Trusting in Wealth

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 49, as we continue to work our way through the Second Book of the Psalms–that is, Psalm 42-72–on Sunday evenings. The last time we were together in the Second Book of the Psalms we were in Psalm 48, and we were surrounded by our enemies, but we were safe in Zion and smiling on all our foes because of the greatness of the great King who dwells in the midst of His people. If you can remember back a couple of weeks we noted that Psalm 48 had four parts: there's the picture of the great King in the midst of His city in verses 1-3; there's the picture of God's foes terrified by the very sight of this city, the capital city of God Himself, in verses 4-8; there's that picture in verses 9-11 that meditates on…

God’s Purpose to Display His Mercy Against the…

God's Purpose to Display His Mercy Against Evil Romans 9:22-29 If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans 9. We come this morning with burdened hearts to the house of the Lord. It's not that there is just a national crisis; our own congregation has been touched in many ways. We have sons and daughter, and sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law, friends and colleagues who have been touched in different ways, the Wares, the Yandells, the Welborns, many others in the congregation with friends who have been in harm's way. We have some friends who have stories of being remarkably spared from being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and so our hearts are acutely burdened, but there is no better place to be in that situation than right here, with these people…

The Broken Covenant of Works Brought Death into the…

The Broken Covenant of Works brought Death into the World Romans 5:12-14 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 5. It’s been a month since we’ve been in Romans together, so let me refresh your memories. In Romans 1 and 2 the apostle tells us what the problem is. Our problem. The problem of sin and estrangement from God. Rebellion against Him. In Romans, chapter 3 he sets forth God’s solution, the only solution to our predicament, and that is justification by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. He set forth the atoning work of Jesus Christ, he set forth the importance of our trust in Him and in Him alone as God’s way of salvation, as His resolution to our predicament. In Romans, chapter 4 he defends that particular view from scripture.…

The Land of Goshen

Genesis 47:1-31The Land of Goshen If you have your Bibles, I would ask you to turn to Genesis 47, as we continue to work through this glorious book of Moses. We are really coming to a section which is the beginning of the end. The last couple of weeks, we have exalted in this providential reunion engineered by God, in this family which had been fractured by distrust and mutual loathing. A family which had been plagued by favoritism on the part of Jacob toward some of his sons and over against…

The Establishment of a Covenant People: The Covenant…

Genesis 25:1-11 The Death of Abraham If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 25. For All the Saints, a great hymn to sing, as we come to this place in Moses’ Book where he tells of the death of that great father of the faithful, Abraham. We've been studying in Genesis for the last few times in the life of Isaac. We've said that as Genesis 24 opens, Abraham is still alive, but the focus is now on Isaac and his establishment as the future head of the…

A World of Corruption and God’s Singular Grace

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 6. We have seen God's glorious work of creation in Genesis, chapter 1. We have seen the covenant established with the crown of God's creation in Genesis, chapter 2. We have seen the fall of man in Genesis, chapter 3. We have seen the consequences of the fall in the life of Adam's family, and in the descendants of Cain in Genesis, chapter 4. In Genesis, chapter 5, we have seen the roots of a godly line.…

The Godly Line

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 5. We have seen God's glorious work of creation recounted in Genesis 1. We've seen His special favor toward mankind recounted in Genesis 2. We've come to the saddest moment in human history in Genesis 3. The doctrinal point of that passage, of course, is to show in the words of the Apostle Paul that sin came into the world through one man and thus death through sin. And, of course with sin came misery, not…

The Beginnings of Culture

In Genesis, chapter 4 we have seen God's glorious work of creation recounted in Genesis 1. Specifically the creation of Adam and Eve and the covenant relationship that God established with them in Genesis 2. We have seen that sad picture of the fall in Genesis 3 and in our study of the first half of Genesis 4, we've already begun to see the effects of the fall in human history. And tonight as we come to Genesis 4, verses 16 through 26, we view there the unfolding of the original human…

Reaping the Whirlwind

Please turn in your Bibles to Genesis 4 as we continue our study in the foundations of the faith. We have seen God's glorious work of creation accounted in Genesis 1. We've seen more specifically the special relationship established between the Lord and Adam in Genesis 2 and the stipulations of the covenant of works in Genesis 3. We have seen that fellowship disrupted, and really from Genesis 3 all the way to about Genesis 6:8, we have a study in sin. The nature of sin. The consequences…
