Over and over again, these are the two words that describe how they sought to live: “by faith.” But the mistake we often make is assuming that since these people are found in this passage, then they must be considered as some kind of “legends of the faith.” Yet as you start reading about every one of them in detail, you quickly realize that this was not the case. This passage contains some of the worst kinds of people doing some of the worst kinds of things. They were drunks, liars, thieves, murderers, adulterers, and more. Though we often label them as heroes, in many cases, they were more like zeroes. So, why do we find them here? Why even point to them and their lives through Hebrews 11? What could we possibly learn about living by faith from them? The truth is that we are all very much like them. We too are just a bunch of broken people needing to trust in Christ alone for salvation and life. Because without faith, we cannot be saved, we cannot be transformed, and we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6). All of these require faith in God. Their stories point beyond themselves to the great, faithful, and trustworthy God in whom they placed their faith. As we examine the lives of these men and women and what Scripture reveals about faith and, more specifically, their faith, we will be reminded of a simple, yet powerful and necessary truth: we can only live by faith.

Our mouths can either spring forth good like a fountain of life, or they can pour out words that wound deeply. We’ve all said things that were less than reflective of Jesus. I’m sure each of us would like to take back at least one thing we’ve said in the past, since we’ve all gossiped, lied, cursed, insulted others, or made rude and offensive comments. In those moments, we allowed resentment, irritation, arrogance, or flat-out carelessness to rule our tongues…none of which honour Christ. And yet, the crazy, wonderful thing is that as we pursue Christ in our lives, we will see him working to redeem every part of us, including our mouths, so that we might use them to speak life. So, as you prepare to hear God’s Word challenge you, I encourage you to take some time and consider the following: What do my words reveal about my daily walk with Jesus and the transformation he desires to bring about in me?

Well, this chapter is split up into two parts, and each presents opposing ways to live: the Way of Wisdom or the Way of Folly. Those are the only two options available to every one of us, and each leads to a different destination. People want to believe that all roads are equal and lead to the same thing, but the Bible says otherwise. Only one way is right and true. Christ is the way, since, as believers, we belong to him, it should be very easy for us to know which way to choose; yet this is a choice we struggle with in every moment. In life, we are continually tempted to trust our own wisdom, pursue our own desires, and go our own way. Which is why we need to be reminded of what Christ and his way leads to, and that choosing the Way of Wisdom means choosing Christ.

It’s quite another if they say you lack sense. The latter is much harder to hear and receive. And yet, that is exactly how God’s Word describes someone who commits adultery. They believe sin’s false promises, pursue what is harmful, and fail to consider the consequences. Why would anyone choose to go down that path? And yet all around us, marriages are falling apart, and relationships are being devastated by the sin of adultery. Why is that? Well, research shows that one of the leading reasons spouses are unfaithful in marriage is a sense of overall dissatisfaction. This points to a deeper issue: satisfaction cannot be found in anyone or anything other than Jesus Christ. When we miss this, we expose ourselves to the temptations and dangers of sin, along with the disappointment that inevitably follows. We pursue all kinds of things in life to fill that void; things like money, achievement, sex, family, career, entertainment, adventure, relaxation, and possessions. But none of these will ever be enough. Each one eventually leaves us empty, longing for more, but never satisfied. It is only Christ, and a life centred on him, that can truly satisfy. So, the question we’re asking this week as we consider Proverbs 6:32–33 is this: Are you living the satisfied life?

But around this centre, there is a periphery. Around and supporting God’s action in the kingdom there is his work of supporting and sustaining his world in being, that the kingdom may be built.

As we recognize this, it reshapes how we live, how we love, and even who we love. Join us as we open God’s Word together this week, and see how his mercy for us will lead us to love … even loving our enemies. I look forward to seeing you and your family there!

Two trials take place: the formal trial of Christ by the religious leaders, and the informal one of Peter in the courtyard by the crowd. The pressure builds in both places, and as it does, something deeper is exposed. This passage does more than recount a moment in history; it reveals what rises to the surface in our hearts when loyalty to Jesus is tested. This Sunday we’ll walk carefully through this text to consider what the cost of following Jesus reveals, not just in the religious leaders or in Peter, but in us.

Which is quite something when you consider that throughout his time on earth, Jesus was constantly met with betrayal, denial, abandonment, and rejection. Through this week’s text in Mark 14:32-52, we’re going to see that Jesus did not waver on his way to the cross, despite the failings, deceitfulness, and hostility of those around him. He went forward so that we could experience and know the greatest of all joys: the gift of salvation. All the while, Jesus also shows us how to live: in surrender and love.

In this passage, we see a contrast among various religious leaders in how they viewed Jesus and responded to him. Their responses exposed what truly lay in their hearts (pride, arrogance, selfishness, etc.), resulting in lives that appeared religious on the outside but were ultimately empty without Christ. As we walk through these verses, we’ll see that pursuing the way of God always calls us to full surrender.

Their responses exposed what truly lay in their hearts (pride, arrogance, selfishness, etc.), resulting in lives that appeared religious on the outside but were ultimately empty without Christ.

Though the world desires peace, it has never truly experienced it and can never fully know it apart from Christ. According to Ephesians 2:14, Christ himself is our peace; this is why he is called the Prince of Peace in the book of Isaiah. What the world offers is nothing compared to who Christ is and what he brings. His peace is full and without end. Worldly peace is fragile, temporary, often selfishly motivated, and utterly powerless to appease God’s righteous wrath. It will always come short, leaving us empty and unsatisfied. This Sunday, we will explore the words the angels spoke to the shepherds as they tended their flocks in the fields. These ordinary men were going about their daily work when a host of angels suddenly appeared, praising God and proclaiming the birth of a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who brings peace to all who receive him.

We’re talking about Jesus stepping into our place, carrying our guilt, and taking the punishment we deserve for our sin. He gave of himself fully for us on the cross to become our rescue.

Here is a summary of what you can expect. You’ve tried everything and you’ve looked everywhere, even going down paths you never thought you would. Yet you’re still left asking more questions than you are getting answers. The problem is evident: death, conflict, loss, pain, and suffering are all very real to you and everyone else around you. Why is that? And what is the ultimate answer to this universal brokenness? Maybe the answers to your questions have been right in front of you all along, though it might be hard to accept. So, let’s ask it plainly: could God be the answer you’ve been looking for? Is he really the only one who can fill the emptiness you feel within you, give true purpose to your life, and bring you lasting peace? In this 5-week series, we’ll look to the Scriptures and see why God is the answer every person needs: seeing who God is, recognizing our own fallen nature, and discovering the true hope found in Jesus, while pointing others to him.

It brings us to consider an important question: What really is true greatness? In sports and in life, we tend to measure greatness by the achievements and successes we attain. Whether it’s through the trophies we’ve won, the bonuses and promotions we’ve earned, or the records we’ve broken. But is that really enough? For example, last Sunday, Alexander Ovechkin beat Wayne Gretzky’s 30-year-old record for goals scored in an NHL career. It’s an incredible accomplishment that places Ovechkin at the top of this category. But this is only one small area where he can claim to be the best; it doesn’t make him the greatest hockey player overall. So, how can we appropriately measure greatness then? We need to look to God. In his character of perfection and holiness, he defines and sets the only reasonable standard for greatness. He is the greatest of all. Period.

This time, they were upset seeing the disciples were not following the elders’ traditions. More specifically, it irked them that they ate with unwashed hands. If this was a hygiene issue for them, I might understand where they were coming from, but this was not the case at all. It was a heart and pride issue, elevating men’s teachings and practices above truth.

Not me. Or how about this, would you rather receive an old pair of smelly socks filled with holes, or a fresh new pair of socks? The answer (I hope) is obvious. Take the new socks! There always comes a time when the old needs to be replaced with the new and this is what we will see this week as we continue in Ephesians 4, and study verses 17-24. We will be challenged to put off the old and put on the new. Paul puts it this way, he says that we should no longer walk as we once did. In other words, our lives should be different, now that we are in Christ. So, replace the old walk, with a new walk. Join us as we see, from the Word, how we are being sanctified to become more like Christ and to live for him.

That’s normal. For example, if you put a guitar in my hands, you will be sorry you did so. It’s not something I have learned or practiced so it wouldn’t sound very good. It is best for me (and for everyone else) if I stick with something I know and am good at.

And “when each part is working properly” (Ephesians 4:16), it builds up the church to the glory of God. Join us this Sunday as we see how Christ equips each of us to fulfill the mission and serve within the church.
