The Gospel story from this text makes it clear we do not come Christ on our own terms, and that is freeing.
In this sermon Pastor Thomas shows how a parable smashes any pretense that we define how we come to King Jesus.
In the first sermon from our "Jesus' Gospel Stories" series we see how the parables call us to a childlike faith.
In this sermon from our "A Defiant Christmas" we see how there can be true peace in chaos in a person, Jesus Christ.
In today's sermon, we see how our desire for control causes us to fear, yet the Messiah, God with us, casts our our fear.
In this third sermon from our "As You GO" series, Pastor Todd makes clear the work of Christ is finished, yet, there is still work to do.
Being thankful ought to mark us a believers, but being thankful has a certain look. It is humble, prompt, and without a hint of arrogant entitlement. From this text we can see how a leper shows us this truth by centering thankfulness on the person of Christ.
Rightly understanding were your identity lies is a key factor in being a thankful believer. True thankfulness comes from rightly seeing reality, that your identity is not dependent on you.
What do we do with the things that God has revealed to us? Often we struggle longing for the hidden things of God and ignore the revealed things. Rather than doing what we know we should do we long for a knowledge God hasn't given. As Pastor David shares, there is nothing new under the sun, and man has struggle with that since the Garden of Eden.
The most high sovereign over all comes to undeserving mankind. Not only does the most high Son of Man come to mankind he seeks wayward men and women, and we, as his followers, ought to seek as He does.
