This Advent sermon focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God's eternal Word and sovereign plan. The pastor emphasizes that Christmas is fundamentally about God meeting humanity's greatest need—salvation—by sending a Savior rather than a reformer, judge, or soldier. The message challenges believers to reorient their imagination around God's sovereignty and power, recognizing that He orchestrates human affairs to accomplish His purposes. Central to the sermon is the principle that Christians must "believe first, see second"—a counter-cultural stance that calls believers to trust God's Word before seeing evidence. The pastor urges the congregation to slow down during the Christmas season and huddle around the Christ child, gazing upon the profound mystery of God's love demonstrated through the incarnation, rather than being distracted by the cultural trappings of the holiday.

This sermon explores how God uses both provision and warning from the Exodus story to teach Christians about faith and dependence on Him. The message emphasizes that God doesn't just calm storms—He sometimes creates them to rescue believers from self-reliance. Drawing parallels between Old Testament Israel and New Testament believers, the message challenges the congregation to trust God for daily provision rather than seeking false security through self-sufficiency. The sermon confronts the modern Christian tendency to expect an "easy" faith journey, reminding believers that spiritual warfare and resistance are evidence of God's presence and anointing, not His absence. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to rely completely on God's provision and timing rather than attempting to control circumstances or secure their own futures.

This sermon explores Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 8 about the tension between Christian knowledge and Christian love. Pastor Luke addresses how the Corinthian church struggled between legalism and libertinism, emphasizing that knowledge without love indicates a lack of true understanding. The message centers on agape love—God's unconditional, divine love demonstrated through Jesus Christ—as the foundation for how Christians should exercise their freedom. Rather than asserting our rights, believers are called to sacrificially love others by considering how our actions might affect weaker brothers and sisters in faith. The sermon challenges the modern tendency toward idolatry, not just of physical objects but of approval, control, comfort, and security, reminding the congregation that true security and identity are found only in God's presence.
