Welcome back and thanks for joining us! We continue our sermon series "What We Believe" based on the New City Catechism. What kind of Redeemer could possibly save us from the power of sin? And if only God Himself can redeem us, what does that tell us about Christ and our need for Him? Find out in this week's sermon brought by our Lead Pastor Stefan Bomberger.
ONLY GOD CAN...
1. Suffer Effectively (John 10:17-18)
2. Bear Wrath Sufficiently (1 John 4:10)
3. Conquer Death Decisively (Rev. 1:17-18)
New City Catechism
Q23: Why must the Redeemer be truly God?
A: That because of his divine nature his obedience and suffering would be perfect and effective; and also that he would be able to bear the righteous anger of God against sin and yet overcome death (WCF 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5; WLC 38, 40, 52; WSC 22).
