     | 5,617 views

    As we consider at Christmas the reasons Jesus came, service is near the top of the list, a self-giving service that led all the way to the cross.

    Jesus was born in Bethlehem to serve, and servant-hood is the theme of this messianic prophecy. It has been called Isaiah’s “Servant Song.” The Servant is the anointed Messiah, the Lord Jesus, “Who being in very nature God...made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of ...read more

    Behold The Lamb

    Occasionally, Scripture presents us with events that change everything—epochal moments. This sermon explores one such event from John 1, marking the public unveiling of Jesus' ministry.

    Epochal Events I came across a short line from a theologian and scholar named Richard D. Phillips. He basically said this (as I'm paraphrasing here), “Occasionally in Scripture we come across a truly epochal event that just changes everything.” — Richard D. Phillips I love that word: ...read more

    In our relationship with Christ and our fellow believers, God has given us a call to demonstrate our love to both by serving one another. Service is love in action. Service ought to be a natural product of the Christian life. Service is selflessness.

    The clash between Jesus and the Pharisees intensified during the time of His public ministry. He rebuked and condemned them for their hypocrisy and unbelief, warning them of the eternal consequences.

    After healing the man with the withered hand (12:9-14), the Lord Jesus continued His work of healing the sick and teaching the Word. Now the people brought before Him a man who was not only demon-possessed but also suffered from blindness and the inability to speak. Jesus immediately cast out ...read more
