In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson reflects on the monumental significance of Jesus' sacrifice, as depicted in Isaiah 53. He draws parallels between personal stories of longing, failure, and redemption to the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for humanity's freedom from sin. Pastor Gary underscores the value Jesus places on each individual, likening us to unique, invaluable masterpieces in God's eyes. The sermon emphasizes that Easter represents not just the resurrection of Christ but the restoration, redemption, and immense worth bestowed upon us, despite our imperfections, through His love and sacrifice.
Pastor Gary Wilkerson shares a sermon about the grace of God. The original sin of Adam rules over our lives, but even greater than that is God's great grace toward us and the gift of righteousness through Jesus. What is the result of grace in our lives? We produce a harvest of good deeds for God. Good works are the result, not the means to earning God's love.
We must be careful not to wander away from the Blood of the Cross and a surrendered life because it suits the vision of what we think our lives should be in Christ. Our sin nature will cause us to be foolish and head out to an alternate place of cleansing and comfort. Today God is calling you back home to His plan and His power and His purposes.
Pastor Nick Cassidy from Cork Church in Ireland shares with us about being delivered from torment. Many Christians walk through life heavy laden. It can stem from sin, or sometimes from not fully understanding the new covenant we have through Jesus. Isaiah tells us that if we try to make our own light — add our righteousness to Christ's — we'll lay down in torment. Jesus invites those who are heavy laden to come to Him, and He will give them rest. Our part is faith that Christ's work on the cross was complete.
