This sermon explores Psalm 2 as a Messianic psalm that reveals the conflict between the nations' rebellion and God's sovereign response. The message identifies the central tension as the world's futile plotting against the Lord and His anointed, contrasted with the Father's laughter and the installation of Christ as the eternal King on Zion. It affirms the doctrine of Christ's eternal sonship, explaining that the Father's declaration of the Son is an unchanging decree that predates creation. The preacher calls the audience to recognize their position in this cosmic drama, urging them to make themselves wise by submitting to Christ's authority. The final appeal is a warning to those who reject the King and a comfort to those who take refuge in Him, emphasizing that salvation is found only in embracing the Son.

The first of a series expounding Jeremiah 2, with application to the state of Western nations.

Why are the Rod and Reproof so necessary? Proverbs 29:1–15 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these fifteen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the rod and reproof are means that God uses to conform a child to Christ. The devotional explores the divine purpose behind parental discipline, explaining that the combination of verbal rebuke and physical correction is essential for training a child to receive God's Word. It contrasts the tragic trajectory of a child left to himself, who hardens his heart and harms self and others, with the wisdom cultivated through consistent, loving correction. The text emphasizes that this discipline is not an end in itself but serves the rebuke, which is a means of grace by which Christ brings the child to repentance and faith in Himself. The message urges parents to trust in God's sovereignty to use these instruments for the spiritual formation of their children, lest they end up in themselves rather than in Christ and like Christ.

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.

Belshazzar's problem of pride blinded him from learning from (recent) history and exposed him to God's wrath. Sound familiar? God declared Belshazzar "wanting" or "deficient." That, too, should sound familiar. All of us, apart from the grace of God and faith in Jesus Christ are found to be deficient before the holy God!

The sermon emphasizes the necessity for the church to maintain spiritual vigilance and purity, particularly in the aftermath of a revival experience. Drawing primarily from Ephesians 5, the message argues that God values the holiness of the bride of Christ over her fruit, urging believers to remain without spot or blemish. The text uses the narrative of Achan and Joshua to illustrate how individual sin and a lack of prayer can jeopardize the entire congregation, while also warning against false teachers who cause division and serve their own interests. By citing examples of apostasy and false prophecy, the speaker encourages the congregation to rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment and to continue seeking God's face through prayer to sustain the work of the Spirit.

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.
