http://truelifechurchtn.org Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:55:29 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Located about 45 minutes north of downtown Memphis, True Life Church in Munford/Atoka, Tennessee is a small, contemporary yet conservative Southern Baptist congregation with a heart for serving Christ. After years of bouncing between living rooms and local community centers, True Life now has a permanent home with a bright blue roof right on Highway 51. During this time, God has used this small group of followers to change the lives of countless individuals and has helped rebuild and grow families through the preaching and teaching of the Gospel. Now that same teaching and preaching has found a whole new life here after years of collecting dust in our sanctuary sound booth. It is our hope that the lively, engaging, and often humorous teachings of Pastor Mark Ham blesses and changes your life as much as it has ours no qdean@truelifechurchtn.org qdean@truelifechurchtn.org () 2011 True Life Church http://truelifechurchtn.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/powerpress/tlclogo-300x300.jpg http://truelifechurchtn.org Slavery series – part 7 http://truelifechurchtn.org/?p=290 http://truelifechurchtn.org/?p=290#comments Sun, 10 Apr 2011 14:30:23 +0000 qdean http://truelifechurchtn.org/?p=290 Pastor Mark Ham concludes his series on being a slave of Christ.

God is love and mercy and grace, but what’s this hell business? Hell, fire, and brimstone sounds like a sermon from the dark ages, right? What about love, peace, joy and happily-ever-after? There is a sinister belief creeping into American culture, through the church itself, that a loving God would not send people to hell. The problem with that belief is that it is unbiblical and wrong. If there is no hell, why then would Jesus talk more of hell than of heaven?

In this week’s message, Pastor Mark Ham tackles a difficult subject that many pastors of today avoid, a subject that often sends people away from the church or squirming in their pews. The subject of hell.

The American slave trade as we know it from history was a notoriously evil thing. It seems to be a very foreign concept in contemporary times because we have all but abolished it. Yes, it still exists and probably always will. But by and large, it is no longer a part of every day life for most of the civilized world.

 

But it has not always been this way. The reason slavery is used so often as an analogy or in parables in the Bible is that it was very much understood by everyone because it was so much a part of culture and everyday life. Not so today. As the saying goes, much is lost in the translation. To say that we are to be bond-servants to Christ, slaves, carries a very negative, perhaps even evil connotation because “freedom” is so core to modern culture. This is tragic, and so crippling to the modern Church because this concept is so essential to the full, joyous Christian life.

Before doing so, he asks the man,  "do you wish to get well?" What an odd question to ask a man who hasn't walked in 38 years! To us, the answer would be obvious.

Christ knew, however what kind of healing the man needed. Pastor Mark delivers a powerful message on being made well.   Do You Wish to be Made Well?
