At Christmas, God showed his love for us by sending his only son to give us life through propitiation for our sins.
At Christmas, we celebrate the miraculous gift of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became fully human and took the form of a humble servant for our redemption. Now He is exalted to the highest degree and we worship Him.
We do not overcome trials and temptations by our own power or might. The weapons of our warfare are not of this world. We are mighty when we hear and heed the Words of Christ. He who has ears to hear, let him hear—and overcome.

We are called to humbly believe that Jesus’ omnipotent, unstoppable words of command have authority over sickness and death.
The life of discipleship is an examined life, an authentic life, and an enduring life.
Jesus’ command to love our enemies is a personal ethic for persecuted disciples. When we enlarge our frame of reference, we will see that we follow a Savior who exemplified his own command by loving us who were once his enemies.
Disciples are those who have been chosen by Jesus and have decided to follow him. The kingdom of God and all its spiritual blessings belong to them, though with it comes persecution.

Does Psalm 58 make you uncomfortable, embarrassed, or troubled? How should we think about prayers in Scripture that call on God to curse our enemies?
Why does Jesus eat with tax collectors and sinners? Because those are the people Jesus came to rescue.
Christ ascended to the right hand of the Father and is reigning. His exaltation continues and intensifies his spiritual presence with us, his rule through his Word, his power over our enemies, and his intercession as our advocate.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most consequential event in human history. It has altered the fate of nations, transformed cultures, and changed billions of individual lives. The question confronting each of us is this: Have a few zealous disciples fooled billions of people, or did a loving God come to us, die for us, and raise from the dead for us? At Covenant Life, we are answering that question, very clearly and very simply: we believe.

On Pentecost, Peter explained the coming of the Holy Spirit to the bewildered crowd. He preached that this Jesus—attested by God, crucified, raised, and exalted—is indeed both Lord and Christ.
We must not only remember what Christ has done and look forward to what Christ will do. We must also think carefully about what Christ is doing right now, reigning at the right hand of the Father.
Heaven, Jesus, and the onlookers responded to the cross. How will you respond?
At a certain time and in a certain place, a space-time event occurred. A certain man, a God-man was crucified and died. Significant? World-changing? Nothing else comes even close. Nothing is more important than this.
If Jesus uses the same standards to judge me that I’ve used to judge him, will I be acquitted?
