For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

The Gospel of God: Stumbling Over or Collapsing Upon? 32:47

49 weeks ago32:47

32:47

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 9:30-10:21 “The bar for reaching heaven’s entry is so low that only a few will reach it.” Scott Sauls “I often see the most significant self-deception and lack of self knowledge in people and contexts that proclaim a robust doctrine of sin. And I see the most anxiety and control in people and contexts that proclaim God’s omnipotence. Anyone see this too? What do you make of this?” Chuck Degroat “In light of the decline in church attendance in America, I am often asked for my thoughts. Here they are (in a nutshell): The harvest is plentiful. The workers are many. We need to stop wringing our hands and get harvesting.” Rebecca McLaughlinThe post The Gospel of God: Stumbling Over or Collapsing Upon? first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

Have Mercy 40:09

40:09

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 9:14-29 “It is at first unsettling to be confronted with God’s absolute sovereignty in our salvation. But ultimately this is our true security, for if there was nothing in us, but only God’s good pleasure, that brought us into grace, then there is nothing in us that can take us out of grace.” Robert Yarbrough “The moment of surrender is the moment you choose to lose control of your life, the split second of powerlessness where you trust that some kind of ‘higher power’ better be in charge, because you certainly aren’t.” Bono “Behind the history you witness is a History-Maker who can be trusted; beneath the values you violate is the mercy to forgive you; beyond the death you must die is the life he has pioneered: resurrection.” Glen ScrivenerThe post Have Mercy first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: Tragic Unbelief and Miraculous Belief 36:28

36:28

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 9:1-13 “I never wanted to follow Jesus. I never wanted to follow Jesus. I never wanted to follow Jesus. He rescued me, He rescued me. No turning back, no turning back.” Red Mountain Music “There’s a direct correlation between the accuracy of our memory and the effectiveness of our mission. If we’re not teaching people how to be saved, it’s perhaps because we’ve forgotten the tragedy of being lost. If we’re not teaching the message of forgiveness, it may be because we don’t remember what it was like to be guilty. And if we’re not preaching the cross, it could be that we’ve subconsciously decided that—God forbid—somehow we don’t need it.” Max Lucado “Continue seeking him with seriousness. Unless he wanted you, you would not be wanting him.” C.S. LewisThe post The Gospel of God: Tragic Unbelief and Miraculous Belief first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

Good Morning People in a Good Night World 33:29

33:29

Series: Latest SermonScripture: Mark 16:1-8 “Anyone can be sentimental about the Nativity; any fool can feel like a Christian at Christmas. But Easter is the main event; if you don’t believe in the resurrection, you’re not a believer.” John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany “Jesus was the only one that ever raised the dead,” The Misfit continued, “and He shouldn’t have done it. If He did what He said, then there’s nothing for you to do but throw away everything and follow him, and if He didn’t, then it’s nothing for you to do but enjoy the few minutes you got left…” Flannery O’Connor, A Good Man is Hard to Find “How can this strange story of God made flesh, of a crucified savior, of resurrection and new creation become credible for those whose entire mental training has conditioned them to believe that the real world is the world which can be satisfactorily explained and managed without the hypothesis of God? I know of only one clue to the answering of that question, only one real hermeneutic of the gospel: a congregation which believes it.” Lesslie NewbiginThe post Good Morning People in a Good Night World first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

How to Welcome a King (For Dummies) 35:25

1 year ago35:25

35:25

Series: Latest SermonScripture: Mark 11:1-11 “Now to the gate of my Jerusalem, The seething holy city of my heart, The saviour comes. But will I welcome him? Oh crowds of easy feelings make a start; They raise their hands, get caught up in the singing, And think the battle won. Too soon they’ll find The challenge, the reversal he is bringing Changes their tune. I know what lies behind The surface flourish that so quickly fades; Self-interest, and fearful guardedness, The hardness of the heart, its barricades, And at the core, the dreadful emptiness Of a perverted temple. Jesus come Break my resistance and make me your home.” Malcolm Guite, Palm Sunday: A Sonnet “It is ourselves that we must spread under Christ’s feet, not coats or lifeless branches or shoots of trees, matter which wastes away and delights the eye only for a few brief hours. But we have clothed ourselves with Christ’s grace, with the whole Christ — ‘for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ’ — so let us spread ourselves like coats under his feet.” Andrew of Crete, 8th CenturyThe post How to Welcome a King (For Dummies) first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: He is For You! 32:49

1 year ago32:49

32:49

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 8:31-37 “What matters supremely therefore is not in the last analysis the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it – the fact that he knows me. I am graven on the palms of his hands. I am never out of his mind. All knowledge of him depends on his sustained initiative in knowing me. I know him because he first knew me, and continues to know me. He knows me as a friend, one who loves me; and there is no moment when his eye is off me, or his attention distracted from me, and no moment therefore when his care falters. This is momentous knowledge… There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love for me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench his determination to bless me.” J. I. Packer, Knowing God “The work which His goodness began, The arm of His strength will complete; His promise is yea and amen, And never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, Not all things below nor above Can make Him His purpose forego, Or sever my soul from His love. My name from the palms of His hands Eternity will not erase; Impressed on His heart it remains In marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, As sure as the earnest is given More happy, but not more secure, The glorified spirits in heaven.” Augustus TopladyThe post The Gospel of God: He is For You! first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: Between Groaning and Glory 28:44

28:44

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 8:18-30 “We shake with joy, we shake with grief. What a time they have, these two housed as they are in the same body.” Mary Oliver “Wisdom teaches us that tears, at their best, pay tribute to something lost that was once cherished, and it was wise to cherish it. We lament the loss of a genuine good.” Zack Eswine “The absence of hope is a hellish state of utter despair. In contrast, Christian faith offers hope as a present reality, a foretaste of heaven directing us toward an eternal relationship with Christ. This hope is not a passive waiting at a departure gate but an active journey, empowered by faith in God’s promises, providence, and power. It’s a hope we can hold fast because God has promised to finish what he started in us.” David CassidyThe post The Gospel of God: Between Groaning and Glory first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: War and Peace 28:14

28:14

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 8:12-17 “A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.” J.C. Ryle “The spiritual world cannot be made suburban. It is always frontier, and if we would live in it, we must accept and even rejoice that it remains untamed.” Howard R. Macy “The love of God is not a mild benevolence; it is a consuming fire.” Bede Griffiths “It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that ‘from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy.’ To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun.” C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn TreaderThe post The Gospel of God: War and Peace first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Fountain of Life 27:31

1 year ago27:31

27:31

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 8:1-11 “I tell myself that if I serve more, sign up for more, read my Bible more, just be more, then finally, I will be enough to be in a real relationship with God. But that’s all smoke and mirrors. We’re all fatally wanting, and though we try our best, we can’t hide it from the One who made us. And yet, we are found whole and without stain: ‘There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus’ (Rom 8:1). He looks to judge us, failing and phony people, and sees instead His perfect, pure and blameless Son. We can breathe. We are free.” Emily Price “[The Holy Spirit] internalizes the triumphs of Christ crucified within the depths of the human being, so that our inclinations start changing from evil to good. The law cannot do that. The law tells us to pump harder, but the Holy Spirit makes springs of living water flow from within. The law tells us to pedal faster, but the Holy Spirit fills our sails. And that is the power of real holiness.” Ray Ortlund, Jr. “The same Christ who overcame every temptation and was perfectly obedient—that Jesus is in you now. The Jesus who had compassion on the crowds and who healed the sick—that Jesus is in you. The humble Jesus who led as a servant, who washed his disciples’ feet—he’s in you. The Jesus who repeatedly shattered racial barriers with his teachings and in his life—that Jesus is in you. The Jesus who suffered and loved to the end—he dwells in you. And the Jesus who was raised to new life—that Jesus is living in you right now!” Rankin WilbourneThe post The Fountain of Life first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: The Normal Christian Life 38:26

1 year ago38:26

38:26

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 7:13-25 “When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a rational animal; I say I am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer.” Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel “I am a riddle to myself; a heap of inconsistencies.” John Newton “I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am.” John NewtonThe post The Gospel of God: The Normal Christian Life first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: Not Under or Above but Towards the Law of God 32:17

1 year ago32:17

32:17

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 7:1-12 “Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone …. Apart from Christ we can do nothing, so if we do nothing, we can be sure it is apart from him.” Dallas Willard “In Jesus’ death and resurrection, the whole test-passing, brownie-point-earning rigmarole of the human race has been canceled . . . The gospel of grace is the final posting of the CLOSED sign on the sweatshop of the human race’s perpetual struggle to think well of itself.” Robert Farrar Capon “Spiritual practices don’t justify us. They don’t save us. Rather, they refine our Christianity; they make the inheritance Christ gives us on the Cross more fully our own. The spiritual disciplines – such as regular prayer, and fasting, and tithing, and attentiveness to our bodies – can form us as Christians throughout our lives. Are we obligated to observe these disciplines? Not generally, no. Will they get us into heaven? They will not. Practicing spiritual disciplines does not make us Christians. Instead, the practicing teaches us what it means to live as Christians.” Lauren WinnerThe post The Gospel of God: Not Under or Above but Towards the Law of God first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: Slavery, Freedom, and Destiny 43:42

1 year ago43:42

43:42

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 6:15-23 “If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” C.S. Lewis “In service which Thy will appoints, there are no bonds for me; For my inmost heart is taught “the truth” that makes Thy children ‘free’; A life of self–renouncing love is a life of liberty. Anna Waring “I am growing in the awareness that God wants my whole life, not just part of it. It is not enough to give just so much time and attention to God and keep the rest for myself. It is not enough to pray often and deeply and then move from there to my own projects. As I try to understand why I am still so restless, anxious, and tense, it occurs to me that I have not yet given everything to God. I especially see this in my greediness for time. I am very concerned to have enough hours to develop my ideas, finish my projects, fulfill my desires. Thus, my life is in fact divided into two parts, a part for God and a part for myself. Thus divided, my life cannot be peaceful . . . Every time I pray I feel the struggle. It is the struggle of letting God be the God of my whole being. It is the struggle to trust that true freedom lies hidden in total surrender to God’s love.” Henri NouwenThe post The Gospel of God: Slavery, Freedom, and Destiny first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

The Gospel of God: Being Who You Are 34:28

1 year ago34:28

34:28

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 6:1-14 “Salvation by grace, salvation by free grace, salvation not by works but according to the mercy of God is indispensable to godliness. Retain a single shred or fragment of legality with the Gospel and you take away the power of the Gospel to melt and conciliate. On the tenure of ‘do this and you will live,’ a spirit of fearfulness is sure to enter; and the man striving to be square and even with his Creator is, in fact, pursuing all the while his own selfishness instead of God’s glory. It is only when, in the Gospel, acceptance is bestowed as a present, without money and without price, [that he can then] repose in Him as one friend reposes in another… rejoicing in the impulse of gratitude, by which he is awakened to the charms of a new moral existence. And never does the sinner find within himself so mighty a moral transformation, as when under the belief that he is saved by grace, he feels constrained thereby to offer his heart a devoted thing, and to deny ungodliness . . . The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is by the expulsive power of a new one. It is only when admitted into the number of God’s children through faith in Jesus Christ that the spirit of adoption is poured out on us– it is then that the heart, brought under the mastery of one great and predominant affection, is delivered from the tyranny of its former desires, and the only way that deliverance is possible.” Thomas Chalmers “This life, therefore, is not righteousness but growth in righteousness not health but healing not being but becoming not rest but exercise. We are not what we shall be, but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished, but it is going on; This is not the end, but it is the road. All does not gleam in glory but all is being purified.” Martin LutherThe post The Gospel of God: Being Who You Are first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…

33:37

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 5:12-21 “If death got the upper hand through one man’s wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, absolute life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?” Eugene Peterson, The Message “We think that Paradise and Calvary, Christ’s cross, and Adam’s tree, stood in one place; Look, Lord, and find both Adams met in me; As the first Adam’s sweat surrounds my face, May the last Adam’s blood my soul embrace.” John Donne, Hymn to God, My God, in My Sickness “Humble people own up to their sins. They laugh at what’s foolish in their lives, but they grieve over their sins. And then they trust the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. They trust the Lamb of God to take away their sins too.” Cornelius Plantinga, Under the Wings of GodThe post The Gospel of God: The Reign/Rain of Grace first appeared on Hope Church PCA.…
