// BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH

“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4 #ESV)

// DOUBTER’S GUIDE TO THE BIBLE

INSTAGRAM YO

Great day at #cityonahillmelb with @johnpauldickson preaching on how the Bible powerfully answers 3 of the fundamental questions of life:

  1. why the beauty? (God created with beauty, purpose and order)
  2. why the ugly? (Sin and fallenness runs through everything)
  3. where is God? (God is not aloof, but He is compassionate and has entered into the ugliness in the person and work of JESUS – at the cross JESUS takes our fallenness and offers life and forgiveness)

// LAYS ASIDE HIS GLORY

#JohnStott: “Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, and indifferent to the needs of mortals, until, it may be, they can badger him into taking action on their behalf. Such a view is wholly false. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to man to turn to him, while man is still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds him.”

Powerful conclusion to #cityonahillmelb #happinessis series from @guymason. If you missed it, get along to 6pm tonight or next week at #cityonahillwest or #cityonhillgeel.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”(Matthew 5:10-12 #ESV)
