The Glory of Gospel Ministry
2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Find your way to 2 Corinthians 4:1. Paul’s second epistle to the Corinthians is really the most autobiographical of all his epistles. That letter reveals Paul’s deep affection for the Corinthians. It gives us insight into what he suffered as an apostle, as Jesus promised him. And we see in the suffering and in the trial and affliction, we see what’s revealed is the heart of this apostle. And you can see the work of grace of…
Truth Known Too Late

It’s, this church is beloved to you because its members have been accepted in the beloved. We are hidden in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are united to him, and his righteousness covers over us. Our sin has been forgiven. It’s been done away with because of his perfect sacrifice on the cross. So…
Resurrection and the End of Sin
Romans 6:1-11 The Scripture readings foreshadowed what I want to share with you this morning about one of the most significant implications of the Gospel, and one that is in dire need of redressing in our modern day. In the message of the Gospel, we learn that God saves sinners. We learn that God reconciles sinners to himself, not counting their trespasses against them because of the atoning death of Jesus Christ on the cross. All who repent of their…
How His Kingdom Comes
Luke 13:18-21 If you could turn in your Bibles to Luke, Chapter 13, we are finishing up a section today. Two brief parables from Jesus, and you’ll find them in Luke 13:18 to 21. Luke 13:18 to 21. Two simple parables. But once again, we find, what appears to be simple on the surface is profoundly searching and at the same time profoundly encouraging to us. Jesus said, “Therefore,” Luke 13:18, “He said therefore, ‘What is the kingdom of God…
