"Ed continues his series on The Shape of Faith."
"Ed shares some thoughts on the direction he thinks to God is moving today."
Ed continues his discussion on the season of Epiphany. “I don't think we should think we "get" Jesus that simply. He may have made Himself completely accessible to us, but He is still full of mystery!"
"Ed continues his discussion of Epiphany in our lives. "
" (Hebrews 1:1...) God has spoken to us in many ways throughout history. But in these last days days, He has spoken to us by His son, whoom He appointed heir of all things, and through whoom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of His glory. What does that mean? If God is light – Jesus is the bright. If God is water – Jesus is the wet..."
"Born as a man – and yet also God among us. .His brilliance astounded those around Him and silenced his critics He name is Jesus"
"Ed shares the importance of why Jesus came as humanity to be amoung us "
"His name is Emmanuel – God is with us. Why would God come and be with us? What was He after? The gospel story is really the story of the Creator – God, taking responsibility for what happened to creation. It's the story of the creator – God, bearing the weight of our own problems on His shoulders. It's the story of Jesus coming to take what we caused... "
"It's Thanksgiving. What better time than now to talk about the importance of forgiveness in our lives. Here are some thoughts on how to make your time around the table with uncle Tom and sister-in-law Gurtrude great! God knows who your relatives are... and He put you smack in the middle of it all - into that mess! Why? Probably because there's something about you that just ticks God off... God puts people in our lives because he knows that they develope us... "
"What should we be doing as followers of Jesus to try to bless the world around us, lift hurting people, aide people in need, and help bring healing - socially and economically to those less privileged. We all want to help people, but we get stuck over a couple of issues. We don't always know how to help. Where do you start to help a world that's jammed with injustice? What do you do? We don't know how to see the hurting and really let them touch us without us feeling guilty that we have anything!"
In light of recent events within the evangelical Christian community, Ed shares from scripture and his own life about restoration.
"I wanna talk with you about these ideas of love , compassion, and mercy. These things come from another place. They help us as believers to be “other-centered.” It's not natural for us in a fallen world because we tend to be “takers” rather than “givers” because we want all the marbles... "
"I really think we need to fight for, contend for, and figure out ways of living transformed lives. Where our expression of faith is not just about letting our gift be on parade, or trying to find our annointing that we think will make us be more important in the world. But that we understand that God wants to fill our lives, annoint our lives with His presesence so that we can be great single people, great moms, great dads, great married folks--people who work with a little different spin on it, a different intention from the heart. And that we actually work through our stuff, and we are different... "
" At some point everyone of us has to step back and decide what it is we believe about the world that we are in. What’s really going on here? People have to decide whether or not they believe there’s a God!
