Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Articles 8-10 | The earnest call of the Gospel

(25:45) Some have said that the doctrine of reprobation calls the sincerity of gospel preaching into question. The Scriptures are clear, however, that reprobation does not call the the sincere call of the gospel into question. The parable of the sower is an interesting example of what the Reformed mean by sincere gospel preaching and […]

Exodus 26:1-37 | God dwells with man

(32:19) When God dwells in the Tabernacle among Israel it becomes clear that God is actually separate from His people and this separation is overcome by sacrifice in the Tabernacle. The design of the Tabernacle and the sacrifices therein also point to the final sacrifice of Christ. Sermon Text: Exodus 26:1-37 New Testament Text: Hebrews […]

Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Article 7 | The change in the revelation of the Gospel

(24:08) Why was the Gospel vested exclusively in Israel for a time and then preached throughout the world to every nation? The answer has to do with the Mosaic Covenant and how Jesus fulfills it. Sermon Text: Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Article 7 Support Text: Ephesians 1:3-14

Exodus 24 | The sealing of the covenants

(32:06) The sealing of the Mosaic Covenant through Moses typifies the sealing of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Sermon Text: Exodus 24 New Testament Text: Hebrews 9:11-28

Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Articles 4-6 | Nature and Law can’t save you

(27:08) The light of nature, as in what is known in the creation, and the Law of God cannot save you; only the Gospel can. Sermon Text: Canons of Dort, Heads of Doctrine, 3 & 4, Articles 4-6 Scripture Lesson: Romans 1:16-22; 2:12-16

Exodus 20:22-23:33 | Why do we need the Law?

(38:13) One must understand what the Mosaic Covenant is in order rightly to interpret the Old Testament and the New Testament as well as to understand salvation. The Mosaic Covenant, a covenant of works, was established in order to demonstrate the need for Christ who would work to obey the Law in your place for […]

Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Articles 1-3 | Total depravity

(27:49) Total depravity is the biblical doctrine that people are sinful in every aspect of their being, which renders them unable to choose God or please Him. The only hope any person has is the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit through the preaching of the Gospel. Sermon text: Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & […]

Exodus 20:1-17 | The Ten Commandments

(33:01) Many people argue that the Ten Commandments should be posted in our schools and courtrooms. But how many of these same people understand the covenantal context of the Ten Commandments? Several biblical texts speak of the commandments as the “ten words,” which are the “words of the covenant” (Ex. 34:28). The commandments understood in […]

Bad reasons why you are not a Calvinist | part 5: how they read Ephesians 1 & 2

(13:42) That election is “in Christ” does not in any way overthrow the idea that the Father’s election of His people is sovereign, personal, fixed, definite, and individual.
