Part 2: Grace & Peace
This sermon teaches that "Grace & Peace" are central to the Christian faith, with grace as the starting point and peace as the goal. It explains that people are at war with God and themselves because of sin, and only through accepting God's grace and peace in Jesus Christ can true reconciliation and fulfillment be found. The message urges listeners to seek grace and peace above all else, rather than relying on worldly substitutes.
Part 1: Marvelous
This sermon explores the opening of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, emphasizing its depth, majesty, and the “marvelous” nature of the Christian faith. Ephesians is described as the crown of Paul’s theology and a concise, detailed guide to living the Christian life.
Part 3: Lift
This sermon centers on Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” It challenges the common perception that this verse is simply about peace and quiet, arguing instead that it’s a powerful call to recognize God’s sovereignty, especially in a world full of “cheaters, manipulators, and pretenders.”
Part 2: Take Me to the River
This sermon explores the meaning behind the verse, “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,” from Psalm 46. Although Jerusalem has no physical river, the psalmist uses the river as a metaphor for God’s presence, sufficiency, and sustaining power.
Part 1: No Fear
This sermon addresses the decline in church attendance and the challenges facing churches today, but encourages believers to have “no fear” because God is their refuge and strength, as described in Psalm 46.
Go Big...
This sermon encourages the church to maintain a bold, forward-looking vision, trusting God to lead them into greater growth and impact in 2025. It warns against complacency and losing sight of the future, using the story of early American settlers who lost their pioneering spirit as an analogy.
Part 4: The 1st Christmas Carol
This sermon, titled “The 1st Christmas Carol,” reflects on the angelic proclamation at Jesus’ birth: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” The speaker emphasizes that this was the very first Christmas carol, sung by angels, and that its message is central to understanding Christmas.
Part 3: 0%
This sermon centers on the idea that salvation and transformation are impossible without Christ—there is a “0%” chance of true change or redemption apart from Him. With Christ, however, “nothing is impossible with God.”
Part 2: A People
This sermon centers on the significance of the Incarnation (God becoming human in Jesus Christ), the authority of Scripture, and the need for personal and church-wide preparation for Christ.
