Deuteronomy 14 addresses three domains of Israel's covenant life — mourning practices, dietary regulations, and tithing — each governed by the same undergirding rationale: "You are a holy people to the Lord your God." This exposition traces how those ceremonial and civil arrangements functioned under the old covenant and how their underlying principles carry forward, transformed, into new covenant obedience. Main points: - the regulation concerning mourning rites (verses 1-2) - the regulation concerning dietary laws (verses 3-21) - the regulation concerning the tithe (verses 22-29) Scripture references: - Exodus 19:6; 23:19; 34:26 - Leviticus 11:2-23; 11:44-45; 17:10-14; 20:26 - Deuteronomy 5; 7:1-6; 12:16 - Psalm 110 - Proverbs 12:10 - Isaiah 53; 56:7 - Jeremiah 7:11 - Zechariah 6:12-13 - Malachi 3:8-12 - Matthew 23:23 - John 2:20-22; 15:1 - Romans 12:1 - 1 Thessalonians 4:13 - 1 Timothy 3:14-15 - Titus 2:14 - Hebrews - James 1:27 - 1 Peter 2:9-11 - Revelation 1:6 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/bible-study-deuteronomy-14-1-29-laws-of-death-diet-and-tithing Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon examines the faithful saying of 1 Timothy 1:15-17 — that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners — exploring its glorious content, its merciful application in Paul as chief of sinners and pattern for all who will believe, and the doxology that saving grace necessarily produces. Main points: - the faithful saying — a standard truth received by the church - the glorious content — the mission and work of the Son - the merciful application — Paul as pattern for believers Scripture references: - 1 Samuel 20:1-23 - Psalms 14; 27:7-14; 65 - Jeremiah 10:10 - Matthew 1; 9; 20:28 - Luke 19:10 - John 1:14 - Romans 4:25 - 1 Corinthians 1:23-24; 14 - 2 Corinthians 8:9 - Galatians - Ephesians 1 - Philippians 2:7; 3 - 1 Timothy 1:3; 1:6; 1:11; 1:15; 1:17; 3:1; 3:16; 4:9 - 2 Timothy 2:11-13 - Titus 3:8 - Hebrews 2:14; 7 - 1 John 2 - Revelation 15:3 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-1-the-gospel-committed-to-the-apostle-paul Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Psalm 16 is read christologically: the earnest petition, joyful contentment, and steadfast confidence of the psalmist are first and foremost the mind of Christ in his earthly ministry, as both Peter (Acts 2) and Paul (Acts 13) explicitly apply this psalm to the Lord Jesus. The sermon works through verses 1–6, with verses 7–11 deferred to the following week, tracing how the man of sorrows maintained joyful contentment through his relationship with the Father, his delight in the saints, his rejection of the wicked, and his sufficiency in God's portion and providence. Main points: - the earnest petition of the psalmist (verse 1) - the joyful contentment of the psalmist (verses 2–6) Scripture references: - Psalms 1; 2; 7; 8; 12; 14; 15; 16:1-6; 17; 22; 86; 119 - Isaiah 53 - Matthew 6 - John 1:1; 1:14; 3:16; 3:36; 6:68; 8; 15:21; 15:23; 17 - Acts 2; 13:35-37 - Galatians 2:20 - Philippians 3 - 1 Timothy 1; 6 - Hebrews 2:10; 12 - Revelation 1 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-16-the-resurrection-hope-of-the-righteous-one Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Deuteronomy 13 addresses three forms of solicitation to apostasy: the false prophet who performs signs and wonders, the intimate family member or friend who entices secretly, and the corrupt men who draw entire cities into idolatry. This expository study works through Moses' warnings to the second generation of Israel on the plains of Moab, examining the nature of each solicitation, the due-process safeguards embedded in the legislation, and the capital penalties prescribed — all grounded in the gravity of defecting from the God who redeemed his people from Egypt. Main points: - First, the solicitation from false prophets (verses 1–5) - Secondly, the solicitation from family and friends (verses 6–11) - Thirdly, the solicitation from corrupt men in society (verses 12–18) Scripture references: - Genesis 22:1 - Numbers 12:6 - Deuteronomy 8:2; 11:26-28; 13; 17:7; 18:20; 19:15 - 1 Samuel 28 - Ecclesiastes 8:11 - Romans 9:3; 12:1-2; 13:1-4 - 1 Corinthians 11:19; 12:3; 16:22 - Galatians 1:6-9 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/bible-study-deuteronomy-13-the-solicitation-to-apostasy Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An exposition of Luke 22:14–23 examining Christ's institution of the Lord's Supper on the night of his betrayal. The sermon moves through two heads — the bread and the wine — tracing the biblical theology of each element from the curse of Genesis 3 through the Exodus typology, and applying the particularity of Christ's self-giving ("for you") to the believing soul's spiritual nourishment at the supper. Main points: - the bread: giving of thanks and the overturning of the curse - the bread as Christ's body given for you — remembrance and the Passover connection - the wine: the cup of the new covenant and redemption Scripture references: - Genesis 3:17-18 - Exodus 6:1-7; 12:14; 12:24 - 1 Samuel 19 - Psalms 59:16-17; 119 - Isaiah 55:1; 55:13 - Luke 22:14-23 - Romans 8 - 1 Corinthians 10 - Jude 24-25 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-luke-22-the-supper-on-betrayal-night Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Romans 6:1–4 confronts the antinomian objection — "shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?" — by grounding the call to sanctification in the believer's union with Christ, pictured in baptism. The inseparability of justification and sanctification is shown to flow from the twin works of Christ for us and the Spirit in us. Main points: - the absurd question (verse 1) - the emphatic rejection (verse 2) - the soteriological foundation (verses 3–4) Scripture references: - Psalms 32; 78 - Jeremiah 23:6 - John 16:7 - Acts - Romans 1:18; 3:5; 3:20-21; 4; 5:1; 5:12-21; 6:12-13; 6:15; 7; 7:7; 8; 8:9; 9:11; 9:14; 10; 11:1; 12-16 - 1 Corinthians 1 - Galatians 3:27; 4:4; 4:6 - Colossians 2:12 - 1 John 3:24 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-romans-6-the-sanctifying-benefit-of-the-gospel Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Paul's account of his own conversion in 1 Timothy 1:12–14 serves as both a doxology of sovereign grace and a refutation of the false teachers troubling Ephesus. The sermon traces the apostle's gratitude for his calling, the depth of his pre-conversion sinfulness, and the superabundant grace that obliterated his former blasphemy, persecution, and insolence. Main points: - the gratitude of the apostle (v. 12) - the conversion of the apostle — his sinful actions (v. 13a) - his sinful heart: ignorance, unbelief, and the road to Damascus (v. 13b) - his redeemed state: mercy, faith, and love in Christ Jesus (vv. 13b–14) Scripture references: - Leviticus 24 - Numbers (intentional vs. unintentional sin) - Matthew 9:35-38 - John 15:18-22; 16:3-4 - Acts 1:21-26; 9:15-30; 26:9-11; 28 - Romans (justification by faith) - 1 Corinthians 2:7-8; 7; 15:9 - 2 Corinthians (Paul's boasting) - Galatians 1:13-14; 1:21-24 - Ephesians 1:7; 3 - Philippians 3:3-9 - 1 Timothy 1:12-17 - 2 Timothy 1:8-12 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-1-the-conversion-of-the-apostle-paul Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Psalm 15 poses the question of who may dwell in the presence of God and answers it not primarily with moral prescription but with a description of the Lord Jesus Christ and his perfect active obedience. This expository sermon argues that the righteousness required for access to God is found only in Christ and received by faith alone through imputation. The service includes a call to worship from Isaiah 2, congregational singing, and a Scripture reading from John 3:1–21. Main points: - The Problem Stated: Psalm 14 and the universal depravity of man - The Question Posed: who may dwell on the holy hill? - The Righteousness of the Man: the purity of his works, words, company, and commitments (Psalm 15:2–5a) - The Reception of the Man: he shall never be moved (Psalm 15:5b) - Application: justification by imputed righteousness Scripture references: - Genesis 15 - Exodus 3:5; 19:21; 25:8; 25-40 - Leviticus 16 - Deuteronomy 30 - Psalms 1; 2; 5; 8; 10; 14; 15; 22; 24; 119:63 - Isaiah 2:1-4; 53:9 - Jeremiah 23:6 - Ezekiel 28 - Micah 5 - Matthew 28:10 - Mark 16 - John 1:1-18; 1:29; 3:14-16 - Romans 1:3; 3:21 - 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 - Galatians 2:21 - Ephesians 5 - Philippians 3 - Hebrews 2:11; 7:26; 12 - 1 Peter 2:21-25 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-15-the-active-obedience-of-the-righteous-one Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

An expository study of 2LCF Chapter 24, "Of the Civil Magistrate," examining what Scripture teaches about the divine origin, proper scope, and Christian duty toward civil government. The session works through all three paragraphs of the chapter, with Romans 13:1–4 as the primary biblical anchor, addressing the God-ordained authority of the magistrate, the legitimacy of Christian participation in civil office and military service, the distinction between church and state, and the Christian's obligation to submit and to pray for governing authorities. Main points: - Paragraph 1: the divine origin of civil government, the coercive authority of the sword, and the purpose of government in securing justice and peace - Paragraph 2: the lawfulness of Christians accepting civil office, the nature of legitimate political institutions, wholesome laws and the limits of obedience, and just war - Paragraph 3: the Christian's duty of submission and prayer for governing authorities Scripture references: - Genesis 9:6 - Deuteronomy 7; 20; 21 - Ecclesiastes 3 - Jeremiah 29 - Acts 5 - Romans 13:1-4 - 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sunday-school-2lbc-chapter-24-of-the-civil-magistrate Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon expounds Paul's defense of the law's goodness in 1 Timothy 1:8–11, set against the backdrop of false teachers in Ephesus who handled the law ignorantly and arrogantly. The three lawful uses of God's moral law — civil, pedagogical, and normative — are examined in turn, demonstrating how each harmonizes with rather than opposes the gospel of grace. Main points: - the affirmation that the law is good (1 Timothy 1:8) - the qualification that it must be used lawfully, against unlawful uses (legalism, antinomianism, perfectionism) - the three lawful uses of the law: pedagogical, normative, and civil - the application of the civil use to the vices listed in 1 Timothy 1:9–10 - the standard of sound doctrine and the glorious gospel (1 Timothy 1:10–11) Scripture references: - Exodus 21:15 - Psalms 14; 15; 22 - Matthew 5:17-20 - Romans 3:20; 3:31; 7:12; 7:16; 7:24; 13:1-3; 13:8-10 - Galatians 2:15; 2:21; 3; 5:17 - 1 Timothy 1:1-3; 1:7; 1:8-11; 1:15 - Hebrews 13:4 - James 3:1 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-1-the-goodness-of-gods-law-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
