The King of the Kingdom

Jesus spoke as one who had authority. He then demonstrated His authority through the miracles He performed. His compassion for people was undeniable as He healed the sick, the paralyzed, and the blind. Yet He was so powerful that even the wind and waves obeyed Him. All of these miracles were a tangible way for people to see He was who He said He was: the Messiah, the Son of God, who came to save the world.

Pastor Ryan addresses anxiety by reminding the congregation of their worth in God's eyes. He teaches that worry stems from a misplaced devotion and that overcoming it involves trusting in God’s intimate knowledge and provision for all their needs, as instructed by Jesus in Matthew.

The sermon explores the transformative power of the gospel, explaining how it leads individuals to live with radical purpose and devotion to God. It emphasizes key theological concepts such as grace, propitiation, justification, redemption, and faith, illustrating how these elements of the gospel offer salvation and a new life in Christ.

Pastor Jim teaches that true generosity is not about how much we have but about our relationship with God, as shown by the impoverished Macedonian church in 2 Corinthians 8:1-15. He challenges the notion of waiting to give until we have more, urging the congregation to embrace giving now as a practice that reflects our faith and brings joy.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of gathering as a church community to worship, draw near to God, hold fast to the hope in Christ, and encourage one another in love and good deeds, as outlined in Hebrews 10:19-25. It warns against spiritual passivity and consumeristic Christianity, urging believers to live in light of the coming day of the Lord, fostering a community that reflects the transformative power of the gospel.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of prayer as an ancient spiritual discipline, encouraging believers to engage deeply with God by following the pattern of the Lord's Prayer. It highlights the need for a relational approach to God as Father, worship through prayer, surrender to God's will, persistent requests, and readiness for spiritual warfare, all while recognizing the privilege of prayer made possible through Jesus Christ.

Pastor Jim uses Jeremiah 6:16 and 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 to stress that true Christian living involves more than just belief—it requires active participation as a member of the church. He argues that membership is a call to unity, diversity, and mutual responsibility, where each person's unique gifts are vital for the health and mission of the entire body of Christ.

Building on a previous sermon, Pastor Scott's sermon emphasizes the importance of genuine Gospel Community as the antidote to modern loneliness and spiritual emptiness. He explains that through reconciliation with Jesus, we become citizens of His kingdom and are able to confess our sins and embrace the vulnerability needed to find true belonging and grace with one another.

Pastor Ryan encourages the congregation to move beyond fleeting New Year's resolutions and seek fulfillment on the ancient paths found in Scripture. He argues that our desire for something more in life reflects a divine purpose, urging listeners to find rest and a deeper relationship with God by following these uncomfortable yet transformative paths.

The sermon focuses on the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in the past as essential preparation for the new year, rather than just making resolutions and plans for the future. Pastor Christopher emphasizes that forgetting God's past faithfulness can lead to both shrinking faith during difficult times and inflated ego during successful times, while remembering His works builds genuine faith and proper humility.

The sermon, titled "Far Greater," focuses on the parallel announcements of John the Baptist's and Jesus's births in Luke 1, emphasizing God's power through impossible births (Elizabeth's barrenness and Mary's virginity). Through these accounts, the sermon illustrates three main points about God - His power to do the impossible, His preeminence shown through Jesus becoming the "most low," and His faithfulness to His promises despite our belief or unbelief.

The sermon discusses the concept of hope and deliverance through the lens of Isaiah 9, explaining that while humans often seek deliverance through self-reliant means, true deliverance comes through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that God's path to deliverance is different from our expectations - it primarily delivers us from sin rather than just circumstances, comes through the unexpected means of a child (Jesus), and is accomplished by a unique Deliverer who offers eternal salvation rather than just temporary relief.
