillment of this promise is highlighted in Noah and Abraham. This is the only hope for the people of the whole earth--God's covenant people through whom God brings righteousness and justice. In Genesis 18:16-21 God announces the purpose he had in choosing Abraham. In particular, it has to do with what Abraham and his descendants are to be doing. By addressing a question to the angels that have accompanied him in his visit to Abraham, the Lord is calling upon Abraham to participate with him in the Lord's establishment of righteousness and justice on the earth. This will mean two basic things for Abraham and his descendants: Instruction in God's word and Intercession in God's world. We too must answer the question: Are we concerned with what concerns God--the establishment of righteousness and justice on the whole earth?
The Resurrection - Easter
A short Easter message from Pastor Nolan on the resurrection; what it means for Christians now and in the future.
The Cup
The Cross of Christ greatly displays the glory of God. By it, God’s perfections/attributes shine forth with an eminent brilliance. We will briefly examine two of God’s perfections, which the cross displays, namely His strictest justice and infinite love.
Jesus said He was the Christ - What say you? - Mark 14:53-65
The Sanhedrin was there at their trial of Jesus to make a judgment. The entire trial was a sham. It was completely a miscarriage of any semblance of justice. However, there is one sliver of legitimacy to this trial. “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” That is what the Sanhedrin had to make a judgment upon. Remember, Jesus is in complete control of all of these events. They did not turn Judas; Jesus sent him. They did not forcibly arrest Jesus – he allowed them to arrest him. He has not answered any question that he has not wanted to answer. Why answer this question. I think that the reason that he answered this question was because he wanted to. So, why would he want to answer this specific question? All of those other questions where abstractions. I don’t think Jesus wanted to be convicted on any abstraction of the law. Remember, Jesus intends to be convicted. Jesus is not answering questions so that somehow he will not be convicted. He plans on being convicted. If you plan on being convicted, what then is very important? The charge! Jesus wants the charge to be the correct charge. That means the question has to be the right question. Jesus has done a lot of things in his ministry that they could have convicted him on. He does not want to be convicted on an abstraction. He is waiting for the right charge. To get to the charge, he needs the right question. He was waiting for this question. Are you the Christ? This is the most important judgment that anyone can make, “is Jesus the Christ”. The way you answer that question is the most important decision that any person can make. There are some who will deny that he is. There are some who will believe what he says. There are some who will say that they don’t know. There are some who will say that it doesn’t matter. The question is before us all, just like the question that was asked Peter and the Disciples. Christ is asking all of us, “who do you say that I am”? You can read how Jesus answered that question. Do you believe him; do you trust him; do you know him; will you follow him; the Son of God, the great I AM.
See You In Court
Ronnie discusses how when we are called by Jesus and two or more are gathered together there WILL BE CONFLICT. Too much and too little conflict are dysfunctional. Because we are in Christ, dispute resolution can be one of our strengths. We are not to sue each other in public courts and our personal rights should not supersede Christ and His Church. Unresolved conflict damages our influence, but there is a huge difference between personal and criminal matters. Personal matters should be resolved "in-house". When we pursue healthy conflict resolution, we stand out like starts in a dark universe.
Safety and Satisfaction
With the Messiah as our model, men can step out and foster safety and satisfaction and hope for the people in our lives.
