CC # 118 A Quota of bricks Exodus 5

December 26, 2021 22:01 - 33.6 MB

Gospel instalment--1. God always preached the same message-it does not matter the book or story, it was always about salvation in Christ.--2. And to understand Christ, the cross, God's grace, one has to appreciate the matter of the relationship between Sin and Law.--3. Many are quick to side on the side of Law and even claim to do it, but it is zeal without knowledge.-4. The Law was given to IMPRISON and to MAKE HOPELESS because of sin.-5.

December 11, 2021 23:30 - 38.6 MB

Today's Gospel instalment- 12-04-2021 Message Title- Imputation and its Necessity.. Text- Genesis 39... 1..Many say grace, gospel, Jesus who do not understand or believe the real matter.. 2.. Salvation happens only through the principle of IMPUTATION.. 3..To Impute means to charge or reckon something to someone's account.. 4..The whole gospel transaction rests on this principle, from Adam to Christ, to all the redeemed.. 5..Grace happens only through IMPUTATION that is grounded on the doing o...

BSGCFB # 1 You must be born again John 3 vs 1-10

December 11, 2021 23:19 - 34.1 MB

1. Jesus said, one must be born again to SEE the kingdom of God.-2. But many have been made to believe that this is something that sinners in their natural state of death are able to do by their own will and power...-3. But Jesus begs to differ, listen to this message and hear Jesus's teaching on the matter.

BSGCFB # 2 John 3 vs 16 & the Gospel

December 05, 2021 17:58 - 34.7 MB

Title- John 3 vs 16 and the Gospel-1. John 3-14-16 -NKJV- -14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. -16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -2. Many falsely conclude that Jesus was saying that salvation is universal and potential, in the sense that God wants to sav...

CC # 115 Raised in Pharaoh's house Exod 1 & 2

November 28, 2021 13:05 - 36.5 MB

Sermon Title- -Raised in Pharaoh's house---Text- Exodus chapters 1 and 2--1. Exodus 1-11-14 -NKJV- -11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens.

BSGCEPH # 30 Closing Ephesians Pt 2

November 21, 2021 18:57 - 34.3 MB

1. The difference between the indicatives and imperatives is very vital to a faithful preaching, teaching of the gospel and also to the matter of true faith.--2. Because making that distinction is very important, I will not assume that everyone knows what that means.--3. The indicatives-indicate the redeemed's status before God in Christ. It is what God has indicated to be true about us in Christ.--4. The indicative is wholly found in the doing of God, of Christ and the Holy Spirit and what C...

BSGCEPH # 29 Closing Ephesians Pt 1

November 14, 2021 19:04 - 37.6 MB

1. As we come to the close of Ephesians we reviewed the teaching of Chapters 1 to 3.--2. This is a very instructive teaching for those who did not have the chance to listen to all the messages that we shared from this chapter.--3. We dealt with the indicatives again, as these could not be never be taken for granted, for in them, God reveals to us the matter of our standing before Him and how got that standing.--4. This is again a gospel testimony of Christ, God's gospel of free and sovereign ...

CC # 114 The Testimony of Eliezer Gen 24

Text- Gen 24- Genesis 24-1-4 -NKJV-, 1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age- and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. -2 So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, -Please, put your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell- -4 but you shall go to my country and to my family, and t...

BSGCEPH # 28 Spiritual Warfare & the Gospel Eph 6 vs 15-20

October 31, 2021 19:00 - 38.4 MB

Today's gospel instalment- 10-30-2021--Text- Ephesians 6 vs 10-20--Sermon Title -s-- 1. -Spiritual warfare - the gospel- 2. -Put on the full armor of God-. --1. Ephesians 6-11 -NKJV-, 11 -Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.---2. After Apostle Paul had labored about God's eternal purpose in Christ, he then taught on the imperatives for those who are the redeemed of God, after that he then went into life of the believer -their struggle-.-...

CC # 113 The pre-eminence of Christ Col 1 vs 15-20

October 24, 2021 19:07 - 36.1 MB

1. Unless God teaches the sinner about the pre-eminence of Christ in all things, especially in salvation they will keep exalting their own resume and abilities and this to their detriment.--2. But that is not the gospel of God. The teaching of God presents to us the highest view of Christ and the lowest view of men and women.--3. All things are the way they are because of the pre-eminence of Christ. In other words, it is all about Him. He has to be FIRST BEFORE AND IN ALL THINGS.--4. Salvatio...

BSGCEPH # 27 Children Obey Your Parents EPH 6 vs 1-9

October 17, 2021 19:16 - 34.9 MB

Children are to obey the parents IN THE LORD.-2. Do not think this is a message to bash children- There is a bucketload of gospel testimony even i...

BSGGCEPH # 27 For this reason Eph 5 vs 27-33

October 10, 2021 19:16 - 36 MB

Sermon Title -s-- 1. -For this reason a man shall leave his parents- 2. -This is a great mystery-- 3. The two shall become one.. --Eph 5- 31-32 -For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.- 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church---1. Imperatives-exhortations should not be taught if one does not understand the gospel. WHY-- Because they find their basis, authority, application from what...

BSGCEPH # 25 As Christ loved the church EPH 5 vs 22-27

October 03, 2021 19:16 - 38.1 MB

1. We have been working the imperatives -exhortations-instructions- of the book of Ephesians and we have established several important theological points that are important to the proper application of commands. --2. We have determined that one cannot teach imperatives without having soaked God's people in the indicatives -the actual gospel and basis of their standing before God-. --3. They must understand how salvation works, otherwise imperatives can easily be turned into another treadmill ...

BSGCEPH # 24 Do not be unwise Eph 5 vs 15-21

September 26, 2021 19:29 - 40.5 MB

1. We continued with the indicative and imperatives teaching, making the distinctions-as this affects how we view the truth of the gospel-in regards to what actually causes what before God.--2. The Holy Spirit exhorts all the redeemed to redeem the time, to buy back the time, from things that do not profit to those things that are profitable in Christ. --3. The days are evil. Evil because dissipation continues unabated, but most importantly, because people do not want to hear the truth about ...

BSGCEPH # 23 Walk as children of light Eph 5: 8-14

September 19, 2021 19:20 - 41.2 MB

1. The believer is light in the world and thus is exhorted to walk as the child of light.--2. And as always, I do not teach imperatives and exhortations without also talking about the Indicatives -the things that actually cause salvation-.--3. So, we defined some things-especially around what it means to be light and darkness- --4. Many of course come and falsely accuse our steadfastness to preach the sufficiency of Christ alone as the only just grounds of righteousness, goodness, sanctificat...

BSGCEPH # 22 Walk in love because Eph 5 vs 1-7

September 12, 2021 19:32 - 41.1 MB

1. The imperatives continue and that also means the indicatives also come together with them, because no imperative in the context of salvation is given -naked-. And that means an imperative or command always flows from an indicative. And indicative indicating one's status before God which is wholly by grace alone through Christ alone.--2. But the imperatives are there. The Lord gave them because they are important to the conduct of His body, the church. And these imperatives flow from Him. H...

BSGCC # 112 The friend of the bridegroom John 3 vs 22-30

September 05, 2021 19:16 - 35.8 MB

Sermon Title- 1. The friend of the bridegroom, 2. The end of the Law, 3. John the Baptist Testimony--1. Unless we know the difference between Law and gospel we cannot believe in the truth.--2. Many mix Law and grace because they do not know what to do with Law, which means they also do not understand the claims of the gospel.--3. Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes. And the gospel is not a new Law by which we obey God unto righteousness. The gospel rather i...

BSGCEPH # 21 No Longer walk as the rest EPH 4 vs 17-32

August 29, 2021 19:22 - 41.2 MB

1. We continued with the exhortations-commands that are in the book of Ephesians and we continued to emphasize the significance of understanding the difference between the indicatives -who we are already because of Christ- from the imperatives -exhortations because we are already children and saved-.--2. Many preachers and professing Christians tend to make the doing of the commands the matter of the gospel or salvation, which is not true. TO conflate them leads to a gospel not of grace, but ...

BSGCEPH # 20 No longer be children Eph 4 vs 11-16

August 22, 2021 19:19 - 39.4 MB

1. The Lord desires and purposes growth and maturity in His people.--2. Yes, they are to be children with respect to having no accomplishments to commend themselves to God for salvation, but they can't remain as children in their knowledge of the truth.--3. Not growing in the truth is a recipe for spiritual instability and vulnerability.--4. Believers who are not rooted and anchored in the gospel truth are easily swayed, they are constantly hoping from one place to another and are easily over...

BSGCEPH # 19 He gave gifts to men EPH 4 vs 4-11

August 15, 2021 19:24 - 41.7 MB

1. Unity of the Spirit and faith.-2. Because there is one body, one Spirit, One calling, One baptism, one baptism, in other words one way of salvation, one gospel.-3. The Lord Jesus accomplished salvation. After He made an end to the purification of sin, He ascended back to heaven and gave gifts to His church.-4. Gifts given because He was the Conqueror-He went to war and overcame all His foes--5. Ephesians 4-7-8 -NKJV- -7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Chri...

1. Everyone is in a procession of some kind, of death or of life.. Which one are you in-.----2. Luke 7-13-14 -NKJV-, 13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, -Do not weep.- 14- -Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still-. And He said, -Young man, I say to you, arise.---This is God's gospel...

BSGCEPH # 18 Walk worthy to your calling Eph 4 vs 1-3

August 01, 2021 20:30 - 1 hour - 34 MB

1. The true gospel grounds all of salvation in what Christ alone did... -2. What God did in Christ is what constitutes the INDICATIVES of salvation -speaks of one's cause of standing in Christ as already established-. IT speaks to what is true about the redeemed, they are children, redeemed, holy , justified, have an inheritance.-3. But there is a therefore that follows -imperatives-. Imperatives are commands-exhortations given to those who are the redeemed. Doing them does not commend or rec...

BSGCEPH # 17 Christ dwelling through faith Eph 3 vs 14-21

July 25, 2021 20:26 - 35.6 MB

Text- Ephesians 3-14-19 -NKJV-, 14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, -15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, -16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith- that you, being rooted and grounded in love, -18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and hei...

BSGCCEPH # 16 Eternal Purpose Accomplished in Christ Eph 3 vs 1 -13

July 18, 2021 20:32 - 40.3 MB

1. God has a purpose- a single purpose and it is not in you and is not waiting on you to decide for it to happen.--2. His purpose is an eternal sovereign purpose. And that means He is not double minded about anything. He does not watch the news or wait for your next move. He makes the news, because all things are the unfolding of His eternal and sovereign purpose.--3. His purpose -note- not purposes was accomplished in Christ. God does not have purposes or goals-He is not running a business- ...

BSGCEPH # 15 Remember the former things Eph 2 vs 11-22

July 04, 2021 20:26 - 38.6 MB

1. Ephesians 2-13 -NKJV- -13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. -2. Ephesians 2-19 -NKJV- -19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, --3. The believer's standing or relationship of God and what established that relationship.

BSGCEPH # 14 But God Eph 2 vs 4-10

June 27, 2021 20:29 - 36.2 MB

Text- Ephesians 2-4-10 -NASB- -4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, -5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ -by grace you have been saved-, -6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, -7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. -8 For by grace you have been saved through faith- and t...

EPH # 13 Dead in Trespasses and sins Eph 2 : 1-3

June 20, 2021 20:06 - 37.9 MB

Ephesians 2-1-3 -NASB- -1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, -2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. -3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. --1. It is not true that you came to Christ by the power of your o...

BSGCEPH # 12 Faith in the Lord Jesus Eph 1: 15-23

June 13, 2021 20:14 - 32 MB

Ephesians 1-15 -NASB- -15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints.---1. Faith is particular and has defined content-if it is according to the gospel of God-the gospel of Jesus Christ.

CC # 110 An infection visible to me Lev 14 vs 33-57

June 06, 2021 20:34 - 42.1 MB

1. Many claim that God is sovereign, who actually do not believe the implications of God's absolute sovereignty. God's is absolutely and exhaustively sovereign even in the matter of sin. Why-- Because God has never made a supplementary or contingency budget ever. He always purposed the cross of Christ and that means He always purposed sin, because you can't have the cross without sin. People can do all their gymnastics around this matter, but it is firmly established by the scriptures and I w...

CC # 109 Purification of a poor leper Lev 14 vs 1-32

May 30, 2021 20:19 - 41.8 MB

Title- The purification of a poor leper-Text- Leviticus 14 vs 1-32- Leviticus 14-32 -NKJV-, -32 This is the law for one who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford the usual cleansing.----1. The gospel is a declaration of God's way of salvation.-2. A declaration of how a sinner ought to approach Him to be justified.-3. A declaration of what Christ accomplished to that effect.-4. Thus, any other method that contradicts God's method is anathema.-5. But God's way is only taught of God, otherwise s...

CC # 108 These animals shall be my wages Gen 30 s 25-43

May 23, 2021 19:15 - 39.1 MB

Sermon Title -s-- 1. These animals will be my wages, 2. Jacob and his flocks 3. Consider it stolen.--Genesis 30-33 -NKJV- -33 So my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you- every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me.- -Full text- Gen 30 vs 25-43-1. Many condition salvation on themselves showing that what they believe is not the gospel.--2. Many profes...

BSGCC # 107 It is not our custom here Gen 29 vs 14-35

May 09, 2021 19:29 - 40.9 MB

Sermon Title- It is not our custom here. --Text- -Genesis 29-26-27 -NKJV- , 26 And Laban said, -It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27 Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years.- --1. Unless we understand the relationship between Law and Gospel, we will think that the Law is gospel.--2. And to mix Law and gospel is to remain, not with the gospel, but Law.--3. And this...

BSGCC # 106 A large stone on the well's mouth Gen 29 vs 1-14

May 02, 2021 20:26 - 43.6 MB

1. Unless we understand the relationship that the Law relates to the gospel, we cannot understand what the gospel actually is.--2. The biblical testimony of the Law is that it requires of sinners what they are not able to do. Although the Law is holy, righteous and good, that is the bad news for the sinner. -The goodness of the Law is terrible news to one who can't keep it and that means everyone born in Adam.---3. The Law, thus stands between the sinner and salvation, until something is done...

BSGCC # 105 A sacrifice from the domesticated animals Lev 1

April 25, 2021 20:29 - 43.4 MB

Sermon Title- A Sacrifice from the domesticated animals-Text- Leviticus 1--1. God's prescribed way of salvation.-2. The Tabernacle system and the sacrificial system a gospel testimony.-3. Imputation of sin and righteousness, the bedrock of the gospel of grace.-4. God's satisfaction only by the death of the sacrificed that He appointed and qualified.

BSGCC # 104 And the money failed Gen 47

April 18, 2021 20:27 - 44 MB

1. The family of Joseph has now arrived in Egypt into which they were led by Judah that -he may show them the way to Goshen--a gospel testimony expounded.--2. Two tales of salvation told-salvation by grace alone-as exemplified by the family of Jacob getting blessed of Pharaoh and being settled in the best land in Egypt -Goshen- and the second part-what becomes of those who seek to salvation by the works of their own hands.- -3. But the family of Jacob was not blessed because they deserved it....

BSGCEPH# 11 The Holy Spirit Seal and Guarantee Pt 2 Eph 1: 13-14

April 11, 2021 20:31 - 48.3 MB

Scripture- Ephesians 1 vs 13-14-1. The Gospel of God is Trinitarian and reveals the God who is three persons -Father, Son and Holy Spirit.---2. The Father chose, adopted and accepted the elect in the Son, the Son redeemed all the elect by His blood and caused their inheritance and the Holy Spirit sanctifies and seals all the redeemed.--3. Those who deny the Trinitarian nature of the Godhead will find it hard to remain faithful to the text of scripture. --4. The sealing of the elect is God mar...

BSGCEPH # 10 The Holy Spirit Seal & Guarantee Pt 1 Eph 1 vs 12-13

April 04, 2021 20:31 - 44 MB

1. God's declaration to all who believe is that in Christ they have already obtained an inheritance, which means a complete salvation.--2. This message is not for people to decide or do something to make it work or to make it true. It is as God has spoken it. All the elect have in their possession already-an inheritance-a complete righteousness, sanctification, redemption and life. --3. And those who have such an inheritance are they who trust in Christ. And they trust Him according to the WO...

BSGCEPH # 9 In Christ we have obtained an inheritance EPH 1 vs 11-12

March 28, 2021 20:32 - 48.3 MB

Today's gospel installment- 03-27-2021--Ephesians 1-11-12 -NKJV-, -11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.--Sermon Title- In Christ we obtained an inheritance-1. Much of the gospel proclamation that you will hear condition salvation on something that one has to do or kick in for the inheritance to come...

BSGCEPH # 8 Mystery made known Eph 1 vs 9-10

March 21, 2021 20:30 - 43.7 MB

1. Many talk about their -free-will- as the reason they have salvation. And this is false teaching and false faith because nowhere in the matter of salvation is human-free will spoken of as a reason why some are saved and others are not.--2. The gospel declares to us the saints the mystery of God that has been made known by God in Christ, by the appearance of Christ and what He accomplished and ALL to His glory.--3. God has purposed that all things are to His glory being summed up in Christ J...

BSGCEPH # 7 The mystery of His will Eph 1 vs 7-9

March 14, 2021 20:30 - 52 MB

1. The declaration of righteousness of God's people was not by an arbitrary judgment that was not based on something of substance.--2. No, it came by way of the redemption that is in the blood of Christ. And this was for God to demonstrate the riches of His grace.--3. The believer was not saved on a measly budget-like they could actually exhaust God's budget on grace and mercy as some ignorant people think and have said. God saved them according to His inexorable, unsearchable and abundant ri...

BSGCEPH # 6 In Him we have redemption Eph 1 vs 7

March 07, 2021 20:32 - 45 MB

1. The gospel is not an invitation for men and women to come and seal or close the deal by their own decision making.--2. No, rather it is declaration of God's will and purpose in Christ by which He has made a certain people called the elect, chosen in Christ by His grace, to be holy and above reproach and this to the praise of His glory of His grace. Holiness is only intrinsic to God in the nature of being, for the elect it is relational to-in Christ.--3. And God did not just declare them ho...

BSGCEPH # 5 To the Praise of the glory of His grace Eph 1 vs 6

February 28, 2021 20:30 - 48.4 MB

1. It matters where you start and where you begin in the matter of salvation. IF you start with men, you will always end with men. But God does not begin with men and surely does not end with men. He begins as God and ends as God and that means He does all things to His glory.--2. For us to be in line with the truth we have to appreciate and believe the truth that God purposed salvation not for the alleviation of human misery, but to His glory.--3. And God determined to be praised for His gra...

BSGCEPH# 4 God's good pleasure in election and predestination Eph 1 vs 4-5

February 21, 2021 20:31 - 1 hour - 45.6 MB

1. The matter of salvation is God's business and thus does not have its beginnings from when men and women showed up. --2. God chose a people and that choosing-election had its foundation in the love of God and from eternity. IT was not a random choice and yet it was not grounded on the objects of His election.--3. In choosing a people in Christ-God meant to glorify Himself as He demonstrated the riches of His grace and mercy.--4. But grace and mercy could not be experienced by those whom God...

BSGCEPH # 3 How did the Ephesians become saints? Eph 1 vs 3-6

February 14, 2021 20:32 - 1 hour - 50.3 MB

1. Much of what is taught about salvation in the professing church is false. It is false because they have made the matter of salvation something that is within the power of sinners to do or determine, to will, accept or reject.--2. But that is false teaching. The matter of salvation is an eternal matter. It has its foundations before nothing was created.
