God is…

The incredible evangelist Bill Bright said in his autobiography that the most important study of the Bible is the study of the character of God. Rockharbor church is doing a series on who is God. This is the introductory sermon by Mike Erre, and it is an excellent introduction to this topic.

Lost Coins

uberlumen — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:02:35 +0000

This sermon opened my eyes to a richer and deeper meaning to Jesus parable of the lost coins. It turns out that in the 1st century women would wear a necklace of 10 silver coins around their neck if they were engaged to be married! So the lost coin was not just any lost coin. This was a special silver coin (1 of 10). This coin was one that represented the love of her husband or betrothed.

Part 1: Signs and Wonders in the Digital Age

uberlumen — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:11:18 +0000

Westernized Christianity can seem dull, and most of the time, Christians don’t appear any different than their non-believing counter parts.

My friend in the Middle East visited again this summer to super charge and challenge my thoughts on signs and wonders. The Bible is filled with supernatural signs and wonders. The western world teaches that these were only for the time ‘back then’ or explains these events away by claiming that people ‘back then’ were very naive. These miracles never actually happened, were fancy analogies/examples of key teaching principles, or misunderstood by superstitious people back in the past.

What if these signs and wonders could be seen today?

This is the 1st of 3 sermons given by my friend from the Middle East. I would love to know what you think….

Upcoming Book by Boyd: Jesus versus Jehovah

uberlumen — Mon, 17 May 2010 13:24:36 +0000

Greg Boyd explains some details of his upcoming book: Jesus versus Jehovah. I will hold any judgments until I read it, but I agree at least with this part of his summary:

“Though he was in fact all-holy, on Calvary the Son of God identified with our sin to the point of bearing our guilt. So too, the Father is said to have afflicted his Son (Isa. 53) though in fact he merely allowed wicked powers using wicked people to crucify Jesus. When we read the Old Testament through this lens, we find God frequently identifying himself as the agent of violence, though the context makes it clear that he is merely allowing violent agents to do what they want to do. God is portrayed as doing what he actually merely allows. There are historical and exegetic reasons for this, but the theological reason, I argue, is that God has always been a God who takes responsibility for all that he allows — even though he detests much of what he allows. This is how God bears our sin and why he takes on the semblance of a nationalistic, law-oriented warrior god.”

What is prayer?

Prayer is SO much and there are so MANY ways to pray….but here is a
brief list of what prayer is about…

1. Time with God
“…Prayer is a window into knowing the mind of God, whose kingdom is
entrusted to all of us frail, selfish people on earth.”-Philip Yancey

2. Praise to God: Thank Him for all the blessings in your life…

2. Requests to God: ASK Him, SEEK Him

3. Partnership with God
“…Prayer is our chance to join forces with God’s power to confront
suffering and evil head-on.”-Philip Yancey
