Matthew Everhard

Today in this second part, we continue the saga of Daniel and the Lion's Den. Here, we take a look at Daniel's defiant prayer in 6:10. His prayer out the window towards Jerusalem is simultaneously a prayer of obedience to God and an overt act of rebellion against the pagan state. Daniel is willing to risk everything to be entirely compliant to God as over against the unbelieving powers tha...

Today, we begin one of the most iconic passages in all of Scripture. Daniel in the Lions' Den. Here, we must guard ourselves against the danger of familiarity, that we already know all that the Lord will speak to us through this text. In fact, this text speaks powerfully about Daniel's character, the power of the Holy Spirit, the danger of envy and political power, and the encroachment of...

In this episode, we consider the history of the Scottish Covenanters, the Presbyterian martyrs. In this 40-minute lecture, I will provide you with their history, their theological convictions, their sufferings under times of persecution, and their unique perspective on civil government.

In this episode, we consider the end of the saga of Nebuchadnezzar. To this point, it has not been clear if the Babylonian King is truly converted. In this message from the end of chapter four, we try to make some summary observations about the assurance of grace.

In this sermon, we consider the "chopping down" of Nebuchadnezzar's pride by the severe mercies of God. The Lord has many sharp axes at His disposal and He will use them to destroy the pride of men. Here, we continue to marvel at what the Lord did to bring the King of Babylon to submission.

In this episode, we continue our sermon series through the book of Daniel. Here we encounter the evil King's second dream in which he views himself as a gigantic tree displaying his poisonous characteristic of pride.

In this message, we continue our series in the book of Daniel. Today we come to the very brink of the Fiery Furnace as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are asked to testify as to whether or not they will worship the golden idol.

In this message, we look at Nebuchadnezzar's construction of a huge golden idol, which ostensibly represents himself in his narcissistic glory. We consider the nature of idols, how they are windows into our own souls, unfortunately, and how we can abolish them in preference for a greater glory.

In this sermon, we continue our expository series through the book of Daniel. Here, Nebuchadnezzar shows what appears to be some evidence of saving grace; but I argue the opposite, that the Tyrant King was not yet savingly wrought upon by God's grace. We consider five operations that are not saving; and three that are.

In this episode, we continue our work in the book of Daniel. Here the intrepid prophet interprets the dream of the arrogant, megalomaniac Nebuchadnezzar. This passage is one of the most theologically significant texts in the book of Daniel, and establishes a strong prophecy related to the coming of the Kingdom of Messiah.

In this episode, I share a Sunday School class recently taught at Gospel Fellowship PCA on the Didache, the oldest known Christian writing outside the New Testament.

In this episode, we continue our exposition of the book of Daniel with the first part of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Here, we see what kind of tyrant he actually is. After assessing his character, we make some general conclusions, and apply the text by looking deeply into our own hearts.

In this sermon, we continue our new study of the book of Daniel. Here, Daniel must resist assimilation into the pagan culture by resolving in the heart, resisting outward conformity, and renewing the mind with divine truth.

We are starting a new series today, as we begin our 31-week expository series through the book of Daniel. Here we will give some background to this book, some historical context with the Exile, and discuss the brainwashing assimilation program of the pagan nation of Babylon.

This is my Resurrection Day sermon from Matthew 27:52-53. Here we consider an unusual passage in Matthew's Gospel where the author seems to suggest that many saints rose from their graves at or shortly after Jesus died. How can this be? In this sermon we explore this most unusual text.

Today we complete our series in the Book of Revelation. We cover the last verse, Revelation 22:21, and then point out seven major themes in the book, touching upon all of the major events and motifs in the book. With this sermon, we consider our long series concluded! What an adventure to preach through this whole book!

This episode is the very last expository sermon in our long series on Revelation, with the exception of next week's sermon which will conclude our study of the Apocalypse with an over-arching review of the whole book. Today, we look at the invitation to come to Jesus, the warning to neither add or take away from the Word of God, and the promise that Jesus is going to return soon.

In this sermon, we consider Revelation 22:14-16. We see the joy of the elect, the scorn of the reprobate, and the glory of the redeemer. Here, Jesus is called both the Root of David and the Bright Morning Star.

In this video, we consider the life of Sarah Edwards (nee: Pierpont) the wife of Jonathan Edwards. We consider how they met, how they fell in love, their eleven children, and their ministry together. Over many years of marriage, Jonathan and Sarah Edwards were faithful to one another, and lived a model and example Christian marriage for all. Sarah had her own religious experiences in the heart of...

In this episode, we begin the epilogue to the book of Revelation. The epilogue to the book contains a three-fold repetition of the phrase, "Behold I am coming soon!" and elicits faith and obedience from the audience. The voice that John hears bids him to regard the "trustworthy and true" words of the prophecy.

In this sermon, we continue the book of Revelation as we enter the final chapter. Today we look at 22:1-5, concentrating on the Tree of Life. In fact, we will consider the "tree trees" of the Gospel; the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the cross of Calvary, and the Tree of Life.

Today we complete the penultimate chapter in the Book of Revelation as we consider four discontinuities between this world and the next; namely, that there will be no temple, no need of the sun, no closed gates, and no unclean thing in Heaven.

In this episode, we step away from our Revelation series for just a moment as we consider civil affairs. In this lesson from a recent Sunday School lesson at Gospel Fellowship PCA, we look at Francis Schaeffer's theology of resisting tyrants. This comes from chapters seven and eight of his 1981 book A Christian Manifesto.

In this video, we continue our slow march through the book of Revelation. Today we come to 21:9-14. Here we have described the glories of Heaven and the gates into the New Jerusalem.

In this episode, we continue our long exposition through the book of Revelation. Today we come to Revelation 21:5-8 where John hears a voice from the throne. He hears both an encouragement and a warning.
