This epilogue forms one of the most heinous, uncomfortable and depraved stories in the whole of Scripture. And it serves to shed light on the reality of life & community & identity apart from God. The narrator illuminates the reality of evil and its devastating consequences on religious life, on community & on the individual. But tucked into this tale of blood & gore & civil war, there's a remarkable story of grace. Tenacious grace that's stronger than utter depravity. Yet we're left with the bitter aftertaste of life without a King & Savior. Judges concludes with its oft-repeated cadence: in those days there was no king in Israel; and everyone did what was right in his own eyes. But this is not the end. For a True King, a True Deliverer, a True Judge is coming. Come Lord Jesus, come.

So since we are on the edge of several months of study in the particularly violent Old Testament book of Judges, We decided that it would be helpful for us to come to a better understanding of the God who is love, but who is also responsible for what we read in these passages. https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/June122011.mp3 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 00:00:00 PST 39:29 Dating and Marriage (Part 2) https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/June52011.mp3 Speaker: Kris Martens Title: Dating & Marriage (Part 2) Date: June 5, 2011 Kris Martens Speaker: Kris Martens Title: Dating & Marriage (Part 2) Date: June 5, 2011 https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/June52011.mp3 Sun, 05 Jun 2011 00:00:00 PST 42:40 Dating and Marriage (Part 1) https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/May292011.mp3 Speaker: Kris Martens Title: Dating & Marriage (Part 1) Date: May 29, 2011 Kris Martens Speaker: Kris Martens Title: Dating & Marriage (Part 1) Date: May 29, 2011 https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/May292011.mp3 Sun, 29 May 2011 00:00:00 PST 48:15 Gospel Gender and Identity https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/May152011.mp3 Speaker: Kris Martens Title: Gospel Gender & Identity Date: May 15, 2011 Texts: Romans 1, I Peter 2, Genesis 2 & 3, Ephesians 2:1-10 ...although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ...Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, Romans 1:21,24-25 In this 2nd week of our series on the Gospel & sex in our culture, we'll unpack the state of our culture's confusion related to gender, roles & identity. We'll look at the church's historical understanding of, and response to gender & identity - and spend time addressing the reality of homosexuality and varied orientations influencing our culture. It is my great conviction that the church has to get this one right - if it is to have a relevant & effective Gospel response in our city. We need a robust theology of identity that is biblical, gospel-centred, God-glorifying, fully-satisfying - and that doesn't elevate particular sins & sinners into separate categories. Starting with the creation story in Genesis and moving through the New Testament, we'll see how God's design for our identity & roles in relationships was always rooted in Him, as Triune. We were made for so much more than our culture suggests, and we so easily settle for cheap counterfeits. Let's live in the freedom, joy & expression that Jesus calls us to - and in doing so - be Good News to our city. There is so much brokenness in the world of sex, much of it coming from confusion surrounding our understanding of gender. The gospel of Jesus brings us badly needed clarity.

Is there really a gospel reason to love this idea of family and to joyfully embrace the rigours of the Christian life which, for most, will include the challenge of parenting? YES. The longer and deeper we look into gospel, the more clearly we will see that this whole concept of family is a beautiful thing in God's mind, a beautiful thing that he is calling all of us to be a part of. This morning we are going to look at the gospel from three different directions, and as we do I hope God will birth in you a love for him, that grows so deep that your love for your self begins to dim and fade away.

It is my great conviction that the church has to get this one right - if it is to have a relevant & effective Gospel response in our city. We need a robust theology of sex that is biblical, gospel -centered, God glorifying, fully-satisfying - and that doesn't turn sex into an idol or into something dirty or gross. Starting with the creation story in Genesis, we'll see how God's design was not for sexual desire to be killed, but directed towards marriage & fuly enjoyed. Sex was God's idea. We were designed to be naked without shame in the context of covenant marriage (Gen 2:24-25) We were created for love to be expressed in a beautiful God-designed rhythm - that moved from companionship & commitment to sexual intimacy. Sexual intimacy is not simply an act between 2 bodies, it is the intimate mingling of souls. We were made for so much more than our culture suggests. Let's live in the freedom & joy that Jesus calls us to - and in doing so - be Good News to our city.

Considering most of the New Testament letters to follow are dedicated to exposing the folly of the early church, the picture from Acts 2 didn't last long. And no wonder - how would we handle 3000 new believers overnight? Who'd do the cooking? Who'd do the teaching? Who'd clean up the mess? Who'd do the laundry? Who's deal with the kids? Who's deal with the tambourine lady. or the guy with the handbells? The early church was a beautiful mess - filed with the Spirit -trained by the best - but a redemptive, beautiful, life giving, contagious mess. Today we'll simply look at the Jesus community depicted in Acts 2 - its elements, its character, its fruit - and the current cultural & spiritual barriers to truly living in the Fellowship of the King.

He gathers us up, dusts us off, and says you are my child now, because of Jesus I forgive you and I love you. God's people have certain unmistakable qualities. Today we look at three of those.

And may we place our hesitations & skepticisms under the microscope of Lukes truth claims. May we walk in the Light. Kris Martens Date: 01.16.11 Preacher: Kris Martens Title: Are you Aware? ... I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning... so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. Luke 1:3-4 niv Throughout Lukes account of the Gospel, his goal has been to bring certainty to those reading this work (Luke 1:1-4). Luke is a man of science, facts, answers. He knows hypotheses & how easy it is to disprove false or convenient ones. He also recognizes the magnitude of the claims of Jesus. So he interviews & investigates in great detail, double-triple checking sources - all to give us an account of Jesus life - death - resurrection that can be trusted. He wants to share Truth. He wants us to question, but he wants us to believe. Luke 24, on the road to Emmaus, is his summary - bringing in some of his major themes of his book. It is a wonderful, moving story. It is both a proclamation of the resurrection, and an explanation of the empty tomb. May we learn from this account what it means to walk with our Rabbi, Lord & Saviour, Jesus.

Our roots go down deep into Gods book, it is here that we are filled with hope as we come to love Gods story. We break the soil and grow upward as a healthy tree when we discover our true identity as Gods family.

We'll also explore the seeming contradiction of Pain and Joy - and how they are an intricate part of the Gospel narrative.

The one who believes in me will live, even though they die John 11:25 niv The literal resurrection of Jesus is one of the most disputed claims of his life & ministry - as quite literally, the entire Christian faith hinges on its reality. Disprove the resurrection of Jesus and you the whole things falls apart. The apostle Paul says exactly that in his 1st letter to the Corinthian church... ( '... if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.' I Cor 15:17) Despite the wonder & power of the resurrection - it is all too common for Christians to emphasize the cross alone - somehow disconnecting it from the resurrection. Yet that's not what we see in recorded biblical sermons - where the 2 always went together. The good news & glory of the empty cross & empty tomb should be the highlight of every sermon, every lesson, every song & every gathering of our community. In this sermon, we'll look at Jesus' resurrection through the lens of Luke and highlight what he emphasized. In particular, the radical faith & reckless folly of the major characters who witnessed the crucifixion.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:9-11 niv The crucifixion of Jesus is the central point of history, literally the crux of the grand narrative we find ourselves in.

This included verbal jabs, visual punches (the sign, the robe, the crown) & physical blows (beard-pulling, spitting, etc). The mockery of Jesus was relentless - designed to shame the person & work of the Messiah. It was also prophesied & necessary to the completion of the Missio Dei. In this sermon we'll look at the dynamics of mockery in the Bible & in our own context, working towards a theology of scorn. We'll explore how mockery WAS used (both abusively-by man, & redemptively-by God), how it IS used, WHY it's used and WHEN mockery may indeed be acceptable. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears; I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away. I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting. Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser?

This week well look specifically at the older brothers condition, the signs that demonstrate it (so we can recognize them in ourselves), and what we can do about them. Most importantly, well see Jesus as the necessary, true & perfect older brother. My prayer is that through the story of this father & son - well have our sin, idolatry & religious folly exposed - and be encouraged by the response of the father, and the wonder of grace.

Over the next 3 weeks we'll look at the idea of being LOST and of being FOUND, and we'll explore the character of the Pursuer and the pursued. In the first section (vv.1-10), Jesus teaches on lost sheep and a lost coin, but the key factor is His audience - consisting of sinners, tax collectors, pharisees and scribes. Their presence and cultural significance in the 1st century have profound implications to our own walk as spiritual seekers and sojourners. That this conversation happens should push us to rethink our life, purpose and meaning. My prayer is that, as we become the audience, Jesus would destroy any categories or assumptions we have regarding sin, the Gospel, salvation and the Kingdom of God - and that we would see Jesus as the Great Shepherd, and as the Forgiving Father who searches for lost sinners and throws extravagant parties when they're found.

Matthew 23:12 NIV "Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self." Charles H Spurgeon While our society tells us that we should jostle for the best positions and be full of self-interest in order to succeed, Jesus makes it clear throughout the gospels that God's Kingdom works completely differently. Rather than be full of self-interest, Jesus commands us to be self- sacrificing. Rather than be served from lofty positions, we are to be meek and serve others. When Jesus told parables there was often a religious person and a "sinful person". To the shock of His hearers, the "sinner" was the one whose sins would be forgiven, who would be accepted by God. Again this is the case. The proud, God will make low. The humble, God will exalt. And true Christians humility finds itself at the cross of Jesus. We are humbled when the cross is in view because we recognize our dependence on the grace of God. It is there that we receive grace and it is there that we find peace.

Through the text in Luke 13, we'll see: 1. the mystery & reality of the Kingdom [past] 2. the mystery surrounding who's in & who's not [future] 3. some straightforward implications for us all [present] https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/11-Kingdom.mp3 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 00:00:00 PST 46:29 Nothing Less https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/04-NothingLess.mp3 Date: 10.04.04 Speaker: Kris Martens Texts: John 20 Title: Nothing Less Nothing Less | The Great Reality of Easter Texts: John 20:25-29; 21:17-19; Luke 24:38-47; Acts 2:23-25; 1 Peter 1:3-9 Kris Martens - Reality Date: 10.04.04 Speaker: Kris Martens Texts: John 20 Title: Nothing Less Nothing Less | The Great Reality of Easter Texts: John 20:25-29; 21:17-19; Luke 24:38-47; Acts 2:23-25; 1 Peter 1:3-9 https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/04-NothingLess.mp3 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:00:00 PST 39:06 Repent https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/28-Repent.mp3 Date: 10.03.28 Speaker: Kris Martens Texts: Luke 13:1-9 Title: Repent I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right.

Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." - Jesus Luke 12:15 NIV 'Greed is good' - Wall Street (1995) Jesus talks about money, riches & greed more than any other subject - and the Bible references the poor & oppressed over 2100 times. His disciples had little question as to His priorities: kingdom living - freeing the poor, oppressed & those in slavery - pushing back the darkness of sin, religion & idolatry - and eventually making all things new. Many of His stories involved a contrast between rich & poor - haves & have-nots - with Jesus almost always siding with the poor while likening the rich to camels squeezing through needles. I wonder today... if the church addressed money as often & as forcefully as Jesus did with his disciples - if it would lead to empty pews or full-on revival? Maybe we should find out...In this mornings text, Jesus will address money & greed specifically - warning us of its power, & deception over our hearts. He'll brazenly confront our comfortable western culture - where few even acknowledge greed as an 'issue' - while we spend time & energy worrying about clothes, housing & food. Jesus will call for generosity, good works and being rich towards God. We will then look at the only thing able to break the power of money over us: the Gospel itself. note: credit to pastor Tim Keller (Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC) for some of the main points & Gospel-application.

They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.' Zechariah 13:9 Jesus came into the world as Gods divine plan for the redemption of the world. Jesus, on the cross, made a way for us to approach the Father: through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross, rising 3 days later. And that victory will be fully realized upon Christs return. Hes coming again. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to figure out when exactly He will return and what exactly will happen when He does. Scripture tells us everything that we need to know, and leaves out details that we don't. What we know is that Jesus is coming again and we are instructed [in Luke 12:35-59] to be ready. Most practically, we are instructed to have faith in Jesus and that faith will display itself in the way we live our day-to-day lives. Then, when the Master returns, He will find us faithful and He will serve us at the great banquet table (12:37), which is our eternity with Him!

While this may fool some people, it never fools Jesus. He relentlessly pursues our hearts with his tenacious, ferocious love. He gently addresses those who approach him in humility & brokenness - but to those who approach with religion and put up barriers to His life - Jesus goes Old Testament. In this sermon we'll look at Jesus and some religious leaders & teachers. It'll be a contrast between the burden & drudgery of religion and the grace & joy of the Gospel. My prayer is that it leads to repentance - for those who struggle with sin & for those who struggle with religion. The cross of Christ is big enough for both - and His grace is deep enough to transform the most broken, and most religious sinner.

Luke's Gospel is filled with accounts of Jesus praying & teaching on prayer. Tragically, prayer has become a subject of much guilt & avoidance in the Christian church today. Frankly, many Christians remain in a state of spiritual immaturity because they have an undeveloped prayer life - only talking with God when in crisis or when busted. Some feel intimidated by those who pray with great eloquence & skill - not realizing that Jesus taught repeatedly on the folly of such a spectacle. In this sermon we'll look at the WHAT - WHEN - WHERE of prayer and then unpack the HOW using the pattern of prayer Jesus taught his disciples.

Psalm 103:8 The parable of the ?good Samaritan? is one of Jesus? most famous, most embraced & most controversial. It puts flesh & blood on the greatest commandments: to love God and love our neighbours. And in doing so, challenges the religious and the well-intentioned: those with big heads - big hearts & big hands. In the parable, Jesus emphasizes that both Gospel messaging (preaching & teaching) & Gospel neighbouring (mercy & justice) are essential to this new way of living. May we embrace His call and his challenge to proclaim the spiritual reality of Jesus - engaging the minds of our neighbours, and to do so with radical compassion - meeting the physical needs of our neighbours, near & far. And may we see ourselves as the broken & needy, and Jesus as the Great Samaritan - who at great cost, reconciled us through the cross.

We'll look at both the gift of singleness and the joy of marriage, and some of the biblical guidelines for moving from the former to the latter. This will be one of the more practical sermons thus far at Reality, taking on more of a pastoral / counselor tone. If you're not married but would like to be, this may act as some pre-marital counseling. If you're married but less than satisfied, some of this material may give you and your husband/wife much to pray about & work through together. If you're married and are in bliss, consider yourself blessed by God. That's what your marriage was intended for. My prayer is that whether you're divorced, married, single, widowed, or some combination thereof - and whether you are submitted to Jesus as Lord or not - that this message will resonate in your heart & soul. You were made for so much more. You are an image bearer of Jesus - and your relationships either point people towards Jesus or away from Him. Turn to Jesus & receive forgiveness for the past & hope for the future.

It is my great conviction that the church has to get this one right - if it is to have a relevant & effective Gospel response in our city. We need a robust theology of sex that is biblical, Gospel-centred, God-glorifying, fully-satisfying - and that doesnt turn sex into an idol or into something dirty or gross. Starting with the creation story in Genesis, well how Gods design from the beginning was not for sexual desire to be killed, but directed towards marriage & fully enjoyed. Sex was God's idea. That we were designed to be naked without shame - in the context of covenant marriage (Gen 2:24-25). And that we were created for love to be expressed in a beautiful God-designed rhythm - that moved from companionship & commitment to sexual intimacy. So that sexual intimacy is not simply an act between 2 bodies, it is the intimate mingling of souls. We were made for so much more than our culture suggests. Lets live in the freedom & joy that Jesus calls us to - and in doing so - be Good News to our city.

We need a robust theology of sex that is biblical, Gospel-centred, God-glorifying, fully-satisfying - and that doesnt turn sex into an idol or into something dirty or gross. Starting with the creation story in Genesis, well how Gods design from the beginning was not for sexual desire to be killed, but directed towards marriage & fully enjoyed. Sex was God's idea. That we were designed to be naked without shame - in the context of covenant marriage (Gen 2:24-25). And that we were created for love to be expressed in a beautiful God-designed rhythm - that moved from companionship & commitment to sexual intimacy. So that sexual intimacy is not simply an act between 2 bodies, it is the intimate mingling of souls. We were made for so much more than our culture suggests. Lets live in the freedom & joy that Jesus calls us to - and in doing so - be Good News to our city. https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/091108-m4m-gospelsexuality1.mp3 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:00:00 PST 56:22 TRANSFIGURATION https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/09-10-25_Luke_9_28-32_transfiguration.mp3 Speaker: Lance Odegard Date: 10.25.09 Texts: Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-10; 2 Pet. 1:16-18; John 1:14; 2 Cor. 3:7-18; Heb. 1:3, Psalm 24:7-10 TRANSFIGURATION The transfiguration comes at a point where perspective is needed. Jesus has just predicted his passion, a way that includes suffering, rejection and death. He has revealed a shocking truth that his way involves going to the cross and he calls his followers to do the same. Jesus reveals that his identity includes being a crucified messiah. Now on the mountain with Peter, John, and James, Jesus reveals another part of his identity the glorified Son of God. On the mountain we are given a vantage point, a view that looks backwards and forwards: back to Israels story in the Old Testament and forward to Jesus empty tomb and the ascension, where Jesus stands in glory at Gods right hand. After Jesus reveals that his journey involves going to the cross, he reveals what will follow the cross- resurrection. The transfiguration provides a glimpse at the only source of hope for the transfiguring of a disfigured world. Here we see more clearly who Jesus is, as the transfiguration reveals the ultimate goal of his journey to the cross. And its too much to take in.

For whoever wants to save him life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. Jesus (Luke 9:23-24 niv) One day, after Jesus had spent time with His Father praying, he asked his followers some tough questions: Who do the crowds say I am, and what about you? He knows they dont fully understand His identity yet, but like a good teacher He reveals in clarifying terms the path He is on. Notably, on His way to suffer & die on the cross- and then rise to live on the third day. His brothers dont take too kindly to Jesus hard words. Thats not what they were expecting thats not the role of the Messiah... right? He then challenges his brothers (& us) with a call to suffering. A call to take up our cross, deny our selfish ambition, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. It is on this reality of suffering & cross-bearing that this sermon will focus. Specifically on the reality that our spiritual journey will come at a great cost & likely with much pain. Its the way of Jesus its the way of the cross it is the way. Death comes before life. Life comes through death. Jesus for us. This is a radically & ridiculously counter-cultural idea and one worth deeply reflecting upon. In a city that appears to have gained the whole world but has lost itself... are your expectations lined up with the world, or with Jesus?

Jesus (John 20:21, niv) Lukes gospel is the missionary gospel. Over & over Luke depicts Jesus choosing, training, and then sending his followers out to do His will. It is clear that we follow a sent & sending God (John 20:21). In Luke 9, well se Jesus sending his boys out poorly equipped it would seem to preach & heal, from village to village. He has given them power & authority so it is likely that many respond well to this Jesus. When the disciples report back to Jesus, theyre probably feeling pretty good about themselves. Thinking: Hey we preached, the people we healed... Jesus you should have seen us... But Jesus sends them out again, not village to village but to the crowd simply to feed them. A logistical and economical nightmare, for sure. 15-20 000 men, women & children far from Safeway, Subway & Starbucks not an easy task. It is a test of the disciples faith. They have seen the power & authority of Jesus up close & personal. Theyve seen his authority over wind, waves & even death. They have just been used by Him to heal & transform lives with His Gospel. Is it too much to believe He could feed a hungry mob? On their own power, yes it is. But Jesus teaches that it is not the mission strategy, effort spent or even willingness but what (who) you have to offer that feeds hungry souls. He will go on to call Himself the Bread of Life.

CREATIVE. UNCONVENTIONAL. Why breaking the rules and ignoring the worms has everything to do with it. In contrast to the traditional view that uncleanness was contagious, Jesus regarded holiness/ wholeness as contagious. The Physician is not overcome by those who are ill, but rather overcomes their illness. Holiness for Jesus was not something to be protected; rather it was Gods miraculous power of transformation. Gods holiness cannot be soiled; rather, it is a cleansing and healing agent. It does not need to be shut up and quarantined in the temple; it is now, through Jesus healings and fellowship with the despised and rejected, breaking out in the world to transform it. - Walter Wink Jesus continues his overturning of the kingdom of sin, death, and the devil. Here we read of Jesus healing a leper a man completely cut-off from the rest of the society. Jesus said that he had good news for the outsiders and the oppressed and now were going to see what that news looks like physical, social, and spiritual restoration. Jesus shows us that He is willing to heal this man. We also see how far a few guys will go to get a friend to Jesus, even if it means getting really creative, taking a few risks, and destroying someone elses private property. These friends are willing to think outside the box and the surprise is that they play a larger part in their friends healing than they bargained for. Lukes stories are showing Jesus gospel in action. Jesus is bringing people back to Gods good intentions healed and whole, forgiven and connected. Lance Odegard Why breaking the rules and ignoring the worms has everything to do with it. Date: 7.05.09 Speaker: Lance Odegard Texts: Luke 5:12-26 Title: THE WILLING. CREATIVE. UNCONVENTIONAL. Why breaking the rules and ignoring the worms has everything to do with it. In contrast to the traditional view that uncleanness was contagious, Jesus regarded holiness/ wholeness as contagious. The Physician is not overcome by those who are ill, but rather overcomes their illness. Holiness for Jesus was not something to be protected; rather it was Gods miraculous power of transformation. Gods holiness cannot be soiled; rather, it is a cleansing and healing agent. It does not need to be shut up and quarantined in the temple; it is now, through Jesus healings and fellowship with the despised and rejected, breaking out in the world to transform it. - Walter Wink Jesus continues his overturning of the kingdom of sin, death, and the devil.

Then Jesus said to Simon, Dont be afraid; from now on you will catch men. So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. Luke 5:4,6,7,10-11 niv Theres this crazy scene (Matt 14) where Peter, Jesus lead disciple, sees Jesus walking on water and decides to give it a go himself. The story has a soggy ending but the idea of Peter wanting to be like his rabbi is the big idea of this weeks passage in Luke. In Luke 5 & 6 were introduced to the call (follow me), the Caller (Jesus) & the called (broken, sinful & ordinary people like us). This idea of discipleship following the Rabbi (teacher) is essential to the whole Gospel message & mission and is one of the threads that weaves its way through the Gospel according to Luke. Well look at the various accounts of Jesus calling his disciples, what it meant & means to be a follower, what a yoke is and how its carried (Matt 11:28-30), and the reality that it is the Caller who calls, or chooses us no the other way around (John 15:16).

On the surface, John appears more than a bit unstable and would probably be diagnosed with some hyperactivity disorder if he grew up in our day. He walks the line between bold & crazy. But he is filled with the Holy Spirit, is available to God, has great courage & humility. Hes got nothing but Gods call, Gods Spirit & the Bible. At around age 30 he emerges wearing leather; on a diet of bugs and honey, & yelling at people the simple message: Repent! Turn from sin & turn towards God! Remarkably, his message resonated with many and John baptized people in preparation for the Messiah. But, not surprisingly, his message was not received so well by the religious or political leaders. And in the end, John preached for only a year was put in prison and eventually beheaded because of the insane sexual lust of the current king Herod. John the baptist, the cousin of Jesus, plays an important role in preparing the people to receive the Messiah. He is a herald whose life & teaching points us to Jesus. And his is a reminder of how God uses our lives, our words, our families, our actions, our career to herald Jesus to the world. The Good News, from the 1st century to the 21st, is the same...

Is the God of the Bible some sort of angry judge? (of judgment, wrath, hell, fire & El Diablos red stretchy-pants) Brimstone for the broad-minded. Summary: The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. 2 Peter 3:9-10a Todays challenge could be posed like this: JUDGMENT & HELL: How could a good, all-loving God send good people to hell? The God of the Bible appears to be mean, angry, vindictive, abusive & judgmental. The Christian doctrines of judgment & hell simply cannot be reconciled with the idea of a loving God. Therefore this loving God cannot exist. In other words, as bus adverts promote, stop worrying and enjoy your life. In this sermon well acknowledge that judgment and hell are indeed highly controversial & often misunderstood but that they are essential if we are to understand our own hearts, truly live at peace in the world, and to grasp the depth of Gods love. 13% of the New Testament, including nearly half the parables, concern this subject and Jesus, himself, taught more on hell than anyone else. If Jesus cared so much about it we need to look deeply, thoughtfully, humbly, biblically, & prayerfully at it. In doing so by Gods grace well glimpse the depth of Gods love for us and appreciate His perfect justice. Kristian Martens Is the God of the Bible some sort of angry judge? WHAT THE HELL? Date: 3.22.09 Speaker: Kristian Martens Texts: Luke 16:19-3,? 19:41-42, John 3:36, Romans 1:25, 2:2-8. 5:8-9, Matt 8:12, 9:43-48, 10:28, 25:41-46, 2 Pet 3:9-10, Rev 20:10-15 Title: WHAT THE HELL? Is the God of the Bible some sort of angry judge? (of judgment, wrath, hell, fire & El Diablos red stretchy-pants) Brimstone for the broad-minded. Summary: The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. 2 Peter 3:9-10a Todays challenge could be posed like this: JUDGMENT & HELL: How could a good, all-loving God send good people to hell? The God of the Bible appears to be mean, angry, vindictive, abusive & judgmental. The Christian doctrines of judgment & hell simply cannot be reconciled with the idea of a loving God. Therefore this loving God cannot exist. In other words, as bus adverts promote, stop worrying and enjoy your life. In this sermon well acknowledge that judgment and hell are indeed highly controversial & often misunderstood but that they are essential if we are to understand our own hearts, truly live at peace in the world, and to grasp the depth of Gods love. 13% of the New Testament, including nearly half the parables, concern this subject and Jesus, himself, taught more on hell than anyone else. If Jesus cared so much about it we need to look deeply, thoughtfully, humbly, biblically, & prayerfully at it. In doing so by Gods grace well glimpse the depth of Gods love for us and appreciate His perfect justice. https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/09-03-22_Luke_16_19_Hell.mp3 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 PST 51:25 INJUSTICE: Isn't religion the enemy? https://www.realityvancouver.com/downloads/sb_realityvancouver/09-03-15_Ja_1_27-2_17_Injustice_.mp3 Title: INJUSTICE: Isnt religion the enemy of minorities, the weak & the poor? (a historical & biblical perspective on justice) Summary: Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. James 1:27 - 2:1 Through March well seek to address - biblically, practically, and personally - some of the most common & powerful arguments against Christianity. Todays challenge could be posed like this: Isnt religion (including Christianity) the enemy of minorities, the weak & the poor? Doesnt the Christian church have a long history of engaging in economic, cultural & racial oppression - especially towards the weak & poor? In this sermon well acknowledge that injustice is everywhere & always has been. And that while horrific, indefensible injustice has been done by the christian church - it is one of a long list of oppressors - including atheists and groups from nearly all other religious worldviews. However - Christianity has a unique resource for rightly addressing the issue of Justice & Mercy - Jesus. From this passage in James - well see that, far from rejecting the poor & oppressed, Jesus actually chooses them. And therefore - anyone who follows & believes in Jesus - should do the same. In addition well see the reality of Justice in Jesus name - a call to action for the Christian community. Lastly well apply this to ourselves - called to serve as Jesus did & does. The solution to the problem of injustice in the world is not less Christianity - but a truer - deeper - more humble faith - rooted & empowered by Jesus. Well see at the cross and in the life of Jesus the perfect picture of grace, truth, justice & peace. And how Gospel-centred Christianity can indeed produce the peace-loving, city-serving, compassion-motivated, & radically humble agents of reconciliation our world so desperately longs for. --------- Kristian Martens ... of minorities, the weak & the poor?

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12 Exclusive religious claims are the enemy of peace in the world. Since truth cannot be proven, no one should claim to have it exclusively. Christianity makes exclusive truth claims. Therefore it is intolerant, archaic & should be discarded & replaced with either a multi-cultural, open & free-thinking spirituality - or none at all. In this sermon we'll see that while exclusivity does tend to lead people down the slippery slope of superiority separation unfamiliarity marginalization discrimination - & hatred... this is a challenge for both the religious & the irreligious/atheists. All of us make exclusive truth claims, including those who claim there is no truth. That is a truth claim in itself.

The financial house of cards has come crashing down in many parts of the world - and the new reality of living simpler, more frugal lives seems to be upon us.

This Christmas, instead of getting all fired up about Christmas presents, Reality joins a movement of Christians & churches to promote the Advent Conspiracy (adventconspiracy.org).

In the end - Jude's message is less about pointing fingers at others - and more about soberly reflecting on the person & work of Jesus - recognizing the depth of our own brokenness apart from Him.
