Over the course of eight weeks, Pastoral Assistant and Intern Steven Tavel will lead us in exploring one of the most beautiful and foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. Covenant theology is not merely a theological system; it is the way the Scriptures teach us about God's gracious relationship with His people. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals one unfolding plan of redemption centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Severn Run Evangelical Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), devoted to the pursuit of Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and worship as we seek to faithfully reach our community for Christ.

There is this perception of what is valued by humanity is more important than and what iJesus values for eternity, this church had no room for Jesus. You can never be to small for God to use. What's important to you?

The sermon explores the sovereignty of God by examining the throne room vision in Revelation 4, contrasting human political structures with divine authority. It argues that only God is worthy to hold the offices of judge, protector, and ruler because He perfectly balances justice and mercy, symbolized by the red and white stones of His appearance. The text highlights how God exercises judicial wisdom, provides redemption through the Holy Spirit, and rules over all earthly and heavenly powers through angelic hosts. Ultimately, the preacher asserts that true worship arises from recognizing God's exclusive worthiness to rule both the universe and the human conscience. This recognition leads to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is the only King capable of fulfilling these roles with absolute perfection.

The sermon explores the theological significance of Jesus being stripped of his garments during the crucifixion as recorded in Matthew 27. It connects this event to the biblical theme of clothing, tracing it from the shame of nakedness in Genesis to the spiritual nakedness described in Revelation. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus endured humiliation and shame as a substitute for sinners, allowing himself to be stripped so that believers might be clothed with righteousness. By fulfilling Psalm 22, the text demonstrates God's sovereign control over history and the precise fulfillment of prophecy at Calvary. The message concludes by contrasting Jesus' temporary shame on the cross with his eternal glory and victory in resurrection.
