He's Still Their God
When the Sadducees bring Jesus a riddle meant to make resurrection look ridiculous, he takes them to the burning bush. There, centuries after three funerals, God tells Moses, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." Not "was." God tied his forever name to flawed, specific people, and death isn't strong enough to break that. "To him all are alive." Terry shares a message about what this means for the people we've buried: how to grieve, as Paul says, "not like the rest." Say their names. Tell their stories, the funny ones too. And let the church carry the grief together, long after the casseroles stop coming.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
