- 1 Corinthians 10:14-22
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Commune with Him?
- 1 Corinthians 10:14-22
Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:14-22, the profound choice of spiritual allegiance is examined: we are either in communion with Jesus or with the deceptions of the Devil. The Apostle Paul warns against idolatry, highlighting that partaking in the Lord's Supper signifies a true communion with the body and blood of Christ. This sacred act not only connects us intimately with Jesus but also unites believers as one body in Him, contrasting sharply with any association with demonic influences.
- Luke 19:28-40
Christ the King Enters Jerusalem to Save Us
- Luke 19:28-40
This sermon explores Christ the King's deliberate entry into Jerusalem, not as a conquering warrior but humbly on a donkey's colt, signifying His peaceful mission to save us. As He foretold, His disciples prepared His way and joyfully proclaimed His arrival, their actions reflecting trust in His divine foresight and sovereign plan.
- Mark 15:22-30
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Crucify Him?
- Mark 15:22-30
The sobering reality of Jesus' crucifixion, as detailed in Mark 15:22-30, reveals Him mocked and nailed to the cross. While many groups, from the Sanhedrin to Pilate and even His disciples, bear historical blame for His death, the message underscores that ultimately, every sin necessitates His sacrifice, making all humanity culpable. Despite this, Jesus willingly went to the cross out of profound love for the world, and His death secured immeasurable blessings for us.
- Isaiah 43:16-21
God Works Salvation from the Hostility of this World
- Isaiah 43:16-21
Drawing from God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt, this message explores how Christ's salvation surpasses all previous acts of deliverance. Through both physical and spiritual salvation, God forms a people for Himself who respond with praise and thanksgiving, demonstrating how His saving work transforms hostile circumstances into opportunities for His glory.
- Mark 15:16-20
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Mock Him?
- Mark 15:16-20
After Pilate's compromise, Roman soldiers subjected Jesus to cruel mockery, dressing Him in royal attire, crowning Him with thorns, spitting on Him, and striking Him. This horrific scene reveals the depth of human cruelty when confronted with divine authority. We must consider how our own actions or insincere worship might inadvertently mock Christ, yet find hope in knowing that even those who mocked Him can receive His forgiveness.
- Isaiah 12:1-6
We Sing Out God's Grace
- Isaiah 12:1-6
This sermon explores why we sing out God's grace: because He saves us from His just anger and because we must proclaim all the amazing things He has done for us. Our songs celebrate His salvation and declare His deeds to the world, as Isaiah 12 encourages.
- Luke 23:13-16
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Compromise Him?
- Luke 23:13-16
Pilate, knowing Jesus was innocent, attempted to compromise justice by offering to flog Him instead of executing Him, hoping to protect his own position. This compromise failed, showing that appeasing evil rarely works. Christians can also be tempted to compromise their faith for worldly gain, but Jesus remains steadfast. He strengthens us through His Word and promises never to compromise His commitment to us.
- Matthew 26:59-66
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Condemn Him?
- Matthew 26:59-66
Driven by a murderous desire, the Sanhedrin ignored justice and used false charges to condemn Jesus. They ultimately condemned Him for blasphemy because He affirmed He was the Christ, the Son of God, despite knowing His claims and power. Even though people may still condemn Him today, Jesus willingly went to the cross to secure forgiveness for all, including His condemners. He remained on the cross out of love for us, offering salvation even to those who reject Him.
- Matthew 26:69-75
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Deny Him?
- Matthew 26:69-75
Peter, known for his boldness, unexpectedly denied Jesus three times out of fear, just as Jesus predicted. Christians throughout history have faced similar pressures to deny their faith. Jesus stood firm against this temptation for us, ultimately winning Peter's forgiveness through His death on the cross. Because Jesus forgives our failures, we can learn from Peter's experience and rely on His strength to avoid buckling under pressure.
- Mark 14:43-46
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Betray Him?
- Mark 14:43-46
Judas betrayed Jesus for money, allowing greed to become his god despite experiencing God's grace and promises. We too face temptations to betray Christ for worldly desires, which are cruel false gods. However, Christ resisted these temptations for us, removed our sin through His sacrifice, and promises to provide for all our needs. Therefore, we should trust in His provision rather than betraying Him for fleeting gains.
