In this message we look at the paradox of Humility! Emphasized thought the Bible and especially witnessed through the cross, is this simple reality. God opposes the proud but He exalts the humbled! This is a powerful look at the Humility of Jesus witnessed in our lives! TODAY’S BIG IDEA: True Humility is Christ shining though me.

Fill-in-the-Blank Handouts Jesus reduced the Bible down to two simple commands. The command to “LOVE GOD” and to “LOVE PEOPLE.” In fact Jesus even told us that we should “Love… as HE LOVED us!” Yet what does that really look like? What does it truly mean to love like Jesus? In this message we look at the paradox found in one of Jesus more controversial statements. We also navigate the dynamics of the love-hate relationship we can have with people. In the end we learn this powerful truth. TODAY’S BIG IDEA: I Can’t Love Others Best – If I Don’t Love God Most!

This year at Robinson Grace,  we are going to  celebrate Christmas by looking at  the ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS STORY.   Not necessarily  the traditional Christmas story,  because to be honest, sometimes  our traditions are not actually true.    Starting though with  Zechariah and Elizabeth, we will begin this series  as GOD BREAKS HIS SILENCE!   One of the powerful themes  running throughout this message  and maybe something  that you need to hear today, is that  “Even in the Silence God is working.”    We all go through seasons of silence in life,  those times when God  doesn’t seen to be speaking.   Zechariah and Elizabeth  have some hopeful words for us  when we face those very seasons.   With a bit of surprise near the end,  it is just the encouragement  you might need today!     Opening and closing music by: https://www.purple-planet.com

Jesus telling Pilate that He had come to bear witness to the Truth!  In John 8 Jesus does just that. In John 8 Jesus gives us  the truth about the truth!    In this message we contrast  the Philosophy of this world with the Theology of God's Word! We show that Truth is NOT relative It is IN fact ABSOLUTE!  And we also see that...

In the 40 days between  His Crucifixion and Ascension, the Bible says that Jesus  spent time with His Followers, giving them the convincing proofs  they needed to both defend  as well as spread the Gospel.  The proof He shared with them, resonated with them in a powerful way! So much so, that beyond all  the Biblical arguments, historical evidence and  prophetic confirmation, their very lives became  a defense of the Gospel.    And God desires no less  from me and you!   TODAY’S BIG IDEA: God Wants My Life  to Be a Defense of the Gospel!  Opening and closing music by: https://www.purple-planet.com

When it comes to how we understand the Creation Account in the Bible, an interesting relationship emerges.   That is the relationship between Creation week and Passion week.  In this message we go looking for THE CROSS IN CREATION! What we find is that it is important that we take the Bible at its word and hold to a literal understanding of the Creation Account.  This means that no matter what Modern Science may want to claim, the earth is not 4-5 billion years old, it is in fact 6,000 years old. We know this to be true, because we can find the cross in the Creation!  We can see the Redeemer in the Creation! The bottom line is that the Gospel must impact how we view and understand the original creation week!  The implications are theological, spiritual and personal!  Opening and closing music by: https://www.purple-planet.com

The Bible on the other hand, says the earth is only 6 thousand years old!  The question is, “WHO is right?”  At the same time, and relative to that first question, “what about Genesis 1-11, are we to take these chapters of the Bible LITERALLY, or are they only POETRY or say an ALLEGORY? ““When it comes to understanding the creation, that is all around us, what role should our modern science play?  In this message that look deeply into   the wonders of the universe and the Glory of Creation, we come to understand that when it comes to pondering creation the WHO question is far more important than the HOW question!  Opening and closing music by: https://www.purple-planet.com

The New Testament was written 2,000 years ago in the time of Jesus.  Can a document that old really be trustworthy?  In week 2 of the series DEFENDING THE FAITH we look at the evidence for why the Bible can indeed be trusted! In fact, we will actually use the Bible to prove the Bible!    It is a powerful testimony to the accuracy and reliability of God’s Word.  It gets even better though, as we will look at, not only the THEOLOGICAL evidence for the Bible, But the PRACTICAL evidence for the Bible as well.  In the end, this is a Book to be lived out! And when we do live it out, we will...  Build stronger relationships, know deeper contentment, Experience Greater joy, find a Safer Refuge, and Discover our Truest Worth.     TODAY’S BIG IDEA: We can Trust God’s Word It is an Expression of God’s Love!  Opening and closing music by: https://www.purple-planet.com

In this message leading us to the communion table, we examine a most interesting Psalm. Psalm 22 is written by David, it is HIS Psalm and yet in many ways it is also our Psalm. Ultimately though, this Psalm, is not just POETIC, it is also PROPHETIC. Considered one of the Messianic Psalms, this Psalm takes us directly to Christ and His encounter with the cross. Yet even though this Psalm embodies the most intense of suffering, Psalm 22 ends with an amazing message of Hope! The parallels are profound! The story is moving! The love is clear! Listen in as we learn the story behind the Psalm. THE BIG IDEA: The Pain Passes, But the Beauty Remains! Fill In The Blank Notes
