Most revolutions begin by beheading the king, but Mary’s revolution, shared through her song in Luke 1, introduces a new one. In fact, Mary’s song was once considered so subversive, it was banned from public singing. This "revolutionary anthem" provides the basis for our modern values of equality and compassion, and celebrates the redemption of power through a King who was born in a manger and served his people through a cross.

Temptation doesn’t show up with horns and a trident; it arrives as desire. Drawing from Acts 5 and James 1, this sermon examines how the enemy uses our ordinary human desires as seemingly irresistible bait. Claiming to be a ‘special case’ or weaponizing your victimhood is futile. Instead, anchor your faith in the goodness of God, the “Father of Lights,” who knows exactly what we need to be truly satisfied.

When a marriage becomes a conspiracy against God, who pays the price? The story of Ananias and Sapphira shows us the devastating consequences of deceit and the profound need for the fear of God in marriage and the church. The sermon also issues a direct challenge to young men: don’t pursue a culture of constant coddling. Like the young men in Acts 5 who ‘rose up’ even in the face of death, be ready to do hard things in service to Jesus and his bride.
