If you could capture in an image what the Christian’s life like is with God, what image might you choose? This sermon will suggest in closing that it is the image of a light-hearted person. Why? It is God’s will for us in Christ Jesus that we receive the gifts of rejoicing, prayer, and gratitude. These three gifts combined give the Christian the ability to entrust their entire life to God.
This world has a trajectory and a history, which culminated in Christ’s first coming. There is nothing more for Christ to do for our salvation. It is finished. What happens next? This sermon explores some of the apocalyptic tendencies of our historical moment, clearing the way to call the Christian heart to a sober awakeness because of what Christ has done for us and because of his imminent return.
We are often ambitious for many things. We can tell what we’re aspiring for by looking at what we want in our future, what we regret about your past, or what we want for our children. This sermon fleshes out what God wants us to be ambitious for and strives in its own way to empower that with the gospel of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ.
We are coming together in Jesus’ name around the Word of God in the pandemic. We are doing it using the book of 1 Thessalonians. Today we examine the difference between faith in God and trusting in an idol. We discover the necessity of waiting, the beauty in waiting, and the end of all waiting.
Peace is coming together in this time of the pandemic. We are meeting uncertainty with the certainty of the Word of God. We are meeting change with the changeless nature of God in Christ. We are meeting fear with the perfect promises of God. This is the first in a worship series that aims to speak clearly to this moment.
