Sermon: "Jesus, Our Everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6)

As we continue our look into how Jesus is described in Isaiah 9:6, we are told that He is the Everlasting Father.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)

But, what does that mean? How can Jesus be God the Son and yet also be the Everlasting Father? And what comfort and instruction can we receive from our knowledge of Jesus' Fatherhood?

This sermon seeks to answer these questions by exalting Jesus and showing how we can respond.

Sermon: "Helping Others Toward Holiness" (Matthew 7:1-6)

We have all heard Matthew 7:1 recited: "Judge not that you be not judged!" Even many non-believers know those words and periodically speak them. 

Unfortunately, that verse is often misused to state that if I'm in sin you have no right to point it out. It is remarkable that the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:1-6 actually mean the very opposite.

If we truly care about others and their pursuit of holiness ("without which no one will see the Lord" [Hebrews 12:14]) will will speak into each others' lives when we see sin. In Matthew 7:1-6, Jesus tells us how to do that.
