(31:33) You are often told that if you follow the checklist of approved behaviors and prohibitions articulated by the speaker, then you will be right with God, and therefore, saved. This is wrong on two counts. First, God saves sinners by grace, not by their works. Second, the call to righteousness for the Christian is […]

Belgic Confession Articles 8-9 | The Trinity
March 29, 2007 – 7:45 pm

Psalm 135 | Why you should praise the LORD
March 21, 2007 – 8:07 am
(31:58) Your praise of God must be specific — it must be addressed to the LORD, that is, Yahweh. Your praise must also be rooted in the correct reasons. The LORD deserves praise because He is the creator, sustainer and has redeemed Israel. Sermon Text: Psalm 135 New Testament Text: 1 Peter 2:1-12
Romans 12:3-8 | Humble and joyful service
March 19, 2007 – 4:23 pm
(36:27) We all see the disgrace paraded on TV where so-called “Christians†are busy denouncing this or that sin or sinner. They think this demonstrates their holiness, but actually it reveals their pride and self-righteousness. Loving service to the believing community, formed and guided by God’s written revelation, is what displays a growing sanctification worked […]
Romans 12:1-2 | Living sacrifice
March 13, 2007 – 10:14 pm
(32:12) Only after Paul has proclaimed the wonders of God’s grace in Election and Justification, does he now turn to Sanctification. Already hinted at, now he expounds the calling of the redeemed man to be a living sacrifice to God, a response of gratitude, being conformed to the mind of Christ his Savior. This is […]

March 13, 2007 – 10:07 pm
(28:32) The creation is sufficient to reveal the glory and existence of God but insufficient to reveal His gracious character. For that, you need the Word of God, which speaks of Christ. Sermon Text: Psalm 19 New Testament Text: Romans 1:16-32
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 6): Preaching
March 13, 2007 – 10:06 pm
(27:24) There is much confusion regarding what preaching is. In addition, there are many self-proclaimed preachers, teachers and Bible study leaders who are not rightly called and authorized. We need to reexamine what the Bible says about preaching. This sermon defines preaching as a proclamation of the Word of God by an authorized man; a […]
Romans 11:25-36 | In this way all Israel will be saved
March 6, 2007 – 9:54 pm
(32:53) Throughout the New Testament the Apostles declare that the prophesies of the Old Testament are now being fulfilled in the Christian Church. In Romans 9:6 we are told not all Israel is Israel, and in chapters 9-11 Paul is making the argument that God is calling in Jews and Gentiles to be the true […]
Psalm 29 | The power and glory of God
March 6, 2007 – 9:49 pm

In this sermon we’ll understand how Yahweh is the God of power and glory. Sermon Text: Psalm 29 New Testament Text: Hebrews 1:1-4
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 5): Predestination
March 6, 2007 – 9:41 pm
(26:59) Although many people will deny the proper understanding of Predestination, the correct view is clear: Predestination is a decree of God in which He has elected some to eternal life and has passed over the rest with His grace. This doctrine while mysterious is also the basis for our praise. Scripture Lesson: Romans 9:1-29
