When the Man Comes Around   Hide the women and children, Jesus is coming, and he is not happy! That’s the erroneous idea many people have about the Second Coming. Greg explains that we can and should anticipate Jesus’ return, rather than fearfully dreading his vengeance. Week of May 24  It’s Not Just Your Birthday!   The birthday of the church is not a day that celebrates spiritual inbreeding or promotes navel gazing. The birthday of the universal body of Christ is not just about Christians – it’s about the whole world! Week of May 31  Righteousness by Law – or by Faith?   Didn’t Jesus say that we have to become perfect? Didn’t he say that we will never see his kingdom unless our righteousness surpasses that of the super-religious scribes and Pharisees of his day? So what is all this grace stuff about then? Week of June 7  This Magic Moment   By God’s grace we can live free of guilt and shame -- we can implicitly trust in God, just like a little child. We can come to know God in a magic moment, and live eternally with him in magic moments. Week of June 14  Our Father of Heavenly Lights   On Father’s Day we consider the impact of a father’s love – or the lack thereof. We also give thanks for our Heavenly Father, who loves us unconditionally and sacrificially. Week of June 21 A God for Tough Times   When times get tough, God doesn’t go away -- he is right where he always is -- next to us, close to us, with us. Unfortunately, we struggle with many distorted images of God, which can lead us to keep our distance from him. Week of June 28 The King and His Kingdom   Jesus’ presence and his essence defines the kingdom of heaven -- an entirely different kind of kingdom. Week of July 5 You and Me and Zacchaeus   If Hollywood made a movie about Zacchaeus, Danny deVito might be asked to play the role of this short man who made a ton of money. The plot? Jesus loved Zacchaeus even though no one else seemed to. Week of July 12 RETURN TO PTM WEEKLY UPDATE CONTENTS PAGE Copyright © 2009 Plain Truth Ministries -- Worldwide.
