Sermons About Incarnation
The Biggest Sinner You Know
We all tend to think of others as being bigger sinners than ourselves. Paul saw it the other way around, and wanted us to as well. This statement is a summary of the whole Bible. We'll examine how Jesus saves, and why he saves sinners.

Who Do You Say I Am? (Mark 8:27 - 9:1)
Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ -- and Jesus's response -- tell us so much about Jesus and his role. We see that He is the Son of Man and the Lord of all, but also the suffering servant. We see the miracle of the incarnation -- God become flesh. We see his work as our redeemer, humbling himself in suffering, sacrifice and death so that he might bring about our life and glorification. The only appropriate response, then, is for us to worship and obey him -- not so that we might earn his favor, for he has done perfectly for us what we could never accomplish. Rather, we submit ourselves to him in faith, joy and gratitude for who he is and what he has done for us. We are thus called to follow him by denying ourselves and dying to sin.

John 1:1-18 - This is Jesus: True God and True Man (The Prologue - Part 2)
I want to spend our time this morning meditating on the first five words of verse 14. In this passage, John introduces us to what systematic theologians call “the doctrine of the incarnation.†As Wayne Grudem summarizes it, “The incarnation was the act of God the Son whereby he took to himself a human nature.†[1] We sometimes refer to is as “God becoming a man.†What we see in this verse is that the Eternal Second Person of the Trinity (the Word) gained a full and genuine humanity. We therefore affirm that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man, in one person, simultaneously.

On this 4th Sunday of Advent, we look at the remembrances of the last living apostle – John – concerning the birth of Jesus Christ. His interpretation of God's incarnational invasion reminds us that the most comforting thing about Christmas is the knowledge that we have received grace upon grace!

His Name Shall Be Called Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
We consider the miracle and mystery of God become flesh, the birth of the very Son of God in an insignificant town through a series of amazing miracles. Jesus is the son of David whose rule will be forever. All things are under his rule and authority -- we must live under his rule and authority here and now.
