Jesus Saved You By Not Saving Himself

March 24, 2024

The cross of Christ “is honor, yet it is shame. It is wisdom, but also foolishness. It is both gain and loss; both pardon and condemnation; both strength and weakness; both joy and sorrow … It is grace, yet it is righteousness; it is law, yet it is deliverance from law; it is Christ’s humiliation, yet it is Christ’s exaltation” (Horatius Bonar). When we embrace the power and love of Jesus Christ to stay on His cross, choosing not to save Himself but instead to save us, He makes everything right. The amazing life-changing irony of the cross!

Everything Depends Upon the Blessing of God

October 13, 2024 • Kyle Mills • Psalm 127

Psalm 127 answers four questions for the believer: It answers the question, why does my building seem to be in vain? It answers the question, why doesn't it seem like God watches over our nation? It answers the question, how can I have freedom from my anxiety? It answers the question, why does it seem God hasn't established my family? And the answer comes at the pinnacle of the Psalm, in the very center of this poetic song in verse 2: "for he gives to his beloved sleep". God gives. He gives sleep. He gives rest. He gives peace. He gives fulfillment. He gives freedom from anxiety. He gives freedom from worry. When it doesn't seem like things are going my way, and I get caught up in the hamster-wheel-of-worry, the solution is the very presence of God in my life. This is the simple but profound truth that we often forget. God's presence is the spiritual balm to my tired and weary soul. And complete dependence upon Him in all of life leads to true rest.

August 4, 2024 • Brett Rayl • Hebrews 2:11

The gospel completely saves us from shame which flows from the Fall and presence of sin in the world. One of the most beautiful announcements of this is found in Hebrews 2:11, “For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers..."
