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 21: Church, Saints, Forgiveness
Ephesians 1; Psalm 103 Psalm 103 of David, bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. The Lord works righteousness and…
Covenant Community
1 Peter 2:1-12; Genesis 17:1-18:15 You can be seated. Please take out your copies of the scripture and turn to Genesis chapter 17. And then our gospel reading from Matthew 19. And then from first Peter chapter two, verses one through 12. Today, we want to think of the covenant community that we belong to as the children of the living God. One little side note is this is not our final pulpit. We have one being made, and this…
Lord’s Day 20: Person & Work of the Holy Spirit
2 Corinthians 1; Genesis 1:1-2 Genesis chapter one verses one and two says, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And then our next reading is from second Corinthians chapter one. So Sunday mornings were in first Corinthians, but this is second Corinthians. Second Corinthians chapter one, verses…
Lord’s Day 19: Christ in Heaven for Me
John 14; Psalm 110 All right, we have three passages of scripture, Psalm 110, and then Ephesians 1, and then John 14. You’ll recognize John 14 in my father’s house are many mansions, many rooms. Ephesians 1, you’ll remember that in Christ we have all the blessings of heaven at our disposal. But our first reading, Psalm 110, is a psalm that we ought to know. It’s a Christological psalm. It’s one of the most quoted psalms by the New…
Faith, Hope, & Love
1 Corinthians 13:13; Mark 12:28-34 Please be seated. We have three scripture readings today. The first is from Psalm 100, and then over to Mark’s Gospel, Chapter 12. And then we’ll look today at 1 Corinthians 13, the conclusion to the church. The church is called to be a loving church. And so first in Psalm 100, all five verses, you have, sort of a standard call to worship hymn. It tells us that we should worship, why we should…
Lord’s Day 18: Here and There
Acts 1; Colossians 1-2 Amen. Turn to Jeremiah 23 and then we have Colossians 2 and 3 and then Acts chapter 1. As you know, we want to think about the ascension of the Lord Jesus and how it benefits us, but also a few quirky things about the two natures of Christ and his presence here, here and there. So in Jeremiah chapter 23, you have the prophet declaring that God can be where he wants and see what…
Noisy Corinthians
1 Corinthians 13; Matthew 5:43-48 Please be seated. We have three passages of scripture today. Numbers 12, Matthew five, and then first Corinthians 13 will be our main passage. So, uh, find, find your way there and stick things in the pages to hold your spot. Uh, while you’re turning to numbers chapter 12, uh, let me just say kind of by way of introduction, um, You’ll know what I mean in a moment. We do not have a noisy…
Lord’s Day 17: Ressurection Benefits
1 Corinthians 15; Job 14 Amen. Turn to Job, Corinthians and Luke all at once. So we’re thinking about the resurrection and Job in various places gives a tip of a hat to the resurrection. I think in chapter 19, he speaks of the coming of Jesus. I know that my Redeemer lives. That’s made famous and handles Messiah and that one day he will stand upon the earth. Here in chapter 14, he mentions what happens when a man…
One Body, Many Parts, No Schism
1 Corinthians 12:24-31; 1 Samuel 12 You may be seated. We have two scripture readings today. The first is from the Old Testament book of first Samuel chapter 12. And then also we’ll be continuing our study of first Corinthians chapter 12, the very end, uh, having the bulletin 25 to 31, but we’re going to squeeze a little bit of the back end of verse 24. Uh, so if you want to be technical, it’s chapter 12, 24 B…
Lord’s Day 16: Dead, Buried, Really Dead
Genesis 2:15-17; John 19 Amen. Turn in your scriptures. We have three tonight, though we could have a bunch, bunch more. But these three, I think, will be sufficient. Genesis 2, Romans 6, and John chapter 19. So Genesis 2, Romans 6, and John chapter So Genesis 2, 15 to 17, these are verses you should memorize. If somebody says to you, you know, have you memorized some gospel verses? And you say, John 3, 16, good for you. This…
Lord’s Day 15: He Suffered
Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Matthew 26:36-46 Okay, let’s turn to Isaiah 52, verse 13. It is a familiar passage to us. We read often around Easter. Of course, we went through Isaiah and probably hit on this passage back in, I don’t know, last spring or summer. So Isaiah 52, beginning at 13, God’s word says, behold, my servant, the suffering servant, remember? My servant shall act wisely. He shall be high and lifted up. He shall be exalted as many were…
