In this week’s sermon we turn our attention to the second Person of the Trinity, Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. All creation will worship the Man, the Messiah, the Master: Jesus Christ as Lord. Watch now to learn about His identification, humiliation, exaltation, and glorification.

Jesus Himself teaches us that God is Father, always has been Father, and always will be Father. This relationship is unique within the Trinity, but also substantially similar to us. It is only through Christ that God is OUR Father!

If steadfast, devoted, lovingkindness is at the very core of the LORD’s character, how was this expressed prior to creation? Listen to the sermon this week as we see how each person of our Triune God distinctly secures your status as a chosen sojourner with grace and peace.

Who is God? How does He relate to people? What is His name and what does it mean? What is the core of His character? Listen and learn the answers to all of these questions as we look at Moses’ encounter with the LORD in Exodus 34:6-7.

As we look at Psalm 1, the introductory Psalm to the entire songbook, we will see that there is a way of life which leads to eternal joy in the LORD and then there is a way of life which leads to ruin. Those who are truly blessed in the LORD are those who are truly delighted in His word.

God knit together the Jesus family so that when the members of the family SERVE in UNITY, the church increases, multiplies, and grows. The two hands of the church rightly minister to physical needs and minister to spiritual needs.

You stand at the crossroads of FAITH. Follow your own power and the destination is slavery. Trust in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and the destination is eternal FREEDOM. 1 Timothy 4:13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

Here we see the Apostle Paul summarize his letter to the Galatians by laying 2 choices before us: cowardly boast in flesh, or boldly place your confidence on the cross of Christ. We are constantly tempted to put our confidence in superficial obedience for a life of comfort, but the path of everlasting glory is to boast in the shameful cross of Christ.
