Concerning Spirituality
1 Corinthians 12; Psalm 115 Please be seated. Turn in your copy of the scriptures to Psalm 115. Our first reading will be that Psalm in its entirety. There are 18 verses and then put a finger in Acts chapter two and also first Corinthians chapter 12. Today and probably for the next handful of Corinthians passages, we’ll be looking at Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian church to bring order to their church life, particularly their worship. And we have…
Lord’s Day 14: Son of David, Son of Mary
Hebrews 2; Psalm 132 All right, we’ve got three scriptures tonight, so turn in your copy of God’s word. First Psalm 132, and then Hebrews chapter two, and then Luke chapter one. So we’ll be thinking about what’s often called the Immaculate Conception. The Lord Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin Mary. And then he was born of her yet without sin. And then there’s an interesting phrase, so that…
Table Manners
1 Corinthians 11:17-34; 2 Chronicles 30 Please be seated. Take out your copy of the scriptures. We have our first reading from Second Chronicles, chapter 30, and then a reading from the gospel, Luke chapter 22. And then we pick up today in First Corinthians, where we last left off in chapter 11. It just so happens today, the passage is on the Lord’s Supper, and it helps us as we prepare to come to the Lord’s table. So the…
Second Exodus of Second Adam
Hosea 11; Matthew 1-2 Matthew chapter one and two will be our passage and what we’re going to look at in particular as the title says The second exodus of the true son of God now you were probably scratching your head what in the world on Christmas Eve It will make sense. Trust me Promise. In Matthew chapter one, I’m not gonna read all the names, so don’t worry, but there are 42 generations, 42 generations from Abraham all…
God Loves What He Made
Colossians 1; Psalm 104 Turn in your copy of the scriptures to Psalm 104. Today, we’ll begin a break in our sermons from the book of First Corinthians. Today, we’ll think about Thanksgiving. And then over the next several weeks, we’ll think about different themes on the life and ministry of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the new year, we’ll pick back up in First Corinthians 11, where It will teach us about the Lord’s Supper. Today, with Thanksgiving this…
Hair Coverings
1 Corinthians 11:2-21 You can be seated. Turn in your copy of the scriptures to 1 Corinthians 11. Today we’ll be looking at verses 2 through 16. You should probably ask how many of you read this passage this week after the Wednesday email. Anybody? One or two of you. So you know what we’re in for here. 1 Corinthians 11, 2-16 is a passage that speaks to customs that were known to the New Testament church that differentiated between…
Lord’s Day 7: Saving Faith
Ephesians 2; Genesis 15 All right, turn to Genesis 15 and then put a finger in, is it Ephesians chapter two? Genesis 15 and Ephesians chapter two. With these studies in the Heidelberg Catechism, I’ve tried to pick an Old and New Testament passage that broadly cover what we’re gonna talk about. But then our, I guess you’d call it our exposition is going to be of the phrases and the words of the Heidelberg Catechism. So Genesis chapter 15…
Give Glory to God & No Offense to Others
1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1 Please be seated. Turn in your copy of the scriptures to 1 Corinthians chapter 10. Today we’ll look at verses 23 through the end, and then we’ll also sneak chapter 11 verse 1 in on our passage. Remember in our study of 1 Corinthians, I think for the last, I don’t know, let’s just say six messages in chapters eight, nine, and 10, the issue of meat offered to idols has sort of been a thing. So…
Lord’s Day 6: Well Beloved Son
2 Corinthians 5-6; Genesis 2-3 Turn to Genesis 2 and 3, and after you found Genesis 2 and 3, stick a finger there and look for 2 Corinthians chapter 5. You may think that the Heidelberg Catechism is beating a dead horse about the mediator, but I think perhaps you’ll think otherwise after a little bit. Maybe you’ll think I’m beating a dead horse. Who knows? Those preachers are good at it. So 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and 6, we’ll…
Participation
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 Please be seated and turn in your copy of the scriptures to First Corinthians chapter 10. Today, we’ll be looking at verses 14 through 22. Today, in our minds, we want to hold on to the word participation. Participation is the word, perhaps you’ve heard the New Testament Greek word, koinonia, which means participation, fellowship, communion, partnership. Uh, it’s used in all kinds of ways in the new Testament. Uh, but it’s common, uh, I guess it’s…
Lord’s Day 5: Cur Deus Homo (NO AUDIO)
Hebrews 2; Isaiah 52-53
Watchfulness
1 Corinthians 10:12-14 You can be seated. Please turn in your copy of the scriptures to 1 Corinthians chapter 10. We’ll be looking today at verses 12 through 14. I wanna take a little side trip into the nuts and bolts or the anatomy of temptation. And my hope is to encourage you to see what is true for the Christian believer. And understanding those realities, knowing our enemies and our weak spots, living more intentionally in light of the…
