Hi, my friend. I hope youāre doing well today. For the next few weeks on the podcast, leading up to Easter, Iāll be sharing from one of my favorite verses.
Iāve been asked what I would choose if I could only preach one topic or one passage for the rest of my life. I think this is itāJohn 3:16. The Hope Diamond of the Bible. āFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.ā

362: More Like Jesus: Forgiveness
This week on the podcast we're looking at what is, for many people, the challenge of life. Forgiving people who have hurt us. Forgiveness is not easy but, I believe with the Lord's help, the grace we have received from God can overflow into the lives of others.Watch the Ark in the Darkness HERE.

361: More Like Jesus: Grace
Our topic for this episode is God's greatest gift to us, grace. I've preached a lot of sermons on grace, I've written a few books on grace, but I never get tired of talking about this gift of being made right with God through his grace. As perfectly summarized in 1 Corinthians 5:18-21, "All this is from God. Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself, and God gave us the work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with him. God was in Christ, making peace between the world and himself. In Christ, God did not hold the world guilty of its sins. And he gave us this message of peace. So we have been sent to speak for Christ. It is as if God is calling to you through us. We speak for Christ when we beg you to be at peace with God. Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God."

360: More Like Jesus: Prayer
This week on the podcast weāre turning our attention to a favorite passage of mine found in Matthew chapter 6: āGive us this day our daily bread.ā No prayer better summarizes our relationship with God than this expression of trust. Godās treatment of fear has always been trust. These are fear-filled days, arenāt they? We see it in newscasts and on our neighborsā faces. Weāre anxious. So, I canāt think of a more appropriate phrase to focus on than this simple, profound prayer of trust.

359: More Like Jesus: Worship
What happens when we believed we are loved by God? What do we do? How do we act? Might I suggest that the primary purpose of the Christian is this: to worship. When we worship God for who he is and all he has done for us, it reinforces what we know to be true of Godās character, enables us to receive his love, and changes how we see the world as people made in his image.Watch the Ark in the Darkness HERE.
