This sermon explores the imperative for Christian unity and forgiveness as central expressions of love, grounded in the exhortations of 1 Peter 3:8-12. Tomi argues that love naturally produces church unity through humble service and compassion, mirroring the example of Christ's self-emptying sacrifice. He further asserts that love necessitates forgiveness, urging believers to refrain from retaliation and instead bless those who wrong them, thereby reflecting the character of God. The sermon concludes by connecting these acts of love and obedience to the promise of eternal life, because God rewards faithful perseverance with His favor and vindication. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, calling the congregation to rely on Christ's grace to fulfill this high calling in a world marked by opposition.

LORD'S DAY 27 OF HOLY BAPTISM Heritage Reformed Congregation of Grand Rapids Lord's Day 27 Home / Our Beliefs / Heidelberg Catechism / Lord's Day 27 Question 74: Are infants also to be baptized? Answer: Yes: for since they, as well as the adult, are included in the covenant and church of God; and since redemption from sin by the blood of Christ, and the Holy Ghost, the author of faith, is promised to them no less than to the adult; they must therefore by baptism, as a sign of the covenant, be also admitted into the christian church; and be distinguished 9from the children of unbelievers as was done in the old covenant or testament by circumcision, instead of which baptism is instituted in the new covenant.

This sermon explores the doctrine of grace as God's response to humanity's spiritual need, grounded in the testimony of John the Baptist and the person of Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that grace is revealed through the Son, who is the true light illuminating every person, and that salvation is received solely by faith rather than through human effort or religious works. It highlights that God receives lost sinners by grace, offering them the power to become children of God, a truth illustrated by biblical figures from Noah to David. Furthermore, the sermon addresses the ongoing role of grace in the life of the believer, citing Hebrews 4:16 to encourage Christians to approach the throne of grace boldly for help in times of need. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the congregation to recognize their unworthiness and rely entirely on God's mercy and provision.

This sermon explores the practical application of Christian living for women, specifically addressing the instructions in Titus 2:3-5. It argues that true beauty is found in Jesus Christ, who became ugly to save those who are ugly in sin, and that believers are called to adorn the doctrine of God through their conduct. The message outlines three key areas for godly women: avoiding slander and self-control, cultivating deep love for husbands and children, and maintaining a chaste, discreet, and home-centered lifestyle. By embracing these virtues, women reflect the transformative power of grace and provide a beautiful witness to a world that often mocks such values. The sermon concludes with a call to faithfulness in one's current state and an invitation for the unconverted to find true beauty in the Savior.

This sermon examines the biblical definition of a blessed life by contrasting the world's materialistic pursuit of happiness with the wisdom literature of Psalm 128. It argues that true blessedness is not measured by wealth or success but is found in fearing the Lord and walking in His ways. The text explores the specific blessings of labor, marriage, and children, acknowledging that while sin has introduced pain and struggle into these areas, they remain gifts from God. The message emphasizes that human effort alone is insufficient for true blessedness, pointing instead to Christ as the source of all spiritual blessings and the one who secures peace for His people. The sermon concludes with a call to trust in God's providence and to seek His favor through faithful obedience rather than self-reliance.

This sermon examines the second epistle of John, emphasizing the central role of truth in the Christian life and the church's identity. The message outlines three key aspects of truth: the affirmation of unity among believers who are born of the Word and indwelt by the Spirit of Truth; the encouragement found in the joy and fellowship that comes from walking in obedience to God's commands; and the exhortation to live out love by remembering the source of God's commandments and the grace that called believers to salvation. The preacher contrasts the objective reality of biblical truth with the relativism of postmodern culture, urging believers to remain discerning against false teaching while maintaining a lifestyle of holiness. By grounding love in truth and truth in the character of God, the sermon calls the church to a steadfast commitment to the gospel, ensuring that their faith remains anchored in the eternal reality of Christ rather than cultural trends.

This sermon examines the radical transformation that occurs when a person becomes a Christian, contrasting the futile and ignorant existence of the old self with the new life in Christ. It emphasizes that believers have already shed their old nature, are currently being renewed in their minds, and have put on the new man created in righteousness. The preacher urges believers to recognize this definitive break with their past as the basis for their daily conduct, rejecting the notion of a 'carnal Christian' who remains in habitual sin. By understanding the severity of their former state, believers can better appreciate God's grace and are called to consistently choose actions that reflect their new identity in Christ, thereby glorifying God in every aspect of their lives.

The sermon explores the theological distinction between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit's primary purpose in a believer's life is to conform them to the image of Christ. Drawing on Galatians 5 and John 15, the message illustrates that spiritual productivity is not achieved through human effort or religious pretense but through intimate, daily abiding in Jesus, who is the true vine. The preacher warns against the danger of outward religiosity that lacks inward transformation, noting that God judges the heart's motivations rather than mere external actions. By referencing Charles Spurgeon's insights on love and joy, the sermon highlights that true Christian joy and righteousness flow from a surrendered heart that rests in Christ's atonement. Ultimately, the call is for believers to pursue daily surrender and repentance, trusting that God will use their unique gifts to produce eternal fruit, regardless of their social standing or the scale of their ministry.

This sermon examines the Corinthian church's self-deception, where believers claimed spiritual maturity and abundance while remaining in need of grace. Paul uses biting irony to expose their pride, contrasting their perceived status with the apostles' suffering and humility. The message challenges the modern tendency to prioritize appearances and comfort over authentic faithfulness, arguing that true spiritual health is found in acknowledging weakness rather than masking it. It emphasizes that biblical love involves loving correction and confrontation of sin, rather than mere acceptance or silence. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life shaped by Christ's example, where doctrine produces obedience and believers rely daily on divine grace.
