Come to the Marriage Feast!

Verse by verse exposition through the book of Hebrews. (Sermon also includes the reading and exhortation from the Lord's Table liturgy) Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Mal 2:14 Yet you say, "For what reason?" Because the Lord has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant. 15 But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.

This sermon examines the Corinthian church's self-deception, where believers claimed spiritual maturity and abundance while remaining in need of grace. Paul uses biting irony to expose their pride, contrasting their perceived status with the apostles' suffering and humility. The message challenges the modern tendency to prioritize appearances and comfort over authentic faithfulness, arguing that true spiritual health is found in acknowledging weakness rather than masking it. It emphasizes that biblical love involves loving correction and confrontation of sin, rather than mere acceptance or silence. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life shaped by Christ's example, where doctrine produces obedience and believers rely daily on divine grace.
