Pastor Gary's Audio Notebooks Gary A Chorpenning

Human beings are not made to live for themselves. We are not designed to be the center of our own attention. We are designed to center our attention on God and others. We are designed to love God with our whole being and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Loving God and others is not ultimately about what we feel but rather how we live. But, alas, we are not the people we were designed to be. We have been broken, and so loving God and others does not come naturally to us. God saves us by pure grace. But he saves us for this life of love, and he gives us the disciplines of faithfulness to help us grow into the loving people we are meant to be. In this sermon, we’ll get an overview of these disciplines of God’s transformation in our lives.

Read Mark 8:27-34

Death is a truly universal aspect of the human experience. Regardless of who we are, we all have to reckon with the reality of death. The Bible gives us resources for understanding and dealing with this fact of human existence. Coming to terms with death unavoidably involves coming to terms with grief. Not only will we face grief at the prospect of our own death, but also we all must face grief because of the deaths of those whom we love. How are the followers of Jesus to grieve? That’s the topic of this episode. A sermon preached at Venice Presbyterian Church in suburban Pittsburgh, PA on March 26, 2017.

Everything we do, Paul tells us, we should do "in the name of the Lord Jesus." In this video, I explore the meaning of doing something in the name of someone else. It is a call to be that person's representative. What does it mean to be Jesus' representatives in the world? It means love--a genuine concern for the well-being of the other. When we love others, we embody the Lord Jesus in our troubled world. Produced October 16, 2020.
