Jesus Christ, being truly God and truly man, is without sin. The only way to condemn a righteous man is with an unrighteous trial. The chief priests had violated Deuteronomy 16:18-21 while fulfilling Isaiah 50:6. They perverted justice to condemn Jesus to death. Judas betrayed Jesus. Peter denied Jesus, but Jesus willingly went to the cross to fulfill His divine decree, atoning for the sins of the elect. Pastor Dan walks us through the implications of Mathew 26:47-27:10.
It is no accident that Jesus was crucified during Passover. The passover is a memorial of the blood of the lamb that caused death to pass over the homes it covers. Jesus is the Passover Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, and He institutes the ordinance of communion at the passover meal hours before He is arrested and eventually crucified to atone for the sins of the elect. In this sermon, Pastor Daniel shows the link between Passover and communion, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, and the atoning work of Christ on the cross.
The doctrine of the atonement is central to the Gospel. Jesus paid our sin debt, restoring us back to God. This doctrine has been under attack from liberals and “progressives” for years. However, the truth of the Gospel as it relates to Christ’s substitutionary atonement stands strong. In this sermon, we address several key passages to define the doctrine and understand how it relates to our salvation and to our evangelism efforts.
In this sermon from Restoration Church, Daniel Samms does a brief overview of the Attributes of God series Restoration Church has been in before going into a study of God's Goodness, specifically His benevolence, grace, mercy, patience, and love. Special attention is given to 1 John 4 and Galatians 5 as we see that the Holy Spirit works in the believer to grow spiritual fruit not as a result of the believer working hard to do good, but as a result of abiding in Christ. It is no coincidence that the fruits of the Spirit are directly related to God’s goodness. We are formed into he image of God by the Holy Spirit as we worship God.
In this sermon from Restoration Church, Daniel Samms does a brief overview of the Attributes of God series Restoration Church has been in before going into a study of God's Righteousness and Holiness, leading to a clear understanding of how we fall short of God's glory because of our sin, but Jesus dies to satisfy the wrath and justice of God, transferring His righteousness to us. The ultimate result is that God receives glory in the Gospel, because His righteousness is revealed!
