Numbers 8:5-26 | Substitution

May 27, 2013 – 7:19 pm

The substitution of the Levites for the people of Israel demonstrates God’s love for His people and points to the substitutionary work of Christ. New Testament Lesson: John 3:16 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.substitution05-26-13.mp3

Numbers 8:1-4 | Preoccupation

May 20, 2013 – 9:14 pm

The golden lampstand in the Tabernacle symbolized the presence of God. Its light reflected the wonders of God, something worthy to be preoccupied with. The problem is, Christians are often preoccupied with the wrong things to their disappointment and frustration. In this sermon we discuss why God and His Christ are far more compelling than […]

Belgic Confession, article 35, part 2 | Fencing the Lord’s Table

May 14, 2013 – 8:35 pm

The historic practice of most churches has been to “fence” the Lord’s Supper. That is, the minister must offer an invitation to partake of the Lord’s Supper only to those who are worthy. The worthy are those Christians, wretched sinners that they are, identified as belonging to true churches. All of this must be explained […]

Numbers 7 | More Blessing

May 14, 2013 – 8:22 pm

The biblical pattern of blessing is this: God blesses His people, His people respond out of gratitude, which leads to more blessings. Of course we must be clear what blessing is. New Testament Lesson: Romans 12:1-2 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.moreblessing05-12-13.mp3

Belgic Confession, article 35 | The Lord’s Supper

May 6, 2013 – 7:24 pm

This sermon is about what the Lord’s Supper is. Surprisingly many people just think it’s a memorial. It’s actually much more than that. Scripture Lesson: Matthew 26:17-30 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.thelordssupper05-05-13.mp3

Numbers 6:22-27 | Blessed

May 6, 2013 – 7:11 pm

Many people today use the word “blessed.” Typically the word is used to describe something good that happens like the acquisition of a new shiny gadget. This is not really what the Bible is talking about when the word “blessed” is used. It has a far deeper meaning. New Testament Lesson: Galatians 3:7-14 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.blessed05-15-13.mp3
