Christ Church of Mt Airy Sermons

God is showing us how He works! He accomplishes His plans using His people, power, and perfect process. We can trust that God’s plans always succeed at maximizing His glory and our good.

God explains His name to Moses in steps. (1) "I Am" the eternal and absolute sovereign of the universe (2) "I Am" transcendent AND near to people. (3) "I Am" the LORD forever. Remember and proclaim it.

God reveals Himself to Moses in the form of a burning bush and gives him a mission and the promise needed to accomplish it. Through this encounter we learn about God’s perfect timing, supreme holiness, mercy, and presence—always with us. We also learn how the same promise that enabled Moses’ mission, also enables ours today.

What does it mean to be a Christian? Is it about behavior, political stances or moral status? Paul’s letter to the Philippians makes it clear that being a Christian means you have had an authentic encounter with the risen Christ, that your heart has been changed by the resurrected Jesus. A Christian Counts every Good Work As Loss, Counts Knowing Christ as Everything, Received Righteousness By Faith, Needs Jesus’ Resurrection Power and Is Aiming For Resurrection From the Dead.

Moses foreshadows the rejection of Jesus' salvation offer. God wants to deliver us, and yet without God's own intervention we will reject Him. God is the hero at work in our lives to rescue us!

God shows His love through His plan to save us at the right time by the substitutionary death of Jesus. The more the gift cost the giver and the less the recipient deserves it, the greater the love is seen to be. God poured out His wrath on His only Son so that you and I could be saved.

God is with you and is active in your world. God prepares you today, as he did in the past, for the trials ahead by promising He will be with you. Even as God works in your waiting, He hears you, remembers you, sees you, and knows you.

Is our relationship with God transactional? Is God's blessing dependent on our obedience? Yes, God has always required perfect obedience for blessing. Jesus Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us by hanging on the tree. The blessings of God come to all His people through the perfect obedience of Jesus.

Pharaoh ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill all newborn Israelite boys. But they feared God more than Pharaoh and spared the babies lives. Their fear honored God because He is the most powerful and most worthy; He is most able to protect and satisfy our souls.

God takes the Israelites as His chosen people. God sees His people in their affliction. For you, too, God strengthens your faith and is faithful to make His blessing abound in hardship and suffering.
