Passage: Luke 19:28-48

-------------------

The significance of the Triumphal Entry to the arguments of the Gospel books is unmistakable in that all four of them take great care to include it in their accounts. It highlights a significant moment of prophetic fulfillment and reveals a great deal about Jesus' character and purpose as the Messiah of God. Luke accomplished this by grouping three unique scenes that help us see Jesus as our true Prophet, Priest, and King.

A Seat At The Table

Series: Stand Alone Sermons

Preacher: Jared Blankenship

Date: 6th April 2025

Passage: 2 Samuel 9:1-13

-------------------

In 2 Samuel 9, we find a very powerful king showing extraordinary kindness to a subject of his kingdom. But in this case, there is no conceivable benefit to motivate the king's act. His kindness was motivated, instead, by covenant love, and this love was lavished not on a faithful friend but on a potential enemy. But why is the story here? It's one of the most amazing pictures of God's kindness in all of the Bible.

A Few Final Words

Series: 1 Thessalonians

Preacher: Jared Blankenship

Date: 30th March 2025

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28

-------------------

You've heard of sermons that consist of three points and a poem. Well, in the final words of 1 Thessalonians, we have three instructions and a blessing. They are simple and straightforward, but they are so very necessary for the church as well.

God Is Faithful; He Will Do It

Series: 1 Thessalonians

Preacher: Jared Blankenship

Date: 23rd March 2025

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

-------------------

If you are a Christian, why do you think you will still be one tomorrow? It's not because you have the willpower to keep going when others fall away. It's not because you've personally reached a point of no return. It's not because you're so spiritually mature and in love with Jesus that you're beyond any temptation to turn back from Him. If you're a Christian, there's only one reason you will remain one tomorrow––because God is faithful to keep you to the very end. Through this amazing benediction, Paul presents us with the faithful God who promises to preserve and purify His people to the very end.

The Spirit's Sanctifying Work

Series: 1 Thessalonians

Preacher: Jared Blankenship

Date: 9th March 2025

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22

-------------------

In this final unit of instruction, Paul turns our attention to the mighty work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian's sanctification. The text affirms that the Spirit is indeed at work in the Church, preparing believers for the glorious return of Christ. It also teaches us that this sanctifying work is one in which we must actively participate, pursuing the purity that He will complete at the end. What we discover here is that we can stifle the Spirit's work in us by treating the various means of that work with contempt. There was a specific way that the Thessalonian Christians were quenching the Spirit's sanctifying work. It all had to do with contempt for the gift of prophecy, a critical means of the Spirit's operation in establishing the Church. So, we are taught in the passage that as we await Christ's return, we must be careful not to quench the Spirit's work by despising the Spirit's ways. At the heart of this text is the most significant and powerful means of the Spirit's mighty work in our lives. If you truly desire to live in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory, you must take this instruction seriously.

The Impossible Made Possible In Christ

Series: 1 Thessalonians

Preacher: Jared Blankenship

Date: 2nd March 2025

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

-------------------

Some commands of the Lord just seem impossible to obey. Who can rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances? This text not only tells us that we must do these things, but it reveals that it is indeed possible for believers to genuinely obey these commands in Christ Jesus.

The Christian's Progress Through The Local Church

Series: 1 Thessalonians

Preacher: Jared Blankenship

Date: 23rd February 2025

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15

-------------------

Believers are to pursue progress in sanctification as they await the return of Christ. Vital to this sanctifying process is the Christian's life in and through the local church. Following faithful leaders and meaningfully engaging in discipling relationships are ordinary means by which God purifies His people until Jesus comes back.
