Key Connections (April 13, 2018)

Are We Proclaiming a Hell We Don’t Deserve—and a Christ We Do? (Peter Gurry, The Gospel Coalition)

No one will ever be punished in hell for being unlike you in some superficial way. No, they will be punished for being so profoundly like you. That’s what is really shocking about hell. It’s shocking that we all deserve this fate, not one of us excluded.

How to Almost Follow Jesus (Marshall Segal, Desiring God)

With his help, we will go wherever he calls whenever he calls, knowing that he knows best, and that anything we lose or leave behind will be repaid a hundredfold and more.

Classes & Home Groups: Complementary or Competitive (Jen Wilkin, The Village Church)

Adding a well-chosen tool to the toolbelt of discipleship simplifies the task of ensuring our people know how to love God with their minds in addition to loving Him with their hearts.

A Light in the Dark Places (Zach Barnhart, Gospel Centered Discipleship)

We ask God to give us a sign for which way to turn, but we haven’t turned the lamp on. If his Word is our lamp and a light for the road, why do we always neglect to pack it for the trip?

My Dear Sweet Girl (Tim Challies, Tim Challies)

We all sin in different ways. Some sin loudly and some sin quietly. Some sin in their actions and some in their imaginations. But it’s all sin. Our problem isn’t just what we do, but who we are!

Trust God With the Spiritual Gifts He Gives (Kristen Wetherell, Unlocking the Bible)

God hasn’t messed up in not making me like my brother or sister—he’s done so on purpose, for the sake of his Son. And how much more will the world take notice when we’re all beautifully loving one another through the use of our spiritual gifts, ultimately displaying the glory of our Savior, who first loved us?
