Of One Mind
The death of Jesus on the cross was not merely a pardon for sins but a necessary act of justice that delivers humanity from the domain of darkness, highlighting the profound significance of the incarnation and the cross in God's plan for salvation. (Philippians 2.8)
Why Death on a Cross?
The death of Jesus on the cross was not merely a pardon for sins but a necessary act of justice that delivers humanity from the domain of darkness, highlighting the profound significance of the incarnation and the cross in God's plan for salvation. (Philippians 2.8)
Fully God and Fully Human
Philippians 2:7-8 - The beauty and mystery of the Incarnation is that Jesus was, and is, both fully God and fully man, and this life changing truth impacts our daily lives, including our understanding of how to live like Jesus, prayer, and hope in resurrection.
Before the Manger
The true meaning of Christmas lies not in celebrating the birth of a mere spiritual leader, but in recognizing the profound mystery of the Incarnation, where Jesus, who is fully God, humbled Himself and entered creation to redeem humanity. (Philippians 2.5-6)
Worthy Citizens
As citizens of heaven living in this world, we are called to stand firm in one Holy Spirit and strive together side by side for the gospel with the mind of Christ, demonstrating unity and purpose amidst our diversity.
A Martyr’s Prayer for Non-Martyrs
The apostle Paul's prayer and testimony challenges us to be less afraid of dying and more afraid of not living for Christ is gain in life and death (Philippians 1.19-26)
Through Your Prayers
Our neglect of striving prayer not only limits God's divine activity in this present world but also silently participates in the rebellion against His sovereign rule over creation.
The Apostle Paul vs. the NRTADV
The big idea of this sermon is that our circumstances, even in suffering, can serve to advance the gospel and inspire boldness in others, challenging us to embrace this truth rather than seeking only comfort and deliverance.
My Thanksgiving and Prayer
We give thanks for the love, spiritual wisdom, righteousness in Christ, and hope in the gospel in our church even as we pray for these to abound more and more.
God Finishes What He Starts
One of the great promises in Scripture is that He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, we reflect on the nature of human experience, where we often start things but fail to finish due to limited resources or changing desires, contrasting this with God's unwavering faithfulness and sovereignty.
What Jesus Prays For Us
In His High Priestly Prayer, Jesus intercedes for us, emphasizing the importance of praying in alignment with His will, as He desires for us to receive His words, remain united, and experience His joy and love.
Hated but Helped
While followers of Jesus will face hatred and persecution from the world because they are no longer of it, they can find hope in the promise of the Holy Spirit, who empowers them to bear witness to Christ even in the darkest places.
Unseen Visibility
This sermon delves into the profound significance of the Feast of Booths, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, and its connection to Jesus’ declaration in John 7.
Living Water for the Thirsty Soul
Jesus offers living water to quench the deepest thirst of our souls, inviting us into a life of worship and fellowship with God.
Under New Management
Jesus confronted Nicodemus, a good and religious man, with this life changing truth: unless one is born again, born from above, born of the Spirit, he cannot see or enter the kingdom of God. This spiritual truth and hope continues to challenge and invite us today. Eternal life is given to all who believe in the name of Jesus, but what does it mean to believe? What does it mean to be born again?
Why is Jesus Called “The Word”?
John’s choice to call Jesus the "Word" is profound. It captures the essence of Jesus' identity and mission, reflecting the eternal triune God’s creative, revealing, and delivering nature. This understanding challenges us to see Jesus not only as the Word in the past and future but also in our present lives. Jesus continues to reveal, create, and deliver today, making Him relevant in our daily walk of faith.
What is Truth?
What is truth? This question has been echoing throughout humanity for the last 2500 years. Jesus claims to not only know the truth and to be witness to the truth but to be the truth. What does it mean to call Jesus “the Truth” and why is it so important for us today?
Abiding and Fruit Bearing
In the last of the “I AM” statements of Jesus recorded in the gospel of John, Jesus declares Himself to be the “true vine.” Those who abide in Him will bear fruit, glorify the Father, and prove to be disciples of Jesus. The fruit that Jesus describes is obedience to His commands, loving others the way Christ loves us, knowing the will of the Father, the joy of Christ, and a dynamic prayer life. But who are the branches that do not bear fruit that are thrown away?
Why Should Our Hearts Not Be Troubled?
John 14 is usually thought of as a “funeral text,” a word of hope for those grieving the loss of a loved one. But Jesus is really speaking to a group of “troubled souls.” Jesus went to prepare a place for us, both to the cross and to the right hand of the Father. How do the words of Jesus encourage us today who are living through troubling times and have troubled souls?
