This lesson returns to the elements of worship, the acts God requires in his Word. It compares the three elements Calvin found in Acts 2:42 with the fuller list in the Westminster Confession 21.5, then follows the OPC Book of Church Order, which arranges the elements as a dialogue in which God speaks and his people respond. The reading and preaching of the Word stand at the center of Reformed worship because God himself speaks through them. Nehemiah 8 shows Ezra reading the law and giving its sense to all who could understand, children included, and Deuteronomy 31, Luke 4, 1 Timothy 4:13 and Colossians 4:16 confirm the practice. Psalm 100 and Hebrews 10 ground the call to worship, which reminds the congregation that God summons his people into his presence.

Today's sermon explores the second petition of the Lord's Prayer, 'Thy kingdom come,' by examining its theological depth through the lens of John Calvin and various Reformed catechisms. Pastor Jason argues that this petition is not redundant but essential for addressing human spiritual lethargy, requiring believers to pray with understanding rather than mere recitation. The central message outlines three specific goals for this prayer: the destruction of Satan's kingdom, the advancement of the kingdom of grace, and the hastening of the kingdom of glory. By defining the 'kingdom' as the dynamic rule and reign of God, the sermon emphasizes that prayer aligns human desires with God's sovereign plan, acknowledging human impotence while trusting in divine power. Ultimately urging the congregation to cultivate knowledge, love for the church, and faith to pray effectively for God's ultimate triumph.

Series: Heritage Day Series - John Calvin Subject: Calvin "Arrested" in Geneva

The sermon presents a comprehensive refutation of Calvinism, arguing that its core tenets contradict the character of God, the clarity of Scripture, and the reality of human free will. The speaker challenges the doctrine of unconditional election and limited atonement by citing numerous biblical passages that affirm God's universal love and the availability of salvation to all people. By contrasting the Calvinist view of total depravity and irresistible grace with the biblical order of hearing, repentance, and faith, the lecture asserts that salvation is a result of human response rather than divine coercion. The tone is instructional and convicting, aiming to equip believers to identify and reject what is described as a deceitful theological system that undermines the sovereignty of God as revealed in the Bible.
