(Due to some technical issues, the first few minutes of this sermon is lower quality. The issue is resolved around the 14:00 mark.) A woman's glory is her ability to fill and beautify the creation. After God made the man, He saw it was not good for him to be alone. Man without a woman is like Christ without a church. Nothing already made was up to this high and honourable calling, and so the situa...

A woman's glory is her ability to fill and beautify the creation. After God made the man, He saw it was not good for him to be alone. Man without a woman is like Christ without a church. Nothing already made was up to this high and honourable calling, and so the situation called for a fresh creation from God. God made the man for dominion, and next He makes the woman for the man. Together, their t...

The glory of men is their strength. Men were made to do hard things. Men were made to bear heavy loads. When men work out physically, they get stronger. When men push themselves to do more, they generally get better at it. It's trendy in our world, even our Christian world to be soft, easily steered, self-absorbed, and to get distracted from the dominion mandate for which we were made. The Bible c...

Matthew's gospel retells the story of Israel. Jesus has played the role of Moses, of Joshua, of Solomon, of Elisha, and of Jeremiah. He has been through exodus and conquest. He has preached wisdom and repentance. He has predicted the destruction of Jerusalem and the fall of the temple. He has walked from the humiliation of the cross to the exaltation of the resurrection. He has gone from being for...

The end of Matthew's gospel reaches not just back to the beginning of the gospel story, but to the beginning of all beginnings, back to the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth. Jesus rises on the day after the Sabbath, but that is also the beginning of a new Sabbath, the first day of a new creation. This is not just a return to the old creation, but an improvement on it. According...

(No video is available for this week's sermon.) Jesus the God-man was put on trial. Jesus the God-man suffered and died on the cross. Jesus the God-man went into the tomb, into Sheol. But death could not hold Him, and instead of being swallowed by death; He swallowed death in victory. He turned the tomb into a womb, death into a transition to new life. He turned the place of death and defilement i...

(No video is available for this week's sermon.) When God first created the world, He spoke light to come forth out of the darkness. When He re-creates the world, He does it through the cross of His Son. The world is remade when God the Son enters into the darkness, suffers in the darkness, passes through the chaos of de-creation, and triumphs over it again. Being in union with Christ means that Je...

Putting Jesus to death is the human project. That is what we do. And this means that we are far, far worse than we let ourselves imagine. Left to ourselves, this would be our last word. But God has a different project, and He will not let us get away with ours. The cross of Jesus is the crux of history, but that means the cross of Jesus not only reveals the radical disorder of fallen humanity, but...

The nation of Israel turned from her King, her husband, at precisely the moment He came to rescue her. She has chosen Barabbas over Jesus, the way of the sword over the way of reconciliation. She has accepted the innocent blood of Jesus on her own head, and on her children. If Israel is going to be saved, there will need to be a new and perfect Israel. Jesus Christ is that Israel of God. He is the...

Pentecost is a great reminder of many things – a new harvest, God's law being written on our hearts, and the fact that we are now altars of living sacrifices, wholly consecrated to the Lord. Pentecost is the day that the church is born and given power from above to complete her mission. The Holy Spirit has given gifts to His people for the building up of His church. The Spirit keeps us on mission,...

"Jesus Christ was crucified and died. His body was buried, and his soul descended to Sheol, not to languish but to liberate the resting saints, not to suffer but to subdue Satan, not to preach but to proclaim just victory over the spirits in prison. In his resurrection and ascension Jesus Christ carried his bride home to heaven., presenting himself as a sacrifice in the holy of holies not made wit...

The tragic case of Judas captures the psychology of unbelief and unanswered guilt. The guilt of our sin cannot be tamed. It cannot be forgotten. It cannot be pushed aside. It cannot be managed. It must be answered. The difference between Judas and Peter is not the fact of their guilt, but what they did with it. Judas turned in on himself in morbid introspection and found only layer after layer of...

Peter's pride and hubris have led him to the same place that all of us are capable of going to – self-sufficiency. Peter felt that he could do what the other disciples could not – persevere through difficulty on his own power. Prayerlessness, comparison, and pride left Peter unprepared and exposed to the slightest provocation, at which he instantly fell. Sin makes men weak even as it continually d...
