Jesus Redeems Authority

Jesus Redeems Authority

• He did not use his authority selfishly
• He submitted to authority
• He was exalted to the highest authority
• He is our example

Wait for the LORD when it feels like he’s doing nothing.

In week two of our Isaiah series, Pastor Matt unpacks a BIG IDEA we all need remonding of from time to time: Wait for the LORD when it feels like he’s doing nothing.
(1) He is incomparably great (Isaiah 40:12-26)
(2) He will give you what you need (Isaiah 40:27-31)

God’s Family Has Members

This week, pastor Matt Cohen kicks off our August sermon series on “God’s Family” by showing from the Scriptures that “God’s family has members.” The text is Ephesians 2:18-19. He answers the questions, Why join a local church? And, What are the benefits of joining a local church?

For the sake of joy, think like Jesus

In Philippians 2:5 Paul connects the overarching theme of joy to the way that we think: Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus. That brings us to the big idea of our passage this morning: For the sake of joy, think like Jesus. Daily joy comes as we take on the attitude and mindset, the very thinking of Jesus, specifically in the way that we relate to one another. What kind of thinking characterized the king of glory, born in a manger? 1. He thought of others 2. He thought of God 3. He thought of future glory.

Think Like Jesus

Remember the humility of Christ for you and me – fully God he laid down his place in glory to rescue us.  He came as a man to serve and was humbly obedient to the point of death.  And God exalted him; Jesus reigns forever as the king of Glory!
