Sermons
Jan. 11/12: Ready for the End, Before We Begin
We begin a new 14-week series this week, Ephesians: Reconciled in Christ & Ready for Life. Those in Christ are ready for the end because of his redemption, blood, forgiveness & grace. The language of inheritance, salvation and election amplifies the point. We need not fear the end as we are sealed and our inheritance is guaranteed. Readings from this service: Isaiah 45: 22-25 Ephesians 1: 1-14 Psalm 37: 18-20 Matthew 26: 26-29
Jan. 4/5: From Weeping to Feasts
God promises to ransom and redeem us and thus our mourning turns to joy. Readings from this service: Jeremiah 31: 7-14 Psalm 84: 1-2, 4-5, 10-13 Matthew 2: 1-12
Dec. 28/29: From Prison Jumpsuits to Royal Robes
In a criminal trial the accused at best might be declared not guilty. But in Christ we are declared positively as righteous and Isaiah promises even more: a beautiful, elaborate new royal identity for us. Readings from this service: Isaiah 61: 10–62: 5 Psalm 147: 12-13, 19-20 John 1: 1-18
Dec. 24: The Judge Is Born
The idea of something as vulnerable as a baby being our judge and bringing light to a gloomy world is uniquely Christian. Readings from this service: Isaiah 9: 2-7 Psalm 98: 1-3 Luke 2: 1-20
