The Most Relevant Thing

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Your life intersects with the life of Jesus Christ. The event that took place 2000 years ago is actually the most relevant event in your life today. Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories (1 Peter 1:10-11). This grace of God was prophesied by the prophets of old for you. We experience the same glories by grace through faith in Christ.

Find Your Anchor

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Bob shares an email from Ben. "I never would have imagined such change would take place in my life ... from deep despair to ever-increasing hope and stability". We all need hope in this world. But you're not gonna find a lot of hope in this world apart from Jesus. "It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you, my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! " Galatians 4:18-19

Life in His Name

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

When you look at the Christian life you can see it's a life of thankfulness. A life of saying "thank you" for all God has given us in Jesus Christ. He is our constant. Nothing can separate us from Him. We have crossed over from death to life. He has made us alive. By living out this thankfulness, we can have a grace effect upon those we meet. "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." John 20:30-31

Give Thanks

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Andrew Farley

Thanksgiving is a time when we as a nation pause and gives thanks for all our blessings. As believers, we know that faith always says thank-you. Give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It is because of the sacrifice of Jesus that we are saved by grace. That initiates a life of thankfulness. Popular religion is all performance based. This Thanksgiving we can truly be grateful that Christ has done it all.

The Cornerstone

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

The death, the burial, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the good news. It's the good news that happened 2,000 years ago. And when you hear the good news and make it your story "Christ in you" becomes your story. Peter talks about this in his first letter. "As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:5-6

The Message Concerning Christ

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Often we mistakenly believe that the Gospel message is about Jesus AND us. But when you read 1 Corinthians 15 you learn that it's all about Jesus and his death, burial, and resurrection. We benefit from his work. But it's the message concerning Christ that is of utmost importance.
