100 Big


This past Sabbath I preached on a message from Ephesians 3:14-21 called 100Big.  Not familiar with the term “100 Big”? Don’t worry. There's nothing wrong with you.  It's a term that my kids made up. In our home “100” is the ultimate superlative. So “100 Big” is the biggest you can get.  God is not just big, He’s 100 Big.  When we stretch our imaginations to their limit, we grasp only a glorious speck of our 100 Big God!  We can’t fully understand Him but we can fully surrender to Him.

Here’s what I forgot to say….

We are missing out on spiritual growth when…
…we stop stretching our concept of God.
…the wonders of God all make perfect sense.
…we no longer allow God’s glory to mess with our perspective.
…we appeal to the leftovers of God’s resources instead of the riches of His glory (v. 16).
…we become so content with “Big” that we lose our appetite for “100 Big”.

When we are “filled with all the fullness of God” (v.19) we don’t get a little version of God, but we do still have blurry vision of God. The limiting factor is not with Him but with us. He does not offer Himself to us with stingy rations. But we need stretched. We seek to “know this love that surpasses knowledge”(v.19).  We try to grasp a God who is “able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think” (v.20). We must allow our 100 Big God to continually resize Himself in our minds.

A New Living Faith in an Old Rugged Cross

This past Sabbath I preached a message from  Isaiah 43:14-21  entitled  A New Living Faith in an Old Rugged Cross .  I explored the tension between welcoming the new and holding onto the old.  Through the prophet Isaiah God called His people to “Remember  not the former things, neither consider the things of old” (Isaiah 43:18). Three chapters latter the same God called the same people to “Remember the former things of old” (Isaiah 46:9). Which is it?  Are we to run to the new or cling to the old? Well, both.  We are to welcome the new things that God leads us into while holding onto the unchangeable truth of who God is.  At the same time we are to run from the new things that will lead us away from God and from the old things that have kept us from Him. The point is not that it is new or that it is old but that it is God.  Here’s what I forgot to say…. God has promised to “make all things new”(Revelation 21:5). But He hasn’t promised to “make all new things”.  Th

Shadow of a Doubt

Last Sabbath I preached a message from Matthew 16:13-23 entitled Shadow of a Doubt. I challenged the idea that believers are called to live beyond the shadow of a doubt. Instead, we are called to have faith within the shadow.  In the text there are two stories, both about Peter and Jesus.  When we put these stories side by side there is an interesting contrast. Faith Within the Shadow (vv. 13-20) Certainty Beyond the Shadow (vv. 21-23) Confusion about Christ (vv.13-14) Clarity about Christ (v.21) Faith in Christ (vv.15-16) Certainty about Christ (v.22) Affirmation from Christ (v.17) Rebuke from Christ (v.23) “Blessed are you, Simon” (v.17) “Get behind me, Satan” (v.23) Truth Revealed to the Mind by God (v.17) Not Mindful of the Things of God (v.23) Where the Church is Built (v.18) Where the Church is Threatened  (v.23) When Peter had faith i

Nail Marks

This past Sabbath I preached a message from John 20:24-31 entitled Nail Marks.   We explored the tension between Thomas’ statement, “Unless I see…   I will never believe”(v.25) and Jesus’ statement, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe “(v.29).   These statements raise questions about the role of evidence in our faith.    On one extreme we have blind faith that closes it's eyes to the evidence and just believes.   On the other side we have blind doubt that closes it's eyes to the evidence and just doubts.   We don’t want either of those.   In John 20 Doubting Thomas becomes Believing Thomas. His story displays how faith relates to evidence, in this case, Nail Marks:     Requiring Nail Marks (v.25) – Thomas insisted on having evidence to base his faith on.         Waiting for Nail Marks (v.26) – Thomas showed that he was more of a seeker than a skeptic by the fact that he waited to the Nail Marks by coming into fellowship with the other disciples. He put
