(0:02) Well, if you want to take your Bibles and turn to Genesis chapter 11, this will be our (0:07) last sermon in Genesis for a while, but while you're turning there, I'm going to read out (0:13) of Romans chapter 1. (0:18) There's a sense in which, I mean, what the first 11 chapters of the Bible are doing is (0:24) setting us up for everything that happens afterwards. (0:27) It's a history of t...

 Remsen Bible Fellowship, 02/04/2024 Introduction If you get nothing else from this sermon, here is what I want you to walk away with: God always remembers his covenants, God is always faithful. And for that, we should praise him.  You may have come in this morning feeling like God has forgotten about you, you may doubt whether God is good. There may be circumstances in your life that seem insurmo...

Remsen Bible Fellowship, 01/28/2024 “God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 3:20–21 Introduction...

Text: When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God...

Remsen Bible Fellowship; 01/14/2024 Introduction We started into a study of Genesis back in October, but have been on hiatus from that study since the start of December as we examined the “implications of the image” of God for questions of current controversy.  As we jump back into Genesis, let’s refresh on where we are. In Genesis 1:1-2:3 we have an introduction to the book, and to the Bible as a...

Remsen Bible Fellowship, 11/26/2023 Introduction One of my favorite quotes is from the Puritan John Owen, “Be killing sin. Or it will be killing you.” He says this as a comment on Romans 8:13, where the apostle Paul writes: “For if you live according to the deeds of the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” That message that Paul wrote to...

Remsen Bible Fellowship, 11/15/2023 Introduction Last week we looked at the fall narrative of Genesis 3:1-7: a snake, a creature both crafty and cunning, entered into the garden of Eden, where God had placed the man and the woman. This sly serpent engaged the woman in conversation, asking “did God really say, you cannot eat of any tree that is in the garden?” As we discussed last week, this questi...

Remsen Bible Fellowship; 11/12/2023 Introduction What is wrong with the world? That’s one of the most fundamental questions we can ask. It’s also one that is thrust upon us every time we open up our web browsers or news apps and see what’s going on in the world. Where do the hatred and the evil come from? What clown show did some of our elected leaders escape from? What explains this chaotic mess?...

Remsen Bible Fellowship; 10/29/2023 Introduction Genesis is the book of beginnings. So far, in the past four weeks, we’ve covered the first 34 verses, the prologue. Prologues are important. They set the stage, they set expectations, they prepare you for what is to come. They give you the baseline assumptions upon which the rest of the work is built. But, now that we have those foundational assumpt...

Remsen Bible Fellowship; 10/22/2023 Introduction When does God sleep? The answer, of course, is that he never sleeps. Psalm 121:1-4 says,       1       I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?        2       My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.        3       He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.        4       Behold, he who...

Remsen Bible Fellowship; 10/15/2023 Introduction What does it mean to be human? That may sound like a big, abstract, question. But while it absolutely is big, it’s not as abstract as it sounds. I would suggest that underneath many of today’s simmering (or boiling) controversies are assumptions about the answer to this question. “What does it mean to be human?” And those assumptions need to be exam...

Remsen Bible Fellowship; 10/01/2023 Introduction Why do you exist? Let me clarify that question slightly: I’m not asking “how did a particular human with your genetic makeup come to exist”; rather, what I’m getting at is: why do you exist at all ? Why do I exist? Why is there such a thing as existence?  This is one of the most important questions which a human being can ponder - and we’re the only...

Introduction Have you ever felt like God spit in your eyes? We’re going to read today about a man for whom that was a literal reality - Jesus spit in his eyes - and it was the best thing in the world for him.  Let’s set the scene: Jesus had fed the four thousand down in the Decapolis, and then traveled by boat back to the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Upon arrival, the local Pharisees come...

Introduction Before we get to the gospel according to Mark this morning, I want to consider the Old Testament character, Gideon. Maybe you remember Gideon as the fellow who led an army of 300 men armed with torches and pots and pans against the vast host of the Midianites. Perhaps you recall how his army was whittled down to 300, because God didn’t want Gideon to take the glory for the victory.  B...
