Christmas Service in Olivet Centre Oceania: Grace Reigns through Righteousness Leading to Eternal Life
On December 25, 2024, members of Olivet Centre Oceania gathered to celebrate the immeasurable love of God during the Christmas service, commemorating the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. The service featured heartfelt worship and a profound sermon delivered by Pastor Faith Yang.
Drawing from Romans 5:11-21, Pastor Yang preached a sermon titled "Grace Reigns through Righteousness Leading to Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The message highlighted the limitless grace of God, which, through the righteousness of Christ, offers eternal life to all who believe. The congregation was led to reflect deeply on the true meaning of Christmas—a celebration of God's redeeming love and the salvation given through His Son.
The sermon explored the "Theory of Representation," grounding it in both Old and New Testament passages. It explained the spiritual connection and influence of Adam’s sin and Christ’s righteousness, as well as the resulting curses and blessings. Pastor Yang addressed contemporary challenges in understanding how Adam’s sin continues to affect humanity today and how the righteousness of Jesus Christ, established 2,000 years ago, is imparted to believers. The theological depth of the message offered clarity and inspiration, urging attendees to embrace the transformative power of Christ’s righteousness.
This special service served as a poignant reminder of the hope, joy, and peace found in Jesus Christ and called believers to live as witnesses of His grace and righteousness.
May the message of this Christmas continue to inspire hearts to draw nearer to the Lord and to walk boldly in the light of His grace.
