Advent 2012

Our culture has a "hurry up" attitude in the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's so easy to get caught up in it the flurry of activity. This is why I love Advent. This is the season where we slow down and remember. Here's how the Worship Sourcebook describes Advent:

The great proclamation “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” assures us that God has entered into human history through the incarnation of the Son. The season of Advent, a season of waiting, is designed to cultivate our awareness of God’s actions - past, present, and future.

Hidden With Christ

Our new sermon series in Colossians begins on Sunday, July 22. 

"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you will also appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:2-4

Joseph. Providence. God.

This Sunday I conclude my sermon series on Joseph by examining providence. RC Sproul sums up God's providence in Joseph's life very well: 

“We are creatures with a will of our own. We make things happen. But God’s sovereign providence stands over and above our actions. He works out his will through the actions of human wills, without violating the freedom of those human wills. The clearest example of this that we find in the Scriptures is in the case of Joseph and his brothers. Though Joseph’s brothers incurred true guilt through their treachery against him, the providence of God was working through their sin.” RC Sproul

Joseph.

One young man.
One foolish father.
Ten angry brothers.
Jealousy. Hatred. Betrayal.
Slavery. Temptation. Prison.
Sovereignty.

Welcome to Joseph's world.
