Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 75—especially explaining how the last six commandments apply the knowledge and love of God to how we love ourselves and others. Q75. What do the last six commandments teach? Our duty to our fellow men. This lesson explores the theological foundation of the last six commandments, identifying them as a summary of humanity's duty to fellow men. It clarifies that these commandments are not merely social rules but are rooted in the reality that all people are created in the image of God. The teaching corrects the modern notion of self-love as self-indulgence, arguing instead that proper self-regard and neighborly love are derived from, and defined by, God's law. By examining specific commandments regarding authority, life, marriage, property, truth, and desire, the lesson demonstrates how interacting with others is fundamentally an act of interacting with God. The central message emphasizes that our conduct toward neighbors is a direct reflection of our understanding of God's character and our own identity as His image-bearers.

This sermon examines the biblical foundation of marriage by contrasting the lack of family emphasis in the Old Testament with the specific instructions found in Genesis and Ephesians. It highlights the necessity of leaving one's parents to become one flesh with a spouse, using the creation narrative to illustrate that a suitable helper must share the same spiritual nature. The teaching positions marital unity as a critical bridge between being filled with the Holy Spirit and standing against the devil, arguing that spiritual strength is built through obedience to these relational commands. The tone is instructional and convicting, urging believers to prioritize their marriage partners over parental ties to avoid the spiritual and relational failures seen in biblical history.

Justin Peters examines Jack Graham's congratulatory message to Benny Hinn in light of Scripture's commands concerning false teaching and pastoral responsibility. Reviewing archival investigations, healing claims, and prosperity gospel fundraising appeals, Justin explains why public endorsements matter. From Romans 16:17–18, 2 John 9–11, Titus 1:9, and 1 Timothy 5:22, he calls Christians to test teaching by God's Word and pastors to protect their congregations through sound doctrine.

This sermon examines the prohibition against consuming animal blood in Genesis 9:4, arguing that this command reflects the sacredness of life and humanity's subjection to God's sovereignty. The text traces this theme through the Mosaic Law and into the New Testament, emphasizing that blood serves as the means of atonement and not material for human consumption. The central theological point is that while animal blood pointed to the need for a substitute, it ultimately foreshadows the superior sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The preacher highlights that Christ's blood, speaks of mercy and forgiveness rather than vengeance, offering the only true redemption for sinners. The message concludes with a call to recognize the supreme value of Christ's atoning work as the foundation of salvation.

This sermon explores the command in 1 Peter 5:5 for all believers to be clothed with humility, defining it not as a personality trait but as a deliberate grace worked by the Holy Spirit. The central message contrasts the divine opposition to pride with God's generous provision of grace to the humble, using the example of Christ washing the disciples' feet to illustrate true greatness found in service. The exposition identifies three realities that dismantle pride: recognizing oneself as a creature, a sinner, and a recipient of grace, thereby shifting the focus from self-importance to the glory of God. The tone is pastoral and convicting, urging listeners to examine their motives in service and relationships, and to view lowly positions as fertile ground for spiritual growth. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a daily, practical application of humility through self-forgetful obedience and a growing sight of Jesus Christ.

This sermon explores the promise of the Holy Spirit as the 'Comforter' who abides with believers forever, addressing the disciples' need for aid in the face of Jesus' impending departure. It identifies the Spirit as the Helper and Spirit of Truth, emphasizing His permanence and indwelling presence which contrasts with the temporary physical presence of Christ. The message highlights that the world cannot receive the Spirit because it is spiritually blind, whereas believers know Him through His internal dwelling. It further explains that the Spirit provides assurance of salvation and the power for resurrection, while also enabling a deep fellowship with God through loving obedience and submission to His commands. The sermon concludes by challenging believers to examine their daily submission to the Spirit to experience the fullness of this divine abode.

Verse by verse exposition through the book of Hebrews. (Sermon also includes the reading and exhortation from the Lord's Table liturgy) Heb 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" 1 Tim 6: 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows..... 17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share...
