RUF at Ole Miss

Summer RUF looks at the life of Elijah, and this dramatic story of his showdown with the prophets of Baal.

This summer we are having a 5-week series on the life of Elijah. Excuse the cries from my son in the background. He did not want to go do bedtime.

Sorry for the extra noises on the recording. iPad wasn't working well. This week we finished our series in Hebrews 11 by looking to Jesus.

This week we look at Rahab, and how she risked her faith by placing it in the word of God, his mercy, and his people.

This week we look at the life of Moses, and look at how God is inviting us to a greater story.

This week we discuss the faith of Joseph as he looks to find security in God’s providence. 

This week we look at how we can learn from Jacob’s wrestling match with God.

This week we look at the impact that shame has on our faith, and look to the One who has taken our shame.

Aidan Creel discusses the faith of Abraham by looking at how this test reveals God’s goodness to him.

This week we jump into how we are to relate to God in view of his judgment. How are judgment and love related? How can judgment help us endure in faith?

This week we look at the fitb of Enoch. Seeing how we might have to slow down to catch up to God.

This week we look at why Abel’s sacrifice was more acceptable than Cain’s. Looking at our need for a better covering and Jesus’ sacrifice of himself. 

We start our series on Hebrews 11 by looking for a definition of faith, and trying to see how Christianity is both a compelling and reasonable thing to trust with your life. 

This is our last week in our series on Acts, and we close by looking at how Paul approached the Christian life empowered by the Spirit.

This week we look at two stories that show us how Christians embodied the way of Jesus in the ancient world, and how the Holy Spirit can be at work in us in the same way.

We gathered with Greek students to talk about how a Christian worldview can change how we relate to our fraternity and sorority houses. 

This week we look at how Paul evangelizes to the Gentiles in a way that is both contextualized to them but also faithful to the Gospel. 

This week we look at Paul’s sermon in Antioch in Pisidia, and look at how the Gospel is an invitation to live into the story God is writing  for the whole world. Some will embrace it as Good News, and others will reject it.

This week we look at the story of Peter’s jailbreak and Herod’s judgment. We try to see how embracing a posture of dependency and faith in the strength of Jesus is where life is found in the Kingdom of God.

This week we look at Cornelius’s conversion, and Peter’s cross-cultural conversion. We see that God is building a kingdom that is able to unite people in Christ that were once divided.

This week we look at the famous story of Saul’s conversion. In this story we find the power of grace, the beauty of the church, and the importance of suffering.

This week we look at the death of Stephen, and try to learn where Christian courage and hope is found.

This week we look at how Satan not only tries to destroy the church from the outside persecution but also from infiltrating the church with hypocrisy. This difficult passages ends with an invitation to rest in the cross of Jesus.

This week we look at this passage where the Gospel of Jesus Christ started to be met with opposition from the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem. We discuss how and why we and others often oppose the Gospel, and look at how we might endure opposition as believers rooted in the hope of the resurrection.  

This week we look at Peter’s sermon at Pentecost. We consider that being a Christian involves both knowing Jesus personally and communing with him corporately in the church.
