Your Access to God

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

God opens the door to us to draw near to him. The curtain in the temple was torn top to bottom on the day Jesus died, signifying that access to God is barrier-free. The grace of God drew you, you responded in faith, and now you are in union with him. Gabriel asks about Adam and Eve's creation and the fictional story of Lilleth. A caller asks if the New Testament is foretold in the Old Testament. Robert in Denver asks for clarification about works. In some places, works are described as filthy rags. In others, they are called pleasing to the Lord

God Wants to be Close to Us

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Andrew Farley

How do I draw near to God? It starts with Him and seeing what He's done for us in Christ Jesus. "For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross." Colossians 1:19-22 We're holy and blameless, free from accusation because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Resting in the Power of God

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

In 1 Corinthians 2 we see Paul defending his ministry. "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." The message is Jesus Christ and Paul wanted that to be understood. "And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."

  • Righteousness? Can you explain what that means for a Christian in the New Covenant?
  • Does Luke 9:49-50 mean what it says- those who are not against us are for us? Does this mean anyone, no matter who?
  • My bible study participant are asking about physical blessings how are they different from spiritual blessings in Christ?
  • Why does Jesus say in the Lord's Prayer to pray "...forgive us our sins as we...". Aren't our sins already forgiven if we are born again Christians? Is he talking about the sin of unbelief here?

Jesus' Claims

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Do you know what you believe about the death, burial, and resurrection? It's the Gospel story. But, why is it relevant to you? Jesus died for our sins in accordance to scriptures. Jesus was buried. Proof of death is necessary for a will to go into effect; therefore, the New Covenant is in effect. Why was Jesus raised? It is proof that all of his claims about himself are true. It also means that we, too, are raised to walk in the newness of life.

Revealed

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Andrew Farley

What is the truth about God? God is love. God so loved the world... We need to get our ideas about God aligned with what He says about himself. Our view of God is distorted by our life of sin and death. But when we are born again we can know God as who He truly is. And that changes how we relate to one another.

The Knowledge of God

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Yesterday we asked the question, "do you know what you believe"? When you think about God, what comes into your mind? What are your thoughts about God? Why is this important? Because God is the most important person in our lives. "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." A. W. Tozer

The Adornment We Wear

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Paul begins each letter in the same way; with the grace of God. He ends each letter the same way; "May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit." That should speak volumes to us. No matter what circumstances you experience in life, let your life be marked by the grace of God. It distinguishes you for eternity. It is the grace of God that draws others to you and, through you, to Jesus Christ.

  • I feel like God wants something more from me: more of my time, focus, "pure" thinking, etc. Is that what offering ourselves as living sacrifices is about? What more can I do to honor Him?
