Beware apostasy!

July 25, 2022 06:00 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MB

We continue our exposition of Hebrews and come to one of the most sobering texts in the Bible, Hebrews 6-4-8, which speaks of the dreadful nature of apostasy- the falling away from Jesus Christ. In this sermon we will consider the danger of apostasy, marks of apostasy, and the fruit of it as a warning to examine ourselves and prove that we are not reprobates. Preached Sabbath PM 07-24-22.

Demanding Jesus dance to your tune

July 24, 2022 23:00 - 53 minutes - 24.9 MB

We return to our exposition of Luke's gospel and find the excuses the Pharisees made in not receiving the Word from John the Baptist and Jesus. We find that at the end of the day they were looking for God to dance to their tune, for they did not want to submit to the counsel of the Almighty. This is the foundational issue for those of us who will not submit to the Word of God. Preached from Luke 7-29-35 on Sabbath AM 07-24-22.

Hunger for the Word

July 18, 2022 06:00 - 48 minutes - 22.1 MB

We continue our series through Hebrews and arrive to a solemn charge given by the apostle to the Hebrews- that they had become dull of hearing. Because they had no desire to grow in the Word they had regressed and were in danger of losing the gospel itself. We hear of our need to grow in the Word that we might grow in Christ, lest we find ourselves backsliding, and on the path to apostasy as the Hebrews were. Preached from Hebrews 5-11-14 on Sabbath PM 07-17-22.

Give yourself: to the Lord and His Church

July 17, 2022 23:00 - 53 minutes - 24.9 MB

As we were blessed to receive the Kroening family into membership and we heard of our need to give ourselves to the Lord and to His Church out of 2 Corinthians 8-5. That after being saved by the Lord, the Christian consecrates themselves to Him, and one of the ways they express their consecration to God is by giving themselves to Christ's Church and having a care for the well-being of the Church. Preached Sabbath AM on 07-17-22 on the occasion of the Kroening family joining the congregation.

Our superior high priest

July 11, 2022 06:00 - 54 minutes - 25.2 MB

We continue our series on Hebrews and consider Christ's superior priesthood of the order of Melchizedek that shows that the royal priesthood of Christ as a priest on the throne is far greater than Aaron's priesthood and so has secured an eternal salvation for us. We also hear about Christ's cries and sufferings which show us how greatly our high priest cares for God's flock, in a way that Aaron never did or could. Preached from Hebrews 5-4-10 on Sabbath PM 07-10-22.

Enter the kingdom as an infant

July 10, 2022 23:00 - 48 minutes - 22.3 MB

We consider Luke 18-15-17 and see that an infant being baptized is a picture of the gospel and our need to be born again and become as a little child to enter the kingdom of God. Preached on the occasion of the baptism of an infant on Sabbath AM 07-10-22.

Public Thanksgiving

July 04, 2022 06:00 - 52 minutes - 23.9 MB

We return to our Gospel Worship series and consider the warrant to have special days of Thanksgiving where we are called to praise and bless the LORD for His special deliverances in the course of His Providence towards us. We will consider that from both Psalm 107 and Esther 9-20-22.

Bless Christ as Creator and Governor

July 03, 2022 23:00 - 57 minutes - 27.2 MB

We consider our Psalm of the Month, Psalm 104 - and are exhorted that we must praise Christ as the Creator as well as Governor of Providence. Preached Sabbath AM on 07-03-22.

Behold, all things are become new!

June 14, 2022 06:00 - 48 minutes - 22.3 MB

To respond to the Lord Jesus Christ out of thankful hearts, we will consider 2 Corinthians 5-14-17, where we -Behold, all things are become new-- to the Christian saved by the grace of the Lord. That by the grace given to us in the Supper we are enabled to live for Christ and as a new creation. To put off the old man and his ways and put on the new remade in Christ. Preached Sabbath PM 06-12-22.

Behold THE Man!

June 13, 2022 23:00 - 55 minutes - 25.4 MB

We celebrate the sacrament of the Lord's Supper in this service, and so, we -Behold the Man-- from John 19 as we are exhorted to Behold Jesus Christ as our substitutionary atonement, to behold His becoming a curse for us, that as a sheep led to the slaughter, He stood silent, to be condemned in our place. To give us life everlasting through His suffering. When we see the bread broken and the wine poured out, we must then BEHOLD THE MAN broken and accursed for our sin. Preached from John 19-5 ...

Behold, thou art fair, my beloved!

June 06, 2022 06:00 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MB

We prepare for the upcoming sacrament of the Lord's Supper and stir up our desire for the Lord's presence. We continue our exposition of the Song of Songs and observe how Christ and the Church declare their love one to another. We find this is due to Christ beautifying His Church. As we prepare for the Supper, we must behold how the Lord's work will not only justify us but sanctify us, such that He sees the end of His work in us to declare us fair and lovely. In this, He draws us to the Table...

Bless the LORD, O my soul!

June 05, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 25.7 MB

We consider our Psalm of the Month - Psalm 103, where we are exhorted to bless the Lord for all of His blessings. To meditate on the many ways the Lord has freely given us His undeserved goodness in Christ, so that we might praise and bless Him forever. Preached Sabbath AM on 06-05-22.

Our compassionate high priest

May 30, 2022 06:00 - 48 minutes - 22.4 MB

W continue our exposition of Hebrews and see why it is that the High Priest was to be a man, to exercise compassion, towards those who share in his own infirmities. We will see this essential link with Jesus Christ so that we would more eagerly turn to Him, for He has compassion on us, as He shares our human nature, yet without sin. Preached from Hebrews 5-1-4 on Sabbath PM 05-29-22.

Our duty to be church members

May 29, 2022 23:00 - 52 minutes - 24.1 MB

We rejoiced to receive three households into the congregation, and so a topical sermon was preached on our duty to become members of a local congregation, from Ephesians 4-1-16, before they took the covenant of communicant membership. Preached on Sabbath AM 05-29-22.

Our Sympathetic High Priest

May 23, 2022 06:00 - 50 minutes - 23.1 MB

We continue our exposition of the book of Hebrews and find ourselves considering Jesus Christ as our Great High Priest who has passed into the heavens and is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. That the humanity of our heavenly high priest is intended to draw us to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in our time of need. Preached from Hebrews 4-14-16 on Sabbath PM 05-22-22.

Defended by Jesus

May 22, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 26 MB

Pierced and exposed by the Word

May 16, 2022 06:00 - 51 minutes - 23.4 MB

We continue our exposition of Hebrews and see the Word of God as that which pierces the inmost parts of our soul and leaves us naked and exposed before God that we might flee to Jesus Christ and be conformed to His Word. Preached from Hebrews 4-12-13 on Sabbath PM 05-15-22.

Doubts over Jesus

May 15, 2022 23:00 - 52 minutes - 24.3 MB

We continue our exposition of Luke and come to the last days of John the Baptist and doubts which arise over the identity of Jesus as the Messiah. We will see that the believer resolves their doubts by going to Jesus to have them resolved and if we would do so by faith, He would resolve our doubts with glorious proofs. Preached from Luke 7-18-23 on Sabbath AM 05-15-22.

Christ asserts abortion is murder

May 09, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 28.7 MB

With the current uproar in the nation over the potential reversal of Roe v. Wade, we seek the mind of Christ in the Scripture concerning abortion. We will discover that Christ sees abortion as murder, and it must be treated as such. He hates it as it is idolatrous and Satanic. But that the blood of Christ Himself is abortion's cure and the gospel that restores Christ to the throne of men's hearts. Preached from Exodus 21-22-25 on Sabbath PM 05-08-22.

Christ's compassion on a widow

May 08, 2022 23:00 - 53 minutes - 24.3 MB

We continue our exposition of Luke's gospel and find Christ moved with compassion for a widow who had lost her only son. We find that Christ exhibits the infinite mercies of God for His people bodily as his inmost parts are moved over her condition and see that His divine power is exercised to help those He loves. Preached from Luke 7-11-17 on Sabbath AM 05-08-22.

Sabbath keeping as a sign of Christ's rest

May 02, 2022 06:00 - 57 minutes - 26.4 MB

We continue our exposition of Hebrews and find an exhortation to enter into the rest that Christ has entered -Hebrews 4-10- on the day of the Resurrection - the first day of the week, as the seventh day rest that God entered into in Creation is barred from us. Accordingly, there still remains a Sabbath keeping for the people of God as a sign of that rest that we enter into -Hebrews 4-9-. Preached from Hebrews 4-3-11 on Sabbath PM 05-01-22.

Anguish and expectation for the Church

May 01, 2022 23:00 - 59 minutes - 26.9 MB

We consider our Psalm of the Month, Psalm 102. In this psalm the psalmist has made the afflictions of the Church his own afflictions. But he casts his hopes upon the everlasting JEHOVAH and finds that because Christ rules all, he has great expectation that the future glory of the Church is secure. Preached Sabbath AM on 05-01-22.

Fear falling short of heaven

April 25, 2022 06:00 - 54 minutes - 24.2 MB

We continue our exposition of Hebrews and consider our need to mix the Word of God with faith in order to profit from it. We discover that our fathers fell short of Canaan because of their unbelief, and we will fall short of heaven if we are not receiving the Word with faith in Jesus Christ. Preached from Hebrews 4-1-2 on Sabbath PM 04-24-22.

The centurion's faith in Christ

April 24, 2022 23:00 - 57 minutes - 25.9 MB

We continue our exposition of Luke's gospel and find the one man recorded that Jesus marveled at the faith of. We observe the qualities of the man's faith that caused Jesus to marvel and consider some ways to grow in grace that we might possess such faith ourselves. Preached from Luke 7-1-10 on Sabbath AM 04-24-22.

Societal evils arise from idolatry

April 18, 2022 06:00 - 51 minutes - 23.4 MB

We consider a topical sermon on where societal evils arise from. As we see perversions and societal evils of every kind in both Church and State, we must know their true cause- that they arise from idolatry and dishonoring God. Until we get the root cause right, the church will continue to address symptoms rather than the disease and not see the gospel which gives forgiveness as well as the fear of God as the powerful remedy for it. Preached from Romans 1-14-32 on Sabbath PM 04-17-22.

Build your life on Christ's Lordship

April 17, 2022 23:00 - 51 minutes - 23.5 MB

We continue our exposition of Luke's gospel and hear the importance of not just being hearers of the Word, but doers of the Word as Christ's Sermon on the Plain concludes. Christ intends for us who proclaim His Lordship to apply it to our own hearts, enthroning Him as King over our lives. Preached from Luke 6-46-49 on Sabbath AM 04-17-22.

God's voice and sin's deceit

April 11, 2022 06:00 - 58 minutes - 26.6 MB

We continue our exposition of Hebrews and consider our need to not harden our hearts to the voice of God and to be wise to the deceitfulness of sin that causes us to disbelieve the Word and provoke God in our disobedience. The apostle says in 2 Cor. 2-11 that we are not ignorant of the enemy's devices, so we will seek to understand how sin seeks to seduce us and deceive us to better flee to Christ for refuge in time of need. Preached from Hebrews 3-7-12 on Sabbath PM 04-10-22.

Follow Christly teachers

April 10, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 27.7 MB

We continue our exposition of Luke's gospel and consider our need to seek out and follow teachers who exhibit Christly graces in their walk. Those who live the Christian walk and are known by godly conduct, because -the disciple is not above his master- but every one that is perfect shall be as his master-. Preached from Luke 6-39-45 on Sabbath AM 04-10-22.

Consider Jesus

April 04, 2022 06:00 - 51 minutes - 23.2 MB

After a long hiatus, we return to our series on Hebrews and consider the superiority of Jesus Christ to Moses and our need to consider Jesus as our Apostle and High Priest in order to persevere to the end. Preached from Hebrews 3-1-6 on Sabbath PM 04-03-22.

The godly king's resolve

April 03, 2022 23:00 - 58 minutes - 26.1 MB

We turn to our Psalm of the Month - Psalm 101 and consider the godly resolutions of a godly king and find that they have many applications to rulers and also private Christians in their own soul, their home, and in whatever area they exercise godly authority. Preached from Psalm 101 on Sabbath AM 04-03-22.

We know that the law is spiritual

March 28, 2022 06:00 - 51 minutes - 23.6 MB

In this sermon, we consider the spiritual nature of the Law, and that Jesus means for it to govern our whole soul, not just our outward actions. We understand this to not be a justifying principle, but a sanctifying one, that brings heaven to earth in our lives as we pray the third petition of the Lord's Prayer. Preached Sabbath PM on 03-27-22 from Romans 7-14.

Cultivate a charitable soul

March 27, 2022 23:00 - 51 minutes - 23.7 MB

We return to Luke's gospel and find the Lord's exhortation to cultivate a charitable soul in our judgment of others, in forgiving, and in benevolence. Preached Sabbath AM on 03-27-22 from Luke 6-37-38.

I press on

March 21, 2022 06:00 - 37 minutes - 17.3 MB

The church must grow in holiness pursuing the final goal of knowing Christ and being conformed to Him. Preached Sabbath PM from Philippians 3-12-14.

He saved us

March 20, 2022 23:00 - 40 minutes - 18.6 MB

Our motivation for godly living is that we were dead in our sins but He saved us by His grace to live for His glory. Preached Sabbath AM from 03-20-22 from Titus 3-3-8.

Seek the One your soul loves

March 14, 2022 06:00 - 49 minutes - 22.6 MB

For our Communion Thanksgiving service, we continue in the Song of Songs and see the bride's desire for the One she loves causes her to inquire of Him where He feeds His flocks. We will see our great need is to grow in love for the Savior and desire to be fed by Him on the means of grace. Preached from Song of Songs 1-5-8 on Sabbath PM 03-13-22.

Surely he hath borne our griefs

March 13, 2022 23:00 - 46 minutes - 21.1 MB

In preparation to receive the Lord's Supper we hear Christ preached as the Man of Sorrows who has surely borne our griefs. When we come to the Table we see a tangible picture of the sureness of our salvation in the broken bread and poured out wine. Preached from Isaiah 53-4-5 at a Communion Service on Sabbath AM 03-13-22.

Purge the leaven of unbelief!

March 07, 2022 06:00 - 55 minutes - 25.3 MB

In our preparatory service for the upcoming Lord's Supper, we are exhorted to purge out the evil leaven of unbelief from our hearts before we come to the Lord's Table that we would rest in Christ, trust Him, and follow Him, repenting of ways where we have not. Preached from Hebrews 3-7-19 on Sabbath PM 03-06-22.

The Church's Anthem

March 06, 2022 23:00 - 54 minutes - 24.6 MB

In Psalm 100, we consider that great anthem of the Church Militant where we proclaim to all nations their need to be converted to Christ, and then to praise Him and to serve Him with gladness. But before we exhort the nations to do so, we ourselves, must make sure we know Jesus and have submitted to Him with cheerful heart-felt obedience and worship. Preached Sabbath AM on 03-06-22.

The many afflictions of the righteous

February 28, 2022 06:00 - 57 minutes - 26.1 MB

We consider a topical sermon on Psalm 34-19 which proclaims, -many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all-. To better understand the Lord's ends in sending us many afflictions, that we might profit from them with our eyes set upon Jesus. Preached from Psalm 34-19 on Sabbath PM 02-27-22.

Private revenge prohibited

February 27, 2022 23:00 - 51 minutes - 23.5 MB

We continue our exposition of Luke's gospel and hear that the Lord prohibits us from taking private revenge upon our enemies, but instead to commit vengeance to Him and to be still and know that He is God and not us. Preached from Luke 6-27-36 on Sabbath AM 02-27-22.

Lord's Supper: Joint participation

February 21, 2022 06:00 - 52 minutes - 24.5 MB

We consider the communion, or joint participation, we have in Christ shown in the common table, common bread, and common cup shared by those who partake of the Supper. We find that sharing the table, bread, and cup has spiritual significance and we should not go away from Christ's institution. Preached from 1 Corinthians 10-16-22 on Sabbath PM 02-20-22.

Love your enemies

February 20, 2022 23:00 - 58 minutes - 27 MB

We continue through our exposition of Luke's gospel and find one of the Savior's hardest ethical teachings - -Love your enemies-. We find that this ethic has its root in God - and the gospel is revealed through it - that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The children of God are called to reflect His own heart. Preached from Luke 6-27-36, Sabbath AM on 02-20-22.

Lord's Supper: Frequency

February 14, 2022 06:00 - 54 minutes - 25.3 MB

We continue our series on the Lord's Supper and seek to understand the General Rules of the Word that determine frequency for a congregation. Preached from 1 Corinthians 11-23-34 on Sabbath PM 02-13-22.

The Beatific Vision

February 13, 2022 23:00 - 50 minutes - 23.6 MB

We look to one last Beatitude, not from Luke's gospel, but from Matthew's. -Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God-. We will consider the doctrine of the Beatific Vision and seek to know and long for that state in which Christians have that -happifying sight- of God that makes them eternally blessed. Preached from Matthew 5-8, Sabbath AM on 02-13-22.

Lord's Supper: Preparation

February 07, 2022 06:00 - 58 minutes - 27.4 MB

We continue our series on worship and investigate our need to prepare for the Lord's Supper, considering the underlying principles that make preparation necessary for the sacrament, as well as the practice of preparation and the goal of preparation - to meet intimately with Jesus Christ and to receive great blessings from Him. Preached from 1 Corinthians 11-17-34.

Our Holy King

February 06, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 26.2 MB

We consider our psalm of the month Psalm 99. In it we behold the thrice holy God whose holiness is expressed in unspeakable terrors to His enemies and an inexhaustible tenderness to His people.

Lord's Supper: Real Presence

January 31, 2022 06:00 - 48 minutes - 23 MB

We continue our series on worship and consider the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Supper. We reject that blasphemous view of the Supper found in Rome's transubstantiation but embrace the presence of Christ in the Supper by His Spirit as the Word of God teaches. Preached from 1 Corinthians 10-1-22 Sabbath PM on 01-30-22

The blessed reviled

January 30, 2022 23:00 - 59 minutes - 27.8 MB

Lord's Supper: Significance

January 24, 2022 06:00 - 49 minutes - 23 MB

We return to our series on gospel worship and consider the significance of the Lord's Supper in both its institution and the elements the Lord ordained. In order to better commune and receive the benefits of Christ, we must see the significance of the Lord's Supper. Preached from Luke 22-14-20 on Sabbath PM 01-23-22.

The blessed mourners

January 23, 2022 23:00 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MB

We continue through Christ's beatitudes and consider -blessed are ye that weep now- and discover the happiness of weeping over our sin if we are in Christ, but the eternal misery of those who laugh now and mock God and His anointed. Preached from Luke 6-17-26 on Sabbath AM 01-23-22.
