Join us as Pastor Robbie Ballentine shares this powerful sermon unpacking what it means to be "bought and paid for" in Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 9:12–15, Ephesians 1:3, Galatians 3:10–14, Titus 2:14, Colossians 1:13, and 1 Peter 1:13–19, this message explores how Jesus' sacrifice secures our redemption, removes the curse, and ushers us into an eternal inheritance. We examine:

• The once-for-all payment of Christ's blood (Hebrews 9:12–15) and why it changes everything for believers.
• The spiritual blessings and inheritance we receive in Christ (Ephesians 1:3; Colossians 1:13).
• How the law’s curse is reversed and faith becomes our righteousness (Galatians 3:10–14).
• The purpose of Christ’s rescue: to present a people devoted to good works (Titus 2:14).
• Living as redeemed people: sober hope, holy conduct, and steadfast faith (1 Peter 1:13–19).

What to expect: Scripture-led exposition, practical application for daily living, and encouragement to live as those bought by grace. Whether you’re exploring faith or seeking renewed hope, this sermon points you to the cost and the gift of redemption.

On Easter Sunday we proclaim the life that rises from death. Using John 3:9–18, Numbers 21:8–9, Isaiah 53:1, Psalm 16:8–10, and Matthew 28:1–15, this sermon traces God’s rescue plan from the bronze serpent to the empty tomb. We’ll see how Christ’s lifting on the cross brings healing for our sin-sickness, how the prophet’s suffering points to vindication, and how the resurrection transforms fear into faithful hope. Expect Scripture-driven teaching, practical application for today, and an invitation to meet the risen Savior who says, “Look and live.”

Join us as we trace the life and purpose of the Lamb of God through Scripture — from the Passover lamb in Exodus 12 to John the Baptist’s declaration (John 1:29), the praise of Psalm 118:26, Jesus’ arrival in Luke 19:28, and the events of Matthew 26:1–35. In this message we will:

• Unpack the Passover’s sacrificial symbolism and how it foreshadows Christ’s atoning work.
• Explore John 1:29 and the meaning of “Behold the Lamb of God” for believers today.
• Reflect on Psalm 118’s cry of praise and the people’s welcome of Jesus, then consider the cost revealed in the upper room and Gethsemane (Matthew 26).
• Draw practical applications for worship, repentance, courage, and living in the light of Christ’s substitutionary love.

Scripture readings: Exodus 12; John 1:29; Psalm 118:26; Luke 19:28; Matthew 26:1–35.
