CHURCH on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the radical transformation required of believers through an exegesis of Ephesians 4:17-24. The speaker contrasts the emptiness and spiritual darkness of the unregenerate life with the purpose and light found in Christ. Central to the message is the call to actively put off the corrupt old nature, renew the mind through God's Word, and put on the new man created in righteousness. The preacher emphasizes that true faith necessitates a visible change in behavior and thinking, rejecting cultural influences in favor of biblical truth. Ultimately, the text urges listeners to embrace their new identity in Christ by consistently replacing sinful habits with godly conduct.

This extensive examination of almost two dozen different Bible passages dispels the false teachings regarding the origin of the church and presents the biblical evidence as to when the church actually started.

Greetings and welcome! This is our daily devotional for September 3, 2026. Today, we continue our series on Exodus in Chapter 2, where we are first introduced to Moses and the beautiful truth that God makes a way. Thanks for joining us!

This devotional explores the Heidelberg Catechism's teaching on the Lord's Supper, clarifying that partaking in the sacrament requires a believing heart rather than mere ritual observance. It distinguishes between baptism as an initiating covenant sign and communion as a nourishing act dependent on active faith. The preacher explains that eating Christ's body signifies accepting His sacrifice through trust and being spiritually united to Him via the Holy Spirit. By examining passages from John 6, Romans 8, and Ephesians 4, the message emphasizes that true faith involves a deep, transformative union with Christ and the church. Ultimately, the Lord's Supper serves as a means of grace where the Spirit applies the benefits of redemption to believers.
