Sermon

Faith Offering: Philippians 2: 6 – 11: “Though He was in the form of God, Jesus did not deem equality with God something to be grasped at; rather, He emptied Himself, and took the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men. He was known to be of human estate, and it was thus that He humbled Himself, obediently accepting even death, death on a cross. Because of this God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name that is above all other names. So that, at Jesus’ name, every knee must bend, in the heavens, on the earth, and under the earth, and every tongue proclaim, to the glory of God the Father: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!”

He has risen from the tomb and conquered death for everyone!
Now He reigns in endless glory, where we, too, one day shall see
The very splendor of His presence, Father, Son, and Spirit, three!
