This is what we preach
- Matthew 28:9-10
Christ's First Three Statements after His Resurrection
- Matthew 28:9-10
In this Easter message, we hear the risen Christ speak his first three words of resurrection comfort: “Greetings,” “Do not be afraid,” and “Go and tell my brothers.” As the women at the tomb discover, Jesus meets sinners with welcome, removes our deepest fears, and sends ordinary believers with his promise. Rooted in Job’s confession—“I know that my Redeemer lives”—this sermon proclaims the victory Christ gives over sin, death, and the grave. Because he lives, we will rise.
- Luke 23:46
Our Savior's Final Prayer Comforts You
- Luke 23:46
In this Good Friday message, we reflect on Jesus’ final words from the cross and the astonishing truth behind them: the God‑Man chooses the moment of His death, entrusts His entire life and saving work into the Father’s hands, and wins the victory that restores our harmony with God. Through Scripture, real‑life stories, and the comfort of Christ’s finished work, this sermon points us to the Father who now holds us with the same love and certainty with which He received His Son.
- John 13:1-15,34
Jesus Speaks a New Commandment Before His Crucifixion
- John 13:1-15,34
In this Maundy Thursday message, we look at Jesus’ “new commandment” and the love that speaks louder than words. From the humility of washing His disciples’ feet to the sacrifice He would make on Good Friday, Christ shows us a servant love that cleanses, empowers, and transforms. This sermon reflects on that love, how it reshapes our hearts, and how it moves us to serve one another with the same grace He has shown to us.
- Psalm 24
How Is Christ the King?
- Psalm 24
On Palm Sunday, Psalm 24 lifts our eyes to see Jesus not as the political king the crowds expected, but as the true King of Glory who comes to claim His world, cleanse His people, and take His eternal throne. This sermon traces David’s psalm through three movements: Christ the King who rules over all creation, Christ the King who makes clean hearts and calls us to seek His face, and Christ the King who enters—not into earthly Jerusalem for worldly power, but into His Church and into the hearts of His people. As the ancient gates are commanded to lift their heads, we are called to open our own hearts to the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord who saves, the King who still comes to reign in grace today.
- John 19:30
Jesus Shouts Out the Victory
- John 19:30
With His final breath, Jesus declared "It is finished!" This was not a cry of defeat, but a triumphant announcement that the sacrifice had been made, the work completed, and salvation secured once and for all. These three words carry the weight of all of Scripture, fulfilling every promise and every picture of atonement that pointed forward to the cross. Nothing remains to be added to what Christ accomplished there, which means nothing can be taken away either. The victory belongs to Him, and because it does, the love of God for His people goes on without end.
