The Lord’s Passover

The Lord's PassoverExodus 12:1-13 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 12. For the next two weeks, our attention will move away from the plagues, and even the final plague which was introduced last week, and we will focus instead on the institution of the Passover, which is described throughout Exodus 12. The bulk of this great chapter is devoted to this important Old Testament sacrament. Tonight we will be focusing on the first verses of Exodus 12. Let us hear God's holy word. “Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, in the land of Egypt, this month, shall be the beginning of months for you. It is to be the first month of the year to you. Speak to all of the congregation of Israel, saying on the tenth of this month, they are each one to…

Justification By Faith Flows from the Love of God

Justification by Faith Flows From the Love of God Romans 5:6-8 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 5. As we continue to work our way through this great book of Romans, let me remind you where we have come from. In chapters and 2 the apostle tells us what the problem is, what our predicament is. In chapter 3 he tells us what God’s glorious solution is in Jesus Christ. And furthermore, having told us that Christ died for sinners in Romans, chapter 3, he says God declares sinners to be just freely because of what Jesus Christ has done. In Romans, chapter 4, he defends that from the Old Testament. And in Romans, chapter 5, he begins to talk about the consequences of that, the implications of that. So notice what he has done. In Romans 1 and 2…

The Burning Bush: Nec tamen Consumebatur

The Burning Bush: Nec tamen ConsumebaturExodus 3:1-12 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 3, as we come to that incident of the burning bush. This is for the second consecutive week a pivotal passage pregnant with meaning in the Exodus story, a section that records the call of Moses into service as the deliverer of God’s people. But before we get to that story, we perhaps needs to remember some of the themes we’ve already seen. Already in Exodus, chapter 1, we’ve seen the deliberate way that Moses links creation and redemption. God’s work of redemption is just as great and broad a work as is his work of creation, in the repetition of the phrase “fruitful and multiplied” several times in Exodus, chapter 1, Moses ties in what God…

Faith Alone

Romans 3:27-31 (2) Faith Alone If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3. We’re going to be looking again at that same section that we’ve been pondering for the last couple of weeks beginning in verse 27. Romans 3:27-31. As we do so, we’re going to concentrate especially on Paul’s statement in verse 28 and two parts of that statement. This sermon is sort of a spill over from what was supposed to be a three-point sermon. So you’re going to get two…

The Instrument by Which We Receive the Righteousness of…

Romans 3:27-31 Faith: The Instrument by Which We Receive the Righteousness of God If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3. We’ve been in Romans 3:21 through 26 for the last few weeks as we have meditated upon this glorious doctrine of justification by grace through faith. And just as Isaiah, before he gives us that beautiful presentation of the gospel of grace which he begins to unfold for us in the 30’s and especially in Isaiah 40 and on. He gives us…

Justification by Grace Through Faith (2)

Romans 3:21-26 (4) Justification by Grace Through Faith If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, verse 21. We’ll look at this section of Romans one more time. We’ve been working our way through the whole gospel, and we’ve paused, and we have tarried for three weeks, breaking apart Romans 3:21 through 26 into three parts. And today I’d like to perhaps pull it back together, summarize, focus on especially some of the terms which are unfamiliar to us to…

Justification by Grace Through Faith

Romans 3:21-26 (2) Justification by Grace Through Faith If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, beginning in verse 21. Just to remind you of a couple of things before we look at this great passage today. We’re going to focus on the very end of verse 22, and then verses 23 and 24. But Paul, for more than two chapters, has been telling us the bad news. We’ve said over and over and Romans 1 makes it clear that the Gentiles are under bondage to the law and…

The Dereliction

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27. We have been working towards the crucifixion for some time now in our study of the gospel of Matthew. And all along during our studies in this particular chapter, Matthew, chapter 27, we have said that Matthew is recounting the death of Christ with a view to showing us the nature and the significance of Christ’s death. He’s wanting to show us what Christ endured for us, and then he’s wanting to show us what…

The Establishment of a Covenant People: The Promises of…

Genesis 22:1-24The Lord Will Provide Now if you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 22. Surely we realize tonight that we have come to holy ground when we come to this passage. This passage is unique in all the scriptures. F.B. Meyer rightly said of it: “So long as men live in this world, they will turn to this story with unwaning interest. There is only one scene in history by which it is surpassed; that where the Great Father gave His Isaac to a death from…
