Sermons from December 2020
Jesus Is the Treasure
As we take time to consider the past year and look forward to the new one, we must be mindful of our goal and focus. In this exhortation from Colossians 2:1-3, we’re reminded that Christ is the treasure and the measure of what is good, lovely, and worth living and dying for.
The King Is Born
Traditions can grow so familiar that their meaning can be lost or forgotten. At Christmas we can often forget that this is a celebration of the entrance of the King of kings into his creation. Christ has come and his kingdom continues to expand. Here is a cause for celebration and rejoicing!
How Do We Prepare?
Alex Russell preaches from 1 Peter 4:1-2, “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.”
The Light of the World
Jesus is the light of the world and his light is still shining in this world through his body, the church. We reflect on what it means to be a light in the darkness of this world. May the church rise up and shine the light and be that city on a hill.
Coming Short of Repentance
God continues to address Job in his second speech. Job has no argument or response to God yet this comes short of true repentance. Job must not only drop his case, but repent of his accusations against God. Here we get a closer look at what God expects in repentance.
