Christ Reformed Baptist Church

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not merely a miraculous event—it is the divine declaration that the work of salvation is complete. In Romans 4:23–25, Paul shows that just as righteousness was credited to Abraham through faith, so it is credited to all who believe in the God who raised Jesus from the dead. Christ was delivered over because of our transgressions, bearing the full weight of our s...

As Jesus approaches Jerusalem, He reveals with unmistakable clarity the true purpose of His mission. While the disciples anticipate glory and positions of honor, Christ speaks of suffering, rejection, and death. He is not moving toward a throne as they expect, but toward a cross. In Mark 10:45, Jesus declares that He came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. T...

Isaiah 53:4–6 presents one of the clearest declarations of the gospel in all of Scripture, revealing Jesus Christ as the substitute for sinners. The prophet shows that the suffering of the Servant was not for His own sin, but for the sins of His people. Christ bore our grief, carried our sorrows, was pierced for our transgressions, and crushed for our iniquities. His suffering was not accidental,...

Matthew 2:13–23 reveals that from the very beginning of His life Jesus faced opposition from a hostile world. Warned in a dream, Joseph fled with Mary and the child Jesus to Egypt to escape Herod's murderous intent. When Herod realized the magi had not returned, his rage led to the slaughter of the children in Bethlehem, fulfilling the sorrow described by the prophet Jeremiah. Yet even in tragedy...

Matthew 2:1–12 reveals the identity of Jesus as the true King and exposes the different ways people respond to Him. The magi come from the east seeking the One born King of the Jews, showing that even in His infancy Christ is drawing the nations to Himself. Herod responds with fear and hostility because the true King threatens his throne. The chief priests and scribes respond with indifference; th...

Matthew's account of Christ's birth moves us from royal lineage to royal mission. Jesus is not merely the promised Son of David—He is the Savior sent to deliver His people from their sins. In a moment marked by scandal and uncertainty, God reveals that Mary's child is conceived by the Holy Spirit, fulfilling the prophecy that a virgin would bear a Son called Immanuel—God with us. This miraculous i...

Matthew begins his Gospel with a genealogy—and in doing so, he announces more than a family record. He proclaims a King. In Matthew 1:2–17 we trace the royal bloodline of Jesus Christ from Abraham to David, through the collapse of kings and the darkness of exile, down to Joseph and Mary—until the promised Christ appears. Along the way, Matthew refuses to sanitize the story: sinners, scandals, Gent...

This introductory sermon to the Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the promised King whose authority frames the entire message of the book. Beginning with Matthew 1:1, which declares Jesus as the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, the Gospel establishes His rightful claim to the throne of God's eternal kingdom and His mission to bring blessing to all nations. The sermon walks through Mat...

Exodus ends where redemption always intends to go: not merely with a people freed from bondage, but with God dwelling in their midst. In Exodus 40, Yahweh commands His tabernacle to be set up and consecrated according to His Word (vv. 1–16). Moses obeys with humble precision—"just as Yahweh commanded" (vv. 17–33)—yet the summit comes when God Himself descends: the cloud covers the tent of meeting...

As winter weather descended on South Carolina we were unable to safely meet in person on this Lord's Day, However, we still gathered online and had brief devotionals from our two-Elder Candidates and our Pastor. Join as we look at passages from Psalm, Matthew and Acts that all tie together with the truth that salvation is found in Christ Alone!!

Exodus 35–39 reveals the ordered life of God's redeemed people. After reconciliation, the Lord restores His worship and reestablishes a pattern for faithful living: first, God calls His people to rest in Him, setting aside self and delighting in the Lord. From that rest flows the second marker, willing devotion, as hearts stirred by God bring freewill offerings with joy rather than coercion. Third...

This sermon walks us through Exodus 34:28–35, where Moses descends from Sinai with the restored tablets and a face shining with reflected glory. That radiance, which terrifies Israel and must be veiled, reveals the weight of God's holiness and the limits of the Old Covenant—a true glory, yet fading and condemning. Drawing on 2 Corinthians 3, the message shows how Moses serves as a signpost to Chri...

This message from Exodus 34 confronts us with the truth that reconciliation with God reshapes the entirety of life. True joy is not found in fleeting circumstances, but in belonging to the God who redeems, dwells with, and orders His people. Following Israel's covenant renewal, God immediately establishes rhythms of worship, obedience, holiness, and rest—revealing that grace does not abolish respo...

This sermon examines how the first advent of Christ secures the work that will be completed at His second coming—namely, the preparation of His Bride in holiness. Drawing from Zechariah's prophecy, Ezekiel and Jeremiah's promises of inward transformation, and Peter's exhortation to holy living, the message emphasizes that obedience is not a requirement for salvation but a result produced by the go...

This message explores the meaning of the peace announced at Christ's birth, showing that true peace is reconciliation between God and His people. Scripture reveals that God is pleased with those who live by faith, yet humanity is naturally unfaithful, raising the question of how the unfaithful bride can be accepted by a holy Husband. Isaiah 61 gives the answer — the Bridegroom, Christ, comes to pr...

The sermon presents a theological and pastoral vision of the church as the unified, living body of Christ, grounded in Ephesians 4 and reinforced by broader biblical teaching. At its heart, the church is defined not by culture, politics, tradition, or personal preference, but by a shared union with Christ through faith, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the truth of Scripture, which unites believer...

This sermon presents a profound theological reflection on the incarnation of Christ as the pivotal moment in God's eternal redemptive plan, framing Christmas not merely as a celebration of a historical birth but as the fulfillment of a divine covenant designed from the foundation of the world. Centered on John 3:26–30, it unfolds the metaphor of Christ as the bridegroom and the church as His bride...

This sermon traced the question posed in Ezekiel and echoed in 2 Peter: "How should we then live?" In Exodus 34, God demonstrates that reconciliation begins with His sovereign work—He redeems, restores, and renews His covenant with Israel. From that foundation, God instructs His people to live in obedience, tear down idolatry, remain distinct from the world, and worship Him rightly. These commands...

Exodus 34:1-9 reveals the glory of God as He declares His own name before Moses: merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, forgiving sin yet remaining perfectly holy. The restored tablets served as both a mark of Israel's failure and a sign of divine mercy. Our past, like theirs, reminds us not of shame but of grace. God's forgiveness does not erase His holin...

Moses' plea, "Show me Your glory," reveals the longing of every redeemed heart—to know the living God in His holiness, goodness, sovereignty, and name. Yet sinful man cannot behold unmediated glory and live. Thus God hid Moses, pointing forward to Christ, the true and better Mediator. In Him the glory that once killed now gives life, full of grace and truth. The glory Moses glimpsed, believers beh...

This sermon reveals that the distinguishing mark of God's people is His gracious presence among them. Through Moses' intercession in Exodus 33, we see that God's grace both separates His people from the world and sustains them in their pilgrimage. Grace is not a sentiment but the sovereign power of God that saves, sanctifies, and secures His elect. The people of God are distinguished not by their...

This sermon sets Bunyan's "Valley of the Shadow of Death" beside Exodus 33:1–11 to show that God's presence is found outside the camp of comfort and compromise. Israel mourns at a distance while Moses seeks the Lord where He may be found. There God speaks "as a man speaks to his friend," revealing that special revelation is not mere information but a summons to draw near through a mediator. For us...

This sermon draws from Exodus 33:1–11 to reveal the tension between God's faithfulness and man's rebellion. Though God promises to lead Israel to the land, He declares He will not dwell among them because of their sin. Yet even in judgment, His mercy remains. The people's sorrow over His absence illustrates the necessity of true repentance. The message calls believers to examine whether they treas...

In Exodus 32:30–35, Moses intercedes for a people under judgment, offering himself as atonement but finding that he cannot bear their guilt. Only Christ, the true Mediator, could be made sin for us and satisfy the justice of God. Though Israel was spared from destruction, their sin still brought temporal consequence, reminding us that forgiveness does not erase accountability. Yet in God's mercy,...

This sermon confronts us with the piercing question, "Who is on the Lord's side?" From the shattered tablets to the burning idol, Exodus 32 reveals both the gravity of sin and the necessity of decisive allegiance to God. Like Israel, we face a world of false worship and competing voices, yet Christ alone fulfilled the covenant we have broken and now calls us to repent and believe. One day He will...
