For the Christian, life is not just about celebrating waiting Jesus has done, but looking forward to His return (1 Thess 1:10, Phil 3:20). But who is the Jesus we are waiting for, and why should we be so excited about Him coming back? This sermon looks at the living Christ in Revelation 1:5-7, which provides a glorious and beautiful view of Christ that is meant to increase our affections for Him and bolster our faithfulness to Him.
The Christian life is not something to take lightly. The author of Hebrew describes it as a race to be run with much effort and endurance. This session describes what the Christian’s race of faith looks like practically, exhorting those who have put faith in Christ to run hard and run well with their eyes fixed on Him.
Many people claim to be followers of Jesus, but He Himself is the one who defines who His true followers are. Jesus claims that following Him is costly. This session covers what it really means to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow after Him.
