Portraits of the Messiah
Long before Bethlehem, God was painting portraits of the One who would come. Through five figures drawn from the Old Testament, Genesis 3:15, the covenant with Abraham, the lives of Moses and Aaron, and the royal vision of Psalm 110, a single, stunning image takes shape: Jesus as the promised Conqueror, the Source of all blessing, the Better Prophet, the Perfect Priest, and the Eternal King. Each portrait sharpens the picture, showing that the whole sweep of Scripture was always pointing to Him. Walk through these five sermons and find that the Messiah is far greater, far more personal, and far more victorious than you may have imagined.
When Adam and Eve fell, God promised a coming conqueror. This sermon traces that ancient promise from Genesis to Revelation, revealing how Jesus crushes Satan's head and secures victory for His people.
God made an unbreakable promise to Abraham, and through Jesus, that same promise of blessing now belongs to all who simply believe and receive it.
Moses' life reveals a God who transforms flawed people by grace and leads them home. In Jesus, we meet the greater prophet who not only points to the promised land but enters it with us.
God chose Aaron as high priest, and through his life we see a portrait of Jesus Christ, the perfect and eternal high priest who stands between us and God, offering the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
Psalm 110 reveals Jesus as the supreme king ruling now at God's right hand. His enemies are already becoming His footstool, and His people stand as willing, holy warriors in His kingdom.
