Kirk of Christ
by Kirk
Physical taining makes us tougher, stronger and gives endurance: it enables us. Spiritual training can do the same thing. It can make us able to give more, be more patient & kind, to eliminate fear and stress. Most religious movements are more about healing or rehab - AFTER we're broken. These lessons are about PREVENTING failure by getting us stronger. Do you want to be a victim or a rescuer? "victims" need care, attention & pity - rescuers are the heroes who rush to help, to give, to love. Victims will find little comfort here. This isn't for sympathy or pity - it's about service, sharing, helping and contributing.

Family Problems (Torah #13)
Families talk. We bicker, we disagree, and we stay together because we are family and we're supposed to. Yet in several instances, God's word has records of family arguments where the people involved seem to completely forget that there is a Creator God, His name is Yahweh, and He comes first -...
-
Grasshopper Faith (Torah #12)
Sorry the sound is messed up on this one again. I fixed it some, and it's not too bad in the middle ... This episode is an attempt to recap the experiences of the three main characters from the burning bush, plagues, trials of desert life and dependency on God, camping at Sinai and receiving the...
-
Torah (Torah #11)
Okay this one is actually about the Torah itself: the law of Moses. Does it apply today? Should we post it in the courthouses of the USA? What does it have to do with anything? at least ... that's what I think this episode is about. Actually, I haven't listened to it, and don't remember what I...
-
The Ten Commandments (Torah #10)
Not much explanation necessary - the title says it all.
-
Lifted Hands (Torah #9)
Not much description for this lesson ... but an apology: when getting it ready to post I did notice there were serious sound quality issues ... sorry about that!
-
God Provides (Torah #8)
God is a patient teacher. He wants us to understand that we can trust Him completely for everything we need. If we will learn these lessons, we will arrive at a place of peace. We will discover that we need fear nothing - be anxious for nothing - be stressed: zero. This episode of the Exodus is...
-
Baptism (Torah #7)
According to the Apostle Paul in his first letter to the Corinth church of Christ, all of Israel was "baptised" when they passed through the Red Sea. They symbolically had Egypt washed off, just as we also symbically wash off our sins when we are buried with Christ in baptism.

The Last Passover (an Easter special) Torah #6
The first Passover was held on Israel's last night in Egypt, when Israel was redeemed from their slave masters. The Last Passover was held on the eve of Jesus' crucifixion. When Jesus died on the cross he bacame the lamb that was sacrificed once and for all. There no longer remained a need for…

Passover - Torah #5
The final plague was when God caused the firstborn of all of Egypt to die, but He spared the Hebrews. This horrible and wonderful night has been remembered for thousands of years with a memorial meal called the "Passover." The first passover was held on the night of the Exodus. The last Passover...

Howdy-Do
Finally, our story begins. I'm writing this intro without having heard this lesson in a long time, so this may be a bit misleading ... but ... It helps if we remember the situation of the people when their first real encounter with Moses happens. Their kind of slavery is different than what is...

Moses
The third and final character in our mini-series is Moses. He's introduced here in an unusual way. Warning: People hated this sermon, particularly the slides that accompanied it. Listen at your own risk. Let's be clear: Moses wasn't Charlton Heston. He did not have blue eyes, and at the time of…

The People
Second part of the Torah series in which we're introduced to the second of three main characters: the people. To understand the truth about Israel and the Torah, one must start by understanding what it must have been like to see the world from their point of view. What would it feel like to be…

Torah #1 - God
This is episode 1 of 22 lessons about the Exodus. I refer to it as the "Torah," because these stories are more than just stories - they are also the context within which the first five books of the bible were written, and those books are called the Torah. Torah is technically the Hebrew word for...

Run through the Pain (Episode 6 of 6)
Serving, giving, teaching ... all forms of ministry can hurt. Sometimes the same people you're trying to help will hurt you - run through it. Ever tried to help an injured animal? It can be dangerous - the animal often doesn't understand you're trying to help. Well-meaning people killed prophets...

Run Scared (Episode 5 of 6)
Forrest ran from bullies, but his bullies were easily recognizable. Jesus warns his followers that wolves will come masquerading as sheep. They will look and seem in every aspect like sheep, so we’ll trust them – but we should be careful. As we seek to be rescuers, we’ll encounter many misleading...
-
Run Focused (Episode 4 of 6)
Jesus said: "The son of man came TO seek & save the lost." That was his purpose statement, his goal: to 'seek' (which is also to pursue, or go-after) and to 'save' (or rescue). We ought to have a similar idea of our lives. People who are respected and remembered for their character are never...
-
Finish the Run (Episode 3 of 6)
Forest had friends to save ... so do we. It'll be hard! Sometimes we'll have to work through pain, trouble, boredom, distractions ... even at great cost to ourselves. Le'ts learn to see these as challenges to be embraced - not a hassles to be avoided. This is how we grow ever stronger. Let's run...
-
Run to Win (Episode 2 of 6)
Forrest Gump ran. In the remaining episodes, we'll look at Forrest's runs and see how they connect to the text of Hebrews 121: "Let's lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entagles us, and let's run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus..." In...

The Road Ahead (Episode 1)
This is the first of a series sermons preached at a teeny church some years back. I post it here to see if it will be effective for a larger audience, even though it was only intended for that small group. Also you may note that I had visuals for the original lessons which won't appear…
