Hebrews 2:5-9
Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birth. The day God became man. The Son of God took on human flesh with all its weaknesses and endured a human life without ever becoming anything less than fully God. He remained “the radiance of the glory of God” while becoming “flesh and blood” like his brothers. It is the most glorious mystery of the Christian faith. In this series we’ll explore what Hebrews has to say about both what the Incarnation means and why it was necessary.

Titus 3:8-15
Too often we recoil when the words works and salvation are used in the same sentence, but Scripture teaches us that we shouldn’t. There is a sense in which good works are expected of those who have been saved. As Paul closes his letter to Titus, he re-emphasizes the truth that we are not saved by good works, but we are saved for them. In this passage we’ll gain a healthy understanding of the relationship between salvation and works.

Titus 3:3-7
Paul’s message in this text is clear: conversion does not come by human effort but because of God’s goodness. The glory of God is on display as we see how all three Persons of the Godhead are involved in the work of salvation. In love, God the Father initiated the work of salvation; God the Son accomplished salvation; and God the Spirit applies salvation to the heart of those who are saved.

The relationship between Christ’s church and human governments has always been a sensitive issue for most Christians. While Scripture is clear on what that relationship is to look like, it leaves us asking a lot of related questions. In this sermon we’ll explore the biblical and historical context for Paul’s command to submit to rulers and authorities.

1 Corinthians 13
If the truth of God is the content of ministry and the context is His people, where does love for one another come in? According to Paul, it is the necessary foundation for all ministry, for without it we are nothing.

We must be intentional in passing the baton of biblical womanhood from one generation to the next. In this passage, Paul instructs older women to do just that by training younger women how to be wives and mothers.
