In this sermon titled "Give it me," Greg Elmquist addresses the believer's life as one characterized by the paradox of rest and struggle in faith, primarily through the lens of Hebrews 12 and the narrative of David in 1 Samuel 21:8-9. Elmquist emphasizes that while believers rest in Christ’s finished work, they are simultaneously engaged in a race against sin, particularly addressing the sin of unbelief that so easily besets them. He draws on Hebrews 12:1-2, which encourages believers to look to Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith, highlighting the need for divine sustenance and support. The critical moment from 1 Samuel illustrates David's reliance on God, symbolized by his request for a weapon, paralleling the believer's need for the Word of God as their defense against sin. The sermon underscores the necessity of seeking Christ and his Word as the ultimate source of hope and strength amid life's trials, reinforcing key Reformed doctrines of total depravity and God's grace.

“Oh Lord, there's none like that. Give it me.”
“The evidence of God's grace in salvation is our desire to have Christ, to have his word.”
