Part Four
As our national conversation continues to focus on justice, we hear people everywhere using the same words to talk about what is going in the world, but they are not using them in the same way. Specifically, we hear people using words like “justice” and “peace” and “law” and “order” without understanding which realities these words point to, what shape they should take in society, and most importantly, where they actually come from. For all these reasons, it has never been more important to recover the truth that God is the source and the standard for justice. This is exactly what we will be doing in our Social Justice Matters, a series of conversations about matters of social justice.

Here we find the good news of light for those who dwell in darkness. Here is the promise of justice for those who are oppressed. Here is joy that replaces every sorrow. Here is endless life instead of death. And at the center of it all is a reigning king, a suffering servant, and a hopeful messenger—not three different men, but one glorious Messiah—born his people to deliver, born a child and yet a king, born to reign in us forever, born to set his people free.

Generous Like Christ
Every person alive is in the process of becoming more—or less—like who they were made to be. But who are we? What are we here for? And how do people change? The gospel reveals that Jesus is the answer to all three questions: We are made in his image, and we are called to become more like him in all our thoughts, desires, and character. Yet this transformation is impossible to maintain by self-improvement and moral restraint alone. Rather, it takes a gradual process of “working out what God works in” through the saving grace of Jesus and the power of his Spirit.

Adorn Q&A
Between believing the gospel and advancing the good news in the world is the call to adorn the gospel as daughters of God (1 Tim. 2:9-10). To adorn the gospel as women means embracing the strengths, dispositions, and callings that God has given for displaying his glory in ways that only women can do (1 Peter 3:3-6). It means resisting the cultural pressure that reduces or eliminates the need for femininity by treating discipleship and mission as genderless pursuits (Titus 2:1-6). And it means trusting that God is wise and good, and that redemption entails adorning, not abandoning, all that he made women to be (Gen. 1:27).

What Men Do
Once upon a time, men blessed the world. Women rarely had to open doors, and little old ladies never had to cross the street alone. Men took charge, worked hard, and laid down their lives—because that’s what they were made to do. But somewhere along the way, the world decided it no longer needed men. And faster than you could say “skinny jeans,” men were stripped of their masculinity and left stranded on the road between boyhood and androgyny. But today there are questions our gender neutral society has no answer for: misogyny, pornography, rape culture and #MeToo, bullying, school shootings, isolation and depression, single mothers, absentee fathers, the opioid epidemic, the Alt-Right. What if the problem isn’t too much masculinity, but nowhere near enough? What if the problem is that guys are told to be a man but nobody knows what that means anymore? What if instead of blaming “toxic masculinity” we recovered God’s compelling vision for men? Only then will we again be able to bless the world.

The Scriptures are Experiential
It is written. It is loved. It is hated. It is against the law in many places, Yet it is the source of law, its very basis. It is ancient. It is future. It is present. It is poetry, history, story, and blessing. It is knowledge carved into stones, And it’s printed on t-shirts, And plastered on billboards, And hung on the walls of our homes. It is ink on pages. It is scribal scribblings. It is eternal wisdom. It is life giving. It is the Word of God, A spoken script, A speaking Scripture, Holy Writ. It’s the word about the Word made flesh. It’s the words from the One whose breath Spoke and there was light, Separated the day from the night, Spoke again and there was life. And that Word is still speaking Through his written word: The word of the Lord, Sacred writings, Spirit’s sword. It’s a God-breathed, man-written Spoken Word for all the broken. And it was given to make us whole, ‘Cause man can’t live on bread alone.

And just as their lives give us snapshots of the heart of God to save the world, so our lives must do the same for everyone we encounter: neighbors, enemies, family, or friends—everyone is invited to come to Christ.

Grace Be With You
A final farewell, a piece of parting advice, a last request—when the end of life is near, the gravity of death adds weight to the words that are spoken. They make an impact. They stick with us. They leave their mark. The same is true of Paul's last letter to young Timothy. Writing from death row, Paul sent the letter to Timothy, his beloved son in the faith. Here are Paul’s last words to a “young buck,” his mature counsel about what really matters, his ultimate exhortations to Timothy—and to us. Guard the gospel. Be strong in grace. Pursue righteousness. Endure hardship. Fight the good fight. And above all, keep the faith. For the strength that enables us to endure is found in the One who rescued us, upholds us, and will carry us safely to the end.

A Word from God
Some stories are so grand they need more than one author to tell them. Thus God chose four witnesses—four Gospels—to explain the good news about Jesus: the voice of a man, the roar of a lion, the grunt of an ox, the call of an eagle. Each witness speaks with a tone all his own, but all speak with one voice about the coming of Jesus so long ago foretold: “The glory of the Lord shall be revealed.” “And shall achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” “And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”So join us this Advent as we listen to four witnesses, remembering anew the good news of our Savior’s birth as we celebrate with joy all that’s now true because of Jesus.

Panel Discussion
Facing attacks from within and without, men today seem like a far cry from who they were created to be: “the image and glory of God” (1 Cor 11:7). Men are now 30% more likely than women to drop out of school, 25% less likely to attend college, 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit disorders, and more than 3 times more likely to commit violent crimes. Meanwhile, movies and TV shows portray men as short-tempered, incompetent morons who care only about sex, sports, and “man caves.”The gospel is the only thing that can reverse the ever-widening gap between the lives of men and God’s design for men. By his death and resurrection Jesus has created a new day for men, calling them out of sin and selfishness into a life of glory and grace. “Today is the day of salvation,” God says (2 Cor 6:2), which means today is the day God begins to make us into who he designed us to be: “the image and glory of God.”

No child is born with an owner's manual in hand, but that doesn't mean raising children is a choose-your-own-adventure story. After all, God created the family, so apart from him we've got no hope of helping children become what God created them to be. The good news is we haven't been left to figure out parenting on our own. God's Word speaks powerfully about what it means to be a parent, and his grace promises to help us every step of the way.

Our lives are more than a few radical decisions and "life-changing moments" separated by long stretches of time. No, the story of our lives is written in the millions of seemingly insignificant things that we carry on for decades. It's the everyday of life where God meets us, working through ordinary means to accomplish his extraordinary purposes.Weekly church gatherings, humble service, diverse vocations, conversations with friends, simple bread and wine -- these are how God changes the world, but they would be lifeless apart from Jesus. He breathes life into dust and forms the clay, turning his ordinary church into the extraordinary people of God, a community set apart for the "radical" work of everyday faithfulness.

Born a sibling to the Savior of the world, James rejected his brother until the resurrection of Jesus changed him forever. His doubts melted and his fears relieved, James was changed from a hard skeptic into a die-hard follower of Jesus. He later became an influential pastor in Jerusalem, where he preached the good news about Jesus until he was murdered for his beliefs. James also wrote down his thoughts in a book that bears his name. These 'reflections of a former skeptic' show us how God used the gospel to fill the emptiness of his old life with genuine wisdom, humility, and faith—and God is still doing the same for us today

Jesus is the only source of lasting hope for a hopeless world. All other “hopes” are merely fairytale wishes and delusional dreams that cannot deal with the difficulties of life.

The Dawn of a New Day
The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him Emmanuel (which means, 'God with us')." "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."Thus the book of Matthew ends as it began: with Jesus and the promise of God with us. For Jesus is the son of the promise and the risen Lord who is with his people always.

A World without Hope
For centuries God prepared his people for the coming of his Son, Jesus, the promised Messiah and Lord of all creation. His birth marked the dawn of redeeming grace and a turning point in the history of the world. Centuries later his coming is still celebrated during Advent and Christmas, the season for remembering that Jesus is the foundation for everything.Because if we took Jesus out of the world, what would we have left? A world a where our selfishness is excused and even celebrated, a world where our sorrows are numbed but never cured, a world where chaos and confusion are the order of the day, a world where the fate of everyone would only be death and meaninglessness. That's the world without Jesus.But the world with Jesus is radically different: his life gives joy, his rule brings peace, his death defines love, and his resurrection sustains hope. Love, joy, peace, and hope—they are Jesus' gifts to the world, and he gives them freely to all who come to him.

Make a Decision
The life of Jesus pushes us off the fenceposts of doubt and indecision, calling us to make up our minds about him. For even the refusal to decide actually is a decision when it comes to him: "Whoever is not with me is against me," he warns (Luke 11:23).That is why Jesus says, "Seek and you will find" (Matthew 7:7). And he says, "The truth will set you free" (John 8:32), since he knows where the truth is found: "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).The choice is clear: "How long will you waver, limping between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him!" (1 Kings 18:21). This is the inescapable decision that Jesus puts before us all. "Choose this day whom you will serve" (Joshua 24:15), for "No one can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24). Jesus says to us even now, "Come, follow me."

Jesus Will Come
After facing years of persecution and devastation, God's people were finally back in the land he had given them. Yet their hope seemed as broken as the city walls. The temple was a shadow of its former glory. There was no king on David's throne. So the people grew afraid. Many turned their backs on God. They began to wonder: Will the Lord keep his promises? Will he bring justice to the world? Will he return to his people?The book of Malachi gives the answer: God is coming. Remember his love and faithfulness. Give up your idols and turn back to him. For those who stand against him, his coming will be a raging fire. But for those who trust in him, his coming will be like the dawning of the sun, full of light and hope and healing for the nations.Over four hundred years later, the prophecy of Malachi was fulfilled in Jesus. He was Emmanuel, God with us. As we enter the Advent season, we share in the longing of all God's people-not for the arrival of the Messiah, but for his glorious return. God is coming.

Working For the Weekend?
When God created the universe he didn't make a giant grey lump. He stretched out the heavens like a canvas, filling them with objects of various colors and shapes and sizes. He established the laws of nature and the order of the world. He created life where there was no life, giving his creatures the capacity to bring forth new generations as diverse as every life form on the planet. And he did all of this on purpose-diversity by design. God established differences in his creation so that all things might complemenet each other as they live in accordance with his wise plan.But mankind's rebellion against God brought disorder into the world. Instead of diversity in harmony, we live in alienation and prejudice. Instead of finding beauty in our complementary natures, we push for sameness. Instead of right and wrong, we talk of customs and opinions. This has not led to greater freedom and happiness, but to confusion and despair. Only Jesus leads us to see the beauty of God's diverse creation and our place in it, so that he is glorified, we are satisfied, and the world is renewed.

Only Jesus leads us to see the beauty of God's diverse creation and our place in it, so that he is glorified, we are satisfied, and the world is renewed.

Q&A A Good Man is Hard to Find?
When God created the universe he didn't make a giant grey lump. He stretched out the heavens like a canvas, filling them with objects of various colors and shapes and sizes. He established the laws of nature and the order of the world. He created life where there was no life, giving his creatures the capacity to bring forth new generations as diverse as every life form on the planet. And he did all of this on purpose-diversity by design. God established differences in his creation so that all things might complemenet each other as they live in accordance with his wise plan.But mankind's rebellion against God brought disorder into the world. Instead of diversity in harmony, we live in alienation and prejudice. Instead of finding beauty in our complementary natures, we push for sameness. Instead of right and wrong, we talk of customs and opinions. This has not led to greater freedom and happiness, but to confusion and despair.

Content In Christ
Paul the apostle explained to the Christians at Philippi, "The only thing that matters is that your way of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ." We have the same calling, since we belong to the same Lord. In humility the Lord Jesus became as we are, so that we might become as he is. It's his grace that makes us citizens of heaven, and it's the same grace that changes us from the inside out, replacing our anger with patience, our anxiety with peace, our selfishness with generosity, our rivalry with love, our division with unity, and our sorrow with joy.

What is Heaven?
The gospel is like the ocean. Its shores are shallow, but its bottoms are deep. It is friendly enough to welcome a child, but profound enough to study forever. The gospel is also like a building. It has one foundation, fixed and firm, but its ceiling's only limit is the builder's imagination. It's basic, yet boundless. It's simple, yet complex. It's one gem, yet it has many facets. It's the gospel, and it's good news that changes everything.

Sent to Proclaim Jesus
Even though the book of Acts records the story of the early church, its author says that the book is all about what Jesus is continuing to do and teach. So instead of thinking of the book as "The Acts of the Apostles" or "The Acts of the Church", we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus – Part II", since he is the main focus and principal actor.When we come to the end of the book, we find it's not much of an ending at all. The story continues, and we're part of it! In this way the book is also like a play in which we are invited to become "actors" ourselves, people with specific roles and speaking parts. Like the rest of Jesus' followers throughout the book, we are called to proclaim Jesus as Lord—not as a distant memory of a fallen ruler-but as a living and powerful King, a person who continues to act within the real world. The resurrection was real. Jesus really is alive. And his risen body marks the beginning of God's new creation, a renewal that restores what God has made through the powerful working of the Spirit who liberates us from our slavery to sin and death, and calls us to proclaim Jesus' redeeming reign in all we say and do.

So instead of thinking of the book as "The Acts of the Apostles" or "The Acts of the Church", we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus – Part II", since he is the main focus and principal actor.When we come to the end of the book, we find it's not much of an ending at all. The story continues, and we're part of it! In this way the book is also like a play in which we are invited to become "actors" ourselves, people with specific roles and speaking parts. Like the rest of Jesus' followers throughout the book, we are called to proclaim Jesus as Lord—not as a distant memory of a fallen ruler-but as a living and powerful King, a person who continues to act within the real world. The resurrection was real. Jesus really is alive. And his risen body marks the beginning of God's new creation, a renewal that restores what God has made through the powerful working of the Spirit who liberates us from our slavery to sin and death, and calls us to proclaim Jesus' redeeming reign in all we say and do.

Money & The Generous Life
Greed is a subtle and deadly sin. It grows in our hearts like a weed that slyly slinks up from the ground, slowly choking the life of a garden. "Watch out!" Jesus says, "Be on guard against all kinds of greed" (Luke 12:15). He also warned, "No one can serve two masters, for he will either love one and hate the other, or he will devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon [money]" (Matt. 6:24). But we pay little attention to his warnings, because we don't think we're greedy—perhaps the truest sign that greed already has gripped our hearts! This is tragic, for the way of greed is the way of emptiness and death. It is why we have a culture of consumption, but feel like we can never get enough. It is why we talk of "moderation" while we live in extravagant abundance. And it is why we spend on ourselves instead of using what we have to love and serve those around us.Yet there is hope in the gospel of grace. Jesus left the glories of heaven, becoming destitute for our sake, so that through him we might become rich in what truly matters: grace upon grace (2 Cor. 8:9). This grace changes hearts filled with greed into hearts filled with generosity. For when we grasp what we've been given by the grace of Jesus, we'll find it easier to let go of fleeting things (Heb. 10:34), and we'll learn that he wasn't lying when he said, "It is more blessed to give than receive" (Acts 20:35).

Who should we be?
You are what you eat. You are what you do. You are what you feel. You are what you choose. You are what others say about you. You are your biology. Or are you?Attempts to define ourselves have left us with endless questions about our identity. But what remains when our desires and our choices are stripped away? Who are we really? God never intended for us to be lost and confused. He made us to know who we are by knowing who he is. And when the light of the gospel shines in our lives, it exposes every wayward effort to define ourselves by revealing our true identity: people made in the image of God and redeemed by the work of Christ.

The Grace of God'd Revelation
Even though the book of Acts records the story of the early church, its author says that the book is all about what Jesus is continuing to do and teach. So instead of thinking of the book as "The Acts of the Apostles" or "The Acts of the Church", we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus – Part II", since he is the main focus and principal actor.When we come to the end of the book, we find it's not much of an ending at all. The story continues, and we're part of it! In this way the book is also like a play in which we are invited to become "actors" ourselves, people with specific roles and speaking parts.

The Reconciler of All
Who is God? What is he doing in the world? And where do we even begin to look for answers to those questions? Maybe you tried reading the Bible, but it just felt like a jumbled mess of rules and random stories. Instead of making sense, it only seemed to increase your frustration and confusion.The good news is that's not how God intended for us to read his Word. In fact, much of Jesus' time was spent re-teaching his followers the Scriptures they had misunderstood for so long. He showed them that the Scriptures are a carefully crafted mosaic, painting one grand picture that shows us who Jesus is and what he has done. In other words, the Bible is all about the gospel of Jesus. And that's very good news indeed.

The Power for Community
Every day we're conditioned in countless ways to think and act as individuals. From the shows that we watch to the songs we download (even when and where we watch or listen to them), the customizability of nearly everything has created the illusion that the desires of the individual are supreme. Some have even turned the gospel of Jesus into a message about how individuals can get into heaven...But Jesus didn't die to rescue individuals.Jesus died to create a community of people that treasures him above all else. Through his death and resurrection on our behalf he has abolished every self-righteous reason for exclusion and separation, uniting his followers under one Lord, one hope, one calling, and one common unity in the gospel.
