Sermons from August 2016

The Trinity: Part 3

We finish the rest of the prologue of John’s gospel. We look at 9 characteristics or descriptions of the living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ and Our Resurrection

When we doubt in the assurance of our resurrection, where do we look? We look to Christ! In this text we see Christ as the firstfruits, guaranteeing the resurrection of all those in him. In this text we see Christ as the second Adam, reversing the effects of the fall and reversing the curse of death through resurrection. In this text we see Christ as the conquering King who will return and destroy all his enemies, including death.

The Trinity: Part 2

We take a detailed look at the first verse of John’s gospel. What we see clearly is that both heresy and contradiction are avoided by the precise use of language that helps us understand who God is and who Jesus is.

The Historical Resurrection

Though many see the resurrection as something absurd to believe the facts tell a much different story. In this sermon we see that the gospel witnesses are contemporary with the events they report. We see their stories corroborated by many other sources. We see the reliable transmission of their testimony and we recognize their lives sealed their testimony with blood. Christianity is an historical religion based on real historical events. What are you going to do with Jesus?
