Christ Reformed Baptist Church

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...

Exodus 32 reveals both the depth of human sin and the unchanging mercy of God. Israel's rebellion proves our total inability to save ourselves, yet Moses stands as a mediator, pleading for grace based on God's glory and covenant promises. His intercession foreshadows the greater work of Jesus Christ, who perfectly mediates between God and sinners through His sacrificial death and continual interce...

Israel's golden calf reveals the danger of a restless heart that forgets God and turns to idols. Like the church at Ephesus, we are called to remember, repent, and return to our first love. Though the world grows increasingly hostile to the truth, our greatest threat is a cold heart that compromises God's Word. Christ offers mercy to all who repent and trust in Him. Let us cling to His sufficient...

In this message we saw how the giving of the tablets of stone at Sinai testified to God's holiness, His will, and His covenant with His people. Written by the "finger of God," they revealed both the perfection of His law and the sinfulness of man, pointing us forward to Christ, the Word made flesh. In Him, the veil is removed, hearts of stone are replaced with hearts of flesh, and God's law is wri...

Deacon and Elder Candidate Daniel Nolker preaches on rejoicing in repentance from Psalm 32.

In Exodus 31:12–17, God commands Israel to keep the Sabbath as a sign of His covenant, a holy day set apart for rest and refreshment. This command pointed them to dependence upon God and served as a reminder of His role as Creator and Redeemer. For believers today, the Sabbath finds its fulfillment in the Lord's Day, when we gather to worship and rest in the finished work of Christ. The day is not...

This sermon from Exodus 31:1–11 highlights God's sovereign calling of Bezalel and Oholiab to build the Tabernacle. Their appointment demonstrates that God not only calls but also equips His servants with wisdom, discernment, and skill to fulfill His purposes. These men serve as a type of Christ, the true Builder of God's house, the Cornerstone of the church, and the only One worthy to ascend the h...

This sermon from Exodus 30:22–38 examines the holy anointing oil and salted incense, showing how they point to the person and work of Christ and the unifying, sanctifying ministry of the Holy Spirit. The oil's carefully measured spices symbolize aspects of Christ's perfection, bound together by the Spirit. The incense, salted as a sign of permanence, reflects the continual prayers of God's people...

This sermon explored the significance of the bronze laver in Exodus 30:17–21, emphasizing its connection to the believer's ongoing cleansing through God's Word. While the blood of Christ secures our justification, the water of the Word sanctifies and prepares us for fellowship with God. The laver teaches us that daily communion with the Lord requires continual washing from the defilements of the w...

This sermon from Exodus 30:11–16 explored the census and atonement price commanded by God, emphasizing that every Israelite, rich or poor, was to offer the same amount—a half-shekel—as a symbol of belonging to God. This atonement price served as a reminder of their redemption and pointed forward to Christ, whose precious blood is the true price for our salvation. We were reminded that Scripture is...

This sermon examined Exodus 30:1–10 and the significance of the golden altar of incense. It highlighted the altar's construction, purpose, and placement in the tabernacle as typological of Christ's mediation. Drawing from the example of Nadab and Abihu, it warned against worship that is unauthorized and self-willed. The message emphasized that true worship must be continual, grounded in the finish...

This sermon examines the ordination of Aaron and his sons, highlighting their seven-day consecration and the command to "keep the charge of Yahweh." It draws parallels between the priests' preparation and the believer's need for continual self-examination, repentance, and abiding in God's presence. Emphasizing the holiness required to approach God, it warns against cheap grace and calls for true o...

This sermon explores the covenantal significance of the priestly ordination meal in Exodus and its fulfillment in Christ. It highlights how God provided priests to mediate for His people, foreshadowing Jesus as our eternal High Priest. The fellowship meal ratified the covenant, pointing to the Lord's Supper, where believers remember Christ's sacrificial death. We are called to approach the Table w...

This sermon examines the final stages of the priestly ordination process from Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8, emphasizing the significance of the blood ritual applied to the ear, hand, and foot of Aaron and his sons. Each element symbolized their complete consecration— ears to hear God's Word, hands to serve, and feet to walk in His ways. These rituals pointed forward to the perfect sacrifice of Christ...

This sermon explores the burnt offering in Exodus 29 and its fulfillment in Christ, highlighting the call to wholehearted devotion in response to God's saving work. Just as the priests offered a ram entirely consumed by fire, believers are called to present their whole lives as living sacrifices—fully consecrated to God. Salvation begins with justification but leads to a life of sanctified obedien...

his sermon explores the consecration and ordination of the Old Testament priesthood, focusing on the necessity of blood sacrifice as seen in Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8. Though the priests were washed, clothed, and ordained, they were not fit to serve until blood was shed—foreshadowing the atoning work of Christ. The sermon emphasizes that outward righteousness is insufficient without inward cleansi...

This sermon explores the ordination of the Levitical priesthood in Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8, highlighting the seriousness of preparation, cleansing, clothing, and anointing for service to God. These Old Testament rituals point forward to the perfect fulfillment found in Christ, our Great High Priest. Believers today, though not Levitical priests, are called to present themselves as living sacrifi...
