Preaching The Good News(Romans 10:14)

January 03, 2020 19:11 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB

Gospel means "Good-news". In the Scriptures, it is referred to as Good-news of the Kingdom (Matthew 4) and God's Good-news (Romans 1). God is sovereign over salvation; down to every nut and every bolt of its accomplishment and its application. However, it's vitally important for us to remember that God uses the proclamation of the Gospel to bring His elect to Himself. We are the means of the grace of the Gospel when we proclaim it to the lost. God calls us, all of us, each and every one ...

The Meek(Matt 5:5)

December 19, 2019 19:40 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

In the Lord Jesus' famous sermon on the mount, we have the promises of divine happiness upon the most unlikely (humanly speaking) of candidates. The poor, the mourners, and now, the meek. The promise of divine happiness upon the meek extends to a point that is very easy to miss. It's not that it is hard to miss. The Lord was not unclear or hiding His statements. We don't have to spend a few months in a seminary course learning how to translate Greek or about fancy systems of Biblical interpre...

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn Pt. 2

December 11, 2019 20:15 - 56 minutes - 32.4 MB

This week let us ponder the words of Jesus' Sermon. These are the blessings: Matt 5:1-12 Soli Deo Gloria!

The Gospel of the Kingdom

December 10, 2019 18:46 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MB

(Apologies for the poor audio quality of the original recording) After spending a few days in Philadelphia at the Herald Society, I thought it would be a blessing to our community to share the message I preached at the conference. The men and women in attendance were bringing glory to God and testifying to how they were challenged by it. Note: the first 10-minutes of this message are missing. That does not detract from the sermon. Also, the audio itself is not superb, but, is still worthy to ...

Kingdom Precursor: John the Baptist Pt. 4(Matt 3:1-3)

December 10, 2019 18:40 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MB

(Apologies for the poor audio quality of the original recording) John the Baptist plays a significant role in the New Testament record. Many will be interested to know that John the Baptist was a well-known figure in the 1st-century outside of even the New Testament record. Flavius Josephus (a Pharisee and participant in the Roman vs. Jewish war) writes about John the Baptist's death at the hands of Herod. He says: “Now some of the Jews thought that the destruction of Herod's army came fr...

Kingdom Precursor: John the Baptist Pt. 2(Matt 3:1-3)

Matthew, Micah and Messiah's Inheritance

November 20, 2019 21:13 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MB

Matthew has prepared the ground. He has given us the marvelous announcement that the Davidic King had arrived. He had the right to the Messianic throne. He is the substance that all the prophecies were pointing to. The time had come. God was and is faithful. As we open Matthew chapter 2, I want to dwell on and think through the powerful promise that is quoted by Matthew from Micah. We often miss the beauty of what Matthew is thinking about because we don't go and put our eyes on the actual t...

Jesus and the Story of Israel(Matt 2:1-6)

November 13, 2019 17:43 - 58 minutes - 54.1 MB

The Bible isn't a Hodge-podge of disconnected parts and pieces thrown together willy-nilly. The Bible is God's Revelation to the very image-bearers He placed in the world. The Bible is God's story. It is not only the very voice of God to mankind, it is the demonstration of His power in history, His immeasurable love and kindness, His mercy for sinners, and the unfathomable extent of His sovereign plan. That sovereign plan is over the macro and micro issues. It includes the whole story and the...

An Exposition of Matthew(Matt 1:1-17)

November 13, 2019 17:18 - 50 minutes - 17.4 MB

Tonight, we are going to witness the record of the covenant and promise keeping nature of our great and awesome God! Let's dig-in: 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,[a] 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab th...

The Gospel According to Matthew

November 05, 2019 23:24 - 53 minutes - 20.1 MB

I am humbled and honored to begin our newest series at Apologia Church: The Kingdom of God: An Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew God's people have been savoring the divine truths preserved for us in this book for 2,000-years. Think about that for a moment. We have the privilege of opening this treasure chest containing the story of the promised Messiah that our brothers and sisters drank deeply from long before us. Many of those in our spiritual lineage sealed their love for ...
