creation on SermonAudio

This sermon expounds on Hebrews 2, focusing on Jesus Christ as the founder of salvation who bridges the gap between God and humanity. The preacher outlines three key aspects: God's aim to renew creation and bring many sons to glory, the accomplishment of this goal through Christ's predestined incarnation and sacrificial death, and the application of these truths for believers' eternal hope. By emphasizing Christ's role as a merciful high priest and pathfinder, the message assures listeners of their secure redemption and future inheritance in the new heavens and earth. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the audience to fix their eyes on the celestial city while living as pilgrims in the present world.

The sermon explores the sovereignty and reliability of God's Word as presented in Isaiah 55, contrasting it with the distrust people place in human media. It outlines three primary functions of Scripture: demanding a response through repentance, displaying divine compassion and riches to sustain believers, and delivering renown by glorifying God rather than humanity. The preacher emphasizes that preaching is a dialogical act where God calls His people to life, using metaphors of rain and snow to illustrate how the Word brings spiritual growth and future hope. Ultimately, the message asserts that all creation rejoices in redemption, and the purpose of God's Word is to make the Lord's name great through the redemptive work of Christ.

Cain brought of the fruit of the ground. Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof, and the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering. Why was the one received and the other refused? Why did God reason with Cain, and comfort him, before ever a hand was raised? And when his brother's blood cried unto God from the ground, what did the judgment of God leave him? The text answers every one, verse by verse.

This sermon examines Genesis 8:13-19, focusing on the moment Noah and the animals exit the ark after the flood.
