On Maundy Thursday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Jesus' new law for his disciples, his washing of their feet, and the institution of the Lord's Supper. Our love is animated by and founded on Christ's love: his shedding of blood for us.
On Palm Sunday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Jesus' triumphal entry and trial and execution. Jesus entered Jerusalem as a king, but one who would wear a crown of thorns.
The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his study of the book of Acts with a look at the beginning of Paul's second missionary journey. The delegates to the Jerusalem council report to Antioch (15:30-35) before Paul and Barnabas go their separate ways (15:36-41). Then, Timothy joins the group (16:1-5) and they are told by God to go to Macedonia (16:6-10). Coming to Philippi, the missionaries come upon a group of Jewish widows at the riverside (16:11-13).
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on John 12, in which Mary of Bethany anoints Jesus. The Son of God has come to die, but will be resurrected for our salvation.
The Rev. Dr. Michael Nicholson continues his class on the book of Revelation with a study of chapter 19. Here, an Hallelujah chorus goes up as Satan meets his doom and Jesus rides in on a white horse to vanquish the antichrist.
The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his study of the book of Acts with a look at chapter 15. A conflict arises in Antioch about circumcision (v. 1-3), Peter and Paul make the Gospel case to the gathered church in Jerusalem (v. 4-12), and James weighs the biblical evidence and renders a verdict (v. 13-21). Finally, the church in Jerusalem writes a letter to the churches of Galatia explaining their decision: Gentiles do not have to follow the law of Moses to be saved (v. 22-29).
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 15, in which Jesus tells a parable about two sons, each seeking to justify himself. Jesus, himself, though, is the one who justifies, making everything right between us and God for good and forever.
The Rev. Dr. Michael Nicholson continues his class on the book of Revelation with a look at chapter 18. John’s vision of Babylon's fall expresses the final fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. The vision depicts not the literal destruction of an actual future city, but rather the final judgement and destruction of the world of self-love and worldly pursuits.
The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his study of Acts with a look at chapter 14. Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium (v.1-7), heal a lame man in Lystra (v.8-10), and correct some pagans who seek to worship them as gods (v.11-18). The crowds are eventually persuaded to stone Paul (v.19), but Paul picks himself up, returns to the churches he's planted, and ends his first missionary journey back in Antioch (v.20-28).
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 13, in which Jesus tells the people to repent, using a parable of a fruitless fig tree. There is still time; turn to the one who can save you: Jesus Christ.
