Yesterday's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:

The tax collector prayed, “God, be merciful to me a sinner” and went home justified, or declared righteous (Luke 18:13). How do we explain this when he didn’t offer any sacrifices? He offered what God wanted: “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart” (Psalm 51:16-17).

Exodus 12 and Luke 23 connect in a powerful way: Jesus the Passover Lamb is examined publicly and declared innocent—yet still punished so the guilty can go free. This message highlights the necessity of a spotless substitute and the sobering reality that affirming truth about Jesus isn’t the same as saving faith.

Sermon:
The humility of Christ is one of the most astonishing truths in all of Scripture.
Though Jesus is fully God, He did not come into the world displaying royal splendor. He was born in poverty, raised in obscurity, rejected by His own people, mocked as a king, and crucified on a cross—yet He never stopped being King.
In this message from Philippians 2, I explore what Scripture teaches about Christ’s humility, the Incarnation, and why Jesus laid aside His visible glory without surrendering His deity or authority.
