This sermon examines Leviticus 20 to explore the relationship between God's moral law, justice, and love. The preacher explains that while the text details severe punishments for transgressions against family and religious covenant, these laws ultimately reveal the seriousness of sin rather than promoting a theology of fear. The central message emphasizes that obedience should stem from love for God, who sanctifies His people, rather than merely avoiding retribution. By contrasting the wages of sin with the free gift of eternal life in Christ, the sermon highlights Jesus as the only means of escape from divine wrath. The conclusion calls listeners to flee to the cross for forgiveness and to live lives of holiness grounded in faith.

Richard Adams's sermon titled "Of Hell" (subtitled in some editions as "The Wicked Shall Depart from Christ into the Greatest Torments") was preached in May 1659. Context & Publication Series Origin: It was delivered as part of The Morning Exercise Methodized, a series of 28 sermons organized by Thomas Case and preached at St. Giles in the Fields, London, in May 1659. First Publication: The collection was published in 1660 as a systematic overview of Christian doctrine. Text & Topic: Preached on Matthew 25:41 ("Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels"), the sermon provides an exposition of eternal punishment, distinguishing between the pœna damni (the pain of loss) and pœna sensûs (the pain of sense).

Dr. Jon Jacobs explores the doctrine of eschatology, specifically focusing on the general resurrection of the dead and the final judgment at Christ's return. Drawing primarily from Philippians 3 and 1 Corinthians 15, Dr. Jacobs argues against theories of multiple resurrections, affirming a single event where both the righteous and wicked are raised simultaneously. This details the nature of the resurrected body as imperishable and glorious, while also addressing the reality of hell as God's just domain for eternal punishment.

The sermon teaches that God's covenant with Noah is a gracious, universal promise to preserve life and the created order until His greater redemptive plan is fulfilled in Christ. As a new Adam on a renewed earth, Noah receives once again the mandate to be fruitful, multiply, and exercise dominion, while God expands His provision by permitting the eating of animals, yet preserving the sanctity of life by requiring respect for blood and establishing capital punishment because every human being bears the image of God. The Noahic Covenant is presented as an unconditional covenant of common grace, guaranteeing that God will never again destroy the earth by a worldwide flood despite humanity's continuing sinfulness, thereby preserving the world for the coming of the promised Redeemer. The rainbow, God's covenant sign, is explained as His "bow" hung in the heavens—a symbol that His judgment has been restrained and His mercy triumphs over wrath, reflecting the very radiance of His glory. The sermon concludes by showing that while the Noahic Covenant preserves temporal life, the New Covenant infinitely surpasses it through Jesus Christ, whose sacrificial death satisfies God's demand for justice, secures eternal forgiveness, removes the curse, and guarantees an everlasting inheritance in the new creation where God's glorious presence will forever replace every covenant sign.

The sermon explores the biblical doctrine of the eternal state, detailing the destiny of both believers and unbelievers after death. It emphasizes the universal bodily resurrection, where the righteous are raised to eternal life with glorified bodies similar to Christ's, while the unrighteous face judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in hell. Drawing from passages such as John 5, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 20, the message clarifies that physical death is not final but a transition to an immutable eternity determined by one's faith in Jesus Christ. The preacher urges listeners to recognize the urgency of their current spiritual standing, as this choice alone dictates whether they enter into the presence of God or face the second death. Ultimately, the teaching serves as both a comfort for believers awaiting reunion with Christ and a sobering warning to unbelievers regarding the reality of divine judgment.

This sermon examines the parable of the barren fig tree in Luke 13 to address human questions regarding suffering and divine justice. It refutes the assumption that tragedies are direct punishments for specific sins, emphasizing instead that all people stand condemned and require repentance. The preacher defines biblical repentance as involving confession, contrition, and a tangible change in direction toward God. Using the imagery of the fig tree, the text warns that while God offers patience and opportunity, there is a limit to grace before judgment arrives. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to seize the present day of salvation through faith in Christ to avoid eternal perishing.
