The Candle of Peace

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.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

To establish it and to uphold it

with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. – Isaiah 9:6–7

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,

from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel,

whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.

And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,

in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.

And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.

And he shall be their peace. – Micah 5:2, 4–5

And the angel said to them,

“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy

that will be for all the people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be a sign for you:

you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

– Luke 2:10–14

Message: The Sin Atoner

Sunday, December 20, 2020

“It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” Author: Edmund H. Sears (1849)

Pastor Philip

Friends, Christmas means we are loved, more than we know!

And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:10–14)

As we celebrate in this difficult year, may we focus our hearts on the beauty of God’s saving work in Jesus Christ announced to the shepherds so long ago:

Krista, Claire, Violet, Cora, Jude and I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Series: HOLDING OUT HOPE

Message: The Sin Atoner

Scripture: Genesis 22, Exodus 12, Exodus 29, Leviticus 16, Isaiah 53, Revelation 5 ESV

Pastor Philip Miller

John the Baptist announced Jesus to the world by saying, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." In many ways, this is THE story of the Bible, the one that makes sense of all the other stories, and connects, undergirds, and unifies them.

In this sermon spanning seven passages from Genesis to Revelation, we explore how this story resonates across all of Scripture. Seven themes:

• The Missing Lamb (Genesis 22)

• The Passover Lamb (Exodus 12)

• The Sacrificial Lambs (Exodus 29)

• The Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16)

• The Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53)

• The Lamb of God – Jesus

• The Lamb on the Throne (Revelation 5)

Scripture is clear: Jesus is "The Sin Atoner." He has secured an eternal redemption. He has put away sin by the sacrifice of himself by means of his own blood.

The Takeaway: "It is Finished!" Jesus has done everything to make us right with God through his death and resurrection on our behalf. There is nothing we can add to or subtract from his final, full, finished work. It is done. It is finished...
