Topic: Christ

  • Manna from Heaven

    Israel’s grumbling over daily manna in the wilderness becomes a picture of Christ, the true bread from heaven who sustains his people to this day.

  • Spoils of Victory

    Abraham’s victory over the four kings and the return of the spoils of war becomes a picture of Christ’s greater victory, who plunders sin and death and shares the riches with his people.

  • Lavish Gift of God

    From the gold and silver poured into Israel’s tabernacle to Christ becoming poor for our sake, this sermon traces God’s lavish gift and calls his people to lavish, willing generosity.

  • Justified by the Blood of Christ

    Sinners are declared righteous before God not by their own works but by the blood Christ shed on the cross — justified freely, through faith alone.

  • Who Is Jesus?

    Crowds followed Jesus for loaves and signs, and religions still give many answers. Scripture gives the true one: He is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

  • Does God Exist?

    Before defending the gospel, the message starts with a simpler question: does the evidence of creation – even the moon – already point to a Designer?

  • The Battle with the Amalekites

    Israel’s fight with the Amalekites was won on a hilltop, not a battlefield – as long as Moses’ hands stayed raised in prayer.

  • The Shameful Nakedness of Noah

    Noah’s drunken, exposed shame after the flood becomes an unlikely picture of the gospel: the God who clothed Adam and Eve, and let His Son be stripped naked on the cross, to cover ours.

  • Be Perfect

    Jesus’ command to “be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” exposes every believer’s need for Christ’s own perfect righteousness.

  • The Blessed Christ: A Meditation on Christmas and the Beatitudes

    True blessedness is not a Beatitude checklist to perform but a gift given in Christ, the Victor who secured every spiritual blessing for His people.

  • Joy to the World, Let Earth Receive Her King

    The Christmas carol’s title becomes a sermon on the incarnation: God became flesh, ‘Immanuel, God with us,’ to reverse the fall and dwell again among his people.

  • The Kinsman Redeemer

    Through Judah and Tamar, then Boaz and Ruth, God quietly raises up the family line from which the true Kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Christ, would come to ransom his people.
