Psalm 121 is a song that the church needs to hear and sing in every season, but especially seasons of distress, doubt, and fear. For here we are reminded that the triune God is our good and gracious Keeper. Note: This sermon was delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic, when our Lord’s Day worship services were […]

“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15 ). With this saying, Jesus launches into a discourse on the relationship between true discipleship and material wealth. Here we discover one of the most profound and practical implications of the […]

For those who have placed their faith in Christ Jesus, whose lives are now hidden with Christ in God, God is our shelter, our refuge, our fortress. He is our Champion. He fights for us, defends us, and delivers us. Not only is he overruling all things for our good and commanding the hosts of […]

Jesus, the baby born in the lowly manger, was the great plot twist in redemption’s story.
