Westminster Confession of Faith 2.2

What if God never needed anything from us—not our strength, our devotion, or even our worship? What if everything He gives flows out of sheer fullness rather than lack?

In this episode, Pastor Tim walks through the sweeping majesty of WCF 2.2, showing us the God who is life itself, the fountain of all being, and the One before whom angels and men owe worship, service, and obedience.

This is a call to stand in awe, bow in humility, and delight in the all-sufficient God who delights in His people.

CM-013  Interlude: Faith Works and the Covenant of Grace

You serve, you strive, you obey—yet your heart still feels restless. Could it be that the very works meant to express faith have quietly become the ground of your assurance?

Today, Pastor Tim takes a short break from our study of WCF 2.2 to address a vital question: When do good works stop being faith-works and start denying grace?

Confessional Moments — WCF 2.1: “The God Who Is”

There is but one only, living, and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions; immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will, for his own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek him; and withal, most just, and terrible in his judgments; hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty.

CM-010 – WCF 1.10: When the Spirit Speaks – Scripture as the Supreme Judge

Westminster Confession of Faith 1.10

The supreme judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined; and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture.

CM-009 WCF 1.9 — The Only Infallible Interpreter

Westminster Confession of Faith 1.9

The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly.

In this episode, Pastor Tim unpacks Westminster Confession 1.9, showing how the principle of Sola Scriptura shapes the way we read and understand the Bible. Listeners are reminded that Scripture is both the believer’s final authority and its own best interpreter, revealing God’s truth with perfect unity and clarity.

Confessional Moments WCF 1.8 – “The Word in Every Tongue”

The Old Testament in Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek, being immediately inspired by God, and by His singular care and providence kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical; so that in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to appeal unto them. But because these original tongues are not known to all the people of God, they are to be translated into the vulgar language of every nation, that the Word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they may worship Him acceptably and have hope.

In this episode of Confessional Moments, Pastor Tim reflects on how God has preserved His Word and made it known in every language. From faithful translation to divine preservation, WCF 1.8 reminds us that the authority of Scripture transcends culture and time, calling every believer to read, hear, and live by the Word of God.

“We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture; and the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole, (which is, to give all glory to God,) the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it doth abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God; yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth, and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.”

In this episode of Confessional Moments, Pastor Tim Beauchamp reflects on how believers come to full assurance that Scripture is truly the Word of God. While the Church may move us to esteem the Bible, it is the inward work of the Holy Spirit that convinces our hearts of its divine truth and authority.

Join Pastor Tim as he unpacks the internal evidences of Scripture, the unity of its message, and the Spirit’s personal testimony that brings the Word to life in every believer.

The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed and obeyed, dependeth not upon the testimony of any man or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself), the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God.

The Westminster Confession reminds us that Scripture’s authority stands not on human approval or church decree, but on the character of God Himself, who is truth.

In this episode, Pastor Tim Beauchamp reflects on what it means to receive the Bible as God’s own Word — the voice that commands faith, shapes obedience, and comforts believers with unchanging truth. Through biblical reflection and pastoral insight, we’re invited to stand under the authority of the Word that never fails.
