A righteous versus wicked conflict permeates Scripture from Genesis to modern times. Through Psalm 37, we see how the wicked plot against God's people with drawn swords and bent bows. Yet despite this hostility, the righteous are assured of God's protection and ultimate victory. The sermon examines this spiritual warfare and its implications for believers today—an exposition of Psalm 37:12-15.

Jeff Miller explores how servant leadership differs radically from worldly power structures in God's kingdom. Through Mark 10:35-45, he reveals Jesus' counter-cultural teaching that true greatness comes through sacrificial service to others. By examining Christ's ultimate example of servant leadership in God's kingdom, believers learn that the path to greatness requires becoming servants and slaves to all.

In Jeremiah 23:1-8, God makes promises that reveal His love for His people. Despite Israel's apostasy and the failure of their kings, God promises to provide a shepherd king from David's line who will care for and rule over His people in the land. This shepherd king is none other than Jesus Christ, the righteous branch, who fulfills these prophecies. He is the Lord our righteousness, who secures salvation for all who trust in Him by His perfect life and death. The birth of Christ is the provision of God's love - a Savior, Shepherd, and King.
