Lord’s Day 42: The Eighth Commandment
John chapter 6 verses 11 to 13. This is the parable of Jesus feeding the 5,000 and remember people came out to see him from great distances and they came out for the day but did not bring provisions and so He found what was available and multiplied it by prayer and by the power of Almighty God. And afterwards, the scripture tells us in verse 11 that Jesus took the loaves and when he had given thanks, he distributed…
Marching Orders
Please be seated. Turn in your copy of the scriptures to First Corinthians chapter 15. Today, we will finish this chapter with the last verse, verse 58. Some of you, perhaps when you are asked, what is your life verse? This could be it. If you don’t have one, maybe it’s a good one. I don’t know that you need one, but lots of folks have a verse they like to keep in their mind and heart. And certainly you…
Lord’s Day 41: The Seventh Commandment
Amen. Turn, uh, if you will, to Matthew chapter five, uh, versus 27 to 30 will be our reading from the gospel. And then we will also read, uh, Paul’s, uh, commandments to the Thessalonian church in chapter four of first Thessalonians, uh, versus one to 12. So tonight we’re thinking of the seventh commandment. We’re thinking of. God forbidding all unchastity and then requiring us to be holy and pure in all our life. We read that difficult passage…
The Trumpet Will Sound
You can be seated. Please turn in your copy of the scriptures to First Corinthians, chapter 15. Today, we’ll be finishing this great chapter on the theme of the resurrection of believers at the last day, one of the Many, many, many difficulties Paul is dealing with from across the water while he’s at Ephesus back at the church at Corinth is a group is denying that the dead are raised, that those in Christ who are asleep or in…
Lord’s Day 40: The Sixth Commandment
Amen. Turn to, uh, first Matthew, not first Matthew, but first turned to Matthew five. And then second, we’ll be looking at Ephesians chapter four. So in addition to reading from Genesis chapter four and God requiring, uh, recompense or his own vengeance for murder. We want to think of Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount. You probably noticed there’s not a whole lot in the Heidelberg Catechism on actually killing or murdering. It’s mostly about the heart.…
No Resurrection?
Please be seated. Our reading from the New Testament will be first Corinthians chapter 15. And we will just for reading sake from a previous message a few weeks ago, read verses 12 through 19. But our main focus today will be verses 29 to 34. Uh, so in 12 through 19, we have those, uh, arguments Paul made for the, uh, the resurrection of the dead. And then he says a little something else we looked at last week.…
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…
Thy Kingdom Come
Please be seated. Turn in your copy of the scriptures to first Corinthians 15. Today we’ll be looking at verses 24 through 28. Last week, we did read and look at verses 20 through 28, but we didn’t say a whole lot about verse 20, verses 24 to 28. So we want to think about the end. We want to think about the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Before we read God’s word, let’s ask for his help and…
Lord’s Day 38: The Fourth Commandment
Turn in your copy of the scriptures to Genesis chapter two, and then also a finger in Hebrews chapter four, Hebrews chapter four, verses one through 16. I’m wondering if you caught the content of our opening hymn. That is one to look at again after this evening service is over and perhaps think about during the week. And then Isaiah chapter 58 compared to the Heidelberg Catechism we read together. It’s interesting how all these things go so well…
First Fruits & Guarantee
You may be seated. Please turn in your copy of the scriptures to the New Testament Book of First Corinthians. Today, we pick up in Chapter 15, looking at verses 20 through 28. Remember, there are those in that church who are denying the resurrection. By that, we mean not necessarily denying the resurrection of Jesus, but denying that there will be a resurrection. for believers. And so today we will hear Paul give some of the effects of the…
