Today, we look at the Lord's Table as an expression of God's love, urging attendees to view participation not as a duty but as a joyous privilege rooted in Christ's sacrifice. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, the message highlights the table's significance as a reminder of Christ's atoning work, His future return, communion with Christ, and unity within the body of believers. It calls for a love-centered approach, emphasizing that true discipleship is demonstrated through mutual love and a recognition of the table as a place of nourishment, blessing, and a testament to Christ's redemptive grace.

Today's message is Isaiah's burden against Moab, framing it within a broader narrative of divine sovereignty and judgment over nations. Moab must fall due to its wickedness, its rejection of God, and its betrayal of its kinsman relationship to Israel.

The sermon contrasts the futility of Philistia's human plotting against the sovereignty of God. Isaiah says that earthly powers, though seemingly formidable, are ultimately subject to God's plan. Likewise, God's people will find refuge and safety in Him.

Continuing through Isaiah 14, we see God announce His great sovereignty. How can Judah know that the promises of God shall stand? Because there is no person, nation, or force that can thwart God's decrees. It is this truth that will always comfort God's people!

Returning to the oracle concerning Babylon, God has Isaiah focuses upon the King of Babylon. This King imagines himself to be like the Most High, but God will humble him. In this way, the King of Babylon is a type of the ultimate rebel, who is cast down and awaiting certain judgment.

Returning to the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, we see the beginning of a series of messages concerning the nations. Isaiah speaks of the pride of Babylon and how the Lord shall surely bring her low. In this way, Babylon will be a preview of what will come to pass on the Day of the Lord.

Returning to the Psalms, we come to an exposition of Psalm 4. This Psalm of Davis is said to have been written (as was Psalm 3) about David's trouble during the uprising of Absalom. Psalm 4 reminds us that our hope and peace are found in the Lord. Even in a time of crisis, David can sleep for he knows that he rests in God's almighty hand.

Concluding our series in Philemon, we look at Paul's closing words in this letter, as well as the strong presentation of providence that is found throughout the Epistle's twenty-five verses.

Continuing into the heart of Paul's Epistle to Philemon, we see that Paul is requesting that grace be shown to Onesimus. This request calls for Philemon to recognize the goodness and grace of God at work in this situation by the transformative power of the Gospel.

Beginning our short journey through Paul's Letter to Philemon, we want to focus on the background and greeting of this letter of grace. Here, Paul greets a friend and fellow laborer in the Gospel, preparing to ask him to do something fitting in the Lord. It would seem that Paul is confident that Philemon will answer positively based on Philemon's history of gracious acts in service to Christ and his people.
