I had the great privilege to preach at our evening service again this past week. It was a bittersweet moment, as this was the final 5:01 service.
Looking for the Wrong Kind of a Savior
And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (Luke 22:41–42 ESV)
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. (Colossians 1:19–20 ESV)
We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. (Romans 6:9 ESV)
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55 ESV)
