(24:01) Christians repent and turn to God after falling into terrible sins but they do so only because God works repentance and preserves them. Sermon text: Canons of Dort, Head 5, Articles 7 & 8 Scripture Lesson: Romans 8:26-30

Hebrews 2:1-4 | Not adrift
October 31, 2007 – 6:35 pm
(27:46) The author of Hebrews warns that Christians can lose interest in the Gospel. One of the chief ways in which this may happen is by ignoring the preaching of the Word. Therefore, the author argues that Christians must pay much closer attention to the preaching of the Word so they won’t “drift away from […]
Canons of Dort, Head 5, Articles 4-6 | Falling into serious sin
October 23, 2007 – 4:18 pm
(29:15) Christians can and do fall into serious sin. King David, a man after God’s own heart, is an example. Not only did he commit adultery but he committed murder. But God forgave him and preserved him in his faith. So will God preserve Christians today when they fall — they will not fall so […]
Hebrews 1:5-14 | Christ rules
October 23, 2007 – 4:15 pm
(29:50) Jesus Christ can be trusted because not only is He superior to angels but He is superior to all creation. There is no need to worry, Christ rules. Sermon Text: Hebrews 1:5-14 Old Testament Text: Psalm 110
Belgic Confession Article 13 | How to Have Unspeakable Consolation
October 19, 2007 – 11:50 am
(37:21) Far from an abstract, irrelevant philosophical concept, the Bible’s teaching about the extent of God’s control is not only true but the only sure basis for any comfort in this trying life. Knowing and embracing God’s providence is the privilege and responsibility of all His creatures made in His image. Sermon text: Matthew 10:29-32 […]
Acts 5:14-42 | They Kept Right On Preaching Christ
October 19, 2007 – 11:35 am
(46:36) The apostles are arrested again, and this time they come close to receiving the death penalty. But Christ stamps out this attack on the advancement of His glorious gospel through an unlikely man. Sermon text: Acts 5:14-42
Hebrews 1:1-4 | The God who speaks
October 15, 2007 – 5:25 pm
(24:48) Many today say that God speaks to them personally. No. God’s written word states that God has spoken in the past to human prophets but in these last days He has spoken by His Son. The reason God speaks by His Son is to comfort poor sinners as they hear about the power, rule […]
Canons of Dort, Head 5, Articles 1-3 | Christians are sinners too
October 15, 2007 – 5:22 pm
(27:28) This sermon begins a series on the doctrine of the “Perseverance of the saints.” The Perseverance of the saints is the doctrine that God preserves His people in their salvation to the very end. The knowledge of the fact of sin helps Christians to know that their help comes from God and not from […]
Exodus 40 | The Tabernacle: a symbol of hope
October 15, 2007 – 5:22 pm
(32:13) God dwells in the Tabernacle with His pilgrim people as a sign that He will dwell with them forever in the new heaven and earth. Sermon Text: Exodus 40 New Testament Text: Revelation 21:1-4
Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Article 17 | Should you read your Bible?
October 15, 2007 – 5:19 pm
(30:10) Should you read your Bible? Yes. However, hearing the Word of God preached is more important. Scandal! Most today would say personal Bible reading is the priority and listening to sermons or “messages” is secondary. According to one historian, seminarians during the Reformation weren’t even allowed to read their Bibles until they were thoroughly […]
Bad Reasons Why You Are Not a Calvinist | part 7: more on their philosophical analysis
October 12, 2007 – 6:22 pm
(26:54) Part two of our response to the philosophical analysis section seeks to apply the famous Genesis 50 text to Walls’ range of options for understanding the nature of human freedom and God’s control. Our conclusion, again, is that the biblical data cannot support anything but the idea that God ordains and directs the free […]
Genesis 1:1-2 | Belgic Confession Article 12 | The Creation
October 12, 2007 – 3:30 pm
(35:07) Our magnificent God and Father created everything out of nothing as an arena to display His glorious majesty. Indeed, the King established and occupied His throne, the heavens and the earth. Sermon Text: Genesis 1:1-2 Belgic Confession Article 12
Acts 4:32 – 5:14 | Great Fear Seized the Church
October 12, 2007 – 3:18 pm
(34:11) The Lord strikes Ananias and Sapphira dead in a terrifying, immediate act of church discipline carried out by the Lord of Glory. This is the same God we worship today, though often times we (dangerously) don’t treat Him like it. Sermon Text: Acts 4:32 – 5:14
Canons of Dort, Heads 3 & 4, Article 16 | The will and intellect of non-Christians
October 4, 2007 – 6:03 pm
(29:46) The doctrine of total depravity does not mean that non-Christians have no will or intellect. On the contrary, Paul speaks of them as having a will and intellect that is radically opposed to God. When God works regeneration by the Spirit through the Word He makes the will alive. Not only does this doctrine […]
Exodus 34 | No more threats
October 4, 2007 – 6:00 pm
(35:11) Because of the nature of the Mosaic Covenant Israel lived under God’s threat. In fact Paul calls this covenant a “covenant of death and condemnation.” This is why Paul also compares and contrasts the Mosaic Covenant with the New Covenant, which has greater glory. For those in Christ in the New Covenant there is […]
