Mount Pleasant Baptist - Sermons

The Spirit does not draw attention to himself, but makes the triune God present to Christ’s people and shines a holy spotlight on Jesus.

We conclude our Trinity section by connecting the Trinity and Christology, clarifying nature and person and identifying key heresies.

Jesus abides in his people through his Word, and his people abide in him by obeying it, bearing fruit to the Father’s glory.

Part 9 of 11: We continue the Trinity by seeing why the early church used careful language to defend Scripture and safeguard this doctrine.

Because Christ is risen, death is not the end for his people: he will raise us imperishable to share in the life of the world to come.

How can sinners draw near to a holy God? Only through the perfect sacrifice God himself provides, by whose blood we are accepted in his presence.

The King we need is not the one we would expect: Jesus is glorified by dying, and through his cross brings life to the world.

The way to God is not a path we find, but the Savior who goes by the cross to the Father and brings his people home.

Part 8 of 11: We begin the Trinity by defining nature and person, and seeing how God is one in essence and three in persons.

In washing his disciples’ feet, Jesus points to the cross where he cleanses his people and forms them into humble servants.

Part 7 of 11: We consider God’s infinity by studying His incomprehensibility and eternity—why God’s greatness is unsearchable and His life is not bound by time.

Jacob’s blessings point to the coming King from Judah, while Joseph’s death anticipates the exodus and God’s future redemption

Part 6 of 11: We study God’s moral perfections (holiness, goodness, truth, justice, jealousy, joy, and wrath) and how Scripture speaks of them truly yet analogically.

Untreated sin hardens hearts and corrupts worship, but God speaks in judgment and mercy, calling His people back to reverent obedience.

Part 5 of 11: We compare classical and modified impassibility, highlighting shared convictions and the risks of importing creaturely emotions into God.

God brings His people into Egypt according to His promise, securing their future and advancing His covenant plan beyond one lifetime.

Part 4 of 11: This session asks three questions: Does God depend on you? Does God change? Does God have passions? And why the gospel rests on God’s steadiness.

Part 3 of 11: We continue divine simplicity by seeing its biblical roots, the church’s historic witness, why it matters, and how to answer common objections.

Joseph forgives his brothers and confesses God’s sovereign hand, showing how human sin and divine purpose meet in saving grace.

Through careful testing, Joseph seeks evidence of changed hearts, setting the stage for reconciliation and forgiveness within the family of promise.

Part 2 of 11: We look at God’s spirituality, He is spirit, not bodily, and explore why God’s oneness means He has no parts and depends on nothing.

God works patiently through delay and waiting, raising Joseph at the right time to preserve life and carry His promise forward.

Part 1 of 11: We begin by asking why doctrine of God matters and how we can study him humbly through Scripture and the church.

Sustained by the Lord’s presence, Joseph chooses purity over prospects as God weaves even injustice into His unfolding plan of redemption.

In Judah’s sin and Tamar’s resolve, God preserves the royal line by grace, sustaining His promise until the true Son of Judah comes.
