The King who died for our sins.

 Jesus is no typical king.

Behold Jesus' power to protect His own and obedience in drinking the cup His Father gave.

 Be encouraged, for Jesus prays for us.

Take heart, for Jesus gives deep joy, free access, true peace.

Do not fear persecution; Jesus has given us a divine Helper. 

Jesus is the True Vine and those who abide in Him will bear much fruit.

True Followers of Jesus will love and obey Him and Jesus will secure the Holy Spirit for His followers, from the Father. 

Believe in the Father and the Son, who comforts His own.

Show Christ by loving one another as Jesus loved.

Jesus serves us, so we should serve one another.

Believe in Jesus the humble King, whom God has sent for all people.

The contrast between an irrational devotion to sin and a lavish devotion to Jesus.  

Listen to the Shepherd’s wise words: Fear God. 

Live in the reality of death by reaping, rejoicing, and remembering.

Death is certain and life is not, so be wise, not foolish.

This week’s sermon, “An Appeal for a Grace Shaped Community” is from Romans 12:1-21.

Fear God by being wise and knowing the limits of wisdom.

Consider God amid the realities of death and life.

Wealth disappoints, God satisfies.
