The sermon sustains throughout a Christological application, identifying the Lord Jesus as the true righteous one of the psalm — the one who faced the counsel to flee and yet set his face steadfastly toward the cross.

Moses highlights Israel's historical rebellion to warn against self-righteousness as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.

Main points: - The Anticipation of the Conquest - The Caution Against Self-Righteousness - The Recapitulation of Israel's History - The Golden Calf Incident at Sinai - Additional Wilderness Rebellions - The Intercession of Moses Scripture references: - Exodus 17:7; 32 - Leviticus 18:24-30 - Numbers 11; 13-14 - Deuteronomy 7:6-8; 8:17; 9 - Psalm 115 - Daniel 9 - Joel 2 - Matthew 6 - Luke 18 - Acts 7 - Galatians 5 - Nehemiah 9 - 1 John 5:21 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/bible-study-deuteronomy-9-review-of-israels-rebellion Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Hebrews 2:1–4 issues a solemn warning against drifting from the word of God, and this sermon takes that warning with full seriousness. Drawing on the argument of the opening chapters of Hebrews, the preacher expounds why the gospel delivered through the Son carries greater obligation than the law mediated by angels, and what it means to neglect so great a salvation. Main points: - the danger of drifting — how neglect, not outright rejection, is the chief peril addressed - the greater revelation — the Son's superiority to angels and the weight this adds to the gospel word - the certain recompense — the certainty of judgment for those who let the message slip Scripture references: - Hebrews 1:1-14; 2:1-4 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-hebrews-2-the-danger-of-neglecting-the-means-of-grace Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon works through Hebrews 1:1–3 and 2:1–4 to set before the congregation the greatness of God's final word in his Son and the sober danger of drifting from it through familiarity, the encroachment of lesser things, and hardened hearts. The preacher grounds the call to be strengthened in the surpassing excellence of the Christ through whom God has spoken in these last days, and presses the congregation toward vigilance and faithful gathering. Main points: - the greatness of God's word in Christ - the terribleness of neglecting God's word in Christ Scripture references: - Genesis 3 - 1 Samuel 15:28 - Psalms 27:1-6; 40; 122; 138 - Matthew 21 - Romans 13 - Hebrews 1:1-13; 2:1-4; 3:7; 3:15; 3:19; 4:7; 10:19-25; 11; 12:25 - Revelation 13 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-colossians-1-being-strengthened Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

From the Confessing the Faith Conference 2026, this session examines the telos of God's decree, arguing from Romans 11:36 that the end or goal of the decree is the manifestation of God's glory and the creaturely recognition of that glory. Richard Barcellos contends that this teleology is not speculative but revealed in Scripture, and that creation, providence, conservation, and consummation are all executions of the decree whose shared end discloses the decree's own end. Creatures come from God and return to God, either to the praise of his glorious justice or to the praise of his glorious grace in Christ. Main points: - Of him are all things: God as Creator - Through him are all things: divine providence - To him are all things: the teleological end of the decree Scripture references: - Job 35:7; 41:11 - Psalm 119:89 - Proverbs 16:4 - Isaiah 43:7; 45:6-7 - Romans 9:20-21; 11:32; 11:33-36 - Ephesians 1:11 - Hebrews 2:10 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/conference-ctf-2026-session-5-the-end-or-goal-of-gods-decree Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

From the Confessing the Faith Conference 2026, this session explores 2LCF Chapter 3 - Of God's Decree, paragraph 6: how God's eternal decree encompasses not only the election of sinners to glory but also the ordained means by which that glory is brought to them. The lecture works through the Puritan doctrine of the means of grace — divine institution, covenantal promise, and the present lordship of Christ — distinguishing those means from other useful church activities and rejecting both sacerdotalism and hyper-Calvinist immediacy. Main points: - the decree and divine means: John Owen on the immutability of God's counsel - the church as the ordinary place of salvation - defining the means of grace and the two criteria: dominical institution and a divine promise of efficacy - the present and active lordship of Christ - the means identified: Word, Baptism, Lord's Supper, and Prayer - caution against treating other church activities as means of grace - caution against the Roman doctrine of automatic efficacy Scripture references: - 2 Chronicles 15:2 - Nehemiah 8:8 - Matthew 28:18-20 - Acts 2:22-36 - Ephesians 1:15-23; 2:19-22 - Hebrews 6:13-20 - 1 Peter 1:2 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/conference-ctf-2026-session-6-how-gods-decree-brings-life Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

At the Confessing the Faith Conference 2026, Dr. James M. Renihan expounds the final paragraph of 2LCF Chapter 3 — Of God's Decree — demonstrating that the high mystery of predestination, when handled with prudence and care, produces praise, reverence, admiration, humility, diligence, and abundant consolation in those who sincerely obey the gospel. The session works through the pastoral and practical ramifications of the decree, drawing heavily on Owen, the Synod of Dort, Benjamin Keach, and the confession's chapter on assurance (Chapter 18). Main points: - a word of exhortation: care and caution in approaching the decree, with reference to the Synod of Dort and Deuteronomy 29:29 - a word of comfort: infallible assurance through obedience to the revealed Word, with reference to 2LCF Chapter 18 - the benefits of confessing the decree: praise, reverence, admiration, humility, diligence, and abundant consolation Scripture references: - Deuteronomy 29:29 - Psalms 19; 150 - Habakkuk 3:17-18 - Romans 8:29-30; 9:14-21; 11:33-36 - Ephesians 1:3-6; 4:6 - Philippians 2:5-13 - Hebrews 13:15 - 2 Peter 1:3-11 - 1 John 4:19 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/conference-ctf-2026-session-7-the-benefits-of-understanding Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
