Lord’s Day 39: The Fifth Commandment
If you’d like to follow along in your Bible, turn to Matthew chapter 22. We’ll read verse 21. The context is the Pharisees asking Jesus about paying taxes. And you’ll remember they wanted to catch him in a trap, either a trap with the Romans or a trap with their own laws. Uh, and so they ask, uh, is it lawful to pay taxes? And so remember he asked them for the coin and that he said, whose face is…
Lord’s Day 35: The Second Commandment
Okay, Romans chapter 1 verses 18 to 23. This will help us think through how the pagans worship and why we don’t want to worship God in the way of the pagans. We’re thinking tonight of the second commandment, no graven images. And so Romans chapter one, beginning at verse 18 says, the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth for what can be known about…
Improving Our Baptisms
Ezekiel 36:16-38; Romans 6:1-14 Let’s give our attention now to God’s word. This is Romans chapter six, beginning at verse one. This is the apostle Paul to the church at Rome. And he says this, what shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means. How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were…
Lord’s Day 26: Are You Washed in the Blood and Spirit?
Romans 6:1-10; Zechariah 13:1 So in Zechariah chapter 12, verse 10, we have a prophecy of the coming of the Lord Jesus and a provision being made for the sins of Israel. And in Zechariah 12, beginning at verse 10, God says, I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, a spirit of grace and please for mercy. So that when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn…
Lord’s Day 4: God Plays Fair
Nahum 1; Romans 1 Okay, Nahum chapter one, it says an oracle concerning Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh. The Lord is a jealous and avenging God. The Lord is avenging and wrathful. The Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm and the clouds…
Lord’s Day 3: Naughty By Nature
Psalm 51; Romans 5 Amen. Keep your catechism sheet handy that we use to recite questions six, seven, and eight, and then turn to Psalm 51 and also Romans chapter five, Psalm 51 and Romans chapter five. Psalm 51 is from the pen of King David. Of course, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, remember David and the anatomy of his sin. He was not out at war with his, um, with his soldiers, but instead he stayed back…
Lord’s Day 2: Body & Soul Misery
Deuteronomy 6; Romans 7 From Deuteronomy chapter six, just want to read the first handful of verses. And I’m looking at Exodus and that didn’t make a lick of sense. So let me turn to Deuteronomy. which will make more sense. Okay. Now this is the commandment of the statutes and the rules that the Lord, your God commanded me to teach you that you may do them in the land to which you were going over to possess and…
Lord’s Day 1: Living & Dying in Our Only Comfort
Psalm 46; Romans 8 So this evening we’ll start our study for 52 weeks of the Heidelberg Catechism. I mentioned it’s broken up into 52 Lord’s Days, 52 Sundays. Some might ask and object, why are you preaching through a creed or confession instead of the Bible? Well, remember creeds and confessions are a summary of the scriptures. Think back to Luke. The physician wrote Luke and Acts, and he wrote them for the benefit of Theophilus, his benefactor. And…
Covenant of Works
Genesis 2-3; Romans 5 You can be seated. Please turn in your copy of the scriptures to Romans chapter five. Romans chapter five, we’ll be reading verses 12 through 21. So beginning last week and probably lasting into a couple of weeks into January, we’ll be looking at the theme, the biblical theme of covenants. Last week, we looked at the covenant of redemption, which would be what we glean from places in the scripture where we see the Father,…
The Spirit and Resurrection Life
Romans 8:1-3 Now, if you would be seated. Let’s pray once more. Father, as we approach your word this morning, we ask that your spirit would illuminate our hearts. We know that your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, but we know that we dwell, Lord, in darkness. Everything is obscure to us if you do not clear our minds and our hearts to know and understand it. We need you, Lord. We…
Pentecost for You
Romans 5:1-11 You can be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Romans. Romans chapter 5 verses 1 through 11 will be our passage for today. We want to particularly think on the truth of Romans 5.5 in light of Pentecost. Remember, Romans is the apostle Paul’s great work where he proclaims to the church at Rome where he ultimately serves as a prisoner, as a martyr to the faith. He proclaims to them the…
Good Government
Romans 13:1-7 It’s always a joy to bring God’s word to you this morning. To see new members join this church, to see it grow, to see it a flourishing gospel witness in Burlington is always just a great thing to see because that’s God doing his work. If you ever feel like he’s checked out, don’t believe that. He is involved, invested, And he loves his church and I love that song that him that we just sang a…
