So Great a Salvation – Spirit

Sermon, , , , ,

A little review of what we have done to prepare us for wrapping up this mini-series marveling at the great salvation that we have by faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit is the One who seals and applies so many facets of this salvation. And He uses the church to help us understand these and more.

So Great a Salvation – Adopted

Sermon, , , ,

A parenthesis in our “So Great a Salvation” mini-series, we look at adoption into the family of God.  In Matthew 17, Jesus made an interesting comment to Peter that prompted a squirrel chase that ended in Romans 8. Being sons and daughters of God and joint-heirs with Christ is kinda a big deal. But all of creation yearning for our complete adoption, the redemption of our body should give perspective that this salvation is bigger than we thought.

God Has Spoken

Sermon, ,

God has spoken and we have His words. In various ways and in various times, He has revealed Himself through human writers. But in these last days, God has spoken most clearly through His Son – Jesus Christ. Jesus the Son of God surpasses all other revelations because He is superior to all other humans God has or could have used.

New Heaven on New Earth

Sermon, , ,

This world gives us glimpses of something our heart yearns to experience but never can find satisfaction. I’ve heard that our heart has those yearnings because our heart is made for something that this world cannot satisfy – a new heaven and new earth. We simply are not home yet. But one day, those of us in Christ will make it home

Praise the Lamb

Sermon, , ,

Revelation seems mysterious and just plain weird at times.  Yet as we saw last week, sometimes John is only using a title or phrase to connect his imagery to a rich trove of Hebrew prophecy.  The Lamb who prevailed to earn the right to judge the earth is culminating that dirty job with justice to those who have rebelled against God, cheated Him of His deserved gratitude and love, and murdered those who worship God.  And heaven rejoices that the work in almost done and the victory celebration can soon begin.

New Covenant King

Sermon, ,

One of the important promises from God is elaborated by the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet as the “Son of David” is shown to be so much more than a better king for Israel. He is a world-changing ruler who brings violence and oppression to an end. And other prophets picked up that theme when describing Jesus and His unfinished business.

Lord’s Supper of Passover

Jesus used the Passover before His impending death to teach the significance His sacrificial death would have for those who trust in Him for eternal salvation. Thus, this simple symbolic meal becomes rich in meaning for Christians until He comes again.
