    Through The Storm Part 1: You’re Gonna Do What?

    We are a month and a half into the world-wide Covid-19 pandemic and there is as of now, no light at the end of the tunnel. We live in a time of dark uncertainty no doubt. Schools, stores, and churches are closed, pro sports seasons have been canceled, the stock market has plummeted into recession, retirement accounts are all but gone, countless jobs have been lost, over 2 million people have been infected, over 100,000 people have died, and as of now there is no cure. And even after its all over with... what will be left when we sift through the rubble? Will our economy ever be able to recover? Will you be able to find a job again? Will your 401k rebound?

    I'm not trying to paint too bleak of a picture here... I'm just voicing some of the questions that I think many of us are secretly asking. But the biggest question that many of us are asking is... why?
     
    Why God, why? It's a fair question. But it's not the most important question in these times. You see one of the most fundamental teachings of the Christian faith is this idea that God is so much bigger than us that we cannot know all his ways... we can't always know the why. Isaiah 55:8-9 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” And I know what you are thinking. So. So what? How does that help me right here, right now! It can seem like an empty cliché... but I assure it's not. You see the most important question isn't why? The most important question is... “can you still trust God when you can't understand the why?” When you can't figure out what God is doing, or why he's doing it, when you can't see him working through the darkness... when you can't see how this can amount to any good at all... can you still trust him?

    Scandalous Part 2: The Missing Body
    Series: Scandalous
    Isn't it convenient then, that our current scandal is during this time, during Easter? Why you say? Because Easter is scandalous. Last week we begun by looking at the situation from the trial of Christ to his murder on the cross. He was plotted against, conspired against, falsely accused, beaten and abused mercilessly, declared innocent multiple times, and killed on a cross. Why was his trial in the middle of the night. Why was he taken to four different judges and convicted without one credible witness. Why was he beaten with no proof of guilt? Why was he held captive while Barabbas the murderer was set free? Why was Jesus, a man free of sin, crime, or malice... a man who healed people, forgave people's sins, who only helped people everyday... why was he sentenced do death? Now thats a scandal. 
     

    The Body is missing... and it is a scandal no doubt... but the real scandal is that Jesus would die and raise again for us. The real scandal is that we were the ones who sinned against him. The real scandal is that we turned our backs on him. The real scandal is that even while we were sinners... still the love of Christ kept loving us... all the way to the cross... all the way to the grave... and all the way to a rolled away stone. Now you know what's really missing? Meaninglessness... Purposelessness, uncertainty, the fear of sin, the fear of death, the fear of hell, the sting of our iniquity, the devastation of our selfishness. Do you know what's really missing in the empty tomb now? Emptiness! You don't have to be empty any more! Surrender to the risen Christ and be filled with life, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, long-suffering, goodness, mercy, and grace... for all of eternity. The Tomb Is Empty So You Don't Have To Be

    Scandalous Part 1: Murder & Mistrial
    Series: Scandalous

    Scandals can come in many shapes and sizes. From murders to conspiracy theories. From mysterious appearances to unexplainable phenomena. From coverups to missing people. Whether it be who really killed JFK, what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, or what is area 51... there are some scandalous things happening in this world. But if you want to hear about some of the most scandalous, most nefarious, and most extraordinary scandals of all time you don't have to look to the grocery isle tabloids... you just need to open up your Bibles.

    One of the biggest scandals in the Bible is the story of Easter where we see the mistrial and murder of Jesus Christ.  Yes their was conspiracy, plots, lies, beatings, and murder... all committed by evil people.  But we played a part too.  We are the murderers Jesus came to save. We are Barabbas. We are the ones who were released when Jesus was put on the cross. We are the ones who's sins he died for.We are responsible for his death, and in a way we are his murderers.

    But the trial is still in session... and you can still be set free from the guilt of his murder and the guilt of any sin you've ever committed. The Bible says clearly in John 3:16 that God loved the world so much that he sent his one and only Son that whoever would believe in him would not perish under the penalty of sin but have everlasting life. If you would only believe in Him. In his death and resurrection and surrender your life to him you can be saved by the blood of this innocent man. Jesus; the most innocent man of all time, murdered in cold blood, so murderers like us could be made innocent
