A new work of God in San Diego's East Village
Sermons on Belief (Page 3)
We finish up our stint in Hebrews by looking at what it means to live a life that is shaped like Jesus, both as a church and as individual members of the body of Christ.
We continue to talk about faith, remembering that the faith we have (however big or small) is no different than the faith of those who have come before. So we run the race with perseverance (not necessarily speed), allowing that bit of faith we have to drive us forward.
We talk about faith. What is faith? What does God ask of us in terms of faith? What does faith do in us?
We look at what it means to be faithful even as times get difficult.
What does it mean that we “no longer see anyone from a human point of view”? We look at how we learn to see the new work of God in one another, even if it hasn’t started yet.
“If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” We hear and dwell upon this good news
Paul brings our attention to the resurrection of the dead, and we are reminded that our hope is not to “go to heaven” when we die, but to experience bodily resurrection, like Christ.
Jumping to 1 Corinthians 15, Paul brings our focus to the bodily death and resurrection of Jesus.
Unfortunately, our recording didn’t work this week, but Pastor Chris wrote a commentary on this passage for A Plain Account, a lectionary commentary resource for pastors. Find it here to get a taste of what you missed this Sunday!
