This is what we preach
- Isaiah 49:17-18
A Map of the Coming Messiah: Christ Is Our Home and Ultimate Destination
- Isaiah 49:17-18
The Lord promises that His scattered children will return while their destroyers depart, reversing the devastation that once marked His people. God gathers His people from all directions, transforming them into precious jewels that adorn His Church like a bride's ornaments. Christ's Church becomes our true home and ultimate destination, where we are not merely welcomed but treasured as beautiful adornments that glorify Him.
- Isaiah 49:13-16
A Map of the Coming Messiah: Christ Is Our Compass Who Never Fails
- Isaiah 49:13-16
Though creation rejoices in God's comfort and mercy, His people sometimes feel abandoned and forgotten in their affliction. God answers this fear with an unforgettable promise: His love surpasses even a mother's devotion to her nursing child. Christ is our unfailing compass, having inscribed us on the palms of His hands, never forgetting us or losing sight of us through any trial.
- Matthew 11:2-11
How Can You Know That Jesus Is the Messiah?
- Matthew 11:2-11
When John the Baptist questioned whether Jesus was truly the Messiah, Jesus pointed to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies through His miraculous works and gospel proclamation. Christ validates His messengers like John, who faithfully prepare the way for the kingdom despite persecution and doubt. Through faith in Jesus, even the least in God's kingdom receives a status greater than the greatest prophet, demonstrating the transformative power of belonging to Christ.
- Isaiah 49:7-12
A Map of the Coming Messiah: Christ is Our Highway Restoring Our Inheritance
- Isaiah 49:7-12
The despised Servant will be exalted before kings and rulers because of the Lord's faithfulness. Christ establishes a new covenant, making smooth highways through mountains and leading His people out of the prison of sin and darkness into restoration. He guides His redeemed people to places of rest and provision, where they will neither hunger nor thirst, as He restores their inheritance and gathers them from the ends of the earth.
- Matthew 3:1-12
The Coming of Our Lord Changes Our Hearts and Minds
- Matthew 3:1-12
John the Baptist's message of repentance prepares us to receive Christ by transforming how we approach God's kingdom. Through his preaching, we learn to listen attentively to God's Word rather than relying on our heritage or self-righteousness. The coming Lord changes us fundamentally—opening our hearts to His Word, assuring us of salvation through grace alone, and empowering us through the Holy Spirit rather than our own strength.
