“GOD, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right and of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” Hebrews 1:1-4 “Hebrews is basically a book that encourages [exhorts] discouraged Christians to continue on strong with Jesus in light of the complete superiority of who He is and what He did for us.”- David Guzik. The messenger vs. the message “Are they (angels) not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14. “GOD, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets…” the message > the messengerChrist is not another messenger. He is the message“GOD, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son” Hebrews 1:1-2. “The Bible is the record of the different places and different ways by which God has spoken to man. In the book of Genesis, we find God speaking to man by angels; they were the messengers…then God began to speak through anointed men such as Moses and Joshua…. Then God spoke to them through priests…then as time progressed God raised up prophets…But God's final revelation was given to man through Jesus Christ. Jesus came to bring man the final, the ultimate message of God. The ultimate understanding of God. So, all that man is to know about God can be discovered in and through Jesus Christ. This revelation is superior than all of the other revelations. His revelation through the Son is superior than the revelation through the angels.”- Chuck Smith.“39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.” John 5:39“It isn't so much that Jesus brought a message from the Father; He is a message from the Father. He has revealed something no other prophet could”- David Guzik. “(Jesus)who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:3-4“He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over-all creation.16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:15-18. Preeminent: surpassing all others; having the highest rank, importance or excellence. Gnosticism: salvation comes through special, hidden knowledge.Agnostic: without knowledge. Who Jesus is:#1 Heir (“Heir of all things” Heb 1:2) #2 Creator (“he made the worlds” Heb 1:2) #3 Revealer (“the brightness of his glory and express image of His person” Heb 1:3) #4 Sustainer (“upholding all things” Heb 1:3) #5 Ruler (“of His power” Heb 1:3) #6 Redeemer (“He had by Himself purged our sins” Heb 1:3)#7 Supreme (“sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Heb 1:3-4)“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” Hebrews 2:9 “9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name” Philippians 2:9.Jesus' names: Second Adam (1 Cor 15:45)Advocate (1 John 2:1)Almighty (Rev 1:8)Alpha and Omega (Rev 1:8)Author and Finisher of our faith (Heb 12:2)Bread of life (John 6:32)Christ (Luke 9:20)Cornerstone (Ps 188:22)Creator (John 1:3)First and Last (Rev 1:12)Good Shepard (John 10:11)Great High Priest (Heb 4:24)Holy One (Acts 3:14)I am (John 8:58)Immanuel (Is 7:14)Jehovah (Is 26:4)King of Kings (1 Tim 6:15)Lamb (Rev 13:8)Light of the world (John 8:12)Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5)Lord of Lords (1 Tim 6:15)Man of Sorrows (Is 53:3)Mediator (1 Tim 2:5)Messiah (Dan 9:25)Mighty God (Is 9:6)Prince of Peace (Is 9:6)Redeemer (Job 19:25)Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25)Rock (1 Cor 10:4)Root of David (Rev 22:16)Savior (Luke 2:11)Son of the Highest (Luke 1:32)True Vine (John 15:1)Truth (John 1:14)Word (John 1:1)“Jesus' supreme status is demonstrated by a supreme name, which is not merely a title, but a description of His nature and character”- David Guzik. “What do you think about the Christ?” Matthew 22:42. Hebrews invites us to see the fullness of the message found in Jesus

Sunday Morning, December 28, 2025Sailing With the Savior ... Luke 8:22-25A message delivered by Richard Fleming

The phrase “righteous and devout” occurs only once in the Bible, and it is used to describe Simeon. While we do not know much about this great man historically, we do know that Simeon loved God and His people. He was waiting on God to comfort Israel, and he was waiting on God's plan for his own life: that before he died, he would see Jesus. Simeon not only worshiped God when he saw God's Son, he also warned us. Simeon's words remind us that some will reject Jesus and fall to eternal judgment, while others will embrace Jesus and rise to eternal life. He also warns followers of Jesus that life will be hard because Jesus is rejected by this world. Most importantly, Simeon reminds us that our thoughts toward Jesus reveal our thoughts toward God. At the name of Jesus, will you rise or fall?Take-Home Message: Simeon's Savior is the Savior of the world.Simeon Waits (22-26) • Simeon was • Righteous and devout (25) • Waiting for God to rescue and comfort His people (25) • Holy Spirit inspired (25) • Waiting on God's plan for him (26)Simeon Worships (27-33)Simeon Warns (34-35) • Simeon warned • About the fall and rising of many (34) • About the rejection of Jesus and His followers (34-35) • About the revealing of my heart toward God (35)

Jesus, looking towards the cross, tells His disciples what is to come, yet they don't understand. A blind beggar hears of Jesus passing by and cries out in desperate faith to recover his sight. The bling beggar couldn't see with his eyes but recognized his need for a Savior, recognized how important it was for him to see Jesus. A followers of Christ, we too are to recognize our need for salvation everyday, and the love of God that has come and made a way for us to be forgiven and adopted by grace through faith into His eternal family.

Test the TeachersNow it is Christ's turn to ask a question of the leaders. He wants them to solve a riddle from Psalm 110. How is David a father and also a worshipper of his son at the same time? Christ is challenging the scribes and chief priests by questioning their understanding of the Messiah. He uses Psalm 110 to highlight the distinction between David and the Messiah, emphasizing that the Messiah's eternal priesthood and kingship are established through his sacrificial death, not through earthly power. Christ then exposes the scribes' hypocrisy and exploitation, particularly their exploitation of widows, as he observes them in the temple treasury. Some of the leaders are not following Christ as Lord. Expose the FruitsJesus highlights the visible signs of unhealthy spiritual leadership: performative piety, pursuit of honor, and exploitation of the vulnerable, calling the community to judge leaders by their true impact, not by their status or presentation. Christ warns against a group of scribes who prioritize their own significance and exploit the weak, particularly widows and orphans. They seek prestige through outward displays like long robes, greetings in marketplaces, and seeking the best seats in synagogues and feasts. This behavior is exemplified by their exploitation of the poor, as seen in the story of the widow's offering in Luke 21. The fruits of toxic leadership are exposed. It is the fruit of self-promotion rather than Gospel promotion. It is self-priority at the expense of gospel-prioioty. Evidence of ExploitationThe widow's offering is contrasted with public displays of generosity. She serves to expose how the toxic system prioritizes self-advancement and neglects those in genuine need. Christ observes a widow giving all she has to the temple, contrasting her sincere worship with the self-serving actions of religious leaders. This highlights the importance of aligning with God's purposes, recognizing Christ's priorities and values while seeking to live in light of Christ's redemptive work. True leadership prioritizes God's will over self-advancement, avoids exploiting others, and embodies genuine piety and humility that is cultivated for God's glory rather than personal advancement. Hope in Humble ObedienceDespite abuses, Christ encourages humility, self-denial, and patient faithfulness; even in flawed systems, God honors sincere devotion, reminding believers their ultimate hope and value are found in Christ the Redeemer, not in human institutions or leaders. The true joy of the Christian life is finding joy in dying to one's sinful desires while cultivating to life Christ's kingdom values. May our Lord grant us wisdom to discern what is pleasing to him. Let us do this not only individually, but corporately seeking to the church culture Christ would have us build.

What does it truly mean to be found by Jesus? In this powerful message, Pastor Blake unpacks the Gospel of Luke, revealing Jesus as the divine burden-bearer who came for everyone—especially society's overlooked and outcast. Through compelling stories and Scripture, he challenges us to move beyond surface-level Christianity to authentic discipleship. Drawing from his own raw, honest encounter at a gas station, Pastor Blake illustrates how bearing others' burdens often comes at inconvenient moments but leads to beautiful Kingdom opportunities. Whether you're questioning your faith or seeking deeper purpose, this message offers fresh insight into Jesus' mission to "seek and save the lost." Don't miss this transformative exploration of what it means to be truly found by Christ and join His mission to find others.

Inside this conversation we explore who Mary Magdalene actually was and who she was not. Mary Magdalene was a devoted disciple of Jesus--she was delivered from demonic oppression, faithfully followed Christ, financially supported His ministry, stood at the foot of the cross, embodied a burning beloved heart, and was the first to witness the risen Savior (Luke 8:2-3, John 19:25, John 20:11-18).She was redeemed, not the Redeemer. She was a messenger, not the Message. She was a disciple, not a co-Savior. Any teaching that elevates her to equal standing with Jesus is not in line with the word of God and is distracting women away from the One who heals, saves, redeems, delivers, and gives authority-Jesus Christ.She reminds us that God calls ordinary women into extraordinary roles when they press their heart against His heart, passionately pursue to His presence, stay close to the cross, and boldly proclaim the resurrection.Nina is a mentor for Christian women who desire to embody their beloved identity, activate their anointed authority, and walk out their kingdom assignments. She graciously guides women to the heart of Christ and into the fullness of the Father's love through pastoral stewardship & community discipleship--encouraging women to be rooted, resourced, and rested in God so they can be revolutionary in life, love, and leadership. Way of Grace is a global mission & movement for God's daughter who are called, crowned, and commissioned to bring love & truth where it hasn't gone before.Connect with Way of Grace:email nina@wayofgrace.coFree Telegram Channel:https://t.me/+F7Vm4XLUehA5YjZhInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/way_of_grace/Awestruck Masterclass Series for God's Daughters to Rise in Holy Boldness:https://nina-petruzzo-124e.mykajabi.com/awestruckAnointed Masterclass, Becoming a Woman of Courage, Favor, and Influence:https://nina-petruzzo-124e.mykajabi.com/offers/B5t9tdM3/checkout

#3 | "Oh, What a Savior!" | Luke 3:21-4:13 | Mark Irving

After being tempted in the wilderness, Jesus returns  to Nazareth to proclaim the gospel in His hometown. At first the people marvel at Him and anticipate what He will do as His fame has grown. But Jesus, after reading Isaiah in the synagogue and teaching about His identity as Lord, is rejected. Not only are we today to follow Jesus and know the gospel, but live it out even when it's difficult.

This week we study Luke 4:14-20 under the theme “Rejecting a Familiar Savior.” The Jews wanted a Messiah. They just didn't want the REAL Messiah. A relationship with the real Messiah requires humility and repentance. It leads to a life spent favoring the hurting of the world. And it empowers you to walk through and away from the rejections you may face. SERIES SUMMARY: The goal of Dr. Luke's Gospel is to present the universal reach of Jesus' gift of salvation. As a man of science, Luke was not particularly interested in mere spiritual opinions, feelings, rumors, or legends. Educated and orderly, Luke sifted through the garbage of misinformation and bad ideas to bring substantiated eyewitness verification of the truth—a gracious reality of mercy and justice for all.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

Searching for the Savior (Luke 2:22-35) - Morning Sermon

First Sunday after Christmas, December 29, 2024 Our Christmas Series: The Gift of God. This service: God Gives Both Substitute and Sacrifice.First Reading: Isaiah 50:4-9.Second Reading: Hebrews 2:10-18.Gospel and Sermon Text: Luke 2:41-52, Be Amazed by Your Twelve Year-Old Savior.Pastor Nate Kassulke

This third sermon, The Glory of the Savior from Luke 2:8-20, shifts to a quiet hillside outside Bethlehem, where shepherds were visited by a divine announcement that forever changed their lives. The angelic proclamation and the song of the heavenly host invite believers to see the wonder of Christmas as more than a historical event—it is a present and personal reality. The passage unfolds the glory of the Savior as proclaimed by angels, perceived by shepherds, and praised by all who encounter Him. As this narrative is examined, may each person experience the same awe and worship that filled the heavens and the earth on that sacred night.

This sermon reflects on Simeon's encounter with Jesus in Luke 2, where he declares that seeing the Savior is enough to bring peace and fulfillment. It explores how Jesus reveals the thoughts of our hearts, exposing our need for salvation by contrasting His perfection with our sinfulness. Simeon's response shows that true satisfaction comes from Christ alone, who is both the light for the Gentiles and the glory of Israel, fulfilling God's promises to bring salvation to all. The message challenges us to let go of competing desires, embrace Jesus as our all, and live in the hope and joy of His promises, trusting in His Spirit to transform us.

12/22/204 - Chris Randall - Before the Manger - Worshipping the Coming Savior (Luke 1:46-56) by Faith Community Church of South Boston, VA

What began as a normal cable car ride across a Pakistani valley turned into a frightful ordeal. Shortly after the ride began, two supporting cables snapped, leaving eight passengers—including school children—suspended hundreds of feet in the air. The situation sparked an arduous twelve-hour rescue operation by the Pakistani military who used ziplines, helicopters, and more to rescue the passengers. Those well-trained rescuers are to be commended, but their work pales in comparison to the eternal work of Jesus, whose mission was to save and rescue us from sin and death. Prior to Christ’s birth, an angel instructed Joseph to take Mary home because her pregnancy was from “the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:18, 20). Joseph was also told to name his son Jesus because “he would save his people from their sins” (v. 21). Yet, while this name was common in the first century, only this child was qualified to be the Savior (Luke 2:30-32). Christ came at the right time to seal and secure the eternal salvation of all who repent and believe in Him. We were all trapped in the cable car of sin and death, suspended over the valley of eternal separation from God. But in His love and grace, Jesus came to rescue us and bring us safely home to our heavenly Father. Praise Him!
