Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 29 | Lord’s Supper 2

In this sermon we compare and contrast four major views on the Lord’s Supper. We also discuss the Reformed view of “real presence” or “spiritual presence.” Scripture Lesson: Matthew 26:17-30 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.supper202-23-14.mp3

James 2:14-26 | Faith and Works

James teaches that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. This seems like a direct contradiction to Paul’s teaching that a person is justified by grace through faith and not by works of the Law. In this sermon we clear up this apparent contradiction. Old Testament Lesson: Genesis 22:1-19 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/faithandworks02-23-14.mp3

Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 28 | The Lord’s Supper

This is an introductory sermon on the Lord’s Supper. In this sermon and in the following sermons you’ll see that the Lord’s Supper is far more than just a remembrance of what Christ did on the cross. Scripture Lesson: 1 Cor. 10:16, 17; 11:23-26 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.thelordssupper02-16-14.mp3

James 2:8-13 | Mercy

James in this passage argues that Christians must not be selective in their obedience to the Law. This point leads nicely to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Old Testament Lesson: Leviticus 19:9-18 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.mercy02-16-14.mp3

Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 27 | Infant Baptism

The Bible commands believers to baptize their infants and children. In this sermon we examine the salient passages of Scripture that make this crystal clear. Scripture Lesson: Colossians 2:6-15 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.infantbaptism02-09-14.mp3

James 2:1-7 | Rich Man, Poor Man

James urges the church not to evaluate the worth of people in the church according to the standards of the world but to the standards of God. James’ heavy emphasis on the Law of God is relieved by the Gospel of God, which compels interest in God’s standards. Old Testament Lesson: Leviticus 19:15 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.richmanpoorman02-09-14.mp3

Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 26 | On Baptism

Baptism signifies and seals the promise of being washed with the blood and Spirit of Christ. Scripture Lessons: Romans 6:1-5, 1 Peter 3:18-22 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.onbaptism02-02-14.mp3

James 1:19-27 | Doing the Word

Obedience to the Word of God is a sign of true religion. But no one is very obedient to the Word of God. In this sermon we discuss how to handle this situation. Old Testament Lesson: Jeremiah 31:31 -34 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.doingtheword02-02-14.mp3
