Heritage Sunday Sermons

Paul makes the argument that we must be controlled not by appetites but by what is beneficial. This Lord’s Day evening we will examine how we think about our freedom in Christ.

As we conclude Isaiah’s saga of trusting the Lord, we come to the pinnacle narrative where the Assyrian king taunts the people of Judah for trusting in God. This scene resembles the Garden of Eden, where the serpent asks, did God really say? Sennacherib asks, did God really say you can trust him? This Lord’s Day we will examine this story and see how sin is often a matter of where our trust is.

How do we get the peace that the Lord promises us in the Scriptures? Where do we look to find it? Is it obtained in a set of circumstances or perhaps in spiritual growth? For the benefit of the exiled people of Judah, Isaiah pens two psalms that center on how they can have peace in the midst of invasion. In these songs we see where peace is found.

In this section, Paul deals with how believers are to handle conflict within the Church, knowing that we are to judge angels.

The church is called by Paul to separate from those who are persisting in sin, but what does this actually look like? This evening we consider the subject of church discipline and what it means to be put out.

The question of Jesus’ identity is something that everybody has to answer. The world has countless theories as to who He is and Who He is not. But the truth will remain; He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God Who has come to save us from our sin.

As we continue looking at Paul’s instructions to the Corinthians regarding Church discipline, we see the importance of this practice for the sake of the sinner’s restoration, the Church’s health, and the Lord’s glory.

The Scriptures teach that whatever you treasure controls you, and the thing you focus on shapes you, and what you serve owns you. In light of this, the Lord Jesus teaches us to store our treasure in heaven.

Paul in Chapter 5 urges the Corinthians to be faithful to the Lord by dealing with the sin in their midst. And he gives them multiple reasons why this honours the Lord.

The people of Judah rejoice and celebrate, but Isaiah sees the reality of what is coming as God prepares judgement and salvation. This Lord’s Day we will see why we should be more moved by spiritual realities as spoken in God’s Word than temporal phenomena.
