From Suffering to Salvation | Psalm 22 | The Cry That Echoed From the Cross
In this sermon on Psalm 22, Pastor Mark Groen unpacks the depth of David’s lament and how it prophetically foreshadows the suffering of Christ on the cross. We follow David from the anguish of feeling abandoned to the assurance of God's covenant faithfulness. Along the way, we are reminded that this Psalm is not just David’s cry—it is the cry of Jesus and the comfort of every believer who suffers. Through Christ, the cry of “Why have you forsaken me?” becomes a promise: “You will not be forsaken.” Join us in exploring how the gospel transforms sorrow into praise and leads us from suffering to salvation.
He Has Himself Suffered | Hebrews 2:5–18 | The Perfect Savior for a Real and Fallen World
In this sermon on Hebrews 2:5–18, Pastor Mark Groen explores the profound reality that Christ’s perfection came through suffering. The Son of God took on human flesh—not just to identify with us, but to save us. This is not abstract theology; it’s the real, embodied truth of our salvation. Jesus suffered for sinners, was crowned with glory through death, and now reigns as our merciful and faithful high priest. This message challenges us to reflect on the practical reality of the gospel: we are valued, we are redeemed, and we are called to live as those who belong to Christ.
