The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Philippians 2 (in which Paul describes Jesus' lowering of himself in order to save us) and Matthew 21, in which Jesus tells a parable about two sons. Only God, in Christ Jesus, can and does reorient hearts to love him.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 18, in which Jesus tells a parable about an unforgiving servant. We can forgive only because, on the cross, God has taken the penalty for our sin back onto himself.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 18, in which Jesus gives a rubric for discipline in the church. Church discipline is all about the Gospel: it protects our proclamation, and enables the forgiveness of sinners.
