Trinity Grace Church

Here we find the third parable in this set of three where Jesus confronts Israel's failure to respond to the Lord.  It's the parable of the wedding feast - who would possibly reject the invitation of a king to his son's wedding?  

Jesus brings an effective indictment against the religious leaders of Israel with two parables set in a vineyard.  Jesus says he will take the kingdom from them and give it to a nation producing its fruits.

When Jesus first enters Jerusalem, he goes to his house (the temple) to go about his business.  The tension continues to rise between Jesus and the religious authorities.

Jesus enters Jerusalem - the prophet, priest, and king.  Not only does Jesus present a political threat to the Roman government, he presents a threat to the religious leaders in Jerusalem.  He comes as King; He comes as Prophet; He comes as Priest.  

We return to our study in Matthew as Jesus and His disciples now turn to the ascent to Jerusalem from Jericho.  And before they go, Jesus again encourages His disciples in the nature of the kingdom and the nature of its King.

Before we return to our study of Matthew, and in preparation for officer nominations, Rev. Miller preaches from Acts 6 showing how the offices of the church should reflect the offices of Christ Jesus - prophet, priest, and king.  

The Reverend Jake Allen reminds us of the importance of the Word of God.

The Reverend Brandon Van Marel points us to the Lord as the One who satisfies the soul.  

We finish our Christmas in the Covenants series with Hebrews 8:1-13 seeing Christ as the fulfillment of promise.

In our second sermon of our Advent Series, Christmas in the Covenants, we look to God's promise to Abraham and how it finds its fulfillment in Jesus.
