John 16:1-15 Lords Day 20

The sermon explores the theological tension between the believer's secure seal in the Holy Spirit and the reality of grieving the Holy Spirit by sinning. It argues that Christianity is not merely about moral performance but about a personal relationship with the indwelling God, where the believer's body serves as the temple of the Holy Spirit. The message emphasizes that sin, whether in thought, w...

This sermon examines the opening petitions of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, emphasizing that authentic prayer begins with a recognition of God's character rather than personal requests. The speaker highlights the theological tension of God being both imminent as a Father and transcendent as the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity. By analyzing the phrase "hallowed be thy name," the message...

Psalm 3:1-8 (KJV) A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.

LORD'S DAY 26 OF HOLY BAPTISM Question 70: What is it to be washed with the blood and Spirit of Christ? Answer: It is to receive of God the remission of sins, freely, for the sake of Christ's blood, which He shed for us by His sacrifice upon the cross; and also to be renewed by the Holy Ghost, and sanctified to be members of Christ, that so we may more and more die unto sin, and lead holy and unbl...

This sermon explores the paradoxical nature of the New Jerusalem, arguing that even the 'negatives' described in Revelation 21 are actually profound positives for the believer.

The preacher uses a past...

(AI Generated Summary) This sermon explores the imperative to reckon oneself dead to sin and alive to God, emphasizing that this theological truth must translate into practical holiness.

"Borrowed Bread — We Know a Man Who Can." The message centers on the truth that we know a Man who can—Jesus—and everything we have becomes useful, fruitful, and sufficient when surrendered into His hands. The feeding of the multitude shows that what appears small and ordinary in our hands can become extraordinary when given to Him. The storm reveals His authority over the natural world, and the de...

Hebrews 9:23–28 reminds us that Jesus did what no earthly priest could ever accomplish. In the Old Testament, priests repeatedly entered the earthly sanctuary with sacrifices, because sin required continual atonement. But Jesus offered Himself once and for all.
