What Belongs to God (I Samuel 1 21-28) 11-15-09
Hannah's faithfulness to her vow to give her only son to God is a powerful reminder that because God gave His only Son, everything we have and are belongs to God. Therefore we are also called to give back everything to God for His glory.

The Church in Ephesus: Revelation 2:1-7
The letter to the Ephesians in Revelation begins with a commendation. Jesus commends the Ephesians for their doctrinal purity. They have fought false teachings and have remained faithful to the truth without growing weary and giving up. Yet, though they have remained doctrinally pure, they have ceased to be faithful witnesses for Jesus because they lost her first love for Jesus. Jesus calls them to remember the depths of their sin and how much they have been forgiven. Some of us are like the prodigal son or the sinful woman in Luke 7, and we know we have been saved from a life of sin. We have been overwhelmed by his grace, but over time, the memory fades and we grow prideful and self-reliant. For others of us, the danger is that we have never had a sinful woman experience. We may not have ever felt desperate, out of control, absolutely empty, and needy. Our savior walks among his people and he sees them all. He will forgive us if we will stop trying to be perfect and simply fall at his feet and beg him for mercy. Run to the one who, though his face shown like the sun, willingly took on flesh to die on the cross in our place.

Jesus: The King
Ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, there has been a battle between two distinct kingdoms: the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of man. In Jesus, God reclaimed all that was rightfully His (the whole universe), re-establishing His rule on earth. How is God's Kingdom present on earth now, and where on earth can we go to experience it?

Jesus: The Priest
Jesus came to earth for three primary reasons: to reveal God to man as Prophet; to bring man to God as Priest; and to bring God's Kingdom to earth as King. In this sermon, we look at how Jesus came to be the true and faithful Priest, offering Himself as the sacrifice for man's sin.

Jesus: The Prophet
Historically, the Church has understood Jesus fulfilled three important offices (often portrayed by others throughout the Bible). These others were imperfect, lesser versions of Jesus, who were called by God to be prophets, priests, and kings; yet, each was only a foreshadow of Jesus, who was the Perfect Prophet, Priest, and King. This week, we examine Jesus fulfilling the role of prophet, and what that means to us as Christians living out the Gospel.
