My sermon at Waco Reformed Church on March 10, 2024.

This morning, we are going to see that His steadfastness goes beyond the cross. He is not just seeking to save us. He is seeking to establish a Kingdom, in which those who are saved are made citizens. In establishing His Kingdom, He is also exercising judgment over all the other kingdoms of man, including Jerusalem.

Whenever God brings abundant grace to His people, He also brings abundant judgment to those who reject that grace, and this is what we see in our text. It has eschatological implications, both for those who belong to Him, and those whom have rejected Him.

For His hearers, the implications were more immediate for the judgment was coming to the fruitless fig tree.

 

 

Jesus steadfastly set His face toward Jerusalem. He knew He was going there to die, yet nothing deterred Him from His calling. This sermon looks at these truths and the Savior’s steadfast love for His people.

 

 

 

We come to the last sermon from 1 Samuel 25, in which we look at the death of a fool, namely Nabal. In a sense, he dies three times in our text: drunkenness as a form of death, his heart turning to stone, in the second form, and finally death itself, for the third form.

But like all fools, it’s not the last death Nabal faces. There is one more death he faces, known as the Second Death, according to the Apostle John. It is the worst death, for it never ends, never ceases, as the LORD tells us.

 

In this sermon, I continue showing that feminism has no place in the Christian life, for its roots are in the fall and in Satan himself. While feminist are deceived by Satan, not all are. Abigail is one such woman. She seeks to remain in the sphere in which God placed her, serving her husband, even though he is a fool, and persuading David against murder.

Enjoy the sermon.

 

Preached on January 29, 2023, at Waco Reformed Church.

Calvin points out “that many descend into the arena, but he alone is crowned who has first reached the goal, so there is no reason why any one should feel satisfied with himself on the ground of having once entered upon the race prescribed in the gospel, unless he persevere in it until death.”[1]

[1] Calvin’s Commentary, p. 308.

Below is the sermon from June 5, 2022, preached at Waco Reformed Church. The subject was God’s Ministers, the Apostle Paul and Apollos, how one planted the seeds of faith, and the other watered. Both men were God’s ministers, God’s tools, working together for the benefit of the church. The ultimate focus was on the fact that God caused the increase. This is the simple truth of the church. We are called to be faithful, but only God can cause the church to grow.

The following video is the audio recording of my sermon from May 29, 2022. The video shows off my photography, but the audio is what is most important.

The sermon deals with the Apostle Paul’s rebuke of the Corinthians for being carnal by creating divisions in the body of Christ. We need to hear this message today.

The text is 1 Corinthians 3:1-4. Here is it. The audio is below.

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. ² I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; ³ for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? ⁴ For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
