We take a look at questions 35 and 36 of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Knowing the spiritual dangers of the sin of self-righteousness, Paul warns the Philippians to renounce what lies behind and press on toward their eternal reward in Christ Jesus.

We take a look at question 35 of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Christ's humbling Incarnation, Death, and subsequent vindication in the Ascension by the Father not only shows His glory, but demonstrates for us the manner of life which pleases God.

We take a look at questions 33 and 34 of the Heidelberg Catechism.

We take a look at the proclaimed Kingdom, from Christ's ascension until His second coming.

We take a look at questions 31 and 32 of the Heidelburg Catechism.

Knowing the struggle which the Philippian saints will endure, Paul demonstrates the self-sacrificial love in the imitation of Christ which works for the joy of others. Only by understanding the glory of our eternal reward with Jesus Christ can we be willing to suffer for His sake, serving as living witnesses of the grace of God to our neighbors.

Paul's pastoral letter to the Philippian church reveals the fruit of a heart transformed by the gracious love of Jesus Christ. As disciples of Christ, we ought to demonstrate the same manner of love and affection for our fellow brothers, as we imitate Paul who imitated Christ.

We examine questions 29 and 30 of the Heidelburg Catechism.

Throughout the Scriptures, God demonstrates His calling upon Christian husbands to imitate Christ's death - His powerful, efficacious love which transforms His Bride, the Church. Understanding the privileges and responsibilities of holy matrimony, Christian men must use God's grace in faith-filled obedience, living and acting in accord with His promises.

Through the cross of Christ, believers are delivered from bondage to sin in order to walk according to the leading of the Spirit as the true sons of God.

As we examine Luke 15:11-32 we see the prodigious love that the Father has for all His children. This passage tells us how we must respond to that love and grace, and also gives us an example of how not to respond to His love and grace.

In Ezekiel's vision, Yahweh promises to bring new life to His wayward people by the Spirit which comes through prophecy - the preaching of His word.

Providence is God's preservation in creation continuing through concurrence with His creation toward the government of all His creation to His appointed end. Therefore we can be patient and thankful while trusting and resting in His goodness.

We take a look at the Present kingdom, starting at the advent of Christ, and continuing until His second coming.

Part nine of the Operation Reconciliation series

Just before Jesus ascends into the heavens, He instructs His apostles to wait for the baptism of the Spirit, by Whom they proclaim His glorious Resurrection and Ascension. As disciples of the Lord Jesus, we therefore eagerly desire that God would grant us a greater measure of the Spirit, by whom we would walk in a manner worthy of our calling.

The Creeds of the Church Series, Part Ten

Who is Jesus? Why Do I Need to Receive Him? Do I Need to Exchange My Life?

We take a look at the Present kingdom, starting at the advent of Christ, and continuing until His second coming.

As Christ is about to lay down his life, He teaches His disciples to imitate His example of love at the cross. In the cross we see the loving union of obedience to the Father's will by laying His life down in love for God's people. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have received His perfect love, transforming our hearts to joyfully lay our lives down for others.

The Creeds of the Church Series, Part Nine

Being restored in Christ to the task of dominion, redeemed man must live in obedience to his Father and his Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our God has given to man His word - the Scriptures - a perfect and complete revelation of His nature, laws, salvation, and plan for creation. Man therefore can only obey His Lord in so far as he is informed and shaped according to that word.
