This sermon launches this series by exploring the foundational doctrine of one God existing eternally as three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It emphasizes that while the Trinity is a profound mystery beyond full human comprehension, it is central to Biblical Christianity and the history of salvation. The message highlights that God is inherently relational—a "community" of self-giving love—and His triune nature provides several practical implications for believers, such as requiring our humility before the Lord and love for fellow believers.

This sermon explores the nature, authority, and purpose of the Bible as God’s revealed Word. The sermon covers the closed canon of the Bible and compares its historical reliability to other ancient texts. The overarching narrative of the Bible is God’s creation, man's fall, and God’s redemption through Jesus Christ, who is the focus of both the Old and New Testaments. Rather than being a mere rulebook or science text, the Bible is intended to reveal God’s character, bring people to faith and salvation, and transform lives through a personal relationship with Him. Believers are encouraged to interpret the Bible by its historical context and timeless principles, relying on the Holy Spirit as the supreme interpreter to gain wisdom and intimacy with Christ.

This sermon identifies God the Father as the Almighty Maker of the cosmos, life-forms, and an historical Adam and Eve. It argues that the overwhelming evidence of fine-tuning in physics and the complexity of DNA points toward an intelligent Designer rather than blind chance. While the sermon outlines various Christian perspectives on the "how" and "when" of creation—ranging from Young Earth to Theistic Evolution—it emphasizes that these specific mechanics are not essentials of the faith.

This sermon explains that God, as Trinity, is a community of love and mutual indwelling who created humanity in His image. Mankind is designed as personal, moral, and creative beings intended for responsibility, worship, and loving community rather than isolation. Image bearers ought to offer themselves to God and work to image His character to the world. Although the Fall made it impossible for man to fully live out His design, God responded by remaking believers in Christ, who is the perfect image of God.

This sermon explores the fall of mankind in Genesis 3, arguing that denying human sinfulness leads to a denial of the need for salvation. It contrasts biblical truth with contemporary ideologies, detailing how Satan used doubt and independence to lead Adam and Eve into a rebellion that fractured their relationship with God and nature. Ultimately, sin is defined as a failure to value God above all else, leaving humanity in a state of spiritual death that can only be remedied by God's promised rescuer, Jesus Christ.

This sermon explores how God relentlessly pursues a restored relationship with humanity through a series of biblical covenants with key figures like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David. Each covenant represents a specific era, or dispensation, marked by divine blessings and human failure, ultimately revealing the need for a "better" arrangement. The progression culminates in the New Covenant mediated by Jesus Christ, who fulfills all previous promises by providing eternal salvation, inward transformation, and the grace that sinful humanity could not achieve on its own.

This sermon defines the incarnation as the second person of the Trinity, God the Son, taking on full humanity while retaining his complete deity to fulfill God the Father's plan. Jesus’ humanity was essential for him to serve as a perfectly obedient human representative, die in our place, and act as a sympathetic high priest who understands human suffering. Simultaneously, his divinity was necessary because only an infinite and perfect God could bear the full penalty for all sin and provide the gift of eternal life. Ultimately, by being both fully God and fully man in one person, Jesus functions as the unique mediator required to reconcile humanity to God and reveal the Father to the world.

This sermon explores the mystery of Christ's personhood by examining the biblical views of His dual nature as both the Son of God and the Son of Man. It contrasts historical theological schools and heresies that challenged this balance with the foundational Christian creeds of Nicea and Chalcedon, which affirm Him as one person with two distinct natures. Finally, it details Christ's journey through humble self-emptying and temptation to His ultimate exaltation, concluding that believers are predestined to be conformed to His image through the Holy Spirit.

This sermon identifies Christ's death on the cross as the central message of the Christian faith, addressing the fundamental problem of man's sin that severed the relationship with God. Because God is both loving and just, He had to judge sin while simultaneously bearing that judgment Himself through the "Great Exchange", where Christ took on human sin to clothe believers in His righteousness. The significance of this sacrifice lies in its substitutionary nature; as the sinless Lamb of God, Jesus provided a complete, once-for-all payment for the debt of sin through the shedding of His blood. This redemptive act accomplished the forgiveness, reconciliation, and justification of humanity, offering salvation to the entire world conditional upon individual faith and acceptance.

This sermon outlines the historical testimony of Christ’s resurrection, emphasizing that his incarnation as the "Son of Man" is an eternal, irreversible reality that continues in his current role as mediator. It presents the resurrection as the "Great Reversal" of Adam's fall, offering believers justification, regeneration, and the eventual transfiguration of their bodies. Finally, it explores the divine mystery of the Trinity’s involvement in raising Jesus, his subsequent exaltation to the highest name, and the promise of his return in the same manner as his ascension.

The Holy Spirit is a divine person within the Trinity who serves as the "Helper," proceeding from the Father to glorify and bear witness to the Son. He was central to Jesus' life, from His conception to His empowerment for work, ultimately resulting in the resurrected last Adam becoming a life-giving Spirit. For believers, the Spirit convicts and regenerates the heart, acting as an indwelling anointing that teaches and leads them. Through the baptism and outpouring of the Spirit, believers receive power for witnessing and specific spiritual gifts for the common good. The Holy Spirit guarantees believers' eternal inheritance. Christians must be filled with the Spirit, obey His guidance, and act with the power He supplies.

This sermon defines the church as the universal community of God’s redeemed people, a mystery now revealed to include both Jews and Gentiles in one body. It illustrates the church’s identity through biblical images: a spiritual building with Christ as the cornerstone, the body under His headship, the household of God, and the beloved bride of Christ. Entrance into this corporate life is through faith and baptism. Believers must love the church as God does by transcending earthly distinctions.

This sermon outlines the origins and functions of the local church, beginning at Pentecost as a continuation of Jesus' work through both large and small group gatherings. It emphasizes a leadership structure where the terms "elder", "overseer", and "pastor" synonymously describe mature leaders called by the Holy Spirit to shepherd and protect the flock in plurality. Ultimately, the church is presented as a unified body of believers who express their faith through devotion to teaching, fellowship, and serving both one another and the wider world through the Gospel and good works.

This sermon defines stewardship as a decisive commitment to present one's entire being as a "living sacrifice" in response to God’s mercy. It emphasizes that believers must be transformed by the renewal of their minds to discern God's will and faithfully use their diverse, God-given spiritual gifts—such as teaching, service, and acts of mercy—to serve one another. The focus remains on employing and developing these functions to glorify God and build up the body of Christ, rather than seeking position or office.
