In ancient Israel under Moses, blood of the Passover lambs was put on the doorposts and the lintel of the houses of the Israelites in Egypt in order to protect those inside from physical death. But still, more was necessary for the quality of the Passover lambs and their preparation and consumption through the congregation. This sermon shows that all these requirements and characteristics were fulfilled by Christ and that they are being fulfilled today by His Church.
Sermons
Easter in the Bible?
Does the Bible have anything to say about Easter? What do the worldly customs of this festival have to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? What does God command us to do instead of keeping this man-made holiday?
Forgotten Christianity—Overcoming!
Beyond our calling, repentance and baptism, is there more that we, as Christians, should be doing? Do we grasp the tremendous challenges before us—things we must be overcoming?
Facing the Pain & Adversities of Life
In this Sermonette we will together consider the scriptures that prove to us that our suffering is a trial that can prepare us for what God requires from us, and what He has in store if we overcome, as Christ overcame.
Is Our Trust Aligned with our Goals?
It is easy to state that we “trust in God” but do our actions acknowledge that fact? Trust isn’t demonstrated by statement, it is proven by action. Our belief in God must fundamentally be ingrained in every part of our lives. It is in that state that we confirm what it really means to have trust in God.
Sharpening the Ax
When urgency takes all of our attention, our actions take the form of reaction. It is critical in the life of a Christian to dedicate time to meditate on transforming our lives and choose our actions intentionally.
Conviction!
How convicted are we in what we believe, to the Truth, and are we committed to it for life?
When, How And What Should We Hate?
Is there something like righteous and godly hatred? For a Christian, it may be difficult to see how “hate” could be a part of God’s character, because many feel erroneously that a Christian must never hate. However, David gives us several examples in the book of Psalms which show us what and how we should and must hate. This includes the command to stay away from people who want to tempt us and others to sin.
When, How and About What Should We Be Angry?
Is there righteous anger which Christians should and must have? In this sermon, we will look at examples of righteous men who became angry, and they had godly reasons for that. We will see that even Christ became angry, and why this was the case.
Stress At This Time
We live in a time of great stress and fear. How can we avoid becoming overwhelmed and worried when so many things around us are going wrong? What can we learn by studying the word of God in this regard?
