5 reasons why it matters that Jesus Christ was born a man:

1. He is the Last Adam. Where the first Adam failed, Christ obeyed as our covenant Head (1 Cor. 15:45).

2. He is the Son of David. He fulfills God's promise of a King from David's line (Luke 1:32–33).

3. He fulfilled the Law. Born an Israelite male, He was circumcised and lived in perfect obedience (Gal. 4:4).

4. He is our Great High Priest. He fulfills the priestly office and intercedes for His people (Heb. 4:14).

5. He is the Bridegroom. Christ loves, redeems, and sanctifies His bride, the Church (Eph. 5:25–27).

The Church is not a place for personal recognition or competition. Believers are called to serve one another for the glory of God.

Jesus does not come to congratulate people who believe themselves righteous.

He comes to save sinners who cannot save themselves.

[Southern Seminary @SBTS]

“Prayerless pastors lead powerless churches.”
ㅤ
In today’s chapel, Dr. Joseph Harrod, Associate Professor of Biblical Spirituality at Southern Seminary, preached from 2 Corinthians 1:8–11 on Paul’s testimony that the prayers of the Corinthian church helped him in his affliction.
ㅤ
Our prayers are real ministry. God works through the intercession of ordinary believers, and He calls pastors to lead their people to pray.

A sermon is NOT:
- a commentary
- a lecture
- a pep-talk
- a TED talk
- a therapy session

A sermon IS:
- a declaration from the text
- an application from the text
- a proclamation (of the gospel) from the text

[Dustin Benge @DustinBenge]

At the heart of the Reformation was a recovery of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Salvation is not something we accomplish, but something Christ has accomplished for us.

[For The Gospel @forthegospelmin]

Doing what is right becomes difficult when it means disappointing someone whose approval matters to you. The fear of people can compromise our conscience, but obedience to God must take priority over the opinions of others.

Every professing believer in Jesus Christ should be burdened for the purity of His church which, by definition, means he or she is first and foremost burdened for their own personal purity. As Thomas Watson declares in his book The Pure in Heart, “This is a sign of a new nature: when a man hates what he once loved! And because he hates sin, therefore he fights against it with the ‘sword of the Spirit’ (Eph. 6:17), as a man who hates a serpent seeks the destruction of it.”

Security Alert: U.S. Mission Saudi Arabia (October 25, 2026)

Effective October 23, 2026, the Department of State ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and U.S. government employee family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to safety risks.

Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area.

U.S. government employees working in Saudi Arabia require special authorization from Chief of Mission to use any airport in Saudi Arabia following recent missile and UAV attacks on airports in the Kingdom.

King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh announced a partial reopening as of October 25 for domestic flights and some international flights operated by national carriers. A limited number of flights normally based at RUH are operating out of Qassim-based Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz International Airport (ELQ).

Operations at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED) are operational with some delays and cancellations.

Operations at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam (DMM) are operational with some delays and cancellations.

U.S. citizens should be aware of potential attacks on airports, airspace closures, flight cancellations, and travel disruptions.  Please take extreme caution if you choose to use airports in Saudi Arabia.  We recommend checking your flight departure status directly with the airline and with the airport.
