King's Table Church Sermons

In one of the most explicit and extended teachings on giving in the New Testament, Paul writes to the Corinthian church and tells them that he is sending some of the brothers to come collect the gift they promised so that they will have time to ready and prepare it. He reminds them the necessity of giving out of cheerfulness and generosity - not reluctantly out of compulsion. He reminds them that...

Paul writes to the Romans urging them to present their bodies as living sacrifices because of the mercies they have been given by God. This is the essence of what Christian living means - to offer our whole selves with no reservation for the glory of the One who offered himself for us. Instead of thinking highly and only of ourselves, Paul teaches that we are to instead consider the part that each...

Following his theological discourse on the priesthood of Christ and the sufficiency of his sacrifice, the writer of Hebrews makes application to the people of God and the corporate life they share together. He begins, "Therefore, brothers and sisters." The confidence that we have in the blood of Jesus - in the new and living way that he has opened - leads us to respond in a few different but compl...

Hallelujah - he has answered our cry and fulfilled the law and the promise by raising up a horn of salvation.

God is actually the King. Declare his greatness!

The brokenness exists and persists because it is we that have sinned! The Lord is actually good and faithful and his love endures.

You promised the forever reign to David - but now you seem to have rejected? How long will this persist?

The Lord bless the king and his forever reign! The land flourishes beneath his rule.

The law of God is perfect (and sweeter than honey).

In this Psalm, we are given a portrait of two different types of king. First, we have the kings of the earth. They lead raging nations who plot together in futile pursuits. They take counsel together against the Lord and against his Messiah and ask how they can throw off his rule - how they can break from his constraints and live by their own. This is characteristic of every government that you kn...

Happy is the one who delights in the law of God! Sin does not bring happiness. While the grass might seem green on the side of self-indulgence, it does not actually produce a blessed life. Happiness waits for the one who avoids the advice of the wicked, the path of sinners, and the company of mockers. This blessed life of happy contentment is produced from delight in the Lord's instruction. Let us...

One of the themes of this letter is Peter's application of Old Testament imagery to these Christians to which he is writing. That imagery continues here as he takes up the picture of the Cornerstone in Isaiah 28 and Psalm 118 as well as the Stone of Stumbling in Isaiah 8. He speaks of both of these as pertaining to Christ and says that we come to him also as living stones being built up together i...

Peter has glorified in the gospel and called these Christians to the requisite holy living that must result. He now adds another idea: Growth in holiness will lead to a greater love among believers. He gives them the imperative to love one another constantly because they've been born again by the word of God. Unlike the fleetingness of our flesh, the word of God is permanent and provides a permane...

Peter transitions here with a "therefore." Because of your identity as chosen exiles and because of the salvation you have received - be sober-minded. Peter continues the theme that he introduced from the outset that obedience and being sprinkled with the blood of Christ go hand in hand. He tells them here to have minds ready for action with a hope set on the revelation to come. A future hope that...

Peter continues to unpack the beauty of the salvation that we have received in Christ. Not only is it a salvation that we have presently received new birth into and a future salvation that is waiting to be revealed - but it is also a salvation that has been preached and proclaimed and prophesied in the past. The audience to which Peter is writing is living in the fulfillment of salvation history....

Here in Peter's greeting, he already introduces some major themes for this letter. To the elect temporarily dispersed abroad. This is the identity of the church. Elect aliens. Not necessarily exiled as John will be on Patmos - but alienated, dispersed, far from home. Because for Peter, the elect only arrive back home in the day of our salvation and resurrection. And so Peter begins the entire lett...
