The Prophet

Deuteronomy 18:15-19
When Moses knew his time on earth was drawing to a close, he prophesied the coming of a prophet who would speak God’s words to His people–one we must heed. As usual, God does more than we expect. He doesn’t just send a prophet, He sends His Son. Jesus not only speaks God’s words, but shows us how we should heed–obey–God. He also makes provision for us before He leaves earth, just like Moses did, so that we would not be left alone again.

A Gospel Farewell

Philippians 1:3-12
There was a strong relationship between the Philippian church and the apostle Paul. In this passage, he speaks from his heart to them and reveals that the bond between them is rooted in the gospel of Jesus. In his final sermon at EMBC, Pastor Mitch draws upon Paul’s words to address the church. Likewise, their relationship has been rooted in the soil of the gospel. Using Paul’s five statements in this passage, he reminds the church at East Madison that God will be faithful to finish the work he has begun.
