<p>This episode is a message that Tim gave at the Quadra Island Bible Church on Sunday May 19, 2024.<br/><br/>In Luke chapter 14, Jesus was invited to dine with some Pharisees on the Sabbath, during which he taught them and told parables… Jesus made some challenging comments to them as he confronted head-on some of their misplaced religious confidence and exposed their self-righteousness. <br/><br/>In this setting Jesus tells the parable of the Great Banquet and warns the religious of his day not to trust in their own righteousness or become preoccupied with the things of the world lest they miss their invitation into God’s Kingdom. Jesus also demonstrates the radical compassion of God toward the poor, and once again points to the opposite-nature of the kingdom where the first become last and the last become first. <br/><br/>Lastly, Jesus uses this parable to invite us to live as he lived… to go among the poor and the broken in the streets, to welcome them - in fact compel them to God’s banquet, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these (James 2:5) </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1731675/open_sms">Send us a Text Message.</a></p>

<p>This episode is a message that Tim gave at Gateway Foursquare Church on November 5, 2023.

One of the central themes of Jesus’ prayer as recorded by John is that we as his followers would be one, as he and the Father are one (John 17:11,20-23). Scripture is clear that every single person who puts his/her faith in Jesus, instantly becomes part of <b>one</b> Body, by <b>one</b> spirit, serving <b>one</b> Lord. This is a universal, positional reality for every believer (see 1 Corinthians 12:12-13). In other words, unity is not a by-product of our human effort, it is the default position and a defining characteristic of the Church, and is an inward spiritual reality for every believer. <br/><br/>For many believers however, the positional reality of the unified Church can be difficult to reconcile with our ground-level experience. So many believers have experienced relational breakdown, jealously, discord, disunity, quarrelling, and church splits! Unity is something that comes under regular, focused attack of our adversary, and his aim is to destroy the fabric of the Church by sowing division and strife. <br/><br/>This is why Paul exhorts believers to be eager to <b>maintain</b> the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3). We have an active part to play to maintain unity within the Body of Christ, so that our relational, ground-level experience as believers accurately reflects the universal, eternal reality that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, but all are one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). <br/><br/>In this message Tim focuses on several passages of scripture to unpack this topic further, addressing the issue of division in the Church, and unity as a fundamental characteristic of all genuine believers, and one of God’s ultimate goals for the Church. <br/><br/>Enjoy this episode of Experiencing God with Tim Hart. <br/> </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1731675/open_sms">Send us a Text Message.</a></p>

<p>This episode is a message that Tim gave on September 10, 2023 at Gateway Foursquare Church in Campbell River BC. Visit <a href='https://gatewayfoursquare.ca/thisweek/'>https://gatewayfoursquare.ca/thisweek/</a> For more information about Gateway. <br/><br/>Almost every book of the New Testament mentions suffering, hardships and persecution that believers face. It is talked about by Jesus early in the gospels during the sermon on the mount, and is mentioned throughout the New Testament as something that is guaranteed for those who follow Jesus. Paul exhorted Timothy saying “indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). <br/><br/>For us in North America, this can often feel like a foreign concept - something that happens far away in other countries. For the past 200-300 years, until recently, North-American and Western culture was defined in part by over-arching, biblical core-values. There was a time when the Lord’s Prayer was recited in schools. People who weren’t necessarily devout followers of Jesus, would often attend Church on Christmas and Easter, and it was generally considered a good thing to be a church-going, God-fearing Christian. In recent decades however, our culture has made a radical shift away from over-arching Christian values, and has become far more secular. For this reason, it is likely going to become increasingly difficult and costly to be a follower of Christ in the coming decades.<br/><br/>In this message, we are reminded that Christians are guaranteed to face persecution and hardships. It is in these moments, that God tests us to bring forth maturity and genuine faith, proven to be of more worth than gold. Furthermore, Jesus actually requires us to understand that the Kingdom of God is the most value thing we could obtain, and we are to consider the high cost of being his disciple. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1731675/open_sms">Send us a Text Message.</a></p>
