Work of Servant

Sermon, ,

Have you wondered what of your work will lasts? Maybe all of us have. And often we should re-evaluate if our priorities are of eternal significance. But even seemingly insignificant work can be significant if it is done as to the Lord (Colossians 3:23). And if the Messiah was tempted to doubt the value of His efforts, He trusted that His reward was with the Lord. And His work would reap results to the ends of the earth. And we get to make that more true every day!

(I also included my “singing” of William Willliams’ “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” but don’t feel obligated to listen.)

Peace of Mind – Peace of God

Sermon, , , ,

The Prince of Peace has come to establish peace on earth. The first order of business is Peace with God (reconciling rebellious humans with the Holy God). Having peace with God then sets one up to experience the Peace of God (a peace that surpasses understanding and earthly circumstances). As the LORD told through Isaiah and Paul, a peace that guards the heart and mind.

Peace with God

Sermon, , , , ,

Peace is more than a cool down in hostilities.  In Hebrew, Shalom includes a wholeness from righteous rule that brings justice and fruitfulness for all.  And that kind of peace can only happen once we are at peace with God.  What does that mean?  Peace with God is when repentant sinners are surrendered to King Jesus to receive His forgiveness as purchased at His cross.  Hence He is known as the Prince of Peace.

His Name is Wonderful

Sermon, ,

The LORD sent Isaiah with a message of repentance and a reminder that God would keep His promises. And the big promise was that the Messiah would still descend from David to defeat the serpent and establish a better kingdom. Isaiah 7:14 is the start of this section and in culminates here with the fourfold double description of the Messiah to be born of the virgin. We have reason to celebrate!

Favor with God

Sermon,

It is easy to consider the Christian religion to be a series of “do’s” and “do not’s” but that is inaccurate.  Rather, Christianity is an emphatic “done” in Christ for Jesus proclaimed from the cross, “It is finished!”  And these messages are no different.  We take the time to hear from God how Christ gave us favor with God, when we needed it most.
Christ increased in favor with God on our behalf.
