Protoevangelium

Today we start a summer sermon series where we will see Jesus’ promised victory over our enemy, giving up His life for us and securing our salvation, and fulfilling Genesis 3—The Serpent Must Die! The Bible is full of promises of the coming Messiah – some are so easy to see that even secular scholars can’t deny that these promises are talking about a future Messiah. Others are a little more complicated and require a close eye to the details. But in all of them, starting in Genesis 3, we see that Jesus has a plan from the moment of humanity’s fall into sinful rebellion – crush the head of the one who tempted them to sin in the first place.

Let Us Pray

Just 50 days after the Cross…at Pentecost…the early church numbering about 120, huddled in an upper room in Jerusalem, received the empowering Holy Spirit, for the purpose of proclaiming Christ to the lost world around them. But, the world hates the gospel and reacts to muffle the voice of the believer— and still does so today. However, there is something so much bigger, so much more powerful, happening in the grand story! The early Jerusalem believers understood it and drew strength from it. And, they often found it in a moment of gathered prayer…the Prayer Meeting! The Sovereign Authority of God…His Word…His Plan…His Power…available to the early church, remains for us today: for the empowering of our ministries, mission, and witness…and can be found in our own Prayer Meetings!

The Harvest is Plentiful

Just 50 days after the Cross…at Pentecost…the early church numbering about 120, huddled in an upper room in Jerusalem, received the empowering Holy Spirit, for the purpose of proclaiming Christ to the lost world around them. But, the world hates the gospel and reacts to muffle the voice of the believer—and still does so today. However, there is something so much bigger, so much more powerful, happening in the grand story! The early Jerusalem believers understood it and drew strength from it.

Is There Any Hope?

We end our journey in the book of Judges with a story that is about as awful as you can find. The story focuses on a man and his concubine seeking a place to stay the night on the way to visit the Tabernacle. Believing he has found a place of hospitality, the story quickly turns ugly as the men from the city first try to take and rape the man, but instead tale his concubine, abuse and rape her to the point of death. The man’s insane response leads to a civil war filled with violence against the tribe of Benjamin. The story just gets more violent and depraved from there, and at the center is the horrible treatment and abuse of women. This story and the book of Judges concludes with the theme statement, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Israel was supposed to be different because they had a different God. Sadly, their story just mimics those told by the unbelieving nations around them. We live in a world filled with abuse, violence, power grabs, and greed. Judges actually ends where human history keeps landing, leaving us with the question, “Is there any hope for a better story?” Thankfully, the story does not end here, as Judges prepares us for the coming of a king and God’s Kingdom, with the promise that one day the True King will rescue His people and make everything sad untrue.

The Upside Down

The book of Judges ends with two horrible stories that reveal the distance Israel had fallen. The people rescued from slavery and brought into relationship with Yahweh became people so entrenched in their sin and idolatry that they didn’t even realize they were worshiping different gods. The story of Micah, his idols, the personal priest, and the Danites is just bizarre. More important, it is the anti-Exodus and Joshua. In those stories, God rescues Israel from slavery, forms them as a people, gives them priests and leaders, and then gives them the Promised Land. This crazy story is laden with so many images from Israel’s redemption story, but every image is upside down and opposite God’s rescue story. This is always what happens to people who reject Jesus as King and do right in their own eyes. False worship and spirituality will lead people to believe they are spiritual and right while actually abandoning everything Christ represents. So, we must let our worship be defined by the true character of God and the means of grace He has given us to truly worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

The Devastating Cost of Sin

Puritan John Owen warned, “Be killing sin or it will be killing you.” We tend to think that if we are forgiven, we can go ahead and do whatever we want. The Samson story is a stark reminder that our sinful thoughts and actions always lead to devastation. Samson’s sin took him further than he ever thought he would stray, kept him longer than he ever wanted to stay, and cost him more than he wanted to pay. God’s warrior ends blind, enslaved, and hopeless. Yet, this was not the end of his story, God is always a God of second chances. So, from the pit of despair, Samson cries out and discovers that God’s grace is sweeter every single day. That is good news, no matter where you are or what sin struggle you have. The best path is to realize God loves us, wants the best for us, and His ways are always the path to the greatest blessing. Therefore, we need to take our sin seriously by pursuing confession and repentance which brings forgiveness and deliverance.

The Spirit of the Lord Rushed Upon Him

It doesn’t take long to realize Samson is not a hero. We tend to picture Samson as this muscle bound warrior, something like Andre the Giant, who uses his incredible power to perform feats of strength. Yet, the story does not attribute Samson’s power to his workout performance. Rather, Samson’s story begins with the Spirit of the Lord stirring in him (13:25). On multiple occasions, it is the Spirit of the Lord coming on Samson, giving him the power to accomplish God’s purpose of defeating and pushing back the Philistines. We can’t read the Samson story without remembering that the same Holy Spirit that came on Samson has indwelt, filled, and empowered us for God’s mission today. Our topic today is to look at the Holy Spirit and discover that He is the person of God giving the presence of God to the people of God for the purpose of bringing the power of God.

Satisfaction and Salvation in the Trinity

We are honored to have Dr. Ronni Kurtz as our guest speaker this morning! He is an Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. And, even more importantly, an EHS grad! The doctrine of the Trinity can feel abstract—how is it that one God can be three persons? When Christians set out to consider the Trinity, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by how other God is. In this sermon, Ronni Kurtz seeks to show how not only is the Trinity true, but why God’s being three is beautiful. The aim of this sermon is to show how we are both satisfied and saved by the triune God.
