We need to present Jesus as the beauty and blessing that he is and not simply as a burden we make others bear.

The Trinity is not a secondary doctrine or mere theological language. The Bible teaches that there is one true God who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Title: Praying the 4th Petition 1. What are we asking for? 2. When are we asking to receive it? 3. From whom must we expect it?

This sermon explores the biblical command to rejoice in the Lord always and to let moderation be known to all, drawing primarily from Philippians 4:4-5. The speaker argues that Christian joy is a deliberate act of the will grounded in the secure character of God rather than fleeting emotions or favorable circumstances. By examining the attributes of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the text highlights how divine love, power, and redemption provide an unshakeable foundation for gratitude even amidst suffering. The message further connects this rejoicing to the virtue of gentleness, urging believers to exhibit meekness in conflicts while trusting in the imminent presence and return of Christ. Ultimately, true and lasting happiness is found exclusively through faith in Christ and the assurance of one's name being written in the Book of Life.

The Safety of Suffering Christians (1 Peter 4:19) This sermon exhorts believers to entrust their souls to God during times of persecution and uncontrollable hardship. It emphasizes that suffering occurs under God's sovereign will, removing the notion of random chance or victimhood. The preacher highlights God as the faithful creator who possesses both the power and the moral character to preserve those who belong to Him. Believers are commanded to continuously commit their lives to His care while actively continuing in good works rather than retreating into passivity. This posture of trust and obedience serves as a powerful witness, demonstrating that the Christian's security rests solely in God's unchanging faithfulness.

This sermon explores the Christian call to endure persecution by arming oneself with the mindset of Christ, who suffered sinlessly for humanity. Pastor Batzig outlines a framework for facing trials in light of the past, present, and future, emphasizing that believers are strangers in the world yet stewards within the church. Suffering is presented not as condemnation but as a divine refining process that purifies the believer for eternal glory. By focusing on Christ's sacrifice and the impending judgment of the wicked, Christians find the strength to rejoice amidst affliction rather than compromise their faith. The sermon concludes with an exhortation to remain steadfast in hope and service while awaiting the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The sermon explores the Christian's primary role in the world as defined by Jesus in Matthew 5, identifying believers as salt and light. It emphasises that Christians must maintain a distinctiveness from secular culture through holiness and good works, thereby influencing society positively. The preacher warns against becoming tasteless or hidden, urging the congregation to avoid assimilation and instead live with bold visibility. Practical application involves abiding in Christ to produce fruit, fearing God, and loving Him to sustain this public witness. Ultimately, this distinct and visible lifestyle aims to glorify God and draw others to faith.
