It was John Flavel who once said, “No doctrine is more excellent, or necessary to be preached and studied, than Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” The path of freedom begins and ends with the cross of Christ. In Galatians 2:20 the Apostle Paul sums it up best, “I’ve been crucified with Christ, it’s no longer I who live but Christ lives in me..” The Christian life, lived out by the power of the Holy Spirit within us, leads us to bear much fruit and live in freedom all our days.
As many are compiling New Year’s Resolutions, we as Christians should be more resolute than ever to live out Christ’s calling upon our lives. It all begins with an acknowledgement that apart from Him we can do nothing, yet also realizing that through Him we can do all things through Him who gives us strength. When we keep our eyes on Jesus and stay humble before Him the sky is the limit with what the Lord can do in and through His people!
It’s been said that the Gospel is “So simple a child can understand, and so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches.” With the vast depth of Scripture to ponder over at the end of 2025, it’s good to be reminded of this simple teaching—God’s people, filled with God’s Spirit, doing God’s work, unto God’s glory is the marching orders the church has been given until the King returns. A church empowered by the Spirit of God, is a church strong and secure, filled with the love, joy, and peace of God.
The amount of energy the sun produces in one second is nearly a million times more energy than humanity uses in an entire year. It’s this magnificent power that lights up the world day after day to sustain life on earth. The sun, which is a picture of the Son of God, is a metaphor for the spiritual power and light that radiates from our Lord Jesus Christ. Though many around Him refused to believe and receive the light, nevertheless, the promise of Scripture remains true—light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not and will not overcome it.
At one time or another every Christian will find themselves in spiritual “depths”. It’s the place where we feel overwhelmed and hemmed in by the circumstances of life. Throughout the Psalms the writers encourage us, and give us examples of what a weary soul is to do in such conditions—cry out to God from the depths of our soul and drive out the darkness with the glorious light of His Word.
The Corinthian church was left with a decision. Would they submit to the Lord or continue down the arrogant path they were on. The Apostle Paul dropped a heavy letter on them, and their response, coupled with holy reverence led Paul’s soul to be refreshed in the midst of all his afflictions.
The Lord brings comfort to His people in many ways. While the Apostle Paul was in Macedonia he was overburdened with afflictions and in desperate need of encouragement. God used a gentile friend who showed up at just the right time to give him the encouraging word and the comforting presence he needed to keep pressing on in the Lord.
As Christians in these last days staying clean in a dirty world is no easy task. The Apostle Paul concludes 2 Corinthians Ch.6 with an exhortation and encouragement to the church to be separate, be holy, and not be bound to unbelievers. With the power of the Holy Spirit in us we can do all these things through Christ who gives us strength.
1 Corinthians 12:31 states, “Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.” Paul then embarks into what some would call the most important chapter in the New Testament. As the love of many grows cold, the Lord’s word for the church in these last days is to press in, burn brighter, and be fully saturated in the love of Christ.
Motivation can be defined as: “The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.” As the Apostle Paul bears his heart to the Corinthian church he makes clear his motivations in the ministry. He kept the main thing the main thing and though those around him questioned him, doubted his motives, or tried to get him off track, he would not budge. He lived and breathed to glorify Jesus Christ.
One of the literary devices in the toolbox of the Apostle Paul was juxtaposition. Throughout the second letter to the Corinthians Paul beautifully utilizes this poetic device to communicate hope, glory, and the joys that are store for all Christians. Through the pain, struggles, and questions of life Paul wants us to understand it’s light and momentary compared to the eternal weight of glory that awaits us all.
It’s an honor to serve the Lord. The Apostle Paul never forgot this. Mercy guided his ministry and mercy sustained it. He was devoted to sharing this mercy with others and calling everyone to to see the light of the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 2 Corinthians Ch.3 The Apostle Paul tells the Corinthian church they are a letter of Christ and Paul’s confirmation in the ministry. It’s a ministry that no one is adequate for, and a ministry only sustainable by the grace of God. Paul then shifts to the topic of glory as he points the Corinthians to the majesty of Christ, a glory that abides forever and is incomparable to that which came before.
Charlie Kirk was gunned down eleven days ago doing what he loved to do most—sharing the truth in love and pointing people to Christ. Charlie was known for saying that courage doesn’t take intellect or talent but a simple yes to the will of God. May the Christian church rise up and be courageous, living out God’s will. May we all be aware of the times we live in and speak boldly with love until Christ calls us home.
The darkness in our world feels tangible in recent days. Evil is called good and good is called evil. A strong delusion is upon many in our nation. In the midst of the deep pain, suffering, and confusion may we look to the Lamb and find comfort, peace, and hope in our time of need.
Travis Key sermon on Self Exaltation, Self Deception and Self Examination
As the Apostle Paul bears his heart before the Corinthians he brings their attention to his character and reasons for being in the ministry. Other ministers were coming into the church with lofty resumes and spectacular credentials—Paul would have none of that. His competency was found in God alone. He was empowered by the Holy Spirit. He was sent and commissioned by Jesus himself. Paul leaves no doubt in his readers mind—his motivation, sustenance, and competency in the ministry came from God almighty.
