RUF at Ole Miss

Reading got cut off. We are looking at how God's grace relates to our salvation and our effort in discipleship to Jesus.

This week we look at the parable of the sower. We consider what the seed, the soils, and the yield teach us about our own response to the word of Jesus' kingdom. 

This week we look at the older brother in the parable of The Lost Sons. We discuss how self-righteousness is a uniquely dangerous spiritual condition.

This week we look at the story of the prodigal son, and see how God's grace is for prodigals like us. 

This week we begin our series on the parables by looking at a foundational parable on the nature of how we are declared clean before God. We see how that declaration changes everything. 

This week we look at Moses' intercession on behalf of his people and God's response.

This week we look at the story of Israel and the golden calf. We discuss our habit of running after idols and what repentance unto life really looks like.

This week we look at how we relate to God's law, and how it points us to our need for Jesus.

This week we look at the battle of the Christian life, how God shows up, and how we find that in the story of Exodus 17. 

This week we look at how Israel grumbled with dissatisfaction even though this was right after God freed them from Egyptian slavery. We also see God's surprising response to their grumbling.

This week we look at Israel crossing the Red Sea, and see how salvation is an act of God's free grace and not a work of our own doing. 

This week we look at the story of Passover, and God's gracious provision of a substitute to stand in the place for our judgement. 

This week we looked at the 10 plagues that God sent as a judgment upon Egypt in order to free his people from their slavery.  We dig into Exodus 7:14-24 to see how God's mercy and justice are held in tension with one another.

This week we look at the start of Moses' story. So much about Moses is relatable to us in our humanity, and yet, so much of his ministry is not relatable as he points us to our truer, and better redeemer in Jesus. 

We look at Exodus 1-2 and find a familiar story of what it looks like to be a person in bondage, and yet loved by a God who works to make slaves into children. 

We end our series on Psalm 23 looking at the promise of God chasing us down with his goodness and mercy to bring us home.

This week we walk through the valley of the shadow of death to try to understand why it is good news that God is with us in it.

We start our three week series in Psalm 23 by looking at the providence of God as our Shepherd. 

This week we look at how Jesus is the True Vine, and we are the branches that draw life from him.
