(27:32) The Canons of Dort is a response document to the “Remonstrance,” which was an attack on the Reformed Faith in the 17th century. The Canons do not represent the “Five Points of Calvinism” but rather five heads of doctrine clarifying what the Reformed believe. The doctrine is grand and comforting. This catechetical sermon gives […]

Exodus 5:1-6:1 | What to do in times of affliction
May 19, 2007 – 1:01 pm
(34:24) Sermon text: Exodus 5:1-6:1 New Testament Text: Luke 4:1-13 Moses and Aaron’s sin in this passage is that they listened to Pharaoh’s voice instead of God’s voice. Christians sin in the same way today when they listen to the voice of the world, the flesh and the devil. In times of affliction, Christians must […]
Acts 4:1-31 | Courage, confidence, boldness
May 11, 2007 – 8:25 pm
(32:42) There’s no good reason for the political-religious temple establishment to oppose the gracious power of Christ at work through the apostles. But they do, so there’s no reason why the church should expand, given the strength of its opponents. But it does, so we must conclude that Christ’s expansion of His kingdom is relentless. […]
Bad reasons why you are not a Calvinist | part 1
May 11, 2007 – 8:19 pm
(37:48) We present a new series discussing the Calvinism/Arminianism debate by reviewing the new book titled “Why I Am Not A Calvinist.” Today, we alert the discerning reader to some less than helpful analyses and introductions to the topic by the book’s authors.
Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 13): The Purpose and Obligations of the Church
May 11, 2007 – 7:58 pm
(26:13) The purpose of the church is to gather, defend and preserve God’s elect through the ministry of Word, Sacraments and Discipline. If this purpose is clear in our churches so will the obligations be of its members and officers. Scripture Lesson: Hebrews 10:19-25
Exodus 4:18-31 | God’s anger appeased
May 11, 2007 – 7:53 pm
(32:16) This passage contains one of the most unusual stories in the Old Testament: Moses’ wife, Zipporah, circumcises their son in order to appease God’s anger. This story reveals the significance of circumcision and, in the New Testament context, the significance of Baptism. Both are signs of the Covenant of Grace, which God commands must […]
Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 12): Reformed Worship
May 5, 2007 – 7:47 pm
(27:28) Many churches today ask what people like in worship and are only too glad to give them what they want. This is the wrong question, however. The right question to ask when designing the worship service is: what does God like? Reformed churches design the worship service according to the “Regulative Principle,” which means […]
Exodus 3:1-4:17 | The comfort of God’s name
May 5, 2007 – 7:39 pm
(37:53) In this passage God calls Moses to liberate the people of Israel from Egypt. It’s a fascinating story of God speaking to Moses and Moses resisting God’s call. In the midst of this story, God reveals the significance of His name when He says, “I am who I am.” Sermon Text: Exodus 3:1-4:17 New […]
Romans 13:11-14 | The day is at hand
May 5, 2007 – 7:31 pm
(31:13) The Christian lives in light of the coming of the Day of the Lord, when God comes in glory to render judgment and blessing. At the same time, the believer is a citizen of and derives his identity from this day of glory, leading to the call by the Apostle to live now as […]
