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). To ask what instead of who makes God seem impersonal. However, we must remember that God …

The Apostle and High Priest of Our Confession | Hebrews 3:1-6

https://youtu.be/-XZ_GEv48wc Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the …

Bringing Many Sons to Glory | Hebrews 2:5-18

https://youtu.be/pWg2x93tU0Q For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him,            or the son of man, that you care for him?You made him for a little while lower than the angels;            you have …

Why Missions? | Nahum 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJgwM79OEk8 Nahum is not a common book to preach from in general, but even so, using it as our platform for discussing the reason and heart behind missions is more than a bit ironic. If any minor prophet is thought to have a missional theme, it would be Jonah, the reluctant prophet whom God sent …

The Radiance of the Glory of God | Hebrews 1:1-3

https://youtu.be/O5nsAB__A68 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God …

Consider Jesus: An Orientation to Hebrews

You may notice that this sermon is rather short. That's because I read Hebrews in its entirety, only giving these brief thoughts before and after that reading. Since Hebrews is a written sermon, I felt it was necessary to hear it read during our gathering for worship on the Lord's Day, as its original recipients …

Let Us Celebrate the Festival | 1 Corinthians 5:6-8

This Good Friday sermon was preached in 2022. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the …
