    You Have an Enemy | Genesis 3:1 | The Reality of Satan's Deception (Sermon)

    You Have an Enemy | Genesis 3:1 | The Reality of Satan's Deception You have an enemy—and he is far more dangerous than most people realize. In this expositional sermon on Genesis 3:1, Pastor Matthew Everhard examines the shocking entrance of Satan into the biblical story. Why does the serpent suddenly appear in the Garden of Eden? Where did Satan come from? What does the Bible actually teach about his fall? And how can Christians recognize and resist his schemes today? Drawing from Genesis 3, along with passages from Luke, Job, Jude, 2 Peter, Ephesians, Revelation, and James, this sermon explores the biblical doctrine of Satan, spiritual warfare, temptation, and God's absolute sovereignty over evil. Topics include: The origin and fall of SatanWhy the serpent appears in Genesis 3Satan's strategies against believersHow the devil twists God's WordSpiritual warfare according to ScriptureThe armor of God (Ephesians 6)God's sovereignty over SatanWhy God permitted the FallHow Christ has conquered sin, death, and the devilEven though Christians face a real spiritual enemy, believers have an even greater Savior. Jesus Christ has defeated Satan through His life, death, and resurrection, and every believer can stand firm in His victory.

    Was Jonathan Edwards a Racist? The Theology of a Slave Owner

    Jonathan Edwards was certainly a slave owner. Does that mean that he was also a racist? If so, could his views have matured over time to become more loving and Biblical? In this episode, I speak with John T. Lowe, one of the most knowledgeable scholars on Edwards and race. Be sure to check out his new book, Benevolence and Bondage on Edwards and race relations.

    Defeating Anxiety Through Confidence in God

    Defeating Anxiety Do you struggle with anxiety, fear, panic attacks, or constant worry? In this video, I share some of my own battles with anxiety—including panic episodes from my past—and explain how the Lord taught me to fight fear with confidence in God. As Christians, we need to think biblically about anxiety. Is anxiety always sinful? Not necessarily. Sometimes fear is simply part of living in a fallen world. But anxiety becomes spiritually dangerous when it causes us to distrust God or run from our God-given duties. In this teaching, we explore how to transform anxiety into something spiritually productive by turning fear into prayer, action, and deeper trust in the Lord. In this video, we discuss: • When anxiety is sinful—and when it isn’t • Why some fears are irrational and how to confront them • How avoidance often makes anxiety worse • Why God’s goodness and sovereignty are the antidote to fear • How to turn anxious thoughts into prayer (Philippians 4) • Five powerful truths every anxious Christian needs to remember Jesus tells us in Matthew 6: “Do not be anxious about your life...” That command isn’t harsh—it’s hopeful. Why? Because your Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and cares for you. The cure for anxiety is not pretending fear doesn’t exist; it is learning to trust a God who is both good and powerful. If you are dealing with worry, panic, social anxiety, fear of failure, health anxiety, or overwhelming stress, I hope this biblical encouragement strengthens your soul. 📖 Key Scriptures: • Matthew 6:25–34 • Philippians 4:5–7 • Romans 5 • James 1 • John 14 • Romans 8 📚 My book: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards In this book, I discuss the roots of fear and how the gospel produces real courage in anxious times. 👍 If this video helped you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need encouragement today. #Anxiety #ChristianAnxiety #TrustGod #BiblicalCounseling #Fear #ChristianEncouragement #MatthewEverhard #ReformedTheology #ChristianLiving #Philippians4 #MentalHealth #GospelHope NEW BOOK: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards.

    Adam's Love Song for Eve. Genesis 2:18-25. [Sermon].

    Marriage was not invented by culture—it was created by God. In this exposition of Genesis 2:18–25, Pastor Matthew Everhard explores God's original design for marriage before the Fall. We examine the beauty, joy, definition, and purity of marriage as God instituted it in the Garden of Eden. Why did God bring Eve to Adam? Why did Adam respond with poetry? What does it mean for a husband and wife to become "one flesh"? And why is marriage described throughout Scripture as a covenant rather than merely a contract? This sermon also explores how Christian marriage points beyond itself to the greater love between Christ and His Church, making Genesis not only the beginning of human history but also the foundation of biblical theology concerning marriage. God's purpose in creating marriageWhy Adam's first recorded words are a love poemThe biblical definition of marriageLeaving father and mother and "holding fast"Marriage as a lifelong covenantOne man, one woman, one fleshWhy divorce is so serious biblicallyThe meaning of "naked and not ashamed"How marriage points to Jesus Christ and the ChurchWhether you are married, single, engaged, or simply seeking a biblical understanding of God's design for the family, this message offers timeless wisdom from the opening chapters of Scripture.

    Schism Defined: Response to Redeemed Zoomer and Jordan Cooper

    Is the PCA Really Schismatic? A Biblical Response to Redeemed Zoomer & Jordan CooperIs it ever biblical to leave a church or denomination? Or is every separation from an established church an act of sinful schism?In this video, I respond to recent arguments by Redeemed Zoomer and Jordan Cooper regarding the doctrine of schism. Rather than beginning with historical theologians like Samuel Rutherford or Robert Baillie, I argue that we must first begin with Scripture itself. What does the New Testament actually teach about schism?We examine every major New Testament use of the Greek word schisma and ask several important questions:What is the biblical definition of schism?Is doctrinal error ever a legitimate reason to separate from a church?Does the Westminster Confession support Redeemed Zoomer's understanding?Which branch is actually guilty of schism when a denomination abandons biblical truth?Is the PCA a faithful continuation of historic American Presbyterianism—or is it the PCUSA?What can we learn from 1 Corinthians, John's Gospel, 1 John, and Christ's High Priestly Prayer?How should Christians pursue unity without compromising truth?Along the way I discuss:Redeemed Zoomer's recent statements on schismJordan Cooper's helpful contributions (and where I differ)The Westminster Confession of FaithSamuel Rutherford and Robert BaillieThe PCA, PCUSA, OPC, and NAPARCChurch discipline and the marks of the true churchFemale ordination, doctrinal fidelity, and ecclesiastical renewalWhy true Christian unity must always be grounded in biblical truthMy conclusion may surprise you. While I strongly disagree with Redeemed Zoomer's definition of schism, I remain hopeful that God is raising up a faithful remnant within the PCUSA and that genuine Presbyterian unity may yet be possible through repentance and renewed commitment to the authority of Scripture.If you enjoy careful biblical theology, Presbyterian history, Reformed doctrine, and thoughtful discussion of current issues facing the church, please subscribe for more content.Books Mentioned📖 Hold Fast the Faith📖 The Jonathan Edwards Study Bible (now available for preorder)Support Future PastorsIf you'd like to help train faithful ministers through the Jonathan Edwards Scholarship at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, please consider supporting this important work.If this video was helpful:👍 Like the video💬 Leave your thoughts in the comments📤 Share it with a friend🔔 Subscribe for weekly videos on Reformed theology, church history, and Presbyterianism.#Schism #Presbyterian #PCA #PCUSA #RedeemedZoomer #JordanCooper #ReformedTheology #WestminsterConfession #ChurchHistory #BiblicalTheology #Presbyterianism #NAPARC #OPC #Ecclesiology #ChristianUnity #ChurchDiscipline #MatthewEverhardJONATHAN EDWARDS STUDY BIBLE: PRESALE!

    Is the Church Too Feminine? How NOT to Lose Your Young Men

    Is the Church Too Feminine? From sappy, pop-style praise songs, to female Sunday school teachers up and down the board, to teaching styles that feature the emotions over doctrine, the church may just be in danger of being too... well, girly. In this video, we will talk about that problem and how it is that we can make it more biblically balanced again!
