Victory Celebration
The King's Victory
April 11, 2020
Rev. Gabe Sylvia
The sermon celebrates Christ's resurrection as our present victory, uses Psalm 23 to show Jesus as our shepherd who guides, restores, and prepares an honored table for his people, and calls listeners to repent, believe, and bear hope to the world.
Summary
Every Sunday—and every day—Christians celebrate the victory of Christ, a victory made real now by his resurrection; Psalm 23 illustrates what that victory looks like in daily life: a shepherd who leads, restores, protects, and sits with us in both ease and trial. The Lord prepares an intimate, honored table for his people as a sign of celebration and provision, and the sermon urges repentance and faith so we may share this hope with a needy world and live as those already guaranteed the spoils of Christ's triumph.
