Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 70—especially explaining that we need a Priest Who can bring us near to God, and Who can atone for sin that is as big as God. Q70. Why do you need Christ as a priest? Because I am guilty. The lesson addresses the theological necessity of a priest by considering human guilt in light of divine holiness. It argues that, even in a state of perfect righteousness, humanity requires a mediator to approach the holy-holy-holy Creator, but the reality of sin further necessitates a priest who is also a Redeemer. Christ is presented as the ultimate mediator, Who offers atoning sacrifice, transforming the certain expectation of divine wrath into unassailable expectation of favor and blessing. The central message emphasizes that access to God is secured not by human merit, but by the consecrating work of Christ as the High Priest who bridges the gap between the sinner and the Holy.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (KJV) And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

The sermon explores the metaphor of Israel as a backsliding heifer who is transformed into a submissive, serving creature through God's grace. It identifies the root of spiritual decline as a lack of knowledge of God and a rejection of His truth, leading to moral corruption and stubbornness. The message emphasises that God restores backsliders by giving them a new nature, turning their hearts from stone to flesh so they can receive His word with hunger and sensitivity. This transformation results in obedience, where believers learn to serve under God's yoke and are supplied with spiritual nourishment along the way. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of surrendered service, promising that those who break up the fallow ground of their lives will experience the showers of blessing and revival.
