”Jesus: The Priest King” Psalm 110 by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

Waterbrooke Family,

This Sunday, we discussed persevering as a believer in a broken and a hostile world. Jesus says these words in Matthew’s gospel: “But the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). He says this is in the context of teaching his disciples that the mission of God will happen in an increasingly hostile world: “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to the nations, and then the end will come.” 

How is your faith? Are you feeling like throwing in the towel? Are you weak and weary? This Sunday’s psalm is a great one. It’s Psalm 110 and it is the most quoted Psalm in the entire New Testament. That might say something about how crucial it is to our lives and to Christ’s mission. Our hope in perseverance is not our power to persevere but in Christ’s power to hold us and to keep us to the end. This is truly great hope and encouragement. Our sermon is called “Jesus: The Priest King.” 

In Christ,
Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor
