Before everything was ruined by sin, humanity enjoyed perfect fellowship with God in the Garden of Eden. The garden abounded with gifts from God that direct us to His goodness and cause us to long for Heaven, where sinless perfection will be restored.

As the crown of His creation, God made humanity in His image, giving us a special connection to Him that enables a relationship with Him. A relationship with God is intended to produce a people who look like the image of God: Jesus Christ.

Pastor Adam laid the foundation for our new study in Genesis by observing the creation account and highlighting five lessons we can learn from the creation account.

If God changes lives by His Spirit through His Word, then our ministry should be marked by Word-proclamation and Spirit-dependence. In this sermon, we consider how that conviction shapes everything from evangelism and preaching to prayer and discipleship.

Pastor David Robinson from Westhill Church presents a charge to believers to carry out the great commission through evangelism.

In John 17:24, Jesus reveals His desire that His followers would one day be with Him, see His glory, and enjoy His presence forever. We are kept, sanctified, and unified with this end in mind: that our journey would culminate in our true home–in the presence of Jesus.

In John 17:24, Jesus reveals His desire that His followers would one day be with Him, see His glory, and enjoy His presence forever. We are kept, sanctified, and unified with this end in mind: that our journey would culminate in our true home–in the presence of Jesus.

Jesus sends His disciples into the world as those who are not “of” the world. Consequently, His second request for His followers is that the Father would sanctify them with biblical truth. God is the one who sanctifies, and He does it through His Word.

This Sunday, we examined Jesus’ first prayer request for His followers: that the Father would “keep them.” Our endurance is only possible because of the Father preserves His people. All praise belongs–not to us–but to the Father for keeping us in His name.

Jesus is the bridge between His disciples and the Father in several ways. Not only does He bring the Father to the disciples through revelation, but He also brings the disciples to the Father through intercession.

Jesus glorified the Father on earth by perfectly accomplishing the work He was given. The Father unveils Jesus’ glory when He ascends to heaven. Those who are aware of these truths are driven to bring glory to God in their obedience, driven by a high view of the glorious Christ.

Jesus’ request to be glorified was a willingness to embrace the cross as the very means of glory. Through His death, resurrection, and ascension, Christ reveals God’s glory, gives eternal life, and brings us into a real, personal relationship with the Father.

John 17 gives us the true Lord’s Prayer—the prayer that only Jesus could pray. This prayer reveals both some inner dynamics of the Trinity and the deep love of Christ for His church, as He lifts His people before the Father in His final hours before the cross.

In Revelation 1:17–18, Jesus reveals Himself as the eternal Living One who entered death, conquered it, and now lives forever with absolute authority over it. Our “death problem” has been overcome by Jesus because of His resurrection from the grave.

Jesus does not promise a life free from trouble, but He does promise a peace that holds steady in the midst of it. That peace is found not in changed circumstances, but in union with Christ, trust in His words, and confidence in His victory over the world.
