This sermon examines the fourth, fifth, and sixth plagues in Egypt, emphasizing that God's repeated warnings demonstrate His mercy and desire for repentance rather than immediate destruction.

This sermon explores the theological attributes of God's eternity and timelessness, distinguishing between the length of His existence and His freedom from temporal constraints. By examining passages such as Psalm 90 and Romans 1, the teaching establishes that God exists outside of time, sees all moments simultaneously, and is not bound by the succession of past, present, and future. The discussion addresses common misunderstandings regarding divine action within time and critiques the view that God is mutable or limited by creation, arguing that such positions undermine His immutability and sovereignty. The core message emphasizes that God's promises are secure because He is not defeated by time, inviting believers to trust in His eternal nature and worship Him as the unchanging Creator who transcends the limitations of human experience.

This sermon explores the identity of God as Jehovah Ropha, the Lord who heals, by examining key biblical narratives of physical and spiritual restoration. It begins with the creation of Adam and the breath of life, establishing that all vitality originates from God's hand. The central focus is on the account at Marah, where God sweetens bitter water through a tree, serving as a typological representation of the cross of Calvary that transforms the bitterness of sin into the sweetness of salvation. The message further illustrates Jesus' compassion and power through His healing of lepers, emphasizing that He willingly touches the unclean to restore purity and life. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to trust in God's sovereign control over every breath and heartbeat, finding comfort in His faithfulness during times of suffering and dependence.

What do you give the God who has everything? What will you give Him out of gratitude for so great a salvation? He already has everything in all creation. If you want to please God, if you want to bring Him glory, then you will desire to do His will, as written in His book, in the name of Christ Jesus, who loved you and gave Himself up for your sins. Serve Him with gladness.
