Matthew 2:16-23

The sermon centers on the profound truth that God's nature is love, and His redemptive work in Christ calls for a reciprocal love from His people. Drawing from Ephesians, 1 John, and the Song of Solomon, it emphasizes that the church is the beloved bride of Christ, called out of the world to a life of devotion, purity, and unity. The love of God, demonstrated in Christ's sacrifice, is the foundation of all Christian relationships—within marriage, the church, and with one another—and demands a response of selfless service, humility, and spiritual renewal. The message calls believers to leave behind worldly distractions, cultivate inner stillness, and live in continual communion with God, knowing that true life is found in loving Him because He first loved us. Ultimately, the church is being sanctified and prepared as a glorious, spotless bride, destined for eternal union with Christ, a reality that shapes both present devotion and future hope.

This sermon presents Mary as a model of holistic worship, emphasizing three interconnected ways she glorified God: through her body, soul, and spirit. It underscores that true worship involves consecrating the physical self as a living sacrifice, honoring God's design for modesty, self-control, and purity, as taught in Scripture. Mary's spiritual depth is highlighted by her declaration, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord,' illustrating the importance of nurturing the soul through prayer, Scripture, and a deep, abiding relationship with God. Her joy in God as her Saviour reveals a spirit fully surrendered, where emotions, thoughts, and will are aligned with divine truth, reflecting the biblical call to worship in spirit and truth. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to pursue wholeness—body, soul, and spirit—sanctified by God's peace, becoming complete in Christ, not perfect, but yielded and transformed.

This is message 25 in The Names of God Series There Is None Like Thee, O Lord Jeremiah 10:1-25 The living God stands alone above every power, belief, and man-made system, and there is none like Him. He is the Creator who formed all things, the King who rules over the nations, and the Judge whose authority cannot be challenged. Every false hope collapses before Him, every idol is exposed as empty, and every life is measured by His truth. He alone hears, speaks, saves, and corrects, and the only right response is to trust Him, submit to Him, and worship Him as the one true and everlasting God.

By Paul Moody - As we approach Thanksgiving, a day our nation sets aside to acknowledge God's blessings, Scripture reminds us that gratitude is far more than a feeling; it is an act of worship. While society drifts towards entitlement and unthankfulness, God's people are called not only to be thankful, but to "give

When life feels out of control, can we still trust that God is in control? This week, Pastor Steve continues our study on God's Sovereignty, exploring what it truly means to trust God when life doesn't make sense.   From Job to Joseph, Scripture reminds us that nothing happens apart from the counsel of God—and yet, God doesn't cause everything to happen. We live in a broken world, but we can choose to: 1️⃣ Worship God when we don't understand, 2️⃣ Believe there's something bigger underway, and 3️⃣ Be patient and faithful as His plan unfolds.   As we abide in Christ and trust His love, plan, and justice, we can rest in the truth that our Sovereign God is always in control.

In this sermon, Pastor Keith reminds us that before we question God's providence, we remember His promise. From Psalm 89:1–18, we see that even in seasons of darkness and disappointment, God's steadfast love and faithfulness remain unshaken. His covenant, His power, and His people all testify that He has not failed. Through Christ, the true Son of David, we can worship still—trusting that His rule is righteous, His promises sure, and His presence our joy.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Philippe Sterling and Sam Marr are answering a question about worship. How should we worship the Lord? Actions, thoughts, words, emotions, conversations, music, tears, demonstration, giving, devotion – which weighs the heaviest? What does it mean to “Worship God in spirit and in truth?” Please listen to

Welcome to the 31st sermon in our series on the books of 1 & 2 Samuel. In the books of 1&2 Samuel, God grants his people a king, but it doesn't go the way they think it will go. Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God's story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God's to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction. Join us through the books of 1&2 Samuel as we look at the stories of prophets, kings and peasants being shaped and formed by God's crucible of power.

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Imagining the ChurchRevelation 19:6-10 (ESV)6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,“Hallelujah!For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory,for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.Sermon OutlineThe picture of the church as a bride (v7) helps us see that the message of God's love is profound (and includes commitment, sacrifice, joy)1. The Marriage Supper v9 “blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper…”v6 “the Lord, our God… reigns”, v7 “for the marriage… has come”2. The Lamb v7 “marriage of the lamb” (cf v9)v10 “the testimony of Jesus”v10 “he fell down to worship”3. The Linen Garment v7 “the bride has made herself ready”v8 “it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen… the righteous deeds of the saints”v7 “let us rejoice”Prayer of ConfessionOur loving God, you have been faithful to us, but we have not been faithful to you. We have taken you for granted. We have assumed a contractual relationship where we have served you in exchange for things we want from you. We have presumed upon your patience by persisting in what you have warned us not to do. We have failed to trust you. We have sinned in ways that have dishonored people whom you have made. Forgive all of our sins. Wash us clean. Show us again your grace and favor, as we strive to put off the old ways and put on what is fitting for those awaiting the great celebration you have invited us to. We pray this through Christ, the one who loved us and who alone is worthy. Amen.Questions for ReflectionDo you find the message of God's love appealing? What skepticism, cynicism, fear or incredulity do you have towards this message? Why?Does it feel like you relate to God under a contract (a practical relationship, a sense of duty, a foundation of exchange, etc.) or a covenant (a personal commitment, a desire to be faithful, a foundation of love)? How does your framework shape your expectations, your experience of God, your interpretation of life events, etc.?Does love typically include joy, commitment and sacrifice? Are all three necessary? Are they always present? What else does real love need?Why is it important to recognize that God is patient and faithful with unfaithful people?Why is Jesus pictured as a lamb in the book of Revelation? What other passages of the Bible help you understand why Jesus is the “lamb of God”?How is a marriage celebration a helpful image for understanding where God is leading history? What does the metaphor of the church as a bride imply about how we are to live? What does it look like to get changed/dressed if the garment is “righteous deeds”? Do you believe the future is hopeful, and that a joyous occasion awaits? Why or why not? How are you currently affected by what you believe about the future?
