God’s Glory Alone
Because salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to God’s Word alone, God alone is the one who deserves all the glory. We are saved for his glory, we live for his glory and one day we will share in his glory.
Cows, corpses and cleansing
God’s gracious provision of an instant sin offering to cure the uncleanness of his people reminds us that in Christ we have one who cleanses us not externally and temporarily, but internally and eternally.
Grace Alone
The doctrine of Grace Alone reminds us of our desperate need for grace and that God has acted in grace towards us, offering us the free gift of salvation.
Scripture Alone
“Scripture Alone” affirms that the Bible is our final authority when it comes to knowing God’s truth.
The King’s law
Christians relate to the law by obeying Jesus, the one in whom the whole law finds its fulfilment.
The King’s people
Listen as Jesus teaches his followers, and us, what it looks like to live as citizens of his new kingdom.
Triumph over temptation
Let us admire and learn from Jesus, the one who triumphed over temptation in the wilderness.
Grumbling and grace
What’s the point of the tough times in life? Tonight we see Israel encounter three tough times on their journey. Each time, they grumble about their circumstances and each time their grumbling is met with God’s grace. In these stories we see that God uses the tough times we face to strengthen our faith in him.
Our story, our song
Israel’s song tells the story of what God has done, who God is, and what God will do. Everyone who has a story of salvation has a song to sing, including us.
Deliver us from evil
Israel’s great deliverance through the Red Sea reminds us that we desperately need deliverance, that we experience deliverance by trusting God and that when we are delivered, God is the one who gets the glory.
