Jesus fulfills the law of God for us, through his life, death, and resurrection. When we come to God’s mountain, Jesus is our way to God, and to his everlasting party in heaven.

Jesus refuses to rubber stamp the peace of humanity because our peace does not hold up to God’s standards, to his desire for all people to flourish in his love and forgiveness. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus brings judgement to our world that ultimately will bring about lasting peace through his grace.

In God’s goodness, he gives us a kingdom where he lays down his life in order to serve us. Through Jesus Christ’s incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, God builds a kingdom where even the lowest and the least are cared for.

In this sermon, the Reverend Jacob Smith shares about the grace of prayer.

Paul writes in all caps to defend the gospel of pure grace. Both the world and our own hearts desire an identity based on scorekeeping, but this only leads to division and competition. The grace flowing from the cross of Christ gifts us a new identity, raising us all to share in Christ’s identity. This grace turns our eyes from the scoreboard to our neighbors, producing love, compassion, and restoration. Rest fully in your forgiveness, leaving failures and successes behind. Let your identity stand firm on the cross alone—all other ground is sinking sand.

Jesus tells us that we don’t have what it takes to follow him. But the good news is that he does have what it takes to save us.
