Luke 23:50-24:12 The transition from Christ’s humiliation to his exaltation happens in a manner that helps prove Jesus is indeed raised from the dead – a doctrine that holds great hope for all who trust in him. The actions of Joseph of Arimethea (and Nicodemus) and the women who had followed him from Galilee and who stayed for his crucifixion help prove…
Luke 23:44-49 In three of the miracles that surrounded Christ’s death on the cross, we are reminded about the significance of his death. In the miracle of darkness that covered the whole land, we are reminded that Christ bore the divine judgment of God for us on the cross. His bearing of God’s wrath means there is no more atonement for sins…
Luke 22:39-46 In the Garden of Gethsemane we are reminded that for the Savior, Love Hurts. In a way we cannot understand Jesus, in his humanity, went to a dark and agonizing place as he bore the weight of what was about to happen to him on the cross. We first see the agony and horror he felt from the prospect of…
Luke 19:1-19 In these verses we continue to see how Jesus “came to his own, and his own people did not receive him” (John 1:11), and we discover the destiny that awaits those who reject him. We see this first in verses 1-8 where we see The Authority of the King Challenged. Here Jesus exposes the hardened hearts of the Jewish leaders…
Luke 19:41-49 As Jesus continues his final week in Jerusalem, he continues to reveal what kind of king he is. In his weeping over the city of Jerusalem, we see his compassion for the lost, and in his cleansing of the temple we see his passion for the worship of God (that nothing would hinder all nations from seeking God in prayer).…
Ezekiel 1:4-28 This is the second sermon in our mini-series on Angels and Demons. Here we see Ezekiel’s vision of cherubim, which are very different than we often think of angels. Ezekiel describes them as big, and powerful, and glorious. These four-faced creatures, with giant wheels next to them, filled Ezekiel with wonder. Yet we also see that these cherubim point to…
Ephesians 6:10-20 This is the first sermon in our mini-series on Angels and Demons. Here we examine the reality that we are in spiritual warfare, a great cosmic battle for souls between God and his people and angels and Satan and his forces. Often this battle is not visible, and we sometimes live oblivious to the conflict raging around us. But the…
2 Samuel 5:1-10 (Chapters 1-5) In David’s Coming to Jerusalem and being enthroned as king over all Israel, we get a picture of Christ’s coming to Jerusalem as King. As to David’s coming to Jerusalem as king, he first learned submission to God and was prepared for the throne through the trials of life, he came to the throne through the blood of…
Isaiah 40:1-2 In this passage we are reminded that God does not forget his people, but sees their hard service and their distress. And not only does he see, but he comforts them – and he does so in particular by forgiving our sins and by giving us a double portion of his grace instead of the punishment we deserve.
John 1:10-13 John reminds us that there are only two ways we can respond to the light. We can reject the light or receive the light. This sermon focuses on the reasons and consequences for both responses and calls us to our need to receive Christ.
