Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.When Elizabeth greeted Mary in Luke 1:43, she recognized the unborn Jesus as Lord before He had performed a single miracle, preached a sermon, or completed His earthly ministry.
- 2.Jesus Christ is the co-eternal Son of God who actively created all things, sustains the universe, and existed before time began.
- 3.Throughout the Old Testament, the Son of God repeatedly appeared to His people—including eating with Abraham, wrestling with Jacob, and standing in the fiery furnace.
- 4.The Old Testament promised a New Covenant where God writes His law directly on human hearts, bringing inside-out transformation rather than external rule-keeping.
- 5.The Messiah came to establish the kingdom of God through redemptive, life-affirming acts—healing the broken, setting captives free, and comforting those who mourn.
- 6.Believers function as the body of Christ today when they tangibly extend His compassion and presence to those in darkness and distress.
- 7.Jesus willingly allowed the very creation He spoke into existence and held together by His power to torture and execute Him to bear human sin.
Sermon Moments
“Elizabeth called Jesus 'Lord' while He was still in the womb, surrendering to His lordship before He had performed any miracles or ministry.”
“The Son of God held together the very people and materials used to torture and crucify Him, willingly enduring death out of love for His creation.”
“Anxiety serves as a check engine light revealing where we are trying to rule rather than yielding to Christ's lordship.”
“Some people have just enough of Jesus to not have Him at all, settling for avoiding hell rather than walking in intimate relationship with Him.”
“Having a sermon resonate with you is not obedience; true obedience means actually surrendering control to Jesus.”
“Surrendering our own 'baptized' plans to God's direction leads to far greater joy and fruitfulness than living life our own way.”
