From Creation to Redemption
In the beginning, God's Word went forth: "Let there be light" (Gen 1:3). The Spirit of God hovering over the face of the deep joined Himself to that Word with explosive, creative effect. And the universe was born. As it was with creation, so it is now with redemption--God's new creation in Christ (2 Cor 4:6). God's Word is preached and, when it is accompanied by the power of His Spirit, man is born again. Sinners are saved and saints are strengthened, all by His grace and all for His glory (cf. Gal 3:1-6; Act 20:32). May God be pleased to use these sermons in your life to this end!

We’re not right. Not all of us are willing to admit it. But, deep down, we all feel it. And we have different ways of trying to get better—we have different ways of attempting “justification.” In this parable, Jesus gives us two of the most common approaches. One looks quite clean on the outside but ends in a mess. The other looks like a train-wreck but it leads to freedom and life.
