This message reviews the Tabernacle's curtains, coverings, boards, bars, and veils, showing how each points to the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fine linen and its colours picture Christ's perfect humanity, heavenly origin, kingship, and sacrificial death, while the coverings portray Him as our sin-bearer whose glory was veiled in human flesh. The boards resting upon silver sockets illustrate the believer's security upon the firm foundation of Christ's redemption and atonement. Finally, the veil points directly to Christ: through His body being broken and His blood shed, the way into God's presence has been opened. In Christ, believers are covered, secure, redeemed, and given direct access to God.

The sermon examines Paul's self-introduction in 1 Corinthians to highlight the divine calling and humility required of spiritual leaders. It addresses the tension between defending one's ministry against false accusations and remaining silent, arguing that defense is necessary when the church is threatened by error. The preacher emphasizes that true authority stems from God's sovereign will rather than human ambition, urging believers to respect leadership while maintaining personal humility. Additionally, the message underscores the theological reality of definitive sanctification, reminding the congregation that they are set apart as saints despite their ongoing struggles with sin. Ultimately, the sermon concludes by pointing to the sufficiency of God's grace and peace as the foundation for transformation and hope within the church.

The sermon explores Psalm 98 as a celebration of the complete victory of Christ and the establishment of His righteous kingdom. It traces the psalm's context within the structure of the Psalter, highlighting the transition from lament in Book 3 to hope and royal reign in Books 4 and 5. The preacher identifies the 'marvelous things' mentioned in the text as the redemptive work of the Son of God, whose salvation is revealed to all nations. This theological foundation compels believers to sing with joyful exuberance rather than mere obligation. The message concludes by urging the congregation to deepen their acquaintance with Scripture and to express their faith through vocal praise and family worship.

The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual strength lies in mastering one's inner emotions rather than pursuing external achievements. Drawing from Proverbs 16:32 and the example of King Solomon, it argues that self-control is the foundation for any lasting ministry or personal victory. The message challenges listeners to own their feelings and apply God's promises to regulate their reactions in daily life. It highlights that without this private discipline, individuals remain vulnerable to sin and spiritual defeat. Ultimately, the text asserts that divine grace, not mere willpower, enables believers to yield their spirit to God's leading.

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.

The sermon examines the parable of the wise and foolish builders to distinguish between superficial religion and genuine faith rooted in Christ. It argues that many believers rest on unstable foundations such as family heritage, external rituals, or emotional experiences rather than personal trust in Jesus. Through the metaphor of digging deep to reach bedrock, the text emphasizes the necessity of self-denial and removing anything incompatible with God's teachings. The preacher warns that life's trials and ultimate judgment will expose these weak foundations, causing those without true faith to collapse. Ultimately, only a life founded entirely on the Lord Jesus Christ can withstand the storms of temptation and suffering.

The sermon explores the nuanced meaning of divine hatred, distinguishing it from human emotional hostility and defining it as a deliberate disregard or separation from sin. It then transitions to an analysis of biblical miracles, arguing that they served specific historical purposes to authenticate covenant mediators like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. The speaker contends that miraculous signs were not random displays of power but confirmatory seals validating the authority of God's messengers and the inauguration of the Kingdom. By examining Old Testament precedents and New Testament fulfillments, the text establishes that miracles functioned primarily to attest to the truth of Scripture and the identity of the Messiah. The discussion concludes by suggesting that while miracles occurred in specific eras to establish divine authority, their primary role was tied to the foundational periods of biblical revelation.
