Fear Not, for I Am with You
Psalm 46 The saints are under attack, and they’re under attack from within, from without, from all sides, they’re threatened, and the vulnerability of the saints, the sheep of God, is a precious thing. But when we are weak, he is strong, right? And when we are like sheep and go astray, we are found by him, found by him. We are the target of the evil one, but it is God who is sovereign even over him, the evil…
Seeking Comfort in Christ, Part 2
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Well, good morning, everyone, I have the joy and privilege of opening God’s word with you again and if you were not here last week, we started really a two-part message on this passage of Scripture out of 2 Corinthians and it’s a passage that reminds us of God’s character and that he is a God of all comfort. He is the source of all comfort when we are afflicted with any kind of trial. And if…
Seeking Comfort in Christ, Part 1
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 It is good to be here with you all this morning. I will be preaching this week and next week, and we’re going to be in the passage out of 2 Corinthians chapter 1. If you’d like to turn there in your copy of God’s Word. We’re going to be in this passage of Scripture for a couple weeks. We live in a society that has become very preoccupied with being at ease, with being comfortable, emotionally…
Dying Decrees of Dead Men
Colossians 2:20-23 We return to Colossians Chapter 2, and we are at the end of the chapter, this great chapter, and looking at the final verses, Colossians 2:20 through 23, so you can find your way there in your Bibles. And at this point in the letter, Paul has become quite direct in his confrontation of these false teachers. And as we’ve seen, he is less interested to sift through the errors of their doctrine and more interested instead, more…
The Features of False Teachers
Colossians 2:16-19 Well, as we come to our study of God’s Word this morning, like to invite you to turn in your Bibles to Colossians 2:16. Colossians 2:16. And this is where Paul gets direct and confronts the false teachers who have come to trouble the Colossian church. As we have been going through ever since chapter 1 all the way to this very moment, Paul has been preparing the Colossians for exactly this point in the epistle. He’s been…
The Fullness of Christ’s Salvation
Colossians 2:12-15 We return to Colossians 2 this morning, which has been such a rich study in the ground of Christian assurance and the ground of Christian assurance is outside of ourself. It’s in Christ and Christ alone, and that’s what Paul is rejoicing in, in Colossians chapter 2. The occasion for Paul writing to the Colossians, as we have repeated throughout our study, is the threat of false teaching. False teachers were troubling the church. They intended to draw…
Christ Serves His People
Hebrews 2:16-18 I want to welcome you back this evening and invite you to open your Bibles to Hebrews chapter 2. We’re looking at Hebrews 2:14 to 18, on the fullness of Christ’s work to save and serve and sanctify. And let me read these verses to you as we begin this evening. Hebrews 2:14 through 18. “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render…
A Brand-New Heart in Christ
Colossians 2:11 Please turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter 2. Colossians chapter 2 and we are coming to some rich doctrines of salvation formerly studied under the heading of Soteriology, soteria referring to salvation and ology, the study of; so it’s the study of the doctrines of salvation, the teaching of the Bible on salvation. Paul has, as we saw last time, he has warned against Christless philosophy, Colossians 2:8, and that leads to a profound and rather dense…
Christ Saves His People
Hebrews 2:14-15 Well, good evening. Tonight will be part one of, it’s a single sermon needs to go together, but I don’t have that kind of time tonight. So you get the first part today, second part next week. Turn to Hebrews chapter 2, end of the chapter, Hebrews 2:14 through 18. I have in my past had people come up to me, students come up to me, younger Christians come up to me and ask why it is that…
Christless Philosophy
Colossians 2:8-10 Turn in your Bibles to Colossians 2:8. Colossians 2:8, here in this text, Paul is really kind of turning a corner as he issues a warning and he expresses a serious concern, but even after he issues this warning, expresses a serious concern, he goes right back to Christ, his glory, his greatest treasure and that is what we want to see in the text before us today. Paul has reminded the Colossians of their confession, Christ Jesus…
