Ruf At Tcu (reformed University Fellowship)

James 1:26-2:7 | Rev. Ryan Moore shares with us about what lies at the heart of True Religion. 

Rev. 14:6-13 | John "presses into" his readers by encouraging them, no matter what they are facing – threats from without or boredom from within – to persevere. He does this by warning of Judgment and promising Blessing. 

Rev. 12 | Every Christian is engaged in a war they can't avoid...and, yet, one they can't lose. 

Rev 6 & 8:1-5 | The slain Lamb on the Throne begins to open the scroll. The seven seals which He breaks set into action God's redemptive plan for His people. These texts show us that God is utterly sovereign in His rule. And, even through suffering and (apparent) chaos, God is governing all thing for the good of His beloved people and the judgment of His enemies.

Rev. 5 | At the center of the Throne, we are show a Lion who is a slain Lamb. John is showing us that Jesus and His work stands at the center of reality itself. This gives our lives profound meaning (as well as all of history), but it also shows us the way that following him will be like. 

Rev. 4:1-11 | John's next vision takes us to the heart of Reality itself. At the center, we find an occupied Throne. The Throne reminds us that God is in control of all things and this is meant to bring all of creation to its knees in worship. 

Rev. 2:1-7 | Jesus addresses, through John, a church that has much going for it! Right teaching, moral living, and confronting false teachers. In all of this, however, they had lost something critical: Their love for Jesus. Listen in as we learn how Christ confronts this situation and the good news offered, not only to the church at Ephesus, but for us as well. 

Rev. 1: 9-20 | John gives his readers, and us, a picture of Christ as He presently is. Seeing Him, how would this change the way we live our lives in the present?

Rev. 1:1-8 | The book of Revelation is meant to show us Jesus. It does so by giving us images to engage our imaginations so that we might see Him.

1Cor 6:12-7:5 | In an over-sexualize culture, how does the Bible speak on the topic of Sex? Listen in to how we learn to "Follow Jesus with our bodies."**If you would like to learn more about the ministry of RUF at TCU, including ways to support it, please click here.**

Eph 5:21-33 | The Christian vision/picture of marriage is one that points to a greater reality — Christ's love for the Church. Learn, here, where we get the power for marriage and how it shapes us as well. **If you would like to learn more about the ministry of RUF at TCU, including ways to support it, please click here.**

In the wake of tragedy/death on campus last week, we take a break from our relationship series to look at how God meets us in our sorrow and sadness. 

Mark 12:28-32 | The Great Command to love God and Neighbor apply to all areas of life. Here, we explore their application to the topic of Dating. 

1Cor. 7:1, 6-9, 25-28, 32-35 | Paul highlight singleness as a fully human expression of being human. Our singleness is not a less-than-ideal way of being human in God's world. Rather, being a gift, we are to continue to love God and love others even if we are not married. 

Proverbs 18:24, 27:6, 9, 17; John 15:12-16 | Good friendships are necessary to live well and wisely in this world. In order to make, keep, and be good friends, we'll need to see how we have a Friend "who sticks closer than a brother."

Matt. 18:21-35 | Here in this parable, Jesus teaches us that those who follow Him must have their lives characterized by forgiveness. Not only TO us, but THROUGH us. This, in turn, gives us profound resources to bring healing to our relationships.

1 Jn 4:7-12 | The healing/mending of all our relationships begins with God first reconciling us to Himself through Jesus, an act that John calls a demonstration of Love.

Genesis 1:26-28, 31; 2:18-25; John 17:3 | From the beginning, the we were made for relationships. We bear the image of a communal God who has made us and therefore we too were made for relationships!

Mark 2:1-12 | Here we see how Jesus makes us whole, in community with others, for the good of the world around us.

Prov 14:25; 15:1, 18; 16:32; 19:11, 19; 22:24; 25:21-22; 29:9, 22 | Is there a more disintegrating (to our relationship, ourselves, and the way we see the world) emotion than anger? While created as emotional persons, the Proverbs tells us that we'll never become wise unless we learn to understand and get a handle on our anger.
