“The people of God are called to be a people who rejoice. We rejoice because Christ’s first Advent means Immanuel, God with us, but also because at his second Advent we will rest in safety, forever; our souls will not be left among the dead, but will be raised to everlasting life; and he will grant us the joy of his direct presence and the pleasures of life with him forevermore.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Psalm 16
In his son, Jesus Christ, God has withheld no spiritual blessing. Everything pronounced over Israel in Aaron’s blessing at the foot of Mt. Sinai can be found fully in him alone.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Numbers 6:22-27
The God of surprises calls his people from every generation to make their home in the center of his will, to be about his missional work in whatever “cities” they find themselves in, and to put their hope in the future he has in store for them.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Jeremiah 29:4-14
The call to the faithful on Christ the King Sunday is to relent in whatever pride, stubbornness, or focus on the things of the world we might have, and to lift our eyes to heaven, that we might behold with the eyes of faith the Most High God and see reality as it really is.
The church awaits the return of Jesus to establish his kingdom upon the earth in a final, climactic way. But it is not idle in its waiting. Rather, it remains busy, putting to work what has been entrusted to it, in order to see hearts transformed and the kingdom established.
