Sermons About Atonement
Faith or Observance of the Law
Paul continues his argument to show the Galatians that we are justified by faith, and not by works of the law (circumcision, ceremonial & moral law). He uses 3 arguments in this passage: the Galatians' own experience, Abraham's experience & the testimony of the Law. Faith rests or relies on Jesus for salvation, and receives the many blessings He has purchased for us.

Suffering Like Jesus
A life of suffering is not something people normally choose, at least on purpose. In fact, most people prefer to avoid it at all costs. Yet suffering is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ that the Bible tells us about. It is impossible to understand the gospel apart from the theme of suffering. Today in our teaching from 1 Peter 2, we see once again the theme of suffering, this time played out in the life of Jesus. It is a lesson for us that suffering is a part of following Christ, and that in the midst of suffering, we must follow the example that Christ set for us. Listen today as we learn more about enduring suffering in a fallen world.

God with us (Matthew 1:22-25)
Jesus Christ is utterly unique. He is the Name above all names. He alone is the God-Man. This is, in theology, known as the “hypostatic union,†which simply states that Jesus Christ is One Person with two distinct natures, One fully God, one fully human residing together in the one Person of Jesus Christ unmixed, unconfused, and undivided. 100% God & 100% Man, in the one Person of Jesus Christ, who from the point of the virgin conception and birth exist eternally as the God-Man. This is a mystery that exceeds the capacity of our minds to fully grasp. So here we enter into Matthew’s purpose: To establish Jesus Christ as the God-Man who came to Save (His people from their sins), Fulfill (OT prophecy), and Reveal (God to men).

A Savior from Sin (Matthew 1:18-21)
The announcement of the appearing of Jesus Christ came with the greatest news a sinner could ever hear, "He will save His people from their sins." From the unique circumstances of His birth to the three fold announcement of the purpose of the incarnation, Jesus Christ is the name above all names. He is the One who will Save His people from their sins, Fulfill all that the prophets spoke about, and Reveal the Father. This week we examine the unique circumstance of the virgin conception and the first purpose of His appearing: to "save His people from their sins!"

Joy in the City
Joy is meant to be an part of the normal Christian experience. Affliction and prosperity tend to stifle our joy, revealing our joy is being sought in something/someone besides Jesus. Joy prepares us to worship and moves us to freely dedicate ourselves, money and time to God to accomplish His mission.

The Story of Everything - Jesus
