We conclude our Spiritual Gifts focus week looking at the chief text on spiritual gifts of 1 Corinthians 12. Our aim is to see what gifts are for: the glory of God, the building of the body of Christ and the advance of the gospel, in tune with spiritual maturity, and used in love. Each of you has at least one Spirit-given gift. Probably more! Learn…

The first in a two-Sunday emphasis on how God has gifted us to worship and serve, we open with the question, "Who Can God Use?" Focusing on 1 Peter 2, we will see that the entire Bible answers this question with themes emerging from its first pages. We often think that there are certain parts of life, certain behaviors, even certain people that God…

We begin our final lap in Genesis, and a final scene before the Book of Exodus. In this final scene, it is time for final blessings. Jacob is almost home. Not almost dead, but almost home! He calls Joseph and his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. In a spiral of Gospel twists, he blesses Joseph as firstborn by adopting the two boys, so they can share the …

The Joseph story is nearing the conclusion. In Genesis 47, we now see the re-creating power of God at work as Joseph is reunited with his family and brings his family into Egypt so they can take possession of fruitful land. In fact, the text even says that in that place they are fruitful and multiply, as if this is an echo of Eden! The climax of th…

It is a family reunion for Jacob and Joseph! We finally arrive at a crescendo in our story as we see God's promises reinforced, as we see God protect His people, and as He provides to sustain them. We will journey together from Canaan to Egypt as the story whets our appetites for the One who is our ultimate Promise, Protection, and Provision!…

In Genesis 45, the brutal journey towards reconciliation finally hits the crescendo. The wall of self protection, distance, and shame comes crumbling down. And, the new foundation of grace is starting to be built. Brutal, yes. Possible... inevitable, as we stand on Jesus, the One who was sent in God's eternal providence, to suffer at our hands, so …

In Genesis 44, Joseph sets up a clear ruse. Isn't that a bit dodgy... even sinful? He seems to be entrapping his poor brothers. Well, remember that not every test is a trap. Some tests are all of love, designed to purify. This one is the latter. Yes, there is a ruse, but that ruse is leading to redemption and reconciliation by repentance and a clea…

How can men like Joseph's brothers enter into God's blessing? In part 2 of "The Brutal Journey Towards Reconciliation", we will see together how God's love and kindness can awaken even the hardest of hearts. Joseph's brothers did not deserve to be loved and yet they were loved by Joseph. Similarly, in Jesus Christ, despite our failures and sin, we …

Forgiving someone or people who have sinned against us deeply is one of the hardest human actions. Are you there? Is there someone or a list of people that you cannot imagine being able to forgive? And, do you struggle with guilt because of something you did? Repenting without knowing the outcome is also a really huge test of faith. This passage is…

One of my mentors once said that patience is trusting God's work in other people's lives. So true! Every time I am tempted to be the Holy Spirit, I remember that truth. This principle is also true for patience in hard situations. When in tests, I need to believe that God is at work in each and every circumstance and that even my tests are part of H…

Faithfulness can be lonely. Faithfulness can lead us to places where others don't want to be and don't want to remember, especially when others are rescued and want to focus on their normal lives. Joseph is in that place in Genesis 30. The last line says it all: "The chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him." There's such pain in tha…

We're back in Genesis! Chapter 39. We are going to look at God's recipe for success. Now, don't worry, I am not turning into THAT preacher! But seriously, this passage is about success - true success. Joseph is enslaved, tempted, and imprisoned, and yet in all that the Lord is with him and the Lord gives Joseph success - the success of obedience, m…

We are at the end of 2nd Corinthians and Paul is giving a last appeal to his beloved Corinthians with a warning and encouragement - a warning to examine ourselves and an encouragement to rejoice because Jesus Christ is in us! Friends - in the light of all we heard this summer, are you ready to embrace your cross?…

One thing that proves to me I am not making up this gospel stuff is how counter intuitive and counter culture and "counter Jay Thomas" the gospel is. 2 Corinthians 12 is the highpoint of the letter and it has been used of God profoundly in my life. Paul states the truth as clearly as he can: our weaknesses are gifts God gives us so that in our empt…

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 2 Corinthians 11 is a weird, exceptional, ironic, and one-off chapter. Paul, having just dropped the mic by saying we cannot boast in our selves but only in the Lord, now goes onto to boast about himself. But here's the thing - he acknowledges the temporary foolishness of his approach, and yet its vital …

The church of Corinth had been infiltrated with false apostles essentially preaching a “ALL crown and NO cross” gospel and they were turning congregants against Paul by discrediting his apostleship. In this final section of the letter, Paul pivots toward the infiltrators and their detractors, but all the while pointing the church toward Christ. For…

Finances are an important part of our lives, with money being both an asset and a temptation. In chapter 8 of his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul encourages his readers to excel in this act of grace, that is, in being generous to supply the needs of others. Join us as we reflect on the generosity of Jesus and as we are challenged to lead gen…

Have you ever wondered what a pastor's deepest desire is for his congregation? It is for you to know the Truth (Christ) and to enjoy the gift of His salvation (through the Spirit given to those who are saved). In this portion of the book of Corinthians, we see the pastoral heart of Paul, showing the church when the truth is taught, some will receiv…

When you hear the word HOLINESS, what comes to mind? For many it conveys rigidity, fundamentalism, legalism, repression, and old-school "boomer" Christianity. One problem. Jesus is really big on holiness. The Scripture is full of calls to holiness. But, as Inigo Montoya once said: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it…

Sorrowful yet always rejoicing. Really?!? Really. That was Paul's song. That is the pastor's song; the kid's ministry team's song; the song of the elder and deacon. That is the song for every Christian who wants to be ALL IN with Jesus. To be of the kingdom means rejection, slander, betrayal, and general hardship. That is rough. It brings real sorr…
