In today's Advent series installment, Andrew preaches John 3:17-21 to show that there is no way but redemption. No human-centered religion, work, or ritual can get anyone into heaven. Church is not about behavior modification or earning anything from God.

In the second part of our Advent series for 2021, Andrew preaches from Revelation 21 and shows that there is no kingdom but heaven. Revelation 21 is John''s description of the church of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 2 is a royal psalm used by Davidic kings as a celebration at coronations. It teaches the authority and sonship of the anointed kings of Israel and very powerfully prophesies of the coming King Jesus and his endless reign over the earth on the throne of David. Joyfully celebrate with us as we anticipate the arrival of the Kingdom Jesus brought.
