Tab Church Podcast

Join in and listen as Dainel continues our sermon series in Revelation. In this sermon, he talks about how we should notice others, just like how Christ notices us, and how we should live out the gospel and let people see Christ in us. Do people see Christ in you?

We all need times when we press pause and reevaluate our life–literally, we need to re-value the things we prize: the way we invest our time and energy in pursuit of our deepest dreams. As we enter the summer season at Tab, the last book of the Bible, Revelation, will help us reevaluate our lives in light of the ultimate realities of heaven and eternity. In this 10-week sermon series, we will connect the lessons from Revelation to our 10 core values as a church as we ask the Holy Spirit to help us revalue the things in our lives for His glory.

Solomon was right. Life under the sun without Christ is futile. But life isn't limited to life under the sun. Jesus won the victory of God through the cross, and His kingdom will one day reclaim every square inch of this futile world, even as it ushers in a new heaven and earth.

If you have a quarter friend, call them this week and tell them thank you for being your friend. Set up a time to do something. Husbands, give your wives a blessing to foster friendships. Step up this week to give your wife margin to spend time with a friend. She needs that time to be encouraged by another woman. Let's be especially mindful of mothers whose husbands are deployed or single parents. They have no margin, so let's be a church that helps to give them margin. Where's your quarter? Friendship matters. It's normal that friendship doesn't come naturally because it's an investment. There is a cost, but there is a very good reward for the effort!

God can do a lot through a low-key leader. These 3 young men were tossed into the fire because they stood on their convictions in humility and courage. Through the influence of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, it was King Nebi who ended up changing his tune that day. God used the influence of three powerless young men to shape the heart of the world's most powerful leader at the time. Look at God go!

These Old Testament texts can be difficult for us to wrestle with. Perhaps it is uncomfortable to think about God as a judge. There are aspects of God's character that are hard to explain. God is love, and He is just. Both the love of God and the justice of God were fully displayed on the cross. God can't ignore the penalty of sin. It would be unloving and unjust. He also knows His holy standard is impossible for us to achieve. So, He did the unfathomable and died in our place. He fully upheld His love and justice by sending His Son as an atonement for sin. These Old Testament texts are important for us to remember because they remind us of the costliness of sin and they magnify God's grace. God's grace is being extended to us today.

Deborah stands out as an exemplary leader in a low-key kind of way. She does so by developing a life of godly wisdom, decisively rendering judgments. She wasn't afraid of conflict. She spoke accurately and clearly what the Lord had commanded. When she was asked to lead by example, she did so. This is a remarkable woman of faith who enacted the judgments of God with humility and courage. She is truly a leader, low-key.

Listen in as Pastor Will takes us through the book of Matthew and talks about how we should punt our pride and dethrone our ego, punt our prejudice and seek our savior, and pick praise and return our resources.
