Experiencing God

Psalm 84:1-12 Good morning everyone. I’m so glad to be able to bring the word of God to you this morning. If you want to turn there, we’re going to be in Psalm 84 and when I was a youngster, I can say that now that I’m in the fifth decade of life a long, long time ago, at least it feels like that to me. One of the things that had a significant impact on my soul as a…

The Purpose Driven Life

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Well, it was a joy to be able to open the Word of God with you all this morning. We’re going to be in the book of 1 Corinthians, so if you want to turn there now, please do so. But by way of introduction, I want to start just with a little bit of cultural context. We all, as Americans and really as most the citizens of the world, we’re familiar with the Olympic Games. Many…

The Son and the Angels, Part 2

Hebrews 1:7-14 Good evening, everyone and welcome back. Well, look, we are in Hebrews chapter 1, so if you would turn in your Bibles to Hebrews first chapter. And we started out last time in this section from verses 5 to 14, we’re looking at the pastor’s justification for his thesis statement in verse 4 where he says, “The Son has become as much better than the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.” And after…

Every Christian’s Testimony

Colossians 1:21-23 Please turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter 1 as we come to verses 21 to 23, which is a text that really tells every Christian’s origin story. And also, this text predicts every Christian’s happy ending. So we might call this every Christian’s testimony. This is every Christian’s testimony, Colossians 1, verses 21 to 23. We have been in the classroom the last few weeks with the Apostle Paul learning in Paul’s three-week course on Christology in…

The Son and the Angels, Part 1

Hebrews 1:5-6 We return to our study of Hebrews. You can turn to Hebrews chapter 1, verses 5 to 14, and I will read the section. We’ll make some observations and then tackle a couple verses. The thesis of this opening section is in verse 4, Hebrews 1:4, which says that, “The son has become as much better than the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.” And the pastor then turns to defend that with…

All Things Reconciled

Colossians 1:19-20 Well, turn to Colossians 1 in your Bibles, and we are studying the doctrine of Christ from Colossians 1:15-20 as Paul is portraying Christ in his unparalleled and universal supremacy. And as we are going to be looking today at the final two verses of this high and magnificent Christology, we need to stop at this point and ask why is Paul saying all of this about Christ? What’s the point? Paul has a point, an important point…

A Brief Primer on Angelology

Hebrews 1:5-14 I want to welcome you back as we return to our study of Hebrews. We have covered the introductory section, verses 1 to 4, and we are now looking at the first argument that the pastor makes here in Hebrews that Christ is superior to all of God’s servants. The pastor starts in his argument that Christ is superior to all God’s servants by speaking of Christ’s superiority over the angels in chapter 1, verse 5 all the…

The Pinnacle of Christ’s Supremacy

Colossians 1:17-18 Well, you can open your Bibles to Colossians chapter 1, as it is our great privilege and joy to study in Colossians 1:15-20, this crystal clear teaching on the true nature of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Before we look at our text, I want to pose a question to you, give you something to think about as we consider the verses that we’re going to look at today. And here’s the question: What narrative has the…
