H2O becomes C2H6O!?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

“Water you turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind. There’s no-one like You. None like You.” So starts Chris Tomlin’s worship song ‘Our God‘.

As we move into the last half of the school year, the summer term, at Redefine we are going to be looking at the 7 miraculous signs of Jesus’ ministry in the gospel of John.

Water-into-WineLast night we looked at Jesus turning water into wine, hence the title of this blog post; H2O being the chemical formula for water and C2H6O being one of the chemical formulas for wine.

The key part of the excerpt from John’s gospel that was studied last night, I believe, is “What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.” John 2:11.

This miraculous act of turning water into wine was the first ‘sign’ that Jesus performed.

Why?

To reveal His glory.

The word that John uses in his gospel for ‘sign’ is σημεῖον – sémeion. It means a sign, miracle or indication, given especially to confirm, corroborate or authenticate something. In this case the sign and indeed all of the signs are to reveal to His disciples, and to all who would believe, who Jesus truly is.

Signs point the way to something.

The signs in John point to Jesus, and to Him being the promised Messiah; the Saviour we have all been searching and waiting for. As John says at the end of his gospel; “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30.

But how does turning the water into wine reveal His glory and point to Jesus as the Messiah?

The pots that were filled with water in John’s recounting of the miracle were intended for ceremonial purification. They were used to make people clean, travel on the roads in 1st Century Israel was often a dirty and dusty process and at the end of their travels people would need to get clean.

It is this water that is used for cleansing that Jesus turned into wine. Wine that the master of ceremonies (a bit like the best-man in today’s weddings) declared to be the best wine. Wine that was drunk at a wedding celebration that filled people with joy.

I love this image of Jesus being part of a celebration. Jesus having fun and getting involved in a wonderful part of life; a wedding.

When reading through this passage it became clear that Jesus in His first sign, was pointing towards the cross.

Upon the cross, Jesus’ blood would bring cleansing to all of mankind’s uncleanness. All of mankind’s sin would be dealt with on the cross by Jesus’ sacrifice. Those that receive forgiveness by believing in Jesus and His atoning work on the cross for them find great joy and celebration in this.

Just like the celebrants at the wedding feast.

Jesus was also pointing towards the great wedding feast that is being prepared for believers, a feast where He will have saved the best till last.

This was Him revealing His glory.

In what other way do you see Jesus reveal His glory through this passage?

 

It’s called ‘Good News’ for a reason.

Coronation_portrait_of_Queen_Victoria_-_Hayter_1838On the 20th June 1837 Queen Victoria ascended the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until her death on the 22nd January 1901.

This period of times was known as the ‘Victorian Era’.  It was a time of great change, socially, economically, technologically, and spiritually.

During this period of history there were major events that impacted the world; such as the Irish Famine, the abolition of slavery in the UK, the Crimean War, the publication of Charles Darwin’s ‘On the Origins of the Species’, Sir Alexander Graham Bell patented the first telephone.

These are just a very small selection of the events that shook, awed, and transformed the world.

However, during this time of history, whose impact we still feel today, many men and women rose up to make a stand for God and His Kingdom.

Men and women who saw all that was happening around them, and answered God’s call to share the ‘Gospel’; the good news of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus.

One such man was William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. William Booth, saw the desperate need of those around him to meet with Jesus. He was not satisfied to stay safe and preach to the converted in churches and chapels, but took Jesus’ life changing message to the highways and byways of Britain. Initially he worked in and around the east end of London, but by the beginning of the 20th century, the Salvation Army was becoming international in its scope and impact.

Booth was often criticised and lampooned for the work he was doing, but that never deterred him from sharing Jesus with those around him, whether in word or deed.

NeilOBoyleIn a recent interview with Premier Youthwork magazine, the director of YFC in the UK, Neil O’Boyle has written a great article about the decline of ‘evangelism’ in youthwork in the last 25 years, and gives a great rallying call for its necessity in today’s world. Please read the article here. Neil, like William Booth, sees the need for people to hear about and connect with Jesus. For in a world of upheaval and change, Jesus is the only true constant: Unwavering, unfailing and faithful. Jesus is the solid rock that we all need to be grounded upon. “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him. Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I shall never be shaken.” Psalm 62:1-2

I love that the motto or tag-line of Llandudno Youth for Christ is ‘taking the Good News relevantly to every young person in Llandudno.’ Amongst so much doom & gloom that permeates the media and life in general, young people, indeed everyone, needs to hear some good news. And God’s transforming, forgiving, and redeeming love, as demonstrated in and through His Son Jesus Christ is not just ‘good news’, I believe it is the best news ever.

So let’s as the Apostle Peter encourages us to do: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” 1 Peter 3:15-16

Express yourself!

Praise God in his holy house of worship,
    praise him under the open skies;
Praise him for his acts of power,
    praise him for his magnificent greatness;
Praise with a blast on the trumpet,
    praise by strumming soft strings;
Praise him with castanets and dance,
    praise him with banjo and flute;
Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,
    praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
    Hallelujah! Psalm 150.

I love this psalm.  It is so effusive and expressive. It is so full of grandeur, majesty and joy.

I love how it expresses so many different ways to show our worship of God.  There are trumpets and fiddles, flutes and drums, cymbals and mandolins.  Indeed it ends with the psalmist calling everything that God has breathed life into, to praise their great Creator.

Thinking about the psalmist’s call to worship, I began to ask myself ‘what are the ways in which we can show our worship of God?’ ‘How does everything that has breath praise God?’

The one way that comes most obviously to mind is through music and song. I love how right in the middle of our Bibles we have a songbook full or lyrics that express so many different emotions. A songbook written by psalmist that wanted to express their thoughts and feelings and put down for all to see their relationship with their Maker.

I, myself, love to worship God through song, or playing an instrument, whether it be guitar, piano or mandolin.

I know of people who love to express praise to and for God through movement and dance. King David was famous for dancing before the Ark of the Covenant as he brought it to Jerusalem. In Psalm 149, dance is mentioned as a means by which we praise God. Its great to see organisations such as ‘Movement in Worship‘ bringing dance back into the church, and seeing so many people worship God with their whole being.

Another creative means of worshipping God can be through art. God did make man in his own image, and just look around you and you can see the wonderful masterpieces that God paints upon the canvas of life everyday, and so it is no surprise that we love to paint, draw, sketch, sculpt and design in ways that bring praise to God.

Sometimes it is directly through a piece of work intended as an act of worship, or we can bring praise to God through our creativity by reflecting His nature that He has placed in us.

The same can be said of activities such as gardening and caring for animals.  By doing these things we can bring praise to God in our care for His creation. Again we are reflecting His image, for He ‘has compassion on all He has made.’

Even our workplaces can be avenues of praise and worship to our Creator. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24.

When we realise that our work can be done to the glory of God, it is a great thing, and shows just how many ways in which we can say a big ‘Thank You!’ to our Abba Father.

Finally, I think the best way we can praise and worship God, is by being loving. By loving God, by loving our neighbour. Loving the unlovely, loving the stranger, the outcast, the widow, the oppressors. Forgiving and loving those who hate and persecute us. Reaching out to others with the gospel. Reaching out to others and being a helping hand. Being kind. Giving hugs. Being gracious. Being slow to get angry. Being less grumpy.

God is love.

So as we love, we most clearly demonstrate His very nature, and bring Him great praise and worship.

How are you going to praise God today?

Let it GROW!

On May 25th in 1977 ‘Star Wars’ was shown for the first time.  This film which was the creation of a film school graduate and Californian stationary shop owner’s son; George Lucas. The film became, at the time, the highest grossing film; and the film franchise itself became a pop-culture phenomenon that has grown into a creative empire that changed film-making as a whole.

To date 7 films have been made with a total production cost of $438.2 million dollars and a worldwide box office gross takings of $6,394,819,524. Films, TV series, books, comics, magazines, video games, toys, clothing etc. have been made about and around this universe of heroes and villains that came out of the imagination of one aspiring film-maker.

It is amazing how much it has grown from that small beginning.

Also, on the 25th May 1595 Filippo Romolo Neri died. An Italian priest known as the Apostle of Rome, founded the organisation known as the ‘Congregation of the Oratory’.

From a young age he discovered a passion to spend time alone with God in prayer and during one of these times he had a powerful encounter with God that inspired him to work at the hospital of the incurables and speak to others about God; everyone from beggars to bankers. This life spent serving God in prayer and by helping others impacted so many lives in Rome and indeed Italy that the above organisation was started. Quite radical in its time, there are now 70 ‘Oratories‘ around the world based upon the precepts he established.

It’s amazing how much the little that He gave to God has grown.

Jesus spoke about this: “God’s kingdom is like a pine nut that a farmer plants. It is quite small as seeds go, but in the course of years it g
rows into a huge pine tree, and eagles build nests in it“. Matt 13:31-32.

When we give God our little, He can make it grown into something extraordinary that will bless, comfort, protect & shelter others.

A great visual example God has put in nature are Sequoia Trees. They are the largest tree on the planet, but they grow from very small seeds.

The feeding of the 5,000 is another example of how when we give our little to God he grows it into something incredible and life changing.

At LLYFC we feel the same way about all of support we receive. We trust that the little that everyone gives in time, people, resources, money, prayer etc. is received by God and becomes something far greater and more impactful than we could ever imagine.

We also feel the same way about every young person that comes to the events and meetings we hold. We pray that as they discover God and enter into a relationship with Him, their lives are grown, transformed and changed into something truly incredible and remarkable.

God can do that in your life, He can take the little seed you give Him and grow it into a mighty tree like the Sequoia. (Col2:7)

What are you holding in your hand that God can grow.

Perhaps it’s time to give it to Him and let it grow!

Because you’re worth it!

The tagline to the L’Oreal beauty products range is ‘because you’re worth it.’

With this motto they are saying to the viewers that they can afford to buy their products because they (the viewer) are worth it.  They deserve to pamper and look after themselves.

It’s all part of a culture we now have of building up people’s self worth, which on a certain level is good, but it got me thinking.

What is the measure by which we estimate our value.  Where do we get our sense of worth?

Is it from our peers? Parents? Teachers? Celebrities?

Who has the say to how much we are worth and the value that is placed upon our lives?

I think that until and unless we get our value from the right source we are going to struggle with issues of self-worth and we are going to be constantly trying to win the approval of those around us.  Our lives will be influenced and impacted by this.

“Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.“Psalm 146:3 & 4

I recommend that we look to God to get our sense of worth.
How much value does He place on our life? What does He see as our worth?

“God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.” 1 Corinthians 7:23.

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

There is also a story Jesus tells about a man who finds some treasure in a field and sells everything he has to be able to buy the field with the treasure in it. He values it so much that he gives up everything for it. Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is like this.

God definitely thinks you are worth it.

He has paid a high price for you, you are worth so much to Him.

Knowing that He, the Creator of everything loves you and values you will transform and revolutionise everything.

Knowing that not only is your life precious to Him, but indeed ALL life transforms everything.

The person who has just insulted you is of worth to God, just as the taxi driver who almost crashed into you with his reckless driving. People you don’t like and people you don’t understand, they all have value in God’s eyes and we cannot devalue them without devaluing ourselves.

Equally we cannot elevate the value of others above others and discriminate, a
s the apostle Paul says “All of you who have been baptized to show you belong to Christ have become like Christ. God does not see you as a Jew or as a Greek. He does not see you as a servant or as a person free to work. He does not see you as a man or as a woman. You are all one in Christ.” Galatians 3:27-28.

Let’s live lives shaped and impacted by what God thinks about us and not what others say.

Because He thinks you’re worth it.

‘Sola’ Powered!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Now by the title, despite the picture above, I don’t really mean ‘solar powered’ like the pictured superhero; but rather ‘sola powered’, referring to the five solas of the Protestant Reformation.

‘What are the five solas?’ – I hear you say.

The 5 solas, or solae of the Protestant Reformation are a foundational set of Biblical principles held by theologians and churchmen to be central to the doctrine of salvation as taught by the Western Protestant church. “Sola” is Latin meaning “alone” or “only” and the corresponding 5 ‘solas’ are:

  • Sola Fide, by faith alone.
  • Sola Scriptura, by Scripture alone.
  • Solus Christus, through Christ alone.
  • Sola Gratia, by grace alone.
  • Soli Deo Gloria, glory to God alone.

Although they were often used by Reformers in the 16th century in their writings and speech, such as when Philip Melanchthon wrote in 1554 “sola gratia justificamus et sola fide justificamur“(“only by grace do we justify and only by faith are we justified”), they were never formally compiled or grouped together until the 20th century. A great example of this compiling of the ‘solas’ is in The Cambridge Declaration of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals (1996).

Recently at ‘Redefine’, our Sunday evening youth Bible Study, we had a look at the 5 ‘Solas’ as part of an evening themed around the idea of survival and what do we need as essential for survival; a question often posed and answered in demonstration by people such as Bear Grylls.

It was a fun night, and we really wanted to see the young people grapple with what the essentials of the Christian faith are, hence a look at the ‘solas’.

They are a great way of summing up essentials in the Christian faith.

Faith alone (Sola Fide): Justification: being put right with God is received by faith alone, without any need for good works. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura): The Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behaviour must be measured. The Bible can and is to be interpreted through itself, with one area of Scripture being useful for interpreting others. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Christ alone (Solus Christus): Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man, and there is salvation through no other. His sinless life and substitutionary atonement alone are sufficient for our justification and reconciliation to the Father. (Hebrew 10:12-14)

Grace alone (Sola Gratia): Salvation comes to us by divine grace alone, not as the results of anything we have earned or merit.  It is given by “unmerited favour”. This means that salvation is an unearned gift from God for Jesus’ sake.

Glory to God alone (Soli Deo Gloria):  All glory is to be due to God alone, since salvation is God’s gift and work. Our lives as a response of God’s great gift of making us right with himself through the death of His Son Jesus, is to live lives that bring glory to Him (1 Cor 10:31).

That is the 5 solas very briefly summed up, I must say.

The reason I tilted this post ‘sola powered’ and put the picture of ‘Superman’ at the top was because it was catchy, but also to get us thinking of the parallels the metaphor presents.

‘Superman’ gets his great strength and abilities from how his Kryptonian physiology metabolises solar energy – he is quite literally ‘solar powered’.  As Christians, we get our strength, encouragement, gifts, in fact, all we need for life and godliness from or because of Jesus (Phil 4:13, 2 Thess 2:16, Eph 4:7, 2 Pet 1:3). Jesus is God’s great gift to all mankind. Jesus is our source. He is our sole provider; to quote the Parachute Band’s song ‘Amazing‘. We are ‘sola powered’, referring to the 5 ‘solas’ as explained briefly above. Our strength and provision comes from God, and God alone.

We are not like Superman empowered by the sun, but are rather empowered by the Son.

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.” Heb 1:3.

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Cor 3:18.

“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” Col 1:15-20

Let us thank God for sending His Son Jesus.

Let us thank God for giving us His precious Word.

Let us trust in and rely on Christ’s strength in and through our lives.

Let us live lives that bring glory to God alone, responding in faith to His great grace towards and for us.

Word Alive!

I was looking up an on this day webpage and it stated that on this day (May 6th) in 1536 King Henry VIII ordered that English language Bibles be placed in every church.

Wow!

That was such a revolutionary move at the time.

A radical move, and a departure from what the church at that time was allowing.

And despite the fact that the Great Bible of King Henry VIII wasn’t printed until 1539, it was still a dangerous and revolutionary idea to hold.

King Henry VIII was inspired by the work of William Tyndale who had been working on a translation of the New Testament into English from the original Greek and Aramaic texts. This was such a dangerous thing for the established church of the time that they had Tyndal tried and executed on charges of heresy.

The threat that the established church felt from Tyndale’s Bible can best be summed up by his own avowed reason for creating his translation in the first place. Tyndale wanted to “[cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more scripture] than the clergy of the day.” It was an issue of power.  The church would no-longer be the sole interpreters of scripture, and would no-longer be the sole mediators between the people and God.

Tyndale’s last words as he was dying are quoted in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs as being “Lord! Open the King of England’s eyes.”

His prayer was swiftly answered.

Though the printing of this Bible was not totally due to a spiritual awakening by King Henry VIII methinks.

King Henry VIII had requested that the Pope permit him to divorce his wife and marry his mistress. The Pope obviously refused and King Henry responded by marrying his mistress anyway, and thumbing his nose at the Pope by renouncing Roman Catholicism, taking England out from under Rome’s religious control, and declaring himself as the reigning head of State to also be the new head of the Church in England.

This new branch of the Christian Church, became known as the Anglican Church or the Church of England. King Henry acting as its head funded the printing and distribution of the Bible in English.  Doing this was not only due to him wanting to make the Word of God accessible to everyone, but was also a way of defying the Pope in Rome.

Whatever his true intentions, God used the King’s actions for the good of all people in the British Isles.

“The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the Lord; He guides it wherever he pleases.” Proverbs 21:1

I loved reading about this, as it reminds me that God is sovereign and is actively at work in history to bring people to himself.  Healing, restoring, delivering, comforting and saving people.

He is a good God who loves to speak to us and reveal more about Himself to us.

The Bible is our great go-to to find out more about this amazing God.

As two slightly cheesy acronyms for the ‘Bible’ go, it is the ‘Brilliant.Instruction.Book.for.Life.Everlasting’ or ‘Brilliant.Instructions.Before.Leaving.Earth.’

I love that we can read the Bible so readily, and easily today.

I love that we have so many resources at our fingertips, and that the Bible, that so many people, like William Tyndale, died to bring to us in a language we can understand, is there for us to get stuck into.

So let’s get stuck into God’s word and see what He has to say.

Extravaganza Bonanza!

/2 Comments/in , /by

This Saturday in Llandudno we are celebrating our annual Victorian extravaganza. It’s a great fun filled event that lots of people attend regularly. People dress in Victorian attire and there are vintage vehicles and a funfair.

Thinking about the extravaganza spurred me to ponder about the lives and impact of Victorian Christians on the world around them and how they can encourage us to be the salt and light in our generation.

One such Christian that stood out was Charles Haddon Suprgeon, known as the “Prince of Preachers.” He was a Baptist pastor who had a great influence not only in his time, but his words and work are still being used by God today to touch hearts and lives with the Gospel.

In his lifetime he published 49 volumes of commentaries, anecdotes and devotionals; the largest set of books by a single author in the history of Christianity. Which includes his published sermons that fill a staggering 63 volumes.

He is estimated to have preached to about 10 million people, that is a great impact upon so many lives. He was a pastor in London for almost 40 years, and was one of the most well-known pastors of his day. Even today he continues to be an important and influential voice across denominations in the Church.

“If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing; go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy; your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms; and your need is the motive for heavenly goodness. Go as you are, and let your miseries plead for you.”

“Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God’s grace.”

The above are two great quotes by Spurgeon that clearly demonstrate his earnest heart to share God great good news of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus.

He was a great preacher that was always aware of keeping Jesus central and also of building a legacy of faith for the future. He saw the need to pass on the baton to the next generation and create a generation of history makers that would impact their world with the transforming love of Jesus.

“You may speak but a word to a child, and in that child there may be slumbering a noble heart which shall stir the Christian Church in years to come.”

“Train up a child in the way he should go – but be sure you go that way yourself.”

I love the two quotes above. At Llandudno Youth for Christ this really resonates with everything that we do. We want to see God transform lives with His love and leave a legacy for future generations.

Would you consider partnering with us in prayer, provision and people to see a generation of young people passionate about their Saviour rise up and change our nation?

We pray you will.

What does it Sound Like…?

/2 Comments/in /by

There’s a silly Meme on the internet (which ones aren’t) which says that ‘Talking to God is prayer, but if you hear Him talk back you’re crazy’.

As Christians, we believe in a personal, relational God that is interested in us and our lives and wants to communicate with us, and yet a times it can feel and sound a little arrogant when we say things like ‘I heard God say…’ or ‘God told me…’

But the Bible is full of stories of people talking with God.  People having very real and honest conversations with God.

Take for example the prophet Jonah, yes the one who got swallowed by a big fish after trying to run away from God.  We know how that didn’t exactly work out as he had hoped or expected.  He didn’t want to answer God’s request for him to go to the city of Nineveh and tell the people that God was angry with how they had been treating each other.  Eventually Jonah relented and asked God for a second chance (being stuck in the stomach of a big fish will do that for you). The fish spat him out on the beach near Nineveh and Jonah did what God had originally asked of him.  The people from the King down heard his message of judgment and repented, praying to God for mercy.  God heard them and did not bring the destruction for their past evil behaviour upon them. This put Jonah in a sulk and here is where he has a rather frank exchange with God. Check it out at the end of the book of Jonah.

I love the openness and honesty between God and Jonah. God takes Jonah’s tantrum in His stride and loving corrects and teaches Jonah about mercy, love and compassion.

If you read the Psalms you can hear David’s raw honesty about how he is feeling.  He doesn’t put on any religious airs and graces when he talks to God. “My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.” Psalm 38: 5 & 6.  That’s quite a graphic picture of David feeling pretty wretched.  God called David a man after His own heart.  I get the impression God liked David.

I could go on, and on about people who talked to God and heard back from Him.

We see it as the norm, in both the Old and the New Testament.  Not something super-spiritual or weird or unusual.

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” God promises the prophet Jeremiah.

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrew 11:6. This verse is following a list of example of people who lived courageous, daring and what might have looked like to outsiders ‘crazy’ lives because of their faith in God.

God is so very interested in us and invested in us that He wants to speak to us.

Let’s take the time to listen.
