Right Start Radio With Pastor Jim Custer

You can remain a caterpillar... if you want to! The metamorphosis that we talked about yesterday - the transformation from an earthbound creature to a spiritual one - is what God has been after all along. But many of us don't know that we can be a butterfly. We may feel a yearning to fly, but we're stuck in our old, wormy ways. Or so we think. Here's Jim with the conclusion of his sermon, Living Among the Extreme Makeovers. We're in Romans, chapter 7.

Are you a Christian - or do you just "identify" as one? In our strange, "Twilight Zone" world where people believe they are something they clearly are not, we want to be the real deal. A pollster surveying the religious landscape will have to take my word for it: If I say I'm a Christian, then that's how my responses will be recorded and labeled. But what is the reality?

People demand autonomy in the "privacy of their own bedroom." God says, "What privacy?" Nothing is hidden from the One who created us, and who designed us as sexual beings. Since that is true we'll find that His rules are firm, His plan is best, and it just won't do to pretend that we are mere animals. Or gods. In 1 Thessalonians 4 Paul isn't addressing the pagan culture of Greece - he's writing to Christians.

"The heart wants what it wants," said Woody Allen. At least the famous director had enough shame to pretend that it was his heart, and not another body part, that was leading him. The question before Christians today is, Will we join our society in obeying our instincts, like animals; or will we stand apart? Will we obey a higher calling? Will we model for the world the proper use of God's gift of sexuality? Here's Jim to open the sermon, Living Among the Peculiar.

How can we think about the "fulness" of a limitless God? The desire of the Spirit - and the Son and the Father, too - is to fill. To fill us, to fill the church, to fill creation. And this theme of filling keeps coming up in Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Today we'll look at all 8 of the references that are exactly on point, and we think you'll see something new and surprising. It's not a work God is saving for later; this is happening now.
