This Word affirms that Christian labor is never in vain when done in the Lord. Work in His Holy Spirit gains eternal significance. The word Labor ( believing, praying etc. ) is used. We know that whatever we do we do it by faith through Jesus our Christ to our Fathers Glory.

Daniel chapter two presents a powerful contrast between earthly kingship and Gods rule and authority over all. King Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dreams reveal Gods plan and purposes which are beyond mankinds control. When the king's wise men fail to interpret his vision, Daniel, through prayer and GOD given revelation, boldly declares that only the GOD of heaven can unveil mysteries, including the ones about Jesus the Christ, revealing a prophetic vision of successive world empires—gold, silver, bronze, and iron—each temporary and destined to be shattered by a divine stone that becomes a mountain filling the earth. This stone symbolizes the eternal rule of Jesus Christ, whose rule surpasses all mankinds powers and fulfills God's redemptive plan in and through the death for our sins, being buried and rising the third day of Jesus our Christ ( 1st Corinthians 15:3 & 4 ). The sermon emphasizes that God alone governs history. He calls His people to prioritize spreading the Gospeland empowers believers to proclaim 1

Daniel 1:1–21 ESV [1] In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. [2] And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god. [3] Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, [4] youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king's palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. [5] The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. [6] Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the

The sermon centers on the profound act of 'beholding' the Savior during Advent, emphasizing that true spiritual perception involves more than sight—it is a holistic, transformative engagement with the divine reality of Christ's incarnation. Drawing from Luke 2, it highlights how God's redemptive promise, first given in Eden and progressively revealed through Scripture, culminates in the humble birth of Jesus in Bethlehem—a moment announced not to the powerful, but to lowly shepherds, underscoring God's sovereign choice to reveal Himself in unexpected, vulnerable ways. The shepherds' response—hasty, reverent, and worshipful—models the believer's proper posture: seeking, sharing, and glorifying God not out of obligation, but from awe and gratitude. The message challenges believers to move beyond ritualized observance, rekindling wonder and personal devotion by meditating on the gospel's depth, sharing their faith with authenticity, and allowing the reality of Christ's presence to inspire genuine worship.

The sermon centers on the wise men's journey to worship the newborn King, emphasizing that their pursuit of Christ was guided by divine revelation, ancient prophecy, and the wisdom of Scripture, not mere astrology. Though foreign and initially distant from Israel's covenant, they were drawn by a celestial sign rooted in Old Testament promises—particularly those of Daniel and Balaam—demonstrating God's global plan to reveal His Messiah to the nations. Their journey highlights three crucial truths: the necessity of Scripture to interpret divine signs, the spiritual apathy of Jerusalem despite knowing the prophecy, and the presence of opposition in the form of Herod, who sought to destroy the child. Ultimately, the wise men's worship of Jesus—offering gold, frankincense, and myrrh—reveals a profound faith that transcended cultural and religious boundaries, pointing to Christ's kingship, divinity, and sacrificial death. The sermon concludes with a call to personal response: while the wise men sought Christ, God H

Fellowship of Believers is essential for Life in Christ Jesus our Lord! Published Nov 2, 2025, 03:06 pm

This sermon, rooted in 1 Peter 2:1–10 and framed by Reformation principles, affirms that every believer is part of a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a chosen people called to proclaim God's excellencies. It emphasizes that the priesthood of all believers—recovered during the Reformation—dismantles the medieval hierarchy by affirming that Christ alone is the ultimate priest and mediator, making direct access to God possible for every believer without clerical intermediaries. The sermon highlights that this spiritual priesthood is not a call to individualism but to shared ministry, where all Christians, through worship, service, and everyday vocations, offer spiritual sacrifices of praise and live as living stones in a spiritual house. By reclaiming the biblical vision of the church as a community of priests, the message calls for a revival of purpose, unity, and active participation in God's mission, transforming every believer into a witness of grace and a servant in the world.

This sermon, rooted in First Corinthians 11, presents the Lord's Supper not merely as a ritual but as a profound act of vertical and horizontal communion—between believers and God, and among believers as members of Christ's body. It calls for a serious spiritual examination: are we truly Christians, have we embraced the gospel of Christ's atoning death, and do we approach the table with reverence, humility, and joy? The central warning is not about ritualistic errors, but about the danger of self-centeredness and division, which distort the meaning of the meal. Paul insists that partaking unworthily—without discerning the body—leads to judgment, because the table is meant to reflect the unity, equality, and mutual care of the church, where no one is to be despised or marginalized. The sermon urges the congregation to see the Lord's Supper as a continual proclamation of Christ's death until His return, a moment that both humbles and unites believers, calling them to love one another as Christ has loved them.
