This week’s sermon with Pastor Keith Aguila – The Kingdom of God: Proper Rule - The Scepter is Given. Jesus came to fulfill the righteousness that we could not, then gives us that righteousness.

Why did Jesus have to be made lower than the angels like us?

Please note: We had technical difficulties, which we hope to fix in future. Our first livestream stopped streaming about 20 minutes in, and we didn't know it. Then we tried to livestream the in-person Service. There are focus issues until about 24 minutes into the video. You need to turn your sound up really loud to hear it, as we also had sound issues. And the display screen was too small so the slides are not always readable. However, the message is there, and we hope you enjoy the message and the worship of our Lord in song. May God bless you.
