Making and maturing disciples of Christ
Sermons by Aaron Prelock (Page 3)
1 Kings 16:29-17:6. The introduction to the life of Elijah shows us our need to take sin seriously, to heed the voice calling us to repentance, and to repent quickly.
Ezekiel 45:17. Ezekiel’s vision of the restored Israel demonstrates the glory of Christ.
Leviticus 19:32. A seemingly random verse set within an eccectic set of Mosaic laws demonstrates God’s love and care for even the most vulnerable members of society.
Titus. Paul’s letter to Titus gives the church today a realistic and attainable pattern for both its doctrine and its practice.
Deuteronomy 32:15-18. Moses’ song in Deuteronomy 32 gives us the results of failing to live according to the gospel. His words serve to warn us of the impact of idolatry.
2 Timothy. Finishing well requires believing the gospel, living according to the gospel, and leading with the gospel.
Exodus 18:21-22 – God outlined for His old covenant people, Israel, what sort of men should lead them. The descriptions are still remarkably helpful for all Christians (but especially elders) today!
1 John 4:10. Love begins with God, involves a rescue, and requires a sacrifice.
2 Thessalonians – Jesus will return. Christians have every reason to suffer well and labour on today.
Jeremiah 31:34 – The new covenant holds out sweet comforts and sweet possibilities to the people of God. We can know the Lord.
Colossians – Jesus Christ is supreme over all. This drastically changes how we think and act.
2 Corinthians – Christians demonstrate Christ’s strength through our weakness when we suffer, when we repent, and when we’re generous.
Psalm 133 – David’s psalm teaches the church that the unity of Christian brotherhood is a work well worth the effort.
Daniel 11 – Daniel’s final vision is haunting and comforting. God really is that great. He really is that good. The end really will come.
Revelation 12:7-9 – The battle has been won, and the battle is ongoing. Satan has been exiled, but he is still to be fought against. Jesus shall reign.
Mark 11:1-11. Mark’s depiction of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem highlights Jesus’ humility at the beginning of Passion Week.
James 4:7-10 – True humility involves submission to God alongside repentance and sorrow over sin.
Revelation 5:11-12. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Daniel 7. Daniel’s vision gives us the comfort that despite the way the world seems to be run, something much bigger is going on behind the scenes.
