Current Sermon Series
Sunday, October 5
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.“ (Matt. 11:28)
This invitation is remarkable because it is to all of us from God, who keeps his promises, and it is offered through Jesus, who knows about weariness and burdens.
We return to our study of the Nicene Creed this Sunday. Pastor Rob‘s last sermon explained the second part of this confession of faith, testifying to Christ’s fully divine nature as the eternally begotten Son of God. All that Jesus said and did is proof against other claims that he was “just a great teacher.”
This Sunday, we reflect on the third part of the Nicene Creed: that “… for us, and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.” One implication of this truth is that he wasn’t just a great teacher, he was the great teacher. He spoke as one with authority because he was Emanuel, God among us, truly divine and truly human. His teachings on service, sacrifice, and forgiveness cannot be dismissed by saying “Well that’s easy for him to say, he’s God.” His earthly ministry was far from easy. Jesus experienced disappointment, thirst, sorrow, pain and persecution. But He always was the perfect example of how to practice what he preached.
No matter our situation, we can come to Him, in our private prayers and in worship, trusting that our God understands us and can empathize with us. Please come to North Point Church this Sunday at 9:30am, and invite a friend, as we worship and learn more about God, who came down from heaven, for all of us.
