second adam

Romans 5:15-21 // Nydiaris Hernández-Santos

Do you ever feel like evil has finally won? That is a pressing question for followers of Jesus who are socially and culturally aware. Listening to the news and reading the newspapers can easily send one into despair. But the gospel has a different answer! The grace of God offers a different outlook. 

Join us as we continue studying Romans and discover how followers of Jesus look at the world through the lens of grace.

Romans 5:15-21 // Ben Beasley

In our passage today we find Paul continuing his excursus on Adam that we had last week. And he assumes that the reader knows the story of Adam. When Paul says Adam is a type, he is setting up a contrast between Adam and Christ. In our passage today we are going to see three contrasts which are: We are separated through rejection, but are welcomed through receiving; Our death comes from the first man, but our life comes from the perfect man; and our sin is great, but God’s grace is always greater. God’s grace through Jesus is a free gift. But it’s only yours if you reach out to it. You’ve got to reach. God’s grace is enough. Will you receive it?

Why did God become Man? Since our dignity and dominion were ruined by a man, by a man they must be restored. I. What does it mean to be human? It means Dignity and Dominion, vv5-8. II. What has our rebellion against God brought? Disorder and Death, v8b. III. So what did Jesus do? He came to restore us. He tasted death for us that he might give us life, v9. 

Lent Week 1
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Jesus, The Second Adam Resets Humanity

As we enter Lent, Tim shares a beautiful picture of Jesus as the Second Adam who resets humanity in the wilderness and gives us a way to authenticity.

In today's gospel story, Jesus, the second Adam, is out among the wild beasts in the wilderness. Just as the first Adam was with the beasts. Like Adam in the Garden again. Where we failed before in the temptation, Jesus then resets the human being within himself while facing the same kind of temptations that Adam faced. Jesus, in connection privately with his heavenly father, shows us the way, and makes a way for all humanity.

This session returns to and focuses on Mark 8:34 to Mark 8:38.  The meanings of the words follow, deny, self and awe are examined.   Some historical context concerning physical crucifixions are presented, followed by a discussion of “taking up the inward cross”.  There is also discussion on the creation of Adam, the garden of Eden and on sin. An important point is made, however, that Friends have not accepted the later dogma of "original sin".  Finally, another discussion ensues regarding Jesus as the Second Adam as well as the Son of God.

We explore the meaning and reasons for the necessary relationship of one-flesh. We look at it from the creation of Adam and Eve, through the fall and then to Jesus. 

The conclusion of our teaching on one-flesh, its meaning, and purpose.

Why do you look for the living among the dead...He is not here, HE HAS RISEN! Join Pastor Bill on this, Resurrection Sunday, as he shares the good news of the fact we do not find for Jesus among the dead, but the living.

The soul is tied to this world. It's made up of our experiences, thoughts, our hurts, victories, our stories. We all have these. But something truly happened when we became new creations in Christ. We became something more than just a soul man. We became a life-giving spirit. Let's learn to elevate our spirit man (the one who identifies with Jesus) above our soul man (who identifies with Adam and this flesh world).
