Boldness for the Church

It was really great to preach through Ruth this past month. I come away from it with a renewed sense of God's grace, of his wondrous work of providence in the lives of ordinary people, and a greater appreciation of the thrilling work of redemption wrought by Christ Jesus. Here's a link to the sermon audio: click here. The final sermon should be up soon.

Now I'm excited about moving on to 1 John. Here's a motivating quote from John Stott's little commentary:

A fresh certainty about Christ and about eternal life, based upon the grounds which John gives, can still lead Christian people into that boldness of approach to God and of testimony to men, which is sorely needed as it is sadly missing in the church today.
