This message explores the meaning of the unique phrase, “The Sign of Jonah” and unpacks how this sign works in bringing people unto a dynamic faith.  Sun, 17 Apr 2022 18:30:00 +0000 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/b5e6c876-5c4e-468c-9c59-b83a1578a955/Sunday-20Sermon-202022-2-20-204-17-22-2012-34-20PM.mp3 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/87f98a97-8cbe-4002-964a-17d6ad3bb994/Sunday-20Sermon-20-202022-20-204-10-22-2012-01-20PM.mp3 Inconvenience is something that, as humans, we specialize in avoiding at all costs. And yet, the entire make-up of the Christian life is based upon not just being available to God-orchestrated inconvenience, but wholeheartedly embracing these amazing grace-endowed inconveniences. For in the lustrous folds of these challenges, weights, financial drains and directional detours is the rich consolation of Heaven.  Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:00:00 +0000 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/87f98a97-8cbe-4002-964a-17d6ad3bb994/Sunday-20Sermon-20-202022-20-204-10-22-2012-01-20PM.mp3 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/54400ff8-0b56-4ee0-abec-0ca0a4db0992/Sunday-20Sermon-20-202022-20-204-3-22-2012-06-20PM.mp3 Many Christians are stuck in “observation-mode” and have a difficulty putting their Christian beliefs into actual practice. They stay seated in the very moment that standing up is most needed. Action-mode is the operationally successful position to have the Christian life in. But, action, in and of itself, doesn’t lead to success. In fact, action absent the love of Christ can wholly undermine the Kingdom cause just as much as non-action can. It is action governed by love that changes the world. So, though getting up out of our seat is an important start, finishing the “rising up” action with love is essential. Are we ready for our Oscar Moment?  Sun, 03 Apr 2022 18:00:00 +0000 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/54400ff8-0b56-4ee0-abec-0ca0a4db0992/Sunday-20Sermon-20-202022-20-204-3-22-2012-06-20PM.mp3 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/d1771783-21ea-4f62-9590-a80cdba1c0da/Sunday-Sermon-2022-3-27-22-11-27-AM.mp3 It is our human instinct to people-please. And some of us are more vulnerable to this strange phenomenon than others. But it is NOT our human instinct to God-please. Yet it essential for every believer to access the grace to rise above the pressures of the lowercase “t” they and learn to live for the pleasure of the capital “T” They. We are supposed to be avid, love-driven, grace empowered God-pleasers.  Sun, 27 Mar 2022 18:00:00 +0000 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/d1771783-21ea-4f62-9590-a80cdba1c0da/Sunday-Sermon-2022-3-27-22-11-27-AM.mp3 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/64582cf0-45cd-4383-ab49-234eee801e61/sunday-sermon-2022-3-20-22-3-48-pm.mp3 This message functions as both a Sunday sermon and the very first episode in Eric Ludy’s spring Daily Thunder series, entitled Becoming Brave, that explores the mechanical construct of spiritual and moral bravery. This initial episode enunciates the biblical foundation for living with heavenly courage in a world gone wrong. To hear the other episodes in this series visit https://ellerslie.com/daily/.

This is a more common problem than most people realize. However, there is an elixir for this strange phenomenon. This message refers to this elixir as, “the personal touch”. It is essential that a student of The Word of God have that the Text personalized to their understanding so that the Bible becomes living to them.

But Jesus came to save us from our natural propensities and to establish a new and altogether different behavior pattern in our lives. And in this new Kingdom behavior pattern, He intends to, not just convince us of the value of the low seat, but also empower us to select it . . . every time.

So many of us lose the lustre and the wonder that comes through waiting well, because we drain it through complaint, through frustration, and through self-pity. But, when we wait, as God has asked us to wait, the blessing that comes is always more than worth the challenge inherent in the waiting process.

Most of us would go to great lengths to avoid it at all costs. But in God’s system, earthly weakness (of any kind) is a catalyst to the formation of heavenly strength. And when the believer finally grips this fact, they can begin to take pleasure in this weakness, instead of fight it, beg it to go away, and waste its virtue through complaining. To rightly appropriate the power of weakness is one of the cardinal secrets of a successful Christian life.

If you don’t act in the short window supplied after the milk touches the flakes, the soggy soupy saucy stuff follows. The similarities between cereal eating and following Jesus are profound, and many of us have approached our obedience to Jesus as if it doesn’t matter how long it takes us to act. But, like cereal, there is a window of time when grace for action is being supplied. Let’s learn, as the Body of Christ, to take advantage of that window and not be the Soggy Cereal Man.
