English Sermon: Crown Him Lord of All

Crown Him Lord of All

...until I make your enemies your footstool.”

Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.
— Acts 2:35-36 (ESV)
The Lord says to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
— Psalm 110:1 (ESV)
For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?

and he shall be to me a son?

Sunday Sermon: Do Not Faint In The Days of Adversity

Do Not Faint In The Days of Adversity

If you faint in the day of adversity,
your strength is small.
Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man according to his work?
— Proverbs 24:10-12 (ESV)
Behold, you have instructed many,
and you have strengthened the weak hands.
Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
and you have made firm the feeble knees.
But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
it touches you, and you are dismayed.
Is not your fear of God[a] your confidence,
and the integrity of your ways your hope?
“Remember: who that was innocent ever perished?
Or where were the upright cut off?
— Job 4:3-7 (ESV)

English Sermon: O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?

O death, where is thy sting?

Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
— Acts 2:30-32 (KJV)
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
— 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 (KJV)

Sunday Sermon: Fear Not

Fear Not

Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
— Isaiah 40:10 (ESV)
  1. Fear Not: It Is The Plan of God

  2. Fear Not: It is The Power of God

  3. Fear Not: We Have The Peace of God

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
— Matthew 1:18-21 (ESV)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
— John 14:27 (ESV)
For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
— Ephesians 2:14 (ESV)

English Sermon: Hope In Jesus

Hope In Jesus

Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. For David says concerning him,

“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;

therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell in hope.
— Acts 2:22-26 (ESV)
