Joy to the World! The Lord is Come! (Mk 15:1-16:8)
The Jesus of Christmas was born to die. His death would make our forgiveness possible. The path to the Cross included the rejection of God's people, contradictory witnesses, sham trials, corrupt politicians, intense mocking, severe scourging, and an eerie darkness. But the ultimate result was the resurrection of the Savior as our King.

Real Biblical Faith Will be Vindicated in the Victorious Lives of God's People
Real, Biblical, saving faith is vindicated in the victorious lives of God's people. This is going to be broken down into two sub points that I will deal with this morning. In the victorious Christian life there is much testing. There are many days of walking through the valley of difficulty and trouble in order to finally achieve that mountaintop of success. That mountaintop of success will be the final vindication of faith by God in Heaven. And in the Christian life there are several paths that God may call us to follow on our path to that mountaintop.

21-SEP-2008 Matthew 26,27,28 -The Gospel as Told by Matthew
Everything about Jesus’ life, teachings and even death, is marked by an inner truth that rings true with everyone. The good news that Jesus proclaimed and lived can not be packaged by one group or another. Jesus and his gospel defy classification. Was he a zealot? Was he a pacifist? Was he religious? Was he anti-religion? Jesus let the proverbial genie out of the bottle and no matter how hard we try to put it back in, the gospel refuses to be bottled.
