We live surrounded by voices: feeds, influencers, experts, our own
restless hearts, all claiming to tell us what is true. Where do we find a word we can stake
our lives on? The Reformers answered: Scripture alone. And in Ephesians 1, Paul shows
us this is more than a rule about authority. God's word is "the gospel of your salvation,
"
and the Spirit seals those who believe it.
“Sola Sciptura” essentially grounds us in God’s
word as the one voice that doesn't just inform us, but is the very means by which God
saves us and holds us fast.

The Glory of Christ Is Our Salvation (Matthew 16:13-18; 21-23, 17:1-6)
When you ask the big question, who is Jesus? We as disciples of
Christ have different answers to this question. Here in this section of the gospels in
Matthew when Jesus asks about His identity to His disciples, Peter stood up and
confessed that Jesus is the Christ. The word Christ is Greek for Messiah in Hebrew. The
title Messiah is referred to the One chosen by God to rescue His people from the
bondage of slavery. We all have our own cross that we bear in this life as we toil and
labor under the sun. We sweat, bleed, work hard to achieve freedom from all potential
problems in this world. We usually see Jesus as the Messiah to rescue us from a deadline
at work, status in life, or a certain crisis at our home. We define who Jesus should be
based on our circumstances in life and we get upset with Him when He does not meet
our expectations. Here, in the gospel of Matthew, Jesus answers the question of who He
is and our response. Jesus answers that He is the Son of God and therefore our identity
in Christ is that we are children of God. Doesn’t a good father give enough good gifts to
his children? Let us see then how we truly see Jesus as our Messiah. Not for the sake of
earthly gifts but in terms of the salvation of our souls.

The Shepherd Who Brings Us Home (Numbers 27:12–23)
At the edge of the promised land, Moses is told to climb Mount
Abarim and view the country he has led Israel toward for forty years — and then to die
without entering it, the consequence of his unbelief at the waters of Meribah. It's a hard,
sobering moment. Yet Moses' response isn't self-pity; it's intercession. He asks God to
appoint someone to shepherd the people after him, "that the congregation of the LORD
may not be as sheep without a shepherd." God answers by commissioning Joshua —
publicly, before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, with Moses laying his
hands on him and transferring his authority. It's a real and gracious provision. But Joshua,
too, will one day die and hand the staff to someone else. As we close our series through
Leviticus and Numbers, this text leaves us asking: who is the shepherd who never has to
hand off the journey? Moses brought the people to the border. Joshua would lead them
in. But only Christ, the Good Shepherd, brings his people all the way home — and stays.
