creation on SermonAudio

Study in the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

This sermon explores the doctrine of God's providence through the narrative of Joseph in Genesis 50, emphasizing that God orchestrates events to accomplish His will even amidst human failure and suffering. The central message asserts that God preserves what is a priority to Him, including His creation, His Word, His people, and the redemption plan centered on Christ. By using the metaphor of a chess game, the teaching illustrates how God sees multiple moves ahead, placing individuals in specific circumstances to fulfill His divine purposes, such as Joseph's rise to power to save many lives. The tone is pastoral and reassuring, encouraging believers to trust in God's wisdom and care rather than relying on their own understanding or demanding immediate comfort. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a surrender of personal control, affirming that God's providential care is sufficient for those who trust in His sovereign plan.

This sermon explores the theological contrast between Babylon and the New Jerusalem, defining the believer's true identity as the bride of Christ rather than a product of past sin or failure. It emphasizes that while believers are already new creations in Christ, the process of sanctification continues through life's trials, which God uses to conform them to the image of Jesus. Drawing on Revelation 21 and 1 Peter 2, the message presents the church as living stones being built into a spiritual house, with Christ as the cornerstone. The preacher encourages the congregation to reject self-defined identities rooted in guilt and to embrace the secure, holy status granted by the gospel. Ultimately, the sermon points to the future hope of perfection and eternal dwelling with God in the New Jerusalem.
