Monday Mar 13, 2017
Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. (25) Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. (26) And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. (27) And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."
The Gospel hinges on the historical person of Jesus. To believe the Gospel is to believe Jesus. But what does it mean to believe in Jesus?

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
When we call people to believe the Gospel, on what grounds can we claim that what the Bible says is authoritative. It takes belief in the truth that God has spoken through special revelation in the Bible. In this sermon we look at Psalm 19 and are called to believe that God has in fact spoken.

Monday Feb 20, 2017
Galatians 3:13-14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"— (14) so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
God's love is neither conditional, nor unconditional. It is always covenental. And this is Good News!

Romans 5:17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
Evil is real. No one can honestly deny that. So how is it that God allows evil? Ultimateally it's because he loves us enough to give us grace and not wipe us off the face of the earth. Do you believe we are fallen?

Matthew 19:8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
Marriage is viewed as the highest expression of love. And yet love has been minimized to simply a feeling to be felt, instead of an act of the will to be chosen. No wander most people don't think of the Gospel when they think of marriage.
