The Joy of the King

December 21, 2025
“Joy to the World” is one of the most familiar Christmas carols we sing, but few stop to consider what we are actually declaring. Written as a meditation on Psalm 98, it is a bold announcement that the King has come, salvation has been accomplished, and the world is being restored. In this sermon from Psalm 98, we see why joy is commanded—not because life is easy, but because God has acted. The Lord has revealed His salvation, the redeemed are called to respond with praise, and even creation itself rejoices because the righteous King is coming to set all things right. Jesus Christ has entered a cursed world, borne the curse at the cross, and risen in victory, guaranteeing that sin, sorrow, and death will not have the final word.

The Coming of the King

December 14, 2025
In Psalm 40:6–8, David speaks of a servant who delights to do God’s will, not merely offering sacrifices but giving wholehearted obedience. Yet David himself could never fully live up to those words. In Hebrews 10, the Holy Spirit reveals their true fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The One who entered the world saying, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” This sermon traces the movement from Psalm 40 to Hebrews 10, showing how Christ came not only to die for our sins, but to live the perfectly obedient life we could never live. Through His active obedience and His once-for-all sacrificial death, Jesus provides everything God requires for our salvation. Christmas, then, is the beginning of Christ’s mission of obedience. Obedience that leads from the cradle to the cross, and from the cross to a finished work that secures forgiveness, righteousness, and peace with God for all who trust in Him.

The Reign of the King

December 7, 2025
Psalm 2 pulls back the curtain on the world we live in. Nations rage, rulers plot, and humanity lifts its fist in rebellion against God, yet heaven is not shaken. God laughs, not out of mockery but out of absolute confidence, because He has already installed His King on Zion. This sermon walks through Psalm 2 as it points us forward to the ultimate Son, Jesus Christ. We see the folly of resisting His rule, the certainty of His victory, and the grace-filled invitation offered to every sinner: “Kiss the Son… take refuge in Him.” Psalm 2 shows us a Christ who is not soft, sentimental, or optional, but a reigning, conquering King—crucified, risen, and returning in judgment. And yet this same King offers salvation to all who bow in faith. In a world filled with chaos and defiance, Psalm 2 calls us to steadiness, confidence, and obedience, because the King reigns, His kingdom cannot fail, and true blessing is found only in surrendering to Him.
