2/2 Sunday Evening Worship Service

Feb 2, 2025    Steve Baker

In this message, Pastor Steve Baker continues the series teaching on sound doctrine, focusing on the purpose of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Titus 2:1, Matthew 16:13-17, and John 12:23-33, he reminds us that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many. His death was not an accident but the fulfillment of God's eternal plan, as He was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.


Pastor Steve highlights two key aspects of Christ’s purpose: the significance of His death and the significance of His resurrection. Jesus voluntarily gave His life as our substitute, taking on the punishment we deserved. His resurrection, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15, is the foundation of our faith, proving His victory over sin and death. Because He lives, we have the hope of eternal life and the promise of resurrection. The message closes with a call to trust in Christ's finished work and stand firm in the truth of the gospel—the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
