The Insanity of God and How it will Save Us
04/09/21 • 53 min
The presence of evil in the world feels overwhelming. But Jesus said, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). Evil will not win. But what will it take for the Church to experience the victory of Jesus in this world? It will take the insanity of God.
Missionary, Nik Ripken, wrote a powerful book called "The Insanity of God" about his transformational journey to discover how the Church survives and thrives in hostile atmospheres. I just read this book, and it is dynamite! I will share with you four lessons I gleaned for immediate application in the Western Church today.

How First Centruy Jews Began to Worship Jesus
How did monotheist Jews begin to worship a man named Jesus as God? Western Christians know that Jesus is God, but we often fail to make a well-articulated argument for how that came to be. We often start with beliefs about God that come from various places, and then we say that Jesus is THAT God's son. But this argument is backward. Today, I want to explain how faithful, monotheist first-century Jews began to worship Jesus as the one and only God.
