According to historic Christianity, it often comes down to how the Bible is interpreted.In this teaching, Pastor Dr. Matthew Everhard lays out 10 essential rules for biblical interpretation (hermeneutics) that help Christians read Scripture faithfully, avoid common errors, and understand the Bible the way it was intended to be read. With clarity, humor, and a strong Reformed theological framework, this video explains how careless or novel interpretations can lead to serious doctrinal mistakes—and how the church has historically guarded against them.You’ll learn:- Why the Bible must be read like any other book—and unlike any other book- How context, words, grammar, and authorial intent shape meaning- Why Scripture is primarily about God, not us- How to interpret difficult passages using clearer ones- The importance of literary genre (poetry, narrative, epistle, apocalyptic, etc.)- Why private interpretation apart from the local church is dangerous- How reading Scripture historically protects against novelty, cults, and heresy- Why reading the Bible is an actual encounter with the living GodThis teaching draws on classic Christian principles affirmed in the Reformed tradition, including insights reflected in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and is ideal for:- Christians who want to grow in biblical literacy- Pastors, elders, and teachers- Seminary students- Anyone confused by conflicting interpretations of ScriptureBelievers who want to avoid proof-texting, theological error, and modern distortions📚 Books mentioned in this videoBold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of CowardsWorshiptainment (now available in Spanish as Adora Show)Supporting the channel by reading these books is one of the best ways to help this ministry continue.👋 About the speakerDr. Matthew Everhard is the pastor of Gospel Fellowship PCA and an adjunct professor at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (RPTS).👉 Subscribe / Follow for more teaching on:Reformed theologyBiblical interpretationChristian courageWorship, church life, and doctrine🔔 New sermons, lectures, and theological resources posted regularly.NEW BOOK: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards.

    "Let There Be Light!" Verse-by-Verse Exposition of Genesis 1:3-5. [Sermon].

    Genesis 1:3–5 | The Creation of Light | Six Days of Creation Explained In Genesis 1:3–5, God speaks the very first words recorded in Scripture: “Let there be light.” Instantly the darkness is pierced as light bursts into existence by the sovereign command of the Creator. In this verse-by-verse exposition, Dr. Matthew Everhard explores the creation of light on the first day, examining the power of God’s spoken Word, the goodness of light, and the profound biblical theme of light overcoming darkness that stretches from Genesis to Revelation. Why does God create light before the sun, moon, and stars? What does it mean that God separates light from darkness? And how does this first act of creation point us forward to Jesus Christ, the Light of the World? This sermon also explores the scientific wonder of light, the theological meaning of God’s creative command, and the spiritual application for believers today. Join us as we continue our verse-by-verse study through Genesis 1–11: The Proto-History of the World. In this message you will discover: • Why God created light before the sun and stars• The meaning of God’s powerful creative command• The significance of light being declared “good”• Why God separates light from darkness• The biblical theme of light vs. darkness throughout Scripture• How creation points forward to Christ, the true Light• What it means for Christians to walk as children of light Key Bible Passages: Genesis 1:3–5John 1:5John 8:12Isaiah 9:22 Corinthians 4:6Revelation 21:23Revelation 22:5 Series: Proto-History of the World (Genesis 1–11) This expository preaching series explores the foundational chapters of the Bible, addressing creation, the fall, early human history, and God’s unfolding plan of redemption.

    4 Bible Translations I Trust: And Three that I Avoid

    Description: Four Translations that I Trust and Three that I Avoid Practically everything I do depends on a faithful Bible translation. Whether I’m preaching, teaching, writing, or leading family devotions, I need a translation that is accurate to the original Hebrew and Greek. In this video, I share: • Four Bible translations I trust • Three I personally avoid • My criteria for evaluating translations • Thoughts on the Textus Receptus vs. Critical Text • Why formal equivalence matters • The problem with gender-neutral translation trends I discuss the following translations: ✅ King James Version ✅ New King James Version ✅ English Standard Version ✅ Legacy Standard Bible And why I am less enthusiastic about: ⚠️ New International Version ⚠️ New Revised Standard Version ⚠️ New Living Translation As a Presbyterian minister and seminary professor, I explain how manuscript traditions (Textus Receptus, Majority Text, Critical Text), translation philosophy (formal vs. dynamic equivalence), and theological considerations affect my choices. If you care about precision, historic Protestant tradition, and faithfulness to Scripture, this discussion is for you. 📖 I’d love to hear from you: What Bible translation do you use and why?

    Cowardly Preaching: Why So Many Pastors Are Afraid to Speak Truth

    NEW BOOK: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards. Now available in paperback and ebook! Get it here: https://amzn.to/49FjBA8 📖 DESCRIPTION: Why are so many pastors afraid to preach boldly? In this video, I address one of the greatest crises in the modern church: cowardly preaching. Too many sermons avoid sin, repentance, hell, politics, doctrinal error, and cultural corruption. Instead of fearing God, many preachers fear man. Drawing from Acts 4 and the boldness of the apostles, we explore: Why pastors avoid controversial topics The difference between the fear of God and the fear of man How church conflict weakens pulpit courage Why expository preaching restores boldness Three practical solutions to recover courageous preaching The early church prayed for boldness — and God answered. What happened to that courage today? If you are a pastor, this is a challenge. If you are a church member, this is encouragement. If you care about faithful biblical preaching, this matters. 📚 Books Mentioned: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards Worshiptainment (Also available in Spanish as Adora Show) Subscribe for more biblical theology, Reformed thought, and cultural analysis.

    In the Beginning, God. Genesis 1:1-2. [Sermon].

    We begin a major new expository preaching series on Genesis 1–11: The Proto-History of the World. In this opening sermon on Genesis 1:1–2, we explore the most foundational statement in the entire Bible: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” In just two verses, Scripture introduces the origin of time, matter, energy, personality, and the entire universe. This message explains how the opening of Genesis establishes the framework for the entire Christian worldview—creation, fall, redemption, and the glory of God. In this sermon you will learn: • Why Genesis 1–11 must be understood as real history • The meaning of creation ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) • Why the Hebrew word “Elohim” hints at the Trinity • The difference between bara (God creating) and asa (human making) • Why the phrase “heavens and earth” is a biblical merism meaning “everything” • How Genesis confronts modern secular explanations for the origin of life • Why believing Genesis 1:1 makes every miracle in the Bible possible We also consider why Genesis 1–11 is foundational for understanding: Creation The Fall Marriage and gender Good and evil Redemption The coming of Christ If the opening of Genesis is true, then the Bible’s entire supernatural worldview stands firm. Key Bible Passages Genesis 1:1–2 John 1:1–5 Psalm 8 Romans 11:36 Ephesians 1 1 Peter 1:20 Topics Covered Genesis 1 explained Six-day creation Christian worldview Biblical theology of creation Historicity of Genesis Creation vs secular origins Doctrine of God Trinity in creation Expository preaching Series Information This sermon launches a 55-message exposition of Genesis 1–11, exploring the early history of the world including: Creation The Fall The Flood The Noahic Covenant The Tower of Babel These chapters lay the theological foundation for the entire Bible and ultimately point forward to Jesus Christ and redemption.
