SJLC Sermons

In this powerful sermon, we talk about faith and the redemption of mankind through Jesus as highlighted in the Gospel. When Jesus proclaimed "Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up...," he was emphasizing the salvation of humanity. This sermon transcends from Jesus's teachings to a real life illustration that shows how easily we are plunged into the abyss of life, leaving us under the mercy of our faith, and bringing the critical question, "Am I going to be okay?" to bare.

Much akin to life's precipices, this sermon delves into our human vulnerability, fear and existential anxiety. It accentuates the never-ending challenges of life and the uncontrollability of our world. Our world and our lives are often marked by suffering and brokenness, warped by the influence and power of sin. However, hearteningly enough, the sermon throws light on how struggle is only the start; redemption awaits beyond.

While we might be dead through our trespasses and sins, as Paul affirms in his epistles, God in his rich mercy, renews us, breathing life into us through Christ. As we tread along with Christ during the season of Lent, contemplating his trials and sufferings, we start understanding our brokenness and the redemption awaiting us through Christ's resurrection. This sermon sheds light on how Jesus, through his love, healing, and sacrifice on the cross, restores not only us but our world.

Throughout our journey of faith, we learn to put our trust in Jesus, the one who breathes life into us when we are entrapped in sin. Through this sermon, we embrace the divine conjunction of the cross and resurrection, understanding their significance in fostering our faith. Our faith saves us, providing a firm foundation against life's tribulations, and reveals the true and present reality of Jesus's resurrection.

In this sermon, may you find peace, faith, and hope. Know that you are not alone in this journey. In all our life's precipices, let us look up to Jesus, who ushers in redemption when we are on the edge.
