Behold

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us, for we tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that composes the Church. Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God.” - A.W. Tozer

 

What is YOUR idea of God? How do you see Him? We become what we believe about who God is. The way we worship Him is based on how high our thoughts are of God. So how does your life reflect the God you follow? Join us as we enter into a new sermon series called Behold, as we reflect on the attributes of God.

This sermon teaches that while everything in life is temporary, the immutability of God—His unchanging nature—provides a stable and loving foundation. It emphasizes that God remains both just and loving by applying His unchanging justice to Christ on the cross, which in turn allows His unchanging love to be poured out on believers, who can find hope and stability in Christ alone.

This sermon, based on Ephesians 2, argues that the gospel forges a deep, multicultural oneness among believers by creating a new, supernatural community in Christ. This unity is achieved by tearing down the "dividing wall of hostility" that separates people, ultimately forming a new race whose primary identity is rooted in their shared dependence on Jesus's sacrifice and their common citizenship in God's kingdom.

This sermon focuses on the Incarnation—God becoming human in Jesus—as the ultimate example of God's humility, which provides a foundation for a proper view of ourselves and others. It encourages believers to be "incarnation people" by living out this same humility, denying their own rights for the flourishing of others, and bringing "Shalom" (peace) to a broken world, particularly in the face of racial injustice.

This sermon uses Isaiah's vision of God's holiness to illustrate that true awareness of our own sinfulness comes from a vertical look at God's perfection. It then pivots to the good news that God's holiness is not just a source of our disintegration but also our development, as the sacrifice of Jesus atones for our sin and imputes His own holiness to us, making us new.

This sermon, based on Ephesians 1, argues that God's immense power is active in believers, not only saving them but also transforming and perfecting them through the indwelling Holy Spirit. The message highlights that this power is not earned by human effort but is a gift of grace that guarantees a believer's future redemption and is ultimately demonstrated through Christ's sacrificial love on the cross.

This sermon explains that God's wrath is a deserved, controlled, and ultimately absorbed response to humanity's rebellion and desire for self-rule. It uses the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane as a picture of our collective enmity toward God, demonstrating that all people, regardless of background, stand in opposition to Him.

This sermon, based on Psalm 8, reveals three aspects of God's majesty: His power shown in creation, His mindfulness in caring for insignificant humanity, and most importantly, His humility revealed in Jesus Christ. The message argues that Jesus, the Creator, willingly became human and suffered a temporary humiliation "a little lower than the angels" to die on our behalf, ultimately restoring humanity's purpose and providing the greatest reason for our worship.

This sermon explains that Christians can endure hardship by understanding that God, as a perfect parent, uses discipline to train and nurture His children. It emphasizes that this divine discipline is a sign of His love, which, though painful in the moment, ultimately produces a peaceful fruit of righteousness and allows believers to share in God's holiness.

This sermon emphasizies that a secure identity is found not in worldly achievements but in a relationship with Jesus, who transforms our past and secures our future. The message encourages the congregation to find their purpose by remaining faithful to God's calling and continuing His mission of spreading the gospel.
