An exposition of Chapter 28 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, which serves as a brief introductory chapter to the two gospel ordinances before the Confession treats each in dedicated chapters (29 and 30). The sermon examines the two compact paragraphs of this chapter, unpacking the Baptist doctrine that baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of positive and sovereign institution, appointed by Christ as the sole lawgiver, to be continued in his church and administered only by those duly qualified and called. Main points: - the nature of the ordinances as Christ's sovereign institution, not human invention - the significance of the ordinances as living symbols consecrated by Christ's own word - the requirement that the ordinances be administered by those qualified and called according to Christ's commission Scripture references: - Matthew 28:19-20 - 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sunday-school-2lcf-chapter-28-of-baptism-and-the-lords-supper-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An exposition of 1 Timothy 2:3–7 grounding the church's call to corporate prayer in the gospel itself. The passage establishes that the universal scope of gospel proclamation — one God, one mediator, a ransom testified to all peoples — is the theological reason Paul commands the church to pray for all men, including kings and those in authority. Main points: - the command for corporate prayer and its scope - the gospel foundation: God's saving desire and the one mediator - Paul's apostolic appointment as preacher to the Gentiles Scripture references: - 1 Timothy 1:18; 2:1-7 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-2-the-gospel-foundation-for-corporate-prayer Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An exposition of Psalm 18:31–50, the third and final installment on this psalm, examining the fortification of the psalmist. The sermon reads this passage Christologically, understanding verses 31–50 as depicting the exaltation and present reign of Christ — his session at the right hand of the Father, his conquest of enemies, and the universal scope of his rule over all nations. Main points: - the fortification of the psalmist: the strength and protection supplied by God - the conquest of enemies: Christ's subjugation of all who oppose him - the exaltation and reign: Christ as head of the nations, praised among the Gentiles Scripture references: - Psalms 2; 18:31-50; 110 - Matthew 28:18-20 - Romans 15:9 - Ephesians 1:20-23 - Hebrews 1:3; 2:5-9 - Revelation 19:11-16 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-18-the-deliverance-of-the-psalmist-part-3 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Galatians 5:1–6 marks a hinge in Paul's letter — moving from his theological defence of justification by faith alone into its exhortative implications. This sermon expounds the liberty that Christ has secured for his people, the grave danger of seeking justification through law-keeping, and the nature of the faith that works through love, contrasting evangelical freedom with the yoke of legal bondage. Main points: - the liberty the gospel gives and the command to stand fast in it - the peril of falling back into legal bondage — estrangement from Christ and the fall from grace - the true hope of righteousness through faith working by love Scripture references: - Galatians 3:1-29; 4:1-31; 5:1-6 - Romans 3:20-28; 8:1-4 - 1 Corinthians 7:19 - Philippians 3:2-9 - James 2:10 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-galatians-5-the-gospels-precious-liberty Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Psalm 18:20–30 is expounded as a declaration of the righteousness of God's anointed king, with David functioning not merely as author but as prophet pointing to Christ. The sermon examines how God's moral character governs His dealings with men — rewarding the righteous and resisting the proud — and how the believer's confidence in battle and in darkness rests entirely on the perfection of God's way and word. Main points: - the righteousness of the psalmist before God (vv. 20–24) - the moral character of God in His dealings with men (vv. 25–26) - the deliverance and fortification God gives to the humble (vv. 27–30) Scripture references: - Psalms 18:20-30 - 2 Samuel 22 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-18-the-deliverance-of-the-psalmist-part-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An exposition of Chapter 27 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, treating the doctrine of the communion of saints as grounded in the believer's union with Christ. The sermon works through both paragraphs of the chapter, showing that the horizontal communion believers share with one another flows necessarily from their vertical union with Christ by the Spirit and through faith, and that this communion carries binding duties both spiritual and material. Main points: - the nature of the communion of saints, founded upon union with Christ - the duties involved in the communion of saints Scripture references: - Acts 2:42-47 - Romans 15:26-27 - 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 - Galatians 6:10 - Ephesians 4:15-16 - Hebrews 10:24-25 - 1 John 1:3-7 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sunday-school-2lcf-chapter-27-of-the-communion-of-the-saints Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Psalm 18:1–19 records David's praise to God for deliverance from his enemies, including Saul, and this exposition traces the movement from David's crisis and cry to God's theophanic response and the rescue he accomplished. The sermon grounds the believer's confidence in prayer on the character of God as rock, fortress, and deliverer, and reads David's deliverance typologically as pointing to the greater deliverance secured by Christ the anointed King. Main points: - the psalmist's declaration of love and trust in God as his strength and refuge (vv. 1–3) - the psalmist's desperate cry from the grip of death and Sheol (vv. 4–6) - God's theophanic intervention on behalf of his anointed (vv. 7–15) - the psalmist's rescue and the ground of God's delight in him (vv. 16–19) Scripture references: - Psalm 18:1-19 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-18-the-deliverance-of-the-psalmist-part-1 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An exposition of Joshua 2 tracing the conversion of Rahab, a Canaanite harlot whose faith in the God of Israel set her apart from the condemned city of Jericho. The sermon examines the sovereign grace of God in bringing a most unlikely recipient to saving faith, the nature of that faith as evidenced by her confession and her actions, and the scarlet cord as a token of covenant protection. Main points: - the character of Rahab and the sovereign grace that reached her - the content and confession of Rahab's faith in the LORD - the scarlet cord as a sign of preservation and its redemptive-historical significance Scripture references: - Joshua 2:1-24 - Matthew 1:5 - Hebrews 11:31 - James 2:25 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-joshua-2-the-conversion-of-rahab-the-harlot-4 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An exposition of Chapter 26 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, tracing the confession's doctrine of the church as it flows from all preceding chapters. The sermon demonstrates that the church is constituted by Christ's sovereign call through the ministry of the Word and Spirit, and that Christ as head is the supreme object of the church's allegiance and obedience. The confession's christocentric framing — naming Christ at least twelve times in the chapter — shapes the entire discussion of ecclesiology. Main points: - Christ as head of the church and the christocentric shape of confession chapter 26 - the church as the gathered company of those called out of the world by Christ through Word and Spirit - the convergence of all prior doctrinal heads — Scripture, the triune God, election, and salvation — in the doctrine of the church Scripture references: - Song of Solomon 5:10 - Matthew 16:18 - Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:11-16 - Colossians 1:18 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-2lcf-chapter-26-of-the-church Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Psalm 17 is a prayer of the righteous one crying out to God for vindication against deadly enemies. This exposition argues that the psalm belongs primarily to the Lord Jesus Christ according to his human nature — his righteousness, his prayerfulness, his defenselessness, and his resurrection hope — and that the church appropriates it by virtue of his imputed righteousness received through faith alone. Main points: - the petition of the psalmist (verses 1–9), with three arguments: his righteousness (verses 3–5), his prayerfulness (verses 6–7), and his defenselessness (verses 8–9) - the description of the enemies (verses 10–12) - the expectation of the psalmist (verses 13–15) Scripture references: - Deuteronomy 32:10-11 - Psalms 5; 7; 10; 12; 15; 16:8-11; 17:1-15; 22:11-21; 42-43; 102 - Isaiah 53:9; 62 - Matthew 16; 26; 27 - Luke 18 - Romans 8:28 - Philippians 2:8 - Hebrews 5 - 1 Peter 2 - Revelation 21-22 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-the-expectation-of-the-righteous-one-psalm-17-1-15 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
