Born A Sovereign, the child of Isaiah 9:6 comes as humanity's perfect King, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies of the Davidic ruler. Jim Osman examines how Christ was Born A Sovereign, uniting full humanity with complete deity in one person who knows our frailties yet possesses divine authority. This King was Born A Sovereign to establish an everlasting kingdom characterized by peace, justice, and righteousness.

Isaiah declares the government rests upon His shoulders as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace. Born A Sovereign from David's line, Christ will rule from Jerusalem, crushing rebellion while blessing His people with unprecedented prosperity and security. The kingdom increases without end, secured not by human effort but by the zeal of Yahweh of Hosts. Therefore, believers can rejoice with confident gladness because Christ was Born A Sovereign who came first to redeem sinners and returns to reign forever, giving His people the kingdom that the Father delights to bestow.

Jim Osman expounds Isaiah's prophecy of a virgin bearing a son, revealing God's plan for the Messiah's incarnation. Isaiah 7:14 describes a virgin bearing a son named Immanuel, fulfilled 750 years later when Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit. This virgin bearing a son demonstrates Christ's true humanity united with deity—two distinct natures in one person. Without ceasing to be fully God, the eternal Son became something He had never been: flesh, veiling His glory to dwell among us as the virgin bearing a son, accomplished redemption.

Jim Osman expounds Psalm 100's call to give joyful thanks to Yahweh through robust, enthusiastic worship. Believers offer joyful thanks to Yahweh because He created us and redeemed us as sheep of His pasture. This joyful thanks to Yahweh flows from meditating on His works and nature—His goodness, loving-kindness, and faithfulness enduring forever. We enter His gates offering joyful thanks to Yahweh, welcomed from pasture to palace, serving Him by blessing His name and proclaiming His unchanging mercy.

Jim Osman exposes the greed and exploitation of false teachers who use plastic words to merchandise believers. These deceivers appeal to covetousness while masking sensual desires and avarice behind fabricated doctrines. The greed and exploitation of false teachers manifest through fraudulent ministries that prey on vulnerable souls, promising prosperity while extracting wealth. Peter warns that certain judgment awaits these false teachers who exploit others through greed, making contentment the essential defense against their deceptive schemes and plastic words.

Jim Osman examines the seduction and lust of false teachers through 2 Peter 2:1-3, warning believers against dangerous deceptions. False teachers operate in a symbiotic relationship with followers who desire teachings that justify their lusts, while teachers gain platforms, money, and power. Peter warns that many will follow their sensuality, thereby maligning the way of truth. These unbelievers are driven by unrestrained immorality, marked by sensuality throughout Scripture.

The Charismatic movement provides the largest environment where such teachers flourish, promoting unbridled emotionalism and doctrinal looseness. The antidote requires believers to live above reproach, making the gospel convincing through transformed lives rather than bringing reproach upon Christ's name.

Jim Osman examines false teachers through an exposition of 2 Peter 2:1-3, warning believers against three critical dangers. False teachers secretly introduce destructive heresies into the church, not announcing their deception but creeping in quietly while using Christian language and claiming orthodox beliefs. These false teachers promote destructive doctrines that damn unbelievers and render Christians useless and unfruitful. Their depraved desires are marked by sensuality, and their deserved doom brings swift destruction upon them.

Believers must beware lest they be deceived by their teachings, seduced by their lusts, or exploited by their greed. The sermon emphasizes that sound doctrine and godly character must go together, as false teachers lack both biblical authority and moral integrity, thereby exerting a destructive influence.

Peter warns believers that false teachers among you will secretly introduce destructive heresies into the church. Jim Osman introduces 2 Peter 2:1-3, explaining how this chapter connects with Peter's teaching on Scripture's sufficiency in chapter 1 and the apostolic witness in chapter 3. Throughout Israel's history, false prophets arose among God's people, leading them astray from the truth. Similarly, false teachers among you will deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their sensuality, thereby maligning the way of truth. In their greed, these deceivers will exploit believers with false words. Peter uses Scripture's harshest language to describe false teachers among you because their deceptive doctrines, depraved desires, and deserved doom pose the greatest threat to Christ's church. Believers must remain vigilant, identifying false teachers among you by examining their teaching, character, and the judgment Scripture promises them.

Jim Osman examines four Reformation gospel truths essential for understanding God's glorious grace in Ephesians 2:1-10. These biblical truths expose the fundamental divide between Protestant and Catholic theology. First, man is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, enslaved to the world, Satan, and fleshly lusts, unable to please God or work toward salvation. Second, God demonstrates His rich mercy by making spiritually dead sinners alive in Christ through sovereign grace. Third, salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone, not by works, leaving no room for human boasting. Fourth, good works follow salvation as evidence, not as a means of earning favor with God.
