John urges believers not to accept every spiritual claim. We must first test the spirits by whether they confess Jesus Christ truly came in the flesh. False teachers reject apostolic truth about Christ. Those who belong to God listen to the apostles' teaching. We consider 5 tests that John gives to help Christians discern truth from error. We are assured the Spirit of God is greater than the spiri...

Hosea 5:13-15 (KJV) When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. 15 I will go and return to my place, till they...

This exposition examines the Reformed doctrine of predestination, specifically focusing on the Westminster Confession of Faith's treatment of God's sovereign decree regarding the non-elect and the assurance of the elect. The speaker emphasizes that God's withholding of mercy is an act of justice that glorifies His power, while the extension of mercy to the elect is purely of grace, stripping belie...

This sermon addresses the common objection that a church confession undermines the supreme authority of Scripture, arguing instead that a confession is a necessary aid for understanding and applying biblical truth. By analyzing the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, the speaker demonstrates that the document explicitly affirms the Bible as the sole rule of faith and obedience, serving merely as a s...

Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on Matthew 6:13, explaining that temptation is an incitement to sin arising from Satan, our sinful flesh, and the world, not from God (James 1:13; Galatians 6:1). The petition does not ask never to encounter temptation—Jesus himself was led into the wilderness and warned his disciples to "watch and pray" in Gethsemane (Matthew 4; Matthew 26:41)—but asks God to preserve an...

This sermon explores the theological foundation of church authority, asserting that Christ is the supreme head of the body of believers, ruling through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. It distinguishes between Christ's subduing authority over the world and His nurturing, headship over the church, emphasizing that the primary goal of the local congregation is the sanctification of believers int...

Midweek Teaching Series- The Second London Baptist Confession, 1689 Chapter 25: Marriage Sections 3-4 "Lawfully and In the Lord" Pastor Bucky Erwin

The sermon explores the Reformed theological understanding of free will by examining the fourfold state of man: innocency, sin, grace, and glory. It argues that while human will is intrinsically free to choose according to one's nature, the fall into sin renders humanity unable to will spiritual good without divine intervention. The central message emphasizes that salvation is entirely God's work,...

This sermon examines the immediate human response to the Fall as recorded in Genesis 3, focusing on the progression of hiding from God. The central message argues that man's first instinct is to cover his sin with self-righteousness, symbolized by the fig leaves, rather than seeking divine grace. The text highlights how conscience, instead of leading to repentance, often drives individuals to flee...

Why does the psalmist cry "Hear this, all ye people" (Psalm 49:1) and then "give ear" (Psalm 49:1) in the same breath, and who is the ye? Read verse 5 and ask whether it begins with wherefore or with therefore, and whether a man can say he will not fear the days of evil. Then ask what the rich man who trusts in his wealth can pay for his brother's soul. "None of them can by any means redeem his br...

This sermon examines the identity of the 'man of sin' and the 'great apostasy' described in 2 Thessalonians 2, arguing that these prophetic figures refer specifically to the papal antichrist and the historical fall of the Church of Rome. The speaker supports this interpretation by citing the testimonies of Reformation leaders such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox, as well as the Westmi...
