When our self-identification triumphs over everything, it leads to absurdities……What we’re doing today is trying  to find our identity by looking inside, which is kind of like sending someone out to hike in a wilderness with a  compass that always points to them

As the incarnate Word, Jesus reveals the glory and grace of the Father in a new and climactic way

We become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ

God is making himself known in a unique and climactic way through the person and work of his Son, Jesus

Guest Speaker: John Brockschink // To Know God Is The Reason For Our Earthly Life

The forgiveness of God in Christ is one of the greatest treasures we could ever enjoy in this life

Dr awing near to God today is not so much about where you go , but what you do . It is to seek him in worship and for relationship

Pursue his ways : every trial is an opportunity to grow closer to God, and to display the heart and character of God. And r est in his mercy : every trial is an opportunity to examine our hearts for sin, and to go deeper into God’s mercy.

Even when enemies are winning and God seems absent, we can trust in the Lord for help and salvation

Cry out to the LORD for salvation with expectation

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:19-20

So when life falls apart, know that it’s okay to pray honesty. To pour out your sorrow and frustration before God. And it’s good to pray for help. To ask God to do for you what he alone can do. And it’s essential to pray with hope, looking to God and his loyal, steadfast love which meets us fully in the cross and resurrection of Christ

The promise of hope for God’s people involves the judgment of the wickedness and sin that has created the chaos and injustice of this world

Understanding who we are as frail humans made in God’s image moves us to celebrate how great and majestic God is over all the earth

New covenant worship is not defined primarily by ritual, but by a whole life focused on God’s will to the glory of Christ

In the book of Hebrews, there is a recurring theme, that Jesus is better, but God has not changed

This passage is not so much about running with endurance, but rather about training so that you can run with endurance

If we have Jesus, there is nothing this world can offer, and nothing this world can take away, that can compare to the inheritance we look forward to in Christ

Because Jesus is better in every way, we have confidence to draw near to God, hold fast to the gospel, and stir one another up to love and good works, that we might persevere in faith together

The single sacrifice of Christ in history was enough to perfect all God’s people for all time for an abiding relationship with God

Nothing can purify us completely but the blood of Christ which forgives sin and changes our worship. So eagerly await the fullness of his salvation

As a better priest, Christ mediates a better covenant that brings better promises to bear on God’s people—promises of a renewed heart and lasting relationship with God based on mercy not performance

Because he comes from a more ancient and abiding priesthood, Jesus alone is qualified to complete God’s work of salvation in us

The foundation of our assurance of hope is God’s unchangeable purpose

If our actions are not anchored in the truth of Christ, or guided by the Word of Christ, it won’t be long until they become detached from Christ altogether
