Death on SermonAudio

In "God Brought His Own Tent," Charles Sebold finishes Luke 9:28-36. Moses and Elijah spoke of the exodus Jesus would fulfill at Jerusalem, while the disciples were heavy with sleep, as they would be again in Gethsemane while He prayed about His death. Yet Jesus does not cast them off for their weakness; He wants them with Him. Waking, they see His glory. Moses only reflected a fading glory and had to veil it; on the mountain Jesus' veil comes off, and the glory is His own. John would write "we have seen his glory," and Peter "we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." As Moses and Elijah depart, Peter proposes three tents, and Charles names two problems: Peter levels Jesus with the Law and the Prophets, and he wants to stay where there is glory and no cross. Last week Peter wanted the Christ without the crucifixion; now he wants the glory without the exodus, and the Father Himself interrupts. God has already pitched His own tent: the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. The cloud is the Presence that filled the tabernacle, the same word used of the Spirit overshadowing Mary. The voice speaks three phrases: "My Son" names His Person where Peter named His office; "My Chosen One" recalls Isaiah's Servant, words His mockers will throw back at Him on the cross; and "Listen to Him" fulfills Moses' promise of a prophet like himself, with Moses there to hear it. Then Jesus is found alone. The Law and the Prophets do not get tents; they get fulfilled. The mountain is the hinge, and the road to Jerusalem begins here. We have the eyewitnesses' word confirmed, so where we are tempted to build a tent and settle in, the Father's word is the same: listen to Him.

1. The Sabbath-Breaker's Sin 2. Jehovah's Verdict 3. The People's Response

An exposition of Chapter 32 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, treating the biblical doctrine of the last judgment under three headings drawn directly from the confession's three paragraphs. The session situates this chapter within the broader framework of eschatology, distinguishing individual eschatology (death, intermediate state, resurrection) from cosmic eschatology (Christ's rule, final judgment, eternal state), and grounds each confessional claim in the relevant biblical texts. Main points: - the nature of the Day of Judgment (paragraph 1) - the purpose of the Day of Judgment (paragraph 2) - the practical relevance of the Day of Judgment (paragraph 3) Scripture references: - Psalms 50:3-4; 96:13 - Ecclesiastes 12:14 - Daniel 12:2 - Matthew 11:21-24; 12:36-37; 13:49-50; 16:27; 24:36; 25:31-46 - John 5:22-29 - Acts 1:7; 3:19-21; 10:42; 17:30-31 - Romans 2:5-16; 14:10-12 - 1 Corinthians 4:5; 15:20-28 - 2 Corinthians 5:10 - 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10 - 2 Timothy 4:1 - Hebrews 9:27; 10:27 - 2 Peter 2:4; 3:11-14 - Jude 6; 14-15 - Revelation 20:11-15 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sunday-school-2lcf-chapter-32-of-last-judgement Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

The death of Elisha and the reign of Amaziah.

Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements in this sacrament, then also inwardly by faith, really and indeed, yet not carnally and corporally, but spiritually, receive and feed upon Christ crucified, and all benefits of his death: the body and blood of Christ being then not corporally or carnally in, with, or under the bread and wine; yet as really, but spiritually, present to the faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are, to their outward senses.

How can we face the uncertainty, suffering, and immortality of this present life with eternity in view? Because God has prepared an eternal dwelling for us, and given us his spirit as the guarantee we can face this temporary life with a certainty of everlasting life.
