Color: White Old Testament: Exodus 14:10—15:1 Old Testament: Isaiah 25:6–9 Psalm: Psalm 16; antiphon: v. 11 Epistle: 1 Corinthians 15:12–25 Epistle: 1 Corinthians 15:1–11 Gospel: John 20:1–18 Introit: Psalm 139:1–2a, 8, 10; antiphon: vv. 18b, 5b, 6 Gradual: Psalm 118:24, 1 Verse: 1 Corinthians 5:7b–8a, c Christ's Resurrection Brings Us Life   “In Adam all die.” For we are all participants in the sin of Adam, who rebelled against God in the garden and brought the curse of death into the world. But “in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor. 15:22)). For He was faithful to His Father and destroyed death on the holy tree. Jesus, the Second Adam, now walks in the garden in the cool of the day and reveals Himself to the daughter of Eve (John 20:1–18). The risen Christ brings not the curse of death but the blessing of life, the resurrection of the body. He leads us through the baptismal sea to new life on the other side, conquering our mortal enemies in its depths (Ex. 14:10—15:1). In this way our Lord Jesus wipes away the tears from all faces. For He has swallowed up death forever. Let us therefore be glad and rejoice in His salvation (Is. 25:6–9)! Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Guided Question How does Jesus' identification with humanity through suffering, temptation, and resurrection empower us to reclaim the destiny God originally intended and overcome the fear of death? Summary In this sermon from Hebrews 2, Dr. Robert Lewis reminds listeners of the subtle spiritual drift that occurs when we focus on worldly fears and distractions rather than the truth of Christ. The message encourages believers to redirect attention to the hope and power found in Jesus Christ, who restores humanity's lost destiny through His obedience, suffering, and resurrection. Christ not only experienced the full range of human limitations and temptations but also identifies with humanity, making Him our perfect Savior, high priest, and source of deliverance from the fear of death. The sermon closes with a personal call to invite Jesus into one's life, experiencing His forgiveness and the fullness of God's intended destiny. Outline The Drift Away from Faith (Hebrews 2:1) Modern fears: war, terrorism, crime, economic instability Spiritual drift is subtle but real, like drifting at a beach unnoticed The importance of paying attention to God's Word to prevent spiritual decline Humanity's Lost Destiny and Its Restoration (Hebrews 2:5–9; Psalm 8; Genesis 1:28) Adam's failure resulted in loss of dominion over creation Christ as the Second Adam restores humanity's intended destiny Evidence of Christ's power: miracles, healing, authority over creation Jesus' Suffering and Identification with Humanity (Hebrews 2:9–13) Christ suffered death for all humanity, tasting our sin and limitations Identification with humanity allows Him to call us “brethren” He lived under human limitations, wrestled with faith, and experienced temptation Jesus' Victory Over the Fear of Death (Hebrews 2:14–15; Mark 4:35–41) Death's threat is rendered powerless through Christ's resurrection Fear-driven slavery to the present life is overcome through eternal perspective Christ's bodily resurrection guarantees hope and eternal life Christ as Our Merciful High Priest (Hebrews 2:16–18; 4:15) He gives help to humanity, not angels, fully understanding human struggles Able to sympathize with temptations and provide aid in our times of need Practical implications: we can turn to Jesus in trials and experience His help Call to Personal Faith and Eternal Destiny (Hebrews 2:1–18) Salvation is accessed through faith, not works Invitation to trust Christ, receive forgiveness, and embrace God's intended destiny Assurance of eternal life through the Holy Spirit Key Takeaways: Spiritual drift can happen quietly; staying rooted in God's Word prevents it. Jesus restores humanity's lost destiny, offering hope beyond worldly despair. Christ fully identifies with human struggles, temptations, and suffering. Death's power is nullified through Christ's resurrection. Jesus is our merciful high priest, able to aid us in every struggle. Eternal fulfillment and destiny are accessible through faith in Jesus Christ. Scripture References: Hebrews 2:1–18 Genesis 1:28 Psalm 8 Mark 4:35–41 Isaiah 8:17 Hebrews 4:15 Recorded 11/15/81

"You can't go back and start over, but you can start today and have a new ending." --Pastor Steve Dow We've all heard of the "Curse of the Bambino," but there is a much older, more devastating curse that has plagued humanity since the Garden of Eden. In this powerful message, Pastor Steve Dow explores how Jesus Christ stepped into history as the "Second Adam" to undo everything the first Adam broke. If you feel trapped by your past or weighed down by the mistakes of previous generations, this teaching reveals the legal and spiritual reality of your freedom. The curse isn't just fading, it has been completely reversed. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

In the inaugural message of our "The Gospel According To…" series, Guest Speaker Seti Latu explores the overarching narrative of Genesis, reminding us that humanity's profound flaws can never thwart God's sovereign grace and covenantal promises. Tracing the foundational stories from Genesis 12:1-9 and beyond, we are beautifully shown how every messy human history ultimately points to Jesus as the Second Adam, the true Serpent Crusher, and the perfect Sacrificial Lamb who pursues us with relentless love.We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/09/26), Hank resumes his overview of Holy Week with Holy Thursday, the epicenter of the divine narrative. A narrative that begins with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. If Adam and Eve had rejected the serpent, they would have eaten from the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge would not have been withheld from them. Instead, they were exiled from the Edenic garden and from traversing the slope leading upward toward the peak of deification. Thankfully, the narrative does not end there. For in the panoply of history, a Second Adam clothed himself in fallen humanity. It was above all in his death on the cross and resurrection from the dead that Christ returned humanity to the life of Eden. This then is the great arc of the biblical narrative. From the Tree of Life in the Edenic Garden to the Tree of Life in the eternal garden. An arch that finds its apex with the Eucharistic bounty spilling forth from the trodden grapes of Golgotha's hill. The Last Supper that we commemorate on Holy Thursday constitutes the central mystery of the Church. It is the source and zenith of Church life. By it, we are changed from human multiplicity to one body in Christ, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Within the Eucharistic assembly, divine life flows into us and penetrates the fabric of our humanity. The future life is infused into the present one and is blended with it, so that our fallen humanity may be transformed into the glorified humanity of the new Adam, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

What exactly happened from the cross to the throne? In this powerful Easter Sunday message, we explore the depth of what Jesus accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus didn't just survive the cross; as the "last Adam," He took our place and suffered the punishment we deserved. Because of His sacrifice, the courts of heaven are fully satisfied, and God is no longer counting your sins against you! We also debunk the idea of "thin places"—because the veil was torn, we all have bold, direct access to the throne of grace through the blood of Jesus. In this sermon, we cover: How Psalm 22 perfectly prophesied the events of the cross. The difference between the first Adam who brought us into trouble, and the last Adam who brought us life. Why we can never earn our salvation by obeying the law. How the exact same immeasurable power that raised Jesus from the dead is currently at work inside of you. If you've ever wondered how to find true rest for your soul or how to be made entirely right with God, this message is for you.If this message encouraged you today, please LIKE this video, SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more weekly sermons, and SHARE it with a friend!

Good Friday Sermon

Genesis 3:20-241. The First Adam brought DEATH, the Second Adam brings LIFE2. The First Adam brought SHAME, the Second Adam brings FREEDOM3. The First Adam was EXILED, the Second Adam brings us HOME

The story of humanity begins in a garden…And redemption turns in another.In Genesis 3, Adam hides, blames, and chooses his own will — bringing sin and death into the world.In Luke 22, Jesus stands in a garden and does the opposite:He steps forward.He takes responsibility.He surrenders His will to the Father.What was lost in one garden…was reclaimed in another.This message explores:• Adam vs. Jesus — the contrast that defines humanity• Why self-will is at the root of sin• How surrender leads to life• What the Garden of Gethsemane reveals about obedienceEvery person lives between two gardens:One ruled by self.One surrendered to God.

Send us Fan MailWhy do believers often struggle to pray, even when they love God?In this message from our series The Genesis & Authority of Prayer, we examine the moment prayer was first distorted. Genesis 3 reveals how fear and shame entered the human heart, leading Adam to hide from the presence of God.But the story does not end there.Romans 5 shows that while sin entered through one man, grace now reigns through Jesus Christ. In the garden of Gethsemane, the Second Adam faced overwhelming pressure and chose obedience: “Not My will, but Yours be done.”Through Christ, access to God is restored. Prayer is no longer driven by fear or shame, but by grace and restored relationship.This episode explores how the fall fractured communion with God—and how Jesus restores our confidence to draw near again.Scripture:Genesis 3:1–13Romans 5:12–17Matthew 26:36–39Luke 22:44

The first Adam brought death. The Second Adam brings life.

Send a textWhy does prayer exist?Is it just a religious practice, or does it have a deeper biblical foundation?In this message from our series The Genesis & Authority of Prayer, we return to Genesis 1:26–28 to rediscover God's original design for humanity. Psalm 8 reveals that mankind was “crowned with glory and honor,” yet Hebrews 2 reminds us that we do not yet see everything under human rule — “but we see Jesus.”Through Christ, the Second Adam, what was fractured in the fall is restored. Prayer is not begging a distant God; it is alignment with the reign of the risen King. It is how heaven's will is expressed on earth.If you are exploring the purpose of prayer, spiritual authority, the Kingdom of God, or what it means to live as an image-bearer of Christ, this teaching will ground you in Scripture and point you clearly to Jesus.Scripture References:Genesis 1:26–28Psalm 8Hebrews 2:5–9#ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Prayer #KingdomOfGod #Genesis #Hebrews #SpiritualAuthority #ChristCentered

Jesus is called many things in Scripture, including the second Adam. That is Romans 5 language. Our guest this week has been teaching Romans in the classroom for 35 years. 

Genesis 2:18-251. Husbands and Wives are Equal, but Different2. God Designed the HUSBAND to be the LEADER3. God Designed the WIFE to be the HELPER4. The sin of ADAM has DISTORTED the home5. The SECOND ADAM can RESTORE your home

1 Corinthians 15:45-49 Dr. Steven Roby

In a quiet garden under crushing pressure, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. In Mark 14:32–42, Jesus enters Gethsemane—the place of the oil press—where the Second Adam submits fully to the Father's will and accepts the cup of judgment meant for us. This week, Pastor Korey walks through the agony, obedience, and love of Christ, showing that our redemption rests not on human strength, but on the faithful obedience of the Son.

The first Sunday in Lent - Pastor James Pierce

You can view the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/_c0ehjpYeTU Lent is the perfect time to review and renew our rule of life (also known as Rhythm for Life at St. Pete's). A rule of life is simply a means of intentionally organizing our life around practices or disciplines that invite the Holy Spirit to help us grow into Christlikeness. In other words, it's a personal plan for discipleship. The disciplines are not a means of belonging to Jesus; they are tools to offer the Spirit that we might become more like the One to whom we already belong. A key feature of the Christian disciplines is that in order for them to bear spiritual fruit, they are undertaken in secret. There are many spiritual disciplines, but most of them fall under Jesus' teaching on prayer, fasting, and giving (see Matthew 6). Prayer may include the daily office (Daily Office or St. Pete's version), spontaneous prayer, meditating on Scripture, lectio divina, silence, solitude, and journaling. Fasting may include abstaining from food on certain days, certain meals, specific foods, media, entertainment, and work (keeping sabbath). Giving may include tithing, giving to those in need, donating to outwards partners like Jacob's Well, serving, volunteering, practicing hospitality, and various forms of stewardship. If you would like accompaniment in reviewing and renewing your personal rule of life, please do reach out to one of the clergy.

Grace Greater Than the Fall is a Christ-centered Lutheran sermon on Genesis 3:1–21 for the First Sunday in Lent (February 22, 2026). This expository Bible sermon explores the Fall of Adam and Eve, original sin, temptation, and the triumph of Jesus Christ as the Second Adam. In this Lenten message, Pastor Balla proclaims Law and Gospel clearly: the devastating consequences of sin, the curse of death, and the overwhelming grace of God revealed in Christ's obedience, wilderness temptation (Matthew 4), and atoning sacrifice on the cross.This sermon speaks directly to spiritual warfare, doubt, “Did God actually say?”, and the daily struggle Christians face with temptation. It powerfully connects Genesis 3, Romans 5, and Galatians 3 to show that where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. Perfect for those seeking biblical preaching, Reformation theology, Lutheran doctrine, and faithful exposition of Scripture.Support the preaching of Law and Gospel here:https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphBuy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags:#LentSermon#Genesis3#LawAndGospel#OriginalSin#JesusChrist

Romans 5 pt4 - First And Second Adam by Ray Jensen

“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

The Great Turning Point: Authority, Judgment, and the Return of the King In this episode of Into the Glory Zone, Dr. Edith Davis explores the profound spiritual shift currently taking place within the Body of Christ. Drawing from the revelations shared by Apostle Bill Winston, Dr. Davis tackles the difficult reality of God's judgment and the "reckoning" that has begun within the Church. She provides a comprehensive timeline of Christ's victory—from the cross to the 1,000-year reign—reminding believers that we have been delegated the same power Jesus operated in to destroy the works of the enemy. This is more than a teaching; it is a mandate to stop being "driven" by the enemy and start being "guided" by the Spirit to subdue the earth. -- The Turning Point: Why the Church is currently at a major junction and must prepare for a reckoning that begins in the house of God. -- The Exchange of Authority: How the "Second Adam" stripped Satan of his power and returned the keys of authority to the Church. -- The Timeline of Eternity: A deep dive into the Rapture, the two witnesses, the Battle of Armageddon, and the binding of Satan. -- The Millennial Reign: Understanding the 1,000 years of peace on earth where Christ shows us how life was meant to be lived from the beginning. -- Our Present Responsibility: Why God holds the Church—not the world—accountable for the state of the planet and our call to heal the sick and raise the dead. -- Choice vs. Deception: Recognizing the difference between the Holy Spirit's conviction and the enemy's drive and condemnation.

Where are you most tempted to turn the Christian life into “doing more” to regain God's approval—rather than resting in Christ's finished victory? In the wilderness, Jesus faces Satan's temptations and proves Himself faithful where Adam (and, by implication, all of us) failed: He submits to God alone, worships God alone, and trusts God alone. Jesus is the Second Adam, succeeding in our place and securing victory over sin, condemnation, and the accuser! Therefore, the Christian's confidence is not found in a fresh “to-do list” aimed at earning God's favor, but in resting in what Christ has already done, and then obeying him out of love and gratitude rather than fear and worry.

Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 35—especially explaining how Adam's fall means that we are conceived sinful. Q35. What effect had the sin of Adam on all mankind? All mankind are born in a state of sin and misery. The lesson establishes that Adam's sin plunged all humanity into a state of sin and misery, not merely as a personal failure but as a federal representation of his posterity, resulting in every person being conceived and born in sin. In contrast, Jesus, as the Second Adam, reverses this curse by redeeming believers through His atoning sacrifice, imputing His righteousness, and initiating a process of sanctification that will culminate in final glorification.

Hank continues his special series leading up to Christmas Day featuring his acronym CHRISTMAS. Today, he picks up with the third and fourth letters of the acronym, “R” and “I”. The “R” in CHRISTMAS refers to Resurrection. This is so transcendently important because, without the Resurrection of Jesus, there is little point in even discussing Christmas. As the Apostle Paul put it in a letter to the Corinthian Christians, “if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless” (1 Corinthians 15:17 NLT). In light of St. Paul's words, it is incumbent on us to demonstrate that the Christ of Christmas had the power to lay down His life and take it up again. The “I” in CHRISTMAS represents the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—the Incarnation that makes Resurrection possible. Jesus took on all the essential properties of human nature, but he did not take on that which is non-essential—namely, sinful inclinations. In fact, as Adam was created without a proclivity towards sin, so the Second Adam was untainted by original sin.

Episode 270 explores Romans 5:10–19 and the joy that flows from reconciliation with God. We trace Paul's language from the “exchange” of idolatry (metallassō, Rom 1) to the “reconciliation” God accomplishes in Christ (katallassō/katallagē, vv.10–11). Reconciliation is an objective gift—received through Jesus' death and life—and its rightful fruit is durable joy, even in suffering.From there, we tackle why death reigns. Paul says sin and death entered through one man, Adam. We walk through three classic explanations of our guilt in Adam: Realism (we truly sinned in Adam), Federalism (Adam as our covenant head and representative), and Jonathan Edwards' identity view (we were present in Adam in the mind of God). Each perspective underscores humanity's universal fall and sets up the contrast with the Second Adam.Finally, we show why imputation is non-negotiable to the gospel: Adam's guilt is counted to all, and Christ's righteousness is counted to believers. Denying imputation in Adam undercuts imputation in Christ. The episode lands with pastoral application—preach the gospel to yourself, repent without excuses, rest in counted righteousness, and use the principle of representation to point others to Jesus.ApplicationPreach the gospel to yourself daily to guard joy.Stop rationalizing sin; run to the Second Adam.Rest in counted righteousness, not performance.Use headship to pivot objections toward Christ's finished work.

Mark 1:9-13 Jesus is the Second Adam (9) Jesus is the Son of God (10-11) Jesus is the Suffering Servant (11-13)

Why did Jesus need to come to earth in human form? Or, why was he called the second Adam? This teaching explains Jesus' purpose, his mission to set us free, and his role as our intercessor, motivating us to receive this freedom and become intercessors with Jesus, freeing others.

We usually emphasize the deity of Jesus Christ, which is a good thing. But the book of Hebrews has a lot to say about His humanity also. In fact, Jesus' favorite title He used for Himself is "Son of Man." Why? Because he was identifying with the human race as the Second Adam who came to undo the damage of the first Adam. Charlie list six ways from Hebrews chapter 2 how the humanity of Jesus Christ is important. First, he came as a man to rule as the future millennial King. Second, He had to experience and suffering for our salvation. Third, He wanted to make us part of his family. Fourth, He defeated the power of death and the devil to free us from the bondage to fear and death. Fifth, He became our High Priest to make propitiation for our sins. Sixth, He can identify with those who are tempted. This truth should give us comfort in the present and hope for the future that we share with our Lord. #SimplyByGrace #GraceLifeMinistries#Hebrews#HumanityofChrist#BaysideCommunityChurchTampa

October 19, 2025 In this week's sermon, Pastor Mike Moses reminds us of our salvation in Christ, the “Second Adam.”

The Bible answers two questions for us that no other human construct does: “Why is there so much evil?” and “Is there a hope for us?” Even though our personal failings may be few and minor compared to others we've seen, we will never have peace with God until we accept the gift brought to us freely by the Second Adam, our Savior Jesus Christ.Sermon Discussion Guide: https://kingspark.org/guide/sep1425

We hope that you enjoy this sermon from our Pastor, Dr. Robert Russell.
