The Depths of the Sea — March 8, 2010

Summary: Once you've asked God for forgiveness for a sin, He delights in mercy and "throws your sins into the depths of the sea." But unfortunately, many of us dive into the trench to dig them back up. How can we rid ourselves of the keepsakes from the wreckage of our old lives? Verse: "Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea." —Micah 7:18-19

Summary: It's sometimes easy to become discouraged—thinking that we can never live up to God's expectations. But the good news is that perfection is God's concern and cooperation is ours. Don't let your sin-stained life stand in the way of a new life with God. Verse: "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'" —Matthew 25:24-25

Summary: Throughout our lives, God sends lessons our way to help steer us toward Him. Many of us miss the lessons that matter most and give up opportunities to be molded into someone well-equipped to live in the kingdom of God. But if we pay attention and listen to His voice, we'll discover a better way to live! Verse: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it is good or whether it is evil." —Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Summary: What exactly does the Bible mean when it says that Jesus is "the first begotten of the dead"? Weren't other people raised from the dead before His resurrection? Verse: "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood." —Revelation 1:5

Summary: Whenever we use something manmade, it invariably has imperfections. But God's methods—including His timetable—are perfect. The most important things in God's world aren't hard to figure out, and they offer us a better way to live. Verse: "Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day." —Genesis 1:3-5

Summary: It's interesting to note how God delivers bad news in the prophetic books of the Bible. The manner in which God tells the story is very important. Verse: "Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; and of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom." —Daniel 7:19-22

Summary: We've come to a point in society where we've trained ourselves to find redeeming qualities in activities that were once clearly understood to be outside the parameters of God's will. How can we keep ourselves from rationalizing our sins? Verse: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" —Isaiah 5:20

Summary: This famous story says something important about our relationship with God. With the sacrifice of Jesus, God made a considerable investment in our salvation. And He wants us to grow as we explore the new life that is ours through Jesus. Verse: "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'" —Matthew 25:24-25

Summary: Sometimes when people think about obedience, they conjure up a mental picture of someone begrudgingly doing what they're told. But that's not the picture of obedience that the Bible paints! Verse: "My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." —Proverbs 3:1-3

Summary: Almost every time the human race has tried to predict the future, we've been wrong. Thankfully, God hasn't left the future up to us. In the Bible we get a sneak peek into the future, and it's so good it defies the imagination! Verse: "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'" —1 Corinthians 2:9

Summary: What does the Bible say about spiritual gifts? How do they fit into God's plan? Verse: "It's also like a man going off on an extended trip. He called his servants together and delegated responsibilities. To one he gave five thousand dollars, to another two thousand, to a third one thousand, depending on their abilities. Then he left. Right off, the first servant went to work and doubled his master’s investment. The second did the same. But the man with the single thousand dug a hole and carefully buried his master’s money." —Matthew 25:14-18

Summary: God showed Daniel a sweeping vision of world history and then waited for him to ask what it meant. He wanted to pique Daniel's curiosity and engage him. The same happened with Moses and the burning bush. God wants us to be curious about and interested in His work. Verse: "I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made me know the interpretation of the things..." —Daniel 7:15-16

The Context of the Whole Bible — February 11, 2010
02/11/10

Summary: Many times, people will pick and choose certain verses in the Old Testament to "prove" that God is severe and that He metes out arbitrary punishments. As Christians, what should we make of that argument? Verse: "And I said: 'I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned.'" —Nehemiah 1:5-6
