Advent 1 – Sunday Sermon Matthew 21:1-13
This sermon for the First Sunday of Advent centers on the question, “Who is this Jesus?” Drawing from Matthew 21:1-13, it explores Jesus’ identity as prophet, Messiah (“Son of David”), and humble king who fulfills Scripture and bears the world’s sins. The message challenges listeners to reflect on their own expectations of Jesus, emphasizing that Christ’s true kingship is found in humility, sacrifice, and the promise of forgiveness and eternal life. The sermon encourages deeper faith and engagement with Christ as the church year begins.
Sunday Sermon Matthew 18:21-35
