The Preacher's Lament

Occupy My Lowly Heart—All of it!

In this session I consider the 2nd verse of the great and glorious Psalm 119, the longest prayer in the Bible. The exile is coming to God with open heart ready to be occupied by Him exclusively and fully and continually with obedience. Resources that are aiding our study include Charles Bridges exposition of Psalm 119 by Banner of Truth- Brian Borgman's book called An Exile's Guide to Walking with God- and Gene Cunningham's Diary of a Captive.

The Simplicity of Faith

The Riches of Christ in Prayer

I spend about 4 minutes or so on introduction and get right in on Psalm 119 concerning the first verse under the Alef - and conclude that we may find riches in Christ through prayer as we seek to keep the grammar and language of the gospel while in -Babylon.-

Jesus Cares For the Sick: Jesus heals a leper

Christ Our Glory

A Psalm For Until We Reach the City

The introduction to Psalm 119, the longest prayer in the Bible. Brian Mann teaches about how to keep faith while living as a stranger or exile in Babylon from Psalm 119. Let God be your portion until you reach the City- It is our hope that you may learn something of what portion God is to the believer in this lesson, and your heart stirred to pray.

Doing The Word With God's Blessing

We live in days of religious identity crisis. In James' day the Christians were tempted to grow in the Christian life like Jews. In this sermon, Brian Mann teaches that doing the word with God's blessing means putting on new clothes -spiritually speaking-, wiping of a new face, and adorning yourselves with new affections. That is, the Christian life must be done Christianly.

The Perfect Gift

Many are deceived about the perfect gift. Proclaimed on Christmas 2022-in this sermon, Brian Mann teaches that the immutable nature of God lifts the fog of deception about the nature of God's perfect gift of salvation.

The God Who Simply Gives

James tells us that the early church was experiencing symptoms of something wrong in their fellowship. The root of this problem was double-mindedness. Brian Mann explains that James 1-5 teaches that the cure for this disease of double-mindedness is the doctrine of divine simplicity warmly applied.

Sunrise Visiting From Heaven

This time is meant to encourage the saints at Catherine Lake midweek, to raise our affections to God in prayer, that we may converse with him more readily through the week leading up to the Lord's Day. This week Brian Mann begins with Psalm 19-4 and ends with a connection in Luke 1-78. Consideration is given to God's providence, perfection, and power. The incarnation is lastly set forth as the sun's rise upon creation from on high. If the Son of God has visited from heaven, shall we not seek ...

False Faith

Simon the Magician is an example of false faith uncovered by the apostolic visit. In the same way, the Word of God is sure to uncover false faith of those who deceive the people and even the preachers. How does God's Word do this-- In this sermon, Brian Mann examines the serious cost of false faith and its sneaky character before expounding that false faith undervalues the price of grace, underestimates the power of sin, and fails to obey the gospel.
