"His One and Only Son" | Pastor Ben Kellert

There are over 200 names for the One and Only Son:

  • Messiah
  • Jesus
  • Emmanuel
  • Prince of Peace
  • The Good Shepherd
  • Alpha and Omega
  • I AM
  • Jehovah...

When you hear the name, Jesus... What comes to your mind?

"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there's just something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain;
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's something about that name
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's something about that name"

 

The World's Response to the name of Jesus:

 "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." -Matthew 10:22

1. Rage - People are martyred for naming Jesus as their Lord and Savior

2. Ridicule - people often make fun of Christians

3. Relegation - to assign to an obscure position or diminish the importance 

4. Refusal - refusing to consider or acknowledge

 

Who do you say that I am?

Philippians 2:1-11 

"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

1. Jesus is GOD (Philippians 2:5-6)

  • John 1:1  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

2. Jesus is Saviour (Phil. 2:7-8)

  • Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
  • Mark 10:45  "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
  • He knew our greatest need was forgiveness so He sent a saviour.

3. Jesus is Lord (Phil 2:9-11)

  • His name is above every other name!
  • He is Sovreign, Master, King...
  • He has all authority

Jesus is Lord - through the Son, we hear God speak and we see God's compassionate heart.

When your belief in Jesus moves from your head to your heart, you will never be the same again!

We have no guarantee of tomorrow so the time to act and decide is now!
