Revelation
Breaking the Seals
Revelation 6. We saw last week, the lion of Judah comes forward to take the scroll. To our great surprise, we find that the lion is a lamb, and he alone is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll. God’s redemptive plan for the world, sealed inside, is now released because of Jesus. We look to the reading of God’s word if you join with me in prayer.…
The Diverse Excellencies of Christ
I’ve taken the title of the sermon from Jonathan Edwards, who in 1738, he wrote, There’s an admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies in Jesus Christ. It’s quite a mouthful.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ
This morning, we start a new series in the Book of Revelation. In the outset, we see that Jesus is both the one who reveals and he is that which is revealed. As we look to the reading of God’s word, if you please join with me in prayer. Most gracious God, our heavenly Father, in you alone, well all the fullness of light and wisdom. We ask then that you would…
