Sermon: “Sanctified, Enriched, and United in Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:1–17)

Sermon: “The Virgin Shall Conceive” (Luke 1:26–38)
Our sinful, human ideas about power and glory distort our outlook on everything in life. Because we habitually look on the outward appearances rather than at the Lord’s spiritual evaluation, our opinions are notoriously unreliable. So, we judge wrongly, calling good...
