Part 5: Nothing But Jesus

Starting Point

January 31, 2021 • Ronnie Rothe

If you are like most people, there’s probably a chapter in your life you’d like to erase or go back and do over. It might have been as far back as high school or college or maybe a recent relationship. We’ve all made bad decisions we can look back and laugh about, but just as many that elicit nothing but shame and regret. Addressing lingering shame and regret can lead to an experience that ignites personal faith in a way you may not believe possible. But there is only one primary way we actually experience forgiveness for this.

Part 1: The Question

The starting point for faith is not a Bible story. It’s not even the Bible. It's an event that leads to a question.

Part 2: The Problem

Let’s talk about sin baby…let’s talk about you and me. OK but seriously, sin is an uncomfortable word. It’s so uncomfortable that we’ve pretty much abandoned it. We do everything we can do avoid that word. But here’s the real deal. Sin harms our relationship with God and our relationships with other people. So we must talk about it.

January 17, 2021 • Ronnie Rothe

The introduction of sin into the human experience left God with somewhat of a dilemma if you will. Where would He begin the task of restoring the world from the effects of sin? Best we can tell, He had a choice to make. Either destroy the sin-infected world and start over, or roll up His sleeves and go to work fixing it, restoring everything to what He originally created it to be.
