Trinity of Woodbridge Sermon-2-26-20: Caiaphas: It is better that one man die for the people

The Sermon for Wednesday, February 26, 2020, is based on John 11:49-53

 

This evening’s focus: Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the Christian’s 40-day journey with the Lord to the cross and tomb, preparing for the proclamation of Easter. In the Bible, “sackcloth and ashes” were often worn to signify deep mourning or repentance. On this evening, we remember our deep need for repentance and turn in humility to God in repentance. We look to him alone for forgiveness.

February 23, 2020 - Alone Time with Jesus

The Sermon for Sunday, February 23, 2020, is based on Matthew 17:1-9

 

Today's Focus: Jesus appears in glory as the son of God. The Epiphany season is bookended by the voice of God the Father proclaiming Jesus his Son. Before he suffered as man’s substitute, Jesus gave the Church a glimpse of the glory that he set aside to be our Savior. See how much he loves us! The God of Mount Sinai, the Majestic Glory, became a man to suffer and die for us, just as Moses and the Prophets foretold. It’s good that we are here.

February 16, 2020 - Real Wisdom

The Sermon for Sunday, February 16, 2020, is based on 1 Corinthians 2:6-13

Today's Focus: The Savior's Sermon: Live a holy life!  Jesus came to free us from sin.  He did not come to free us to sin.  The commands in the lessons today (Deuteronomy 30:15-20, 1 Corinthians 2:6-13 and Matthew 5:21-37) remind us just how holy our God is, and their dire warnings remind us just how holy he wants us to be.  After examining our lives, we must despair, but the Verse of the Day reminds us to flee to Christ who has the words of life. Then the Prayer of the Day asks that we might be given the grace to both know and do what pleases him.

January 26, 2020 - A Divided Church: An Oxymoron

The Sermon for Sunday, January 26, 2020, is based on 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Today's Focus: Jesus appears as the light that shines in the darkness.  Dark places covered in the shadow of sin and unbelief.  Now there are, however, bright places, too, and there you find God's children.  Jesus shines his light by preaching repentance and the good news of the nearing kingdom, and he invited us to follow him to a life illumined by him.  Following him means living in the joy of freedom and walking in the light of love for God and brother.

January 5, 2020 - Star Trek - Episode 1

The Sermon for Sunday, January 5, 2020, is based on Matthew 2:1-12

Today's Focus: Jesus appears as Savior of the Nations.  The Church remembers January 6th as the Twelfth Day which closes the Christmas season.  The Festival of the Epiphany of our Lord is the second oldest festival celebrated by the Church, dating to the second century.  The eastern Church commemorates the birth of Christ on this day, but the Western Church remembers it as the "Gentile Christmas" and celebrates Jesus who appeared as the Word for the world.

Sermon - December 29, 2019 - When the Time Was Just Right

The Sermon for Sunday, December 29, 2019, is based on Galatians 4:4

 

Today's Focus: God cares for his sons.  He cared for his son, the nation of Israel-though they were rebellious.  He cared for his Son Jesus-though Herod raged against him.  He even cares for his newly adopted sons-though we do not deserve it.  God cared for us by sending his Son to deliver us from the corruption of sin and transform us into sons just like Jesus.  That work of Christ gives us peace that only sons can have.

Sermon - December 22, 2019 - Breaking News

The Sermon for Sunday, December 22, 2019, is based on Romans 1:1-7

 

Today's Focus: In the Bible, names often have special meaning.  In the book of Isaiah, the prophet foretold that the coming Messiah would be named "Immanuel."  That name means "God is with us."  How meaningful! It describes perfectly what we find in Bethlehem's manger: God, wrapped in flesh, that he might dwell with us in our home.  And because of what Immanuel did in his death and resurrection, we can joyfully look forward to the day when we will go to dwell with him in his home.

The Sermon for Sunday, December 15, 2019, is based on James 5:7-11

 

Today's Focus: Rejoice!  Jesus comes for you!  The third Sunday of Advent, marked by a pink candle in the Advent wreath, is traditionally known as "Gaudete" or "Rejoicing" Sunday.  At this part of the season, we can feel Christmas quickly approaching, therefore our anticipation and rejoicing are raised.  This morning, we will rejoice in Word and song.
