God's Truth, God's Grace - New Port Presbyterian Church

In Luke 2:8-21 we see how the angels brought glory to God. Just as angels were created to give glory to God, so were we. This is possible through Christ's work on the cross which brings to us peace with God. In this message, we are encouraged to recognize God's amazing grace and to go beyond acknowledging the baby in the manger by proclaiming the full work of Jesus Christ in our everyday lives.

This Christmas Eve devotional focuses on Luke 2 and Philippians 2 and calls us to worship our God who shows us the greatest act of humility through the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

In Luke 1:39-56 we see that Mary had a faith that believes, receives, and responds. Pastor Darrell challenges us to magnify the Lord in the same way. 

In Luke 1:26-38 we see that the angel of the Lord speaks and Mary responds in submission by faith. If we are in Christ, we are owned by Him. Bought with the blood of Jesus, we are called to a life of submission. Be encouraged in this sermon to respond and submit to God's Word by faith.

Pastor Darrell points us to the ways we can see God show mercy in Luke 1: 57-80. 

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 1:5-25 and the angel's visitation of Zechariah. Be encouraged to hope in the God who hears and answers prayer.

Luke has been referred to as the Gospel of Certainty. Be encouraged in your faith as we consider that it was written so that we can be certain of our faith.

Pastor Darrell preaches on Romans 9:30-10:4 as we close our time in Exodus. Verse four says, "Christ is the end (telos) of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Jesus Christ is the purpose, focus, goal, and fulfillment of the law. Jesus shows us what it looks like to perfectly fulfill the law because He did perfectly fulfill it, satisfying the law's demands. Be encouraged to put your hope in Christ alone. 

Pastor Darrell preached on Exodus 20:17, the commandment to not covet. God isn't just concerned about our external behavior, but also about our hearts.Be encouraged to look to God for satisfaction instead of things.
