Genesis 3:1-10: Where Are You?

Sermon preached at RUF's Wednesday Night Fellowship on Aug 30, 2017. We are kicking off our semester-long series, "Questions God Asks Us." Tonight we're introduced to the very first question God poses in the Bible: "Where are you?" We ask (and answer) three questions: why do we run and hide from God? How do we hide? And what does God do in response?

Matthew 13:44-46: Stories About Hidden Treasure

Sermon preached at RUF Large Group on Nov. 15. The kingdom of heaven [aka, kingdom of God] is our broken world made right. In these stories, Jesus reveals that the kingdom of heaven is here but hidden. It is subversive. Not only that, it is incredibly valuable. Finally, it cannot remain hidden forever. It changes you. While discovered in private, the effects of that discovery become public.
