Living to Be Memorialized
Ever heard of a guy named Cornelius? If you haven’t, you need to learn about him.
He and a young Jewish woman named Mary from a village called Bethany were the only two people in the New Testament whose lives the Lord sought to memorialize (“to preserve the memory of”). That is, because of how they caught the attention of heaven the Lord exalted them that others might emulate them.
So the question is, “Why were these two memorialized?”

I. HEARING ONE OF JESUS’ STRONGEST APPEALS IN SCRIPTURE
A. In the Gospels and in the book of Revelation we find Jesus’ repetitious use of a particular phrase:
He who has ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 11:15)
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches… (Rev. 2:7; 11; 17; 29; 3:6; 13; 22)
B. The central truths of the Gospel never change. But specific word of the Lord from generation to generation changes quite dramatically. We never graduate from the main and plain truths of the Gospel nor do we cease laboring to emphasize them as such. But it must be understood that there are transitional moments of history in which the Holy Spirit emphasizes unique and particular messages specific to that hour.
C. For example, in Matthew 11:15 Jesus beckoned that generation to hear what the Spirit was emphasizing through Jesus and John the Baptist. Matthew chapter 11 addresses a generation that by and large failed to discern and heed that message. Read more >>

Solitude and the Restoration of True Community
With the witness of Scripture, the testimony of Church history, and the conviction borne by personal experience all whispering in my ears, I am convinced that the call to Christ-centered solitude is one of the most important and yet most misunderstood and neglected practices in the Church; particularly in the west; specifically with regards to the cultivation of true community. The impact of this neglect is deep and wide.
In this session we’re going to look at the place of solitude in the midst of community.

He Showed Them the Full Extent of His Love (John 13:1)
The narrative of John 13-17 is one of the most precious portions of Scripture. The whole of the account took place on the eve of the Passover and Jesus’ crucifixion. These chapters detail Jesus’ last hours; what He was doing, what He was saying and what He was concerning Himself with.
The account of that memorable night begins in chapter 13 verse 1 with one of the strongest statements of Jesus’ affection and commitment to His own in all of Holy writ. This moving verse ? which will be our focal point in this article ? begins a new section of the book of John transitioning the reader from “the Book of Signs” (1-12) to “the Book of Glory” (13-20).
