"There is but one only, living, and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions; immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute..." —Westminster Confession of Faith, 2:1

Today's sermon from Pitt RUF campus minister Gavin Breeden.

"All the wonder of God happens right above our arithmetic and formula. The more I climb outside my pat answers, the more invigorating the view, the more my heart enters into worship... By reducing Christian spirituality to formula, we deprive our hearts of wonder." —Donald Miller

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." —John 3:16

"He is man as man was meant to be... Through his victory over death, the one true man—who is also the one true Son of God—brings the heavenly life of the resurrection to earth, and we who are in Christ shall also bear the image of the man from heaven." —Michael D. Williams

Does this quote work? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." —Jimi Hendrix

"Christ is the better high priest since he, being sinless (Heb. 4:15; 9:14), did not have to offer sacrifice for himself (Heb. 7:27), and he holds his priesthood permanently (Heb. 7:23). As the better high priest, Christ provides a better hope 'by which we draw near to God' (Heb. 7:19), a better covenant (Heb. 7:22; 9:15) based better promises (Heb. 8:6), and a better sacrifice (Heb. 9:23)." —Michael D. William

The first sermon from our series on the roles of the coming Christ during this Advent season.

"As the book's concluding word... David sounded the triumph of God's providence over the vicissitudes suffered by the names listed. Considering Judah's irresponsibility (Gen. 38), the perilous intervening centuries, and Ruth's earlier infertility (1:4-5), that David was born at all amply attested the presence of that providence. Further, given Saul's cruel vengeance (1 Sam. 18-28), David's ascent to power provided weighty corroborating evidence. God is, indeed, King!" —Robert L. Hubbard Jr.
