God's Word Is Necessary (1 Corinthians 2:6-13)

Boston is a diverse city of nearly 700,000 people from various nations, backgrounds, and experiences. And yet at the core, all of us are searching for the same things for our lives: purpose, identity, happiness, and hope. As we conclude our sermon series on the doctrine of Scripture, we'll see that these deep desires we all have, we cannot ultimately discover by ourselves. They can only be found in God, who reveals himself to us in his Word.

The Perspective We Need (Matthew 17:1-13)

Why do people climb mountains? For some it's to get a new perspective. When you climb a tall mountain you see the world down below differently, but you also see yourself differently as it makes you feel small. In our passage this Sunday, Jesus takes three of his disciples up a mountain, because they needed a new perspective--on the world, on themselves, and on Him. And of course, this is a new perspective that we need, too.
