Question 4: How and Why Did God Create Us?

Since Question 2 affirmed that God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, He is our Creator and Sustainer. Therefore, our present question addresses a subject of nearly supreme practicality (and notice the two-part structure of the question): How and why did God create us? The first sentence gives us the answer proper, while …

The Word a Sword | A Sermon by Charles Spurgeon

My decision to preach Hebrews 4:12-13 within the same sermon as verses 1-11 obviously meant leaving much upon the cutting room floor, yet this sermon from the Prince of Preachers on Hebrews 4:12 will hopefully be a sufficient supplement. Whether you listen to my reading or read the text yourself below, I pray that you …

Strive to Enter That Rest | Hebrews 4:1-13

Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. …

Question 3: How Many Persons Are There In God?

https://open.spotify.com/episode/1DH2BhhQ6rjZ70Fo5Jk2c2?si=4q7zlQCLQxic9Dmxsrogcg After briefly defining what is God, we now come to the doctrine of the Trinity. To be honest, for several years the phrasing of Question 2 perplexed me (which reflects the fourth question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism).

Their God Is Their Belly | Philippians 3:19

their god is their belly Philippians 3:19 ESV What does Paul mean by belly here?
