This sermon explores the nature and disposition of angels by examining their role throughout the life of Jesus Christ, from heralding His birth to ministering in the wilderness and protecting Him. It highlights the theological distinction that angels, as created beings, cannot be saved but desire to look into the mysteries of redemption, experiencing the joy of salvation secondhand through the repentance of sinners. The message emphasizes the angels' readiness to serve and their anguish at witnessing the crucifixion, contrasting their power to destroy with their obedience to God's plan for atonement. Ultimately, the sermon points to the resurrection and the subsequent salvation of souls as the moment when the angels' purpose is fulfilled, resulting in eternal joy in heaven over every sinner who repents.

The Four Dynamics of the Will of God Psalm 33:6–22 This message explores four essential dynamics of God's will—His purposeful, permissive, providential, and prescriptive will—revealing how God's eternal purposes govern creation while His grace invites believers to participate in His work. Psalm 33 reminds us that God spoke the heavens into existence, and what He determines cannot be defeated, interrupted, or overthrown. His counsel stands forever, regardless of the plans, decisions, or opposition of fallen humanity. God's purposeful will is His perfect, unchanging, and unstoppable eternal plan. His permissive will allows humanity to make choices, even when those choices contradict His revealed desires. His providential will demonstrates His sovereign ability to govern, redirect, and overrule human plans so that His eternal purposes are never defeated. His prescriptive will is what He has graciously revealed through His Word, instructing His people how to live in fellowship with Him. Through this revealed will, God's grace is designed to guide us, govern us, and guard us, bringing our thoughts, desires, decisions, and relationships into agreement with His wisdom. The message emphasizes that spiritual maturity and completeness in Christ cannot be achieved through human effort or independent thinking. We need God's Word, His Spirit, and His grace continually working in us. Rather than merely asking God to bless our plans, we must yield ourselves to His purposes, trusting Him to establish His truth in our hearts and reveal the character of Jesus through our lives. This surrender also strengthens our fellowship with one another as we pray, serve, and encourage each other t

There is perhaps no other truth which is so hard to learn as is this; that trying to keep God's holy law will not bring you into favor with God. Instead, we read here, it brings a curse. By nature, most people just think that if they just become religious enough; if they will try their hardest to do and keep God's commandments, then surely God will honor their good intentions, and He will save them and bring them to heaven at the last. But the Apostle Paul has been showing us in this letter that it is utterly impossible for any person to save themselves from their sins, whether they are a Jew, or whether they are a Gentile. You can only be saved from your sins by faith in Jesus Christ. And the law is not of faith. Therefore, in these verses, we find Paul explaining for us how we are saved from our sins. 1st of all – Christ saves us by redeeming us from the curse of the Law having become a curse for us. And then, 2nd – Christ became a curse for us so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Let's look more deeply into these things together now, so that we might understand the greatness of what Christ has done for us.

In Part 14 of the Revelation Unraveled series, Pastor Byron Chesney examines Revelation 5:1–7 and the great question that echoes through heaven: "Who is worthy?" As John weeps because no one is found worthy to open the seven-sealed book, his sorrow turns to hope when the Lion of the tribe of Judah—the Lamb who was slain—steps forward. This message points to Jesus Christ as the only One worthy to fulfill God's plan, execute judgment, and ultimately bring all things under His rightful rule.

This preacher admits that without clear Scripture commentary, he never would have associated the candlestick with Jesus... and that is why we must be very careful making such extra-biblical associations while freely receiving ALL such Biblical associations, especially About Jesus!

Luk 20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, Luk 20:2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? Luk 20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: Luk 20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? Luk 20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? Luk 20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. Luk 20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. Luk 20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

With Psalm 8:1–9; Hebrews 1:1–14; Revelation 12:7–12, and with Article 12 of the Belgic Confession, we learn God created out of nothing the heavens and earth and all creatures with the purpose of glorifying Himself. Pastor Martijn Heijboer preaches the Earth in service of its Creator, angels in service of their Creator, and demons in rebellion against their Creator.

If God forgets nothing, what does it mean that "God remembered Noah" (Genesis 8:1)? Read Exodus 2:24 and ask whether God's remembering is a memory brought back or His mercy put into action toward His own. Then ask why the same verse names "every living thing, and all the cattle" (Genesis 8:1) beside Noah. "And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;" (Genesis 8:1)
