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.…

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.

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…

Last week, we looked at the implications of the resurrection.…
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…
