Lent: On the Road Towards Golgotha | Pastor Steven Spears
https://pastorstevenspears.wordpress.com/2014/03/10/lent-on-the-road-towards-golgotha
Sir, give me this living water…. Lent: On the Road Towards Golgotha. What happened on Golgotha is the turning point of all history. Before the cross, the world was spinning out of control on the axis of violence and manipulation. On the cross, Jesus gave the world a new axis an axis of love. How did this happen? Is God really that monstrous? What then does it mean for Jesus to die for our sins? Yes How else would the love and forgiveness of God be revealed? God’s disposition towards God’s creation did no...

Mixed Messages | Pastor Steven Spears
https://pastorstevenspears.wordpress.com/2015/01/23/mixed-messages
Sir, give me this living water…. No matter how careful we are, it is inevitable that our ‘life projection’ is a mixture of truths and contradictions. We must be attuned to this reality. We find the ‘mixed messages’ of our lives everywhere. There is a lot of buzz about the movie. Yesterday was the yearly. How many support going to war and the taking of ‘enemy’ lives to solve our problems? Does our proclamation and work in the world line up with that claim? That is a question each of us must answer. It...

Walls Resolutions and the Spirit | Pastor Steven Spears

Sir, give me this living water…. Walls Resolutions and the Spirit. Walls Resolutions and the Spirit. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace. Or, how about a resolution clarifying our position on gluttony? Newer Entry →. Discipleship Ink w/ Darren Schalk.

Lent: On The Road Towards Golgotha II | Pastor Steven Spears
https://pastorstevenspears.wordpress.com/2014/03/14/lent-on-the-road-towards-golgotha-ii
Sir, give me this living water…. Lent: On The Road Towards Golgotha II. Earlier this week, I emphasized the scandal of the cross by pointing out that it was the murder of God. This is quite a jolt for some. The fact remains that God died on the cross at the hands of lawless people (Acts 2:23). Today, I am asking the question, where was God when Jesus died on the cross? Don’t get me wrong. The very fact that God became a man is challenging, but no dualism is taking place here. Jesus’ two natures w...He ha...

Sir, give me this living water…. The Sunday School God and Reality. The Sunday School God and Reality. Of course, I have my concerns. What will happen when my grands hit their teens and realize the Sunday school God is different from the God of the real world? Did I just say that? Yes, this is a real concern. Will they leave the church like so many of our teens today because they do not see the God of Sunday school lived out in the lives of the adults and leaders around them? Maybe, maybe not. I think ou...
