Jesus came in poverty that we might be rich. In fact, according to the prophecies of Isaiah, He came as a servant. In this message, Pastor Lutzer considers Christ as our model of sacrificial servanthood, because we are called to be servants. We're not asked to do anything that He has not already experienced.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. That’s Matthew five, fourteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It’s no secret that we live in a fallen, darkened world. Many have grown comfortable in that darkness. What can we do to help? Ron dives into the subject next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From the Sermon on the Mount.” 

There’s something attractive about “new and exciting.” But does that mean we have to be careful about how we regard the “unchanging” Word of God? We’ll look at that question in this study.

2 Tim 3:10-17

Here is the foundational promise of God, fulfilled in Jesus and the gospel. It all comes from God and his initiative. Abraham is the recipient, as we are recipients in Christ. This blessing is meant to go to the world—and so our missionary mandate is found here. The folly of Abraham here reminds us that the blessing rests on grace and not merit.
