Father, Forgive Them – Josias Hansen

March 5, 2017 Josias Hansen Christus Victor, Forgiveness, Freedom, God's Mercy Last Words

Josias expounds on Jesus’ powerful prayer from the cross for God to forgive those who abandoned, shamed, and tortured him. Within this short prayer, we can see the heart of God as being other-oriented, self-sacrificial, and enemy-loving. Furthermore, we discover that one of the most important dimensions of the atonement is that Jesus took on our sin and freed us from the kingdom of darkness which enslaves us to sin.

Freedom – Josias Hansen

December 11, 2016 Josias Hansen Advent, Christus Victor, Freedom, Spiritual Warfare Isaiah 9:4, Matthew 4 Hungry

For our third Sunday of Advent, Josias digs into the freedom the Israelites were craving from their national oppressors. They waited for the Messiah to come and triumph over all their nationalistic oppressors, but instead, Jesus provided the true freedom from their ultimate oppressor and broke their chains of sin and death through his life, death and resurrection. As we hunger for this true freedom, we can now experience Christ’s freedom in becoming the people God created us to be.
