From the unique circumstances of His birth to the three fold announcement of the purpose of the incarnation, Jesus Christ is the name above all names. He is the One who will Save His people from their sins, Fulfill all that the prophets spoke about, and Reveal the Father. This week we examine the unique circumstance of the virgin conception and the first purpose of His appearing: to "save His people from their sins!" http://www.sermoncloud.com/newtown/a-savior-from-sin-matthew-118-21 http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2300/a-savior-from-sin.mp3 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 09:24:24 CST Joey Newton The announcement of the appearing of Jesus Christ came with the greatest news a sinner could ever hear, "He will save His people from their sins."

God's word is settled. The words, theories, and counsel of men fail, but God's word stands unchanging and unbreakable. To the one who trust in His word it is a source of delight that brings satisfaction, hope, and freedom! How could we look anywhere else? http://www.sermoncloud.com/newtown/gods-word-is-a-solid-rock-psalm-11989-96 http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2300/gods-word-is-a-solid-rock.mp3 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 06:27:29 CST Joey Newton Psalm 119 trust,trustworthy,god's_word,scripture,bible,hope,satisfaction,steadfast,psalm,psalm_119,freedom,free 45:48 Though not usually seen this way, Matthew's genealogy powerfully shows he glory of God’s sovereign faithfulness and grace in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. To see this we will note I. The purpose of the Genealogy, and then II. 4 ways God’s glory is manifest in the coming Christ: (1) God is faithful to His promises, (2) God is sovereign over the nations and individuals, (3) God is a God of indescribable grace, and (4) Jesus Christ is the display of God’s glory. http://www.sermoncloud.com/newtown/gods-glory-in-a-genealogy-matthew-11-17 http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2300/gods-glory-in-a-genealogy.mp3 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 06:26:57 CST Joey Newton Matthew matthew,gospel,genealogy,grace,faithfulness,sovereignty,promise,covenant,jesus_christ,messiah 57:32 The psalmist is going through a deep spiritual struggle. He feels abandoned by the Lord; his inner spiritual strength is gone; his previous fellowship has been taken away; the intimate delight is a distant memory. He is desperate for deliverance; he lacks a sense of God’s compassion; he feels God’s delay in judging his persecutors, until the point that he is despairing even of life. He is in a spiritual valley. “The midnight of the Psalm, and very dark and black it is” (Spurgeon). Spurgeon himself is said to have struggled at times with depression. This teaches us that even the most eminent of saints are not beyond the flaming arrows of our adversary and are not immune at times to letting their guard down and having those arrows embedded into the heart. Thankfully, for the believer, that no a single arrow of Satan, no matter how well suited and painful it may be, is ever a death blow. A believer may be weakened by Satan’s attacks but he is never defeated and cannot be ultimately. We have the divine resources of an indestructible life in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 2:16-18; 4:15-16; 7:25). (In the world you have troubles, but take courage. I have overcome the world [John 16:33]); what is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith (1 John 5:4).Hope in and faithfulness to the Word of God are anchors to the soul in spiritual struggle and persecution. http://www.sermoncloud.com/newtown/hope-through-despair-psalm-11981-88 http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2300/hope-through-despair.mp3 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 06:31:39 CST Joey Newton Psalm 119 hope,despair,depression,persecution,attack,faith,word_of_god,affliction,sadness,abandonment,psalms,psalm_119,spiritual_struggle 48:31 How was the first century Jewish understanding of the Messiah?

However, in the midst of his waiting He calls on God to remember His Word, and he himself is comforted by remembering the past works of God on behalf of His people; and by remembering God’s nature and character. The remembrances and thoughts of God that comfort the psalmist and strengthen his love for God and hatred of wickedness, are all centered around God’s word. http://www.sermoncloud.com/newtown/a-good-memory-brings-comfort-to-gods-child-psalm-11949-56 http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2300/a-good-memory-brings-comfort-to-gods-child.mp3 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 06:31:06 CST Joey Newton Psalm 119 deliverance,memory,commitment,waiting,wait,trust,affliction,hope,consolation,comfort,god's_word,god's_word,remember 60:45 Most of our spiritual struggles (if not all) come from the fact that we are seeking satisfaction in things other than God; we have competing desires.
