Dealing With Sin (2)

1 John 2:1-2Dealing With Sin (2) Turn with me to 1 John, and look at chapter 1 before we begin to look at chapter 2. If you don't have your Bibles, the pew Bible is available to you, and 1 John is towards the end of the New Testament right before the book of Revelation and before the book of Jude and, of course, 2nd and 3rd John, and so right towards the end of the Bible. We've been working through the book of 1 John, and we've said that in the end of chapter 1 of the book of 1 John, John is addressing some false teaching in the Christian Church about the issue of the place of sin in the Christian life. If you look at verses 6, 8 and 10 in 1 John 1, you will see him address three specific false teachings which are being noised abroad in the churches to which he is writing. They…

A Mediator with a Heart

Exodus 33:12-23A Mediator with a Heart If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 33, as we continue our study in the Old Testament. In the first eleven verses of this chapter, especially verse 3, the Lord says to Moses, “to go up to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I will not go up in your midst.” This summarizes the emphasis of Exodus 33:1-11, that God is assuring Moses and His people that He will refrain from immediately destroying them, that He will fulfill His promise to take them into the Promised Land to clear the Canaanites out before them, to settle them in that land, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, but He will not go up in their midst. That means not only that He will not go up in their midst in the tabernacle which He has…

The Beauty of Holiness

The Lord's Day Morning October 27, 2002 Exodus 28:1-45 “The Beauty of Holiness” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III From Exodus 24 on, we've said several times the focus is on the details of the worship of God. Exodus 24 is the great turning point of the book. It's the “swing chapter” or dividing point of the Book of Exodus, and we commented even as we launched into Exodus 25, that it is striking that that passage begins a thirteen-chapter account of the tabernacle. Think of it: nearly a third of the Book of Exodus deals with this wilderness-portable sanctuary, and that sheer volume of attention on the tabernacle shows us something about the importance of the worship of God. Exodus 25-31 contain the message that God gave to Moses on the mountain during some portion of that…

The Blood of the Covenant

Exodus 24:1-11The Glory Blood of the Covenant If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus 24. During the summer on Wednesday evenings, we worked through the Book of the Covenant. Now, keep your finger at Exodus 24, and turn back to Exodus 20, and look at verse 22. The Book of the Covenant begins in that verse. The Book of the Covenant contains the applications and illustrations of how the Ten Commandments apply to the daily life of Israel as individuals and as a…

Delivered by the Spirit by Death of Christ

The Righteousness of God for Salvation Romans 8:1-4 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 8. We plunge into a new section of this great book. Romans 6, 7 and 8 we've already said are part of a portion of this book in which Paul is emphasizing how grace reigns in righteousness. It's not that justification isn't on his mind anymore, you’re going to be reminded that it is, as soon as you get to Romans, chapter 8, verse 1. But, it is also that…

Living in Christ

Living in Christ Romans 6:8-14 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 6. As you do so, I want to remind you of a fact that may catch you off guard. For six and a half chapters, the apostle Paul has been writing to us about various things. If you notice, that not one time has he told you do anything. Isn’t it interesting that for six and half chapters, the apostle Paul hasn’t told us to do a single thing. Now, you may have been wanting that a little bit.…

The Righteousness Which Comes by Faith (1)

Romans 3:21-26 The Righteousness which comes by Faith If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, verse 21 as we continue our study through this great book. Paul has spent the last two or more chapters making it very clear that all the world stands guilty before God. He has done this because if we do not understand, if we do not embrace the truth of the bad news, the good news makes no sense. It not only makes no sense, we can’t appropriate it unless we…
