Noel Piepgrass kicks off this advent-themed teaching series on worship by looking at examples from the Christmas story and Paul’s letter to the Romans.
On Christmas Eve 2024, Noel shows us how Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and our reason to worship!
In Matthew 8:18-22 Jesus encounters two disciples challenged with what it means to follow him. The prescription is a right ordering of allegiance to Christ before all else.
In Matthew 11:1-19, John the Baptist sends his disciples to Jesus to ask him if he really is the Messiah. In this message, Noel Piepgrass identifies with the doubts of John and explains how Jesus answers them with both grace and gospel evidence. In his response, we see Jesus give a credible defense that points to his Messiahship.
In Matthew 13 Jesus gives a sermon using parables, short stories with a moral to them. In verses 10-17, we see Jesus quote a passage from the book of Isaiah which effectively communicates to the audience that his use of parables is the most impactful way to help his audience hear and see the mysteries of the Kingdom. In this message, Noel goes on to share his own story and invites the listener into the story God is writing over their own lives and over the life of Exeter Valley Church.
Jesus, when questioned about divorce by the Pharisees, takes us back to the creation account and the meaning of marriage. Matthew 19:1-6. By Noel Piepgrass
