Not everyone that says themselves to be a Christian is a true Christian, regardless of their own -feelings of assurance-. Both true and false assurance, like true and false conversion, are taught in Scripture, and are revealed though God-given trials and tests---1- Two Kinds Of Assurance--2- You Are On Daily Trial--3- But God Is Faithful

There are Dispensationalist teachers who declare that the Christian Lord's Day is not the same as the Sabbath, and they attempt to drive an unScriptural wedge between the two, as they do in many doctrines. But let us see what the Bible says about Sabbath-keeping for the people of God at all ages. Today, we will look at the Old Testament background before venturing further at another time---1- The Sabbath of the Pre-Fall Period--2- The Sabbath of the Post-Fall - Pre-Mosaic Period--3- The Sabbath of the Mosaic Period-Old Testament Period

Paul has reminded the children of the congregation to be attentive in keeping the Fifth Commandment. He gave two encouragements to the children- Firstly, because it is righteous to obey their parents - both in the sense of being a just act, but we may also understand it as being a fruit of true faith. Secondly, because it is the first commandment with promise and God will bless them for obeying their Dad and Mom. However, the Apostle sees a further obstacle to the obedience of the child - their fathers---1- Godly Instruction--2- Biblical Punishment--3- Merciful Restraint

The unconverted monk, Martin Luther, worked his hardest to earn his way into heaven - getting angrier, more disappointed, and even more bitter as the years went on. Until, one day, God opened his eyes to the true Gospel.-- 1. The Gospel is God's Way-- 2. The Gospel Is God's Power-- 3. The Gospel Is God's Justice-- 4. The Gospel is God's Mercy-- 5. The Gospel is God's Righteousness

We continue our using part of Rev. - Brakel's work on Divine Providence, taken from his magnum opus, The Christian's Reasonable Service.--We looked at---A- The First Act of God's Providence- Preservation--We're finishing off---B- The Second Act of God's Providence- Cooperation--And we'll start looking at---C. The Third Act of God's Providence- Government

Having examined the deep truth that the Just shall live by faith, the Apostle continues his discourse in examining the wrath of God over those that are the Unjust, and do not live by faith.-- 1. From the Celestial Realms- 2. In the Creation Around- 3. In the Conscience Within- 4. On the Cross of Calvary- 5. In the Call to Repent - Believe

We continue examining this portion of Scripture, looking at the last three points---4. THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST--5. OUR UNION WITH CHRIST--6. THE MINISTER OF CHRIST

With so many so-called Gospels being preached and offered these days- and together with so-called Pentecostal evidences and gifts- it is certainly helpful to open the Bible and let the air clear from the nonsense of the smoke-machines and rock music, and see which Gospel was preached on Pentecost, how it was preached, and how the Spirit of God revealed His power in -The True Gospel Of Pentecost-.--1- The Convicting Preaching-2- The Consciences Pricked-3- The Calling Plea-4- The Captivating Promise

Link to Full Sermon- https---www.youtube.com-watch-v-p3EtBNfwRbY--The Pharisees once again attack Christ and His disciples, not on the basis of Scriptures, but on the basis of their self-righteous, unBiblical and complex sets of rules, which tended to make the Law of God of none effect. The Lord gives a clear and reproving reply to their legalism, showing that He is the true Sabbath.--1. The Disciples Rubbed Their Hands With Grain--2. The Pharisees Rubbed Their Hands With Glee--3. The Saviour Rebukes Their Hypocrisy With God's Word--4. The Lord Reveals His Honour and Glory
