(SERMON) Luke 2:8-12 "Mega Joy" comes from Jesus

People look for what "sparks joy" is all kinds of places. But the only place to find great joy⁠—MEGA JOY⁠—which can overcome all darkness, fear, and sin is in the baby born in a manger 2000 years ago: in the Saviour who is both the promised Messiah who saves us from sin and the Lord God Almighty who rules and reigns over all things.

(SERMON) Exodus 40.17-38 - divine worship and divine presence

In Exodus 40 we find the start of the new journey of the people of God with the presence of Him among them.  We see that we are only to worship God in the ways He has commanded, that we must not forget His holiness, and that we today have something greater than the tabernacle.  Jesus Christ is the true and greater tabernacle, God dwelling among us, and today by the Holy Spirit we are all called to be tabernacles of God in our lives and communities as we journey to the Promised Land.
