Intercession on SermonAudio

We continue our study of The Lord's Prayer today. Our goal is to know God, we will consider the saints who pray and why they pray. Here our focus is on the person (subject) who is praying and the reasons for prayer (circumstances). Some of these reasons include: adoration, confession, desperation, guidance, confirmation, trepidation, comfort, intercession, petition, and obedience. Old Testament: 1...

This sermon explores Psalm 110 as the supreme Messianic Psalm, presenting it as a prophetic depiction of the coronation of Jesus Christ.

ARTICLE 8 - It is not by the merits or strength of man, but by the free mercy of God that man does not totally fall away from God and perish. Man, left to himself would surely perish eternally, but God never deserts His chosen ones nor revokes His eternal purpose. Thus it is not in consequence of their own merits or strength, but of God's free mercy, that they neither totally fall from faith and g...

We meditate on the significance of Christ's final day, contrasting the human tendency toward panic or practicality with Jesus' purposeful fulfillment of Scripture. Jesus' death was not merely an end, but the commencement of His ongoing intercession and shepherding of His people. In that last day, Christ instituted the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of the New Covenant, the satisfaction of divine w...

The sermon emphasizes that effective prayer begins with acknowledging the greatness and majesty of God, rather than focusing solely on personal needs.

The speaker urges...

The preacher emphasizes that this approac...

General Summary of Main Points • Christ's unique person as the God-Man grounds a priesthood and glory no creature can attain; He ministers in the true, heavenly tabernacle and reigns as priest-king at the Father's right hand. • Earthly priests and sacrifices are copies and shadows; Jesus offers Himself and, through His ascension, conducts the necessary eternal intercession in heaven. • The ascensi...

Jesus Christ entered into the Most Holy Place, and this is NOT speaking of the Holy of Holies in the earthly tabernacle, NOR of the Holiest Place of the temple… this speaks of Him entering into the very throne room of the Majesty on High and stepping before the actual seat of His Mercy!!

Behind the iconic narrative of Jonathan Edwards' legendary sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" lies a far more intense, forgotten historical reality: the day Edwards lost control of his pulpit.

Pastor Mark Hogan taught from Psalm 110:5–7, defending commentator Matthew Henry's claim that the Messiah's return in devastating judgment is "pure gospel," since Scripture makes judgment integral to the good news itself (Romans 2:16, Acts 17, John 5—Christ as the ordained Judge). He traced the warrior-Messiah through Genesis 49's lion of Judah, Numbers 24's star from Jacob crushing the nations, a...
