All believers have the need to be reminded every day and of course every week, of the rich sufficiency of Christ’s work. We are to sit back with eager delight and anticipation as we drink afresh the cup of the gospel blessings. We look for it to expose areas of self-righteousness, self-sufficiency, and even self-atonement. In this sermon we?ll examine three specifics…

How is a Christian to live in this world? Are we to isolate ourselves because it is so sinful? Are we to become wrapped up in fixing all of the problems? How does God want us to live here in this world? Titus 3 gives us helpful instruction on how to be a gospel-centered citizen.
The battleground for the satisfied soul is the mind. God invades the minds of his children with the word of God so that we might see his Son’s unrivaled greatness.

The basis and end game of false teaching is decidedly opposed to Jesus Christ. Believers must be able to recognize and resist the threat to the beauty and purity of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul models this for us. While incarcerated for the preaching of the gospel, he looks out over the horizon and struggles for believers. He prays for them, writes…
Too often we forget the beautiful sufficiency of Christ. As a result we oftentimes grow complacent in our service, our priorities get a bit skewed for one another and we dangerously wander down other avenues of focus.

Throughout history there is perhaps no one who has been more widely mistaken than Jesus. There have been attempts to recast, redefine, remold and remix Jesus at every turn. Fortunately God has spoken with clarity as to who Jesus is and what he has done. In these sermons we aim to have our minds informed and reformed by the biblical Jesus.
