One Judge, One Sacrifice

Sermon, ,

Life is a gift from God. We have one life to seek Him. After death, we have one Judge who evaluates whether we sought Him or other things. But there is One Sacrifice that covers our sin of self-seeking. Will we seek and wait for Him as our Sacrifice and High Priest?

New Covenant Begins

Sermon, , ,

The old covenant was good, maybe too good. The people were not. So a better covenant was needed. God provided a new covenant for His people – one that would not only make them better – God would give them a new heart through His Spirit.

Deliverance Will Arise

Sermon, , , ,

The LORD is our shield.  The LORD is our Guide.  The Lord’s protection and direction is for His glory.  God protected and guided Esther to the place where she could be His voice to provide relief and deliverance for God’s people.  She is an example for us.  But Esther also points us to the Deliverer who arose to bring about our greater salvation.

Impossible to Renew

Sermon, , , ,

Impossible is a word like never, I avoid using them. But the writer of Hebrews says that arrogant apostasy can be just like that. Impossible to renew those people back to repentance because what else can God do that He hadn’t already shown to them? With men these things are impossible but with God, all things are possible. Keep praying.

Compassion on our Weakness

Sermon, , ,

We may not know much about a High Priest’s job but we still needed a greater High Priest. Thus God appointed His Son to become human so He could better intercede and help His people.

Why He Suffered

Sermon, , ,

The gospel writers narrate the events of the passion week without explaining the significance and reason for cross. But I suspect that is because they expect their people to read beyond the gospels. And that includes reading this important passage from the prophet Isaiah, written centuries before Jesus lived.

Greater Advocate

Sermon, , , ,
