"Homeward Bound: A Wonder of Grace"

Is the Old Testament primarily about God's law, while the New Testament is primarily about God's grace? Were Old Testament saints saved by obeying God's law, while New Testament saints are saved by faith in Christ? Is the Old Testament only about Israel, while the New Testament is to do with Christ and His church? No to all. Those conclusions, however common, are far too simplistic. "Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, (Jesus) interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," Luke 24:27 (LSB). The Bible in its entirety is God's revelation of His grace toward sinners in Christ. So we do well to read every book in light of God's saving purpose fulfilled in Christ. The story of His grace in salvation unfolds progressively and comes into full view in the life of Jesus. In his field guide for suffering saints, Peter reminds his readers that the prophets of old saw the promise of Christ and searched diligently to know more of God's grace in salvation. The apostles, too, proclaimed the Christ whom God's people had long been expecting, and who had at last come in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Even holy angels marvel at God's grace in the gospel, peering into the wonder of God restoring fallen image-bearers like you and me. So great is our salvation, Peter exclaims, it encompasses privileges "into which angels long to look," 1 Peter 1:12 (LSB). And the gospel is the good medicine we badly need when life in this fallen world darkens our horizon. This Lord's Day, we'll return to our study of 1 Peter and its doxology in chapter 1, verse 3-12. Join us as we consider, "Homeward Bound: A Wonder of Grace." Prep

22 2 Timothy 2:16-18 - Turn Around and Walk

The sermon examines 2 Timothy 2:16-18, emphasizing the imperative to avoid worldly and empty chatter as a necessary counterpart to diligent handling of God's Word. It defines 'worldly' through the Greek concept of the profane, illustrating that such conversation belongs outside the sacred threshold of the temple and lacks any affinity to God. The teaching warns that engaging in vain babblings does not remain neutral; rather, it actively erodes a believer's reverence for God, leading to a state of ungodliness characterized by a loss of holy respect. By contrasting the holy and the profane, the message urges believers to turn away from conversations that treat divine truths as common, thereby preserving the distinct sanctity of their relationship with the Lord.

3. The new born King is worshipped

View this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyP1743WxDE This sermon examines the visit of the Magi in Matthew 2 to explore the tension between spiritual distance and proximity to Christ. It highlights God's sovereign grace in bringing those who are far away, including those with occult backgrounds, into a relationship with Jesus, while simultaneously warning that extensive biblical knowledge does not guarantee a transformed heart, as illustrated by Herod and the scribes. The message encourages believers to recognize that seeking Christ and growing in faith require diligent effort and struggle, countering the notion of passive spirituality. Ultimately, the passage points to the profound joy found in knowing the Lord and the appropriate response of wholehearted worship and service.

A Faithful Calling

This service marks the public ordination of Adam Philpott, recognizing a divine calling that has been evident through his consistent character and ministry work. Witnesses from his family, church, and professional life testify to his integrity, faithfulness to Scripture, and dedication to leading others to Christ. The central theological theme emphasizes the biblical mandate to 'preach the word' with diligence and courage, anchoring ministry in the unchanging truth of God's character rather than cultural trends. Pastoral counsel is given to remain faithful to the One who called him, prioritizing intimate communion with God over mere activity. The congregation is challenged to support the new pastor through prayer and financial stewardship, holding the 'rope' as he descends into the deep work of spiritual warfare and soul-winning. Questions 1. What does it actually mean for a pastor to be ordained? 2. Does a church make someone a pastor, or does God call him to be a pastor? 3. How can a church know whether a man has truly been called by God into ministry? 4. Why is a man's character just as important as his ability to preach when considering him for ministry? 5. What qualifications does the Bible give for someone who wants to be a pastor? 6. Why does the Bible tell church leaders to lay hands on someone when setting him apart for ministry? 7. What is the most important responsibility of a pastor? 8. Why is "Preach the Word" such an important charge for pastors today? Pasted markdown 9. Should a pastor change his preaching to keep up with culture and attract more people? 10. What does it mean for a pastor to "watch for your souls"?

Give Me Thine Heart (Part 2)

The sermon explores the biblical command to give one's heart to God by examining various negative heart conditions and their corresponding spiritual remedies. It identifies deceit, despising, dying, delaying, double, and despairing hearts as obstacles to a godly life, offering specific scriptural countermeasures such as diligence, devotion, generosity, immediate obedience, singleness of mind, and dependence on God. The teaching emphasizes the urgency of acting on God's will without procrastination and the danger of dividing one's loyalty between worldly pursuits and divine service. Additionally, it addresses the pastoral responsibility of parents to avoid provoking bitterness in their children and encourages believers to trust in God's past, present, and future faithfulness rather than relying on self-sufficiency. The overall tone is instructive and convicting, urging listeners to align their inner dispositions with God's statutes.

Lesson 4: The Way of Blessing in the Land; Lesson 5: Remember

This sermon explores the demands of total devotion to God as outlined in Deuteronomy 6 through 9, emphasizing that obedience flows from a heart transformed by divine love. The central message highlights the Shema as the foundation for a life of wholehearted commitment, requiring believers to meditate on God's Word, teach it diligently to their children, and keep it constantly before their minds. The text addresses the historical context of Israel entering the Promised Land, explaining the necessity of separating from pagan influences to maintain holiness and avoid spiritual corruption. While acknowledging the severity of the Old Covenant warnings against rebellion, the sermon contrasts this with the New Covenant grace, where believers are empowered by Christ's finished work to serve God with total devotion rather than mere fear of judgment. The tone is instructional and pastoral, urging the audience to cultivate a deep, personal relationship with Scripture and to rely on the Holy Spirit for the ability to obey.
