The controlling theme of Scripture and of world history is the glory of God. Because of the Fall, we have been blinded to God's glory and unable to find our way back. God answers this problem in the gospel; where He comes and does all the work of redemption. We have clearly seen that our Lord does not come finding people willing to cooperate; rather, He makes dead people willing by breathing the l...

Baptism is a re-enactment, a symbol, a sign, and a seal. In baptism, we die in the waters of God's judgment, just like the wicked of Noah's day, or like Egypt in Moses' day. In baptism, we identify with Christ going into the heart of the earth. But just like Christ, our going down isn't the path of defeat, but of victory. Christ announces victory at the very bottom of His descent and then makes th...

We are reminded in Psalm 20 that while secondary means are good, lawful, and even the normal way in which God operates, it is God alone who is to be trusted. Any allegiance to authorities or nations is secondary, and must be regulated by how those authorities and nations are honouring the Lord. A biblical view of the king keeps us from the idolatry of blind partisanship as well as from the escapis...

One of the great gifts of the gospel is union with Christ. This covenantal union binds us to God so closely that He protects us as His own body. His covering is as instinctive as the covering and protection of an eye or of a mother hen covering her chicks. The Psalmist knows where to go when he is surrounded by his enemies. As he grows into the grace he has been given, David invites the Lord's tes...

It is largely through meditation, that these truths we have heard with our ears, and understood with our minds are given the opportunity to sink into and transform our hearts. Dear congregation, if you desire for your bible reading to be more profitable; if you want to benefit more from sermons you hear, and the books that you read, then take the time to meditate upon what you've learned.

David is able to appeal to God on the basis of his righteousness. This is not the righteousness imputed to him by Christ, nor is it a a kind of manufactured self-righteousness. This is the righteousness that permeated David's way of living after God had declared him righteous. When heaven declares something, it must necessarily play out on earth. The Lord makes David blameless and equips him with...

The admiration and delight of the Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus, for His people gives us great confidence that He will bring us home to eternal glory to enjoy Him forever. So with that, the charge is this: Keep yourselves in the love of God, and be diligent to remember the purification from your sins that the Bridegroom has brought.

In David's supplication to God to preserve him, he demonstrates where his trust and hope is found. David's plea is not in vain, and it is a trust that looks forward to the promises of God to deliver him. Christ sits at the right hand of the father where there are pleasures forevermore. So with that, the charge is this: Entrust yourself to the Lord, Take delight in him and in his instruction. Be co...

By inspecting the house of God at both the beginning and now at the end of His public ministry, Jesus reenacts the priestly duties of Leviticus. Jesus has measured the temple worship and found it wanting. The priests have neglected their duties. They have made compromises with the state and with the spirit of their age. Glory and gravitas have been replaced with convenience and commerce. The unfai...

In the Triumphal Entry, the greater Jeshua makes His way from Jericho to Jerusalem in victory. The Great High Priest has assumed the glory that was waiting for Him on the Mount of Olives, and He is coming to inspect His household. He comes riding a donkey, standing in an ancient line of judges and kings who ruled from this city many years ago. Like Jehu before Him, Christ's donkey rides on the clo...

The history and philosophy behind public education movement and private Christian alternatives.

The natural state of affairs is for us to be blind to the things of the Lord. The blindness leaves us idle, unproductive, and unable to help ourselves. While we are all brought into the world in this condition, many never see their need, and end up moving into deeper and deeper levels of self-deception and self-destruction. To come to terms with the reality is itself a gift from God. The Church Fa...

Christ has illustrated again that in the kingdom He has established, the first will be last and the last will be first. The way up is down, and the way to be great is to become a servant of all. Jesus has now made clear for the third time in this gospel that the road to glorification winds through the valley of suffering and death. Would we expect any different for ourselves if we are united to Ch...

If there is any sentiment that has no place in the Christian's heart, it is the sentiment that God owes us something. He owes us nothing. The only title we own free and clear is to our sin. Yet in His sovereign grace, God freely gives us title to the kingdom. So the charge is this; whether God has called you in the morning, or whether He has called you at the eleventh hour, meditate on the fact th...
