Seeking Him

A True Repenter

A Productive Sorrow

Matthew 5:21-26
	Our world is littered with broken relationships. We have them in our families between husbands and wives, parents and children. We face them between employers and employees, with neighbors, different ethnic and social groups, between nations.
	The Bible gives us specific steps that bring healing to our personal relationship with God, and also other people.

Bob Short :: Creekside Church :: Sunday,November 5, 2023

Do we judge others while thinking we’re the ones on board with God and His plans? Paul’s teachings from Romans 2:1-16 call us to think again. From Bob Short’s exposition of this passage, we see the contrasting judgment of the self-righteous to God’s righteous and impartial judgment that runs according to His schedule, our deeds, and a just standard. We are reminded too that God’s judgment withheld provides more opportunity for those under sin to repent and turn to Jesus, the one who absorbed the wrath of God on our behalf. Bob's message follows a few brief announcements.

Pastor Chris continues our series in Hosea with the prophecy of the fate of Israel in the names of Hosea's children, and how God has Mercy even on those named No Mercy.

A Shout Of Warning - Hosea 1:6-11

Hells Gate

Onward led the road again
Through the sad uncoloured plain
Under twilight brooding dim,
And along the utmost rim
Wall and rampart risen to sight
Cast a shadow not of night,
And beyond them seemed to glow
Bonfires lighted long ago.
And my dark conductor broke
Silence at my side and spoke,
Saying, „You conjecture well:
Yonder is the gate of hell.”

All as yet the eye could see
The eternal masonry,
But beneath it on the dark
To and fro there stirred a spark.
And again the sombre guide
Knew my question, and replied:
At hell gate the damned in turn
Pace for sentinel and burn.

Dully at the leaden sky
Staring, and with idle eye
Measuring the listless plain,
I began to think again.
Many things I thought of then,
Battle, and the loves of men,
Cities entered, oceans crossed,
Knowledge gained and virtue lost,
Cureless folly done and said,
And the lovely way that led
To the slime pit and the mire
And the everlasting fire.
And against a smoulder dun
And a dawn without a sun
Did the nearing bastion loom,
And across the gate of gloom
Still one saw the sentry go,
Trim and burning, to and fro,
One for women to admire
In his finery of fire.

Ever darker hell on high
Reared its strength upon the sky,
And our footfall on the track
Fetched the daunting echo back.

And the hollowness of hell
Sounded as its master fell,
And the mourning echo rolled
Ruin through his kingdom old.
Tyranny and terror flown
Left a pair of friends alone,
And beneath the nether sky
All that stirred was he and I.

Silent, nothing found to say,
We began to back away;
And the ebbing lustre died
From the soldier at my side,
As in all his spruce attire
Failed the everlasting fire.
Midmost of the homeward track
Once we listened and looked back;
But the city, dusk and mute,
Slept, and there was no pursuit.
AE HOUSMAN 1941

DARKWORLD AFTERMATH SEQUENCE 7B: HELLS GATE with Kraftamt (Karstenholymoly)

Pastor Chris continues our series in Joel, discussing the call from God for us to repent and His promise of forgiveness.

With All Your Heart - Joel 2:12-14

05 May 5, 2024 You Are The Man

After spending nearly 15 years in federal prison, this former longtime drug addict got his freedom and became a pastor for a home church and a nonprofit recovery program that  is connected to a business in East Alabama. His is one of many inspiring success stories of faith and fitness that you'll hear on this "Run The Race" podcast.

(2:45) Pastor Chris Cloud first chats with me about the effectiveness and encouragement from having worship before work, which is what dozens of men do every early weekday morning at a company called Abel Electric in Salem, AL. He's one of a few pastors that work for the nonprofit Abel Ministries, being a light for former convicts, construction workers, men who need second chances.

(10:27) Chris shares his personal story, how he went from foster care to drug addiction to federal prison in 1998 to revival behind bars, where he really learned and practiced how to "Press In" to the things of God and totally focus on Him. He explains what that means and examples of pressing in. He reminds us...it's what we do IN the trial that defines us. He went from discipling others in prison to (23:05) working on the outside - helping men get on the right path, learn  a trade to be able to get a job, but how did discernment help them vet the men in their 12 month recovery program? Getting that acceptance and seeing other men freely worship God can also be a "culture shock."

(29:15) Chris' passion is raising others up to find their identity in Christ. It's about seeking HIM not things. And they're showing the community that there can be many success stories when faith is involved, these former convicts becoming positive citizens. They're celebrating those at Abel Ministries' first ever Graduation Gala for their recovery program Tuesday night October 1 at 7/6c at First Baptist Church in Opelika. To learn more about what Abel does and how you can help their growing ministry, planning to expand soon, go to https://www.abelministries.org/.

(37:55) As for fitness, Chris previously competed in bodybuilding, lost weight while using drugs for a decade, then actually became a certified personal trainer while in prison. He has Biblical advice for those going through dark times, and it won't happen overnight with a "crockpot God." He now uses his redemption story to help other inmates, addicts. (49:36) And he closes out this episode with a powerful prayer.

March 5 - Ash Wednesday (2025)

Ash Wednesday 2025

Jesus was facing betrayal, abandonment, and denial from his closest friends and followers. When we read of his time in the "upper room," his last peaceful hours, in Luke 22:24-38, we find him not glum or self-pitying, not selfish in any way. Instead, we read a divine others-focus. He calls us to serve others rather than to be served, to strengthen others who are weak or have lost their way, to suffer for Christ and therefore bless others. The way of Christ is others-focused.

The Way of Christ is Others-Oriented (Luke 22:24-38)-3-9-25-JeremiahKinney

In this episode of "Day1 Classics," we revisit a profound message from Rev. John Vannorsdall, a distinguished Lutheran preacher, former chaplain at Gettysburg College and Yale University, and past president of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

Originally preached in 1986 on The Protestant Hour, his sermon "Renouncing the Devil," based on Luke 13 v1-9, challenges us to reflect on the fundamental question of faith: Whose side are you on?

Joined by Rev. Dr. Tom Long and Rev. Dr. Jared Alcántara, host Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime explores how Vannorsdall’s call to repentance, allegiance, and spiritual realignment remains just as relevant today.
