Book: John

How might we approach evangelism? Come, walk with me. Share my life. And learn of Christ.

What is the goal of an apprentice? We have learned to be with Jesus and to become like Jesus. All of this is so that we can do as Jesus did…and does.

Where is your emotional home? What if it was Jesus? And what if you practiced his presence so that everywhere felt like home?

A sermon preached at Pleasant Valley Church of Christ (Little Rock, AR)

Go back before time. Before all galaxies. There He is. The spoken word creates all things. Can you see him?
That word became flesh. The incarnate one. The express image of gods glory. Can you see him?
Beyond presents and trees. Beyond ribbons and reindeers.is the true reason for the season. God in the flesh, Majesty in a manger, who came for you.

A tale of loss and gain, and a God who never forgets the good stuff.

The kingdom of God grow in the midst of the kingdoms of the world. The kingdom of God can be found in every country, consisting of those of every tribe, tongue, and nation. Think about the implications of this. Let’s learn the politics of Jesus.

Cast your eyes to the wheat field, to the stalks swaying in the wind. Will they simply waver through the summer til the autumn of their lives? Or will they be gathered and crushed, so that they, being few, may be planted in new soil and yield a harvest of plenty? It seems to go against every instinct—against our need for survival, and against common sense—to go against the grain. It’s also the way of the cross. But, then again, so is resurrection.

Imagine if that terrible moment—that mistake you relive over and over again in your mind—was erased from your record. Imagine if, like in some fantastic dream, you were loved without limit and forgiven forever. Imagine if you were accepted. Loved by the God who made you. Forgiven by the God who bought you. Declared innocent by the God who died for you. Imagine if there were no stones to throw.
