There is a desire within the soul of every man. It is the desire to know the Truth. What is real? What is genuine? What is the origin, reason, and purpose of all things…for the universe…for me? Is there anything, anyone, any religion or philosophy which can answer these most basic questions? There is One…only One – Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul lays down the key to mystery of history and the answer to the deepest longings of the human heart. It is not empty religion or vain philosophies, but a real and complete understanding of God’s will, revealed in the Person of Jesus Christ. In Him, we discover our origins. In Him, we understand the purpose for our existence and the direction of our lives. And in Him, the mystery of the will of God has been forever revealed to His people: Christ in you, the hope of glory!
In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he aims to clearly and comprehensively explain the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. This Gospel is, “the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,” (Romans 1:16). At the very heart of this message is the Truth that we are all – every one of us – guilty sinners, deserving of God’s judgment and wrath; but that Jesus Christ has been presented as the Offering for our sins, to bear the wrath of God and die in our place. Therefore, we are made innocent and right with God, by faith in His Son, who is the Gift of God’s grace for guilty sinners (Romans 3:24). Now, all who place their faith in Him are no longer guilty, but Justified! In this series, we will seek to unpack this deep and wonderful Truth at the heart of the Gospel, and all of its implications for our lives, today.
There is a battle coming, but the people of God need not fear. Forces of good and evil will face off in one final, climactic clash, but the Lord’s victory is already assured. In the Book of Revelation, the prophet John paints an incredible picture of the final events of this fleeting reality before the true and beautiful is ushered in. While his account of violent warfare is startling at times, the children of the Most High can trust in the One who has begun the work of restoring our world to its proper place. He will continue until that work is complete. In the end, every wrong will be made right and all things will be made new.
In this series, "Knowing God," we explore what it truly means to live in a dynamic relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It's not just about knowing about God but actively engaging with Him. Through faith and the Holy Spirit's work, we're called to walk with God, talk to Him, learn from Him, and experience His love and power in our lives. The series will delve into the basics of Christian living, focusing on beliefs and practices that help us know God better—making our faith a vibrant and transformative journey.
