      • Sermon Title: The True King

      Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12

      I. Jesus Is the True King of the Jews

      A. Matthew sets up a contrast using the definite article, spotlighting "Herod the king" (vv. 1, 3) against Jesus the Messiah, framing a succession conflict

      • The scribes and chief priests cite Micah 5:2 to identify Bethlehem as the birthplace of the ruler who will shepherd Israel
      • Matthew's Greek also echoes 2 Samuel 5:2, where Israel declares David the true king — now fulfilled in David's greater Son

        • B. Not only Herod but all Jerusalem is troubled by the news, foreshadowing the nation's rejection of the one they will later crucify as "King of the Jews"

        C. The star evokes Balaam's prophecy in Numbers 24:17 — a star out of Jacob, a scepter rising out of Israel

        1. Balaam connects this star with the dispossession of Edom (descendants of Esau)
        2. Herod is an Edomite, falling in line with Edom's long history of hostility toward Jacob
        3. Herod's dynasty is eventually destroyed; the Star of David continues to reign at the Father's right hand
        4. Malachi 1 opens with God's promise to judge Edom — fulfilled as the Herodian line ends in the ash heap of history
          5. II. Jesus Is the True King of the Nations

          A. The Magi are Gentile nobility who travel an estimated 900 miles to worship the King of the Jews — remarkable dedication from those with no natural obligation to do so

          B. Their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh are fitting for a king, echoing the Queen of Sheba's gifts to Solomon in 1 Kings 10 and fulfilling Isaiah 60:6 and Psalm 72:10

          1. Jesus himself will later declare in Matthew 12:42 that something greater than Solomon is here

            2. C. The Magi fall prostrate and worship — not in a palace but before a baby in a humble dwelling — a supremely powerful image of proper Christmas posture

            1. The posture of the Magi challenges believers: are we treating Christ as king, bowing in reverent self-sacrifice, or casually brushing our teeth in his presence?
            2. True worship of the King of the Nations demands sacrifice, awe, and prostration
              3. III. Jesus Is the True King of the Enemy

              A. The Magi are identified by the Greek word Magi — learned men associated with astrology, dream interpretation, and the magical arts, most likely from Babylon

              1. In the Greek Old Testament, this term is used for the Babylonian court in Daniel 1 and Daniel 2
              2. Matthew's Jewish audience would have found it scandalous that all Jerusalem is troubled while Babylonian magicians rejoice exceedingly

                3. B. This is a grand reversal: Israel's sin once drove the nation into Babylonian exile, but now Babylon comes to Israel — bowing before the Son of David

                1. The prophets foretold such reversals: crooked ground made straight, swords into plowshares, the destitute seated among princes

                  2. C. The spirit of Christ is radically for the enemy — not merely for loved ones or the poor, but for tax collectors, prostitutes, Samaritans, church persecutors, and Babylonian magicians

                  1. The Christmas Truce of 1914, where British and German soldiers met in no man's land to celebrate together, illustrates a shadow of this reality
                  2. Romans 5 — while we were yet enemies, God sent his Son and reconciled us, making peace by the blood of Christ
                  3. Christ has come for enemies like us, so that we might cry out Abba, Father through the Spirit of his Son

                      • Sermon Title: The Law and Faith Working Together

                      Scripture: Galatians 3:19-29

                      I. The Law in Connection to Transgression

                      A. The law functions as a revealer of sin

                      1. The law does not merely show that something is wrong — it declares us guilty transgressors before God
                      2. Romans 7:7 — without the law Paul would not have known what it is to covet; the law exposes lawlessness
                      3. King Josiah's example: reforms were underway, but it was the discovery of the law that brought true repentance and mourning

                        4. B. The law imprisons under sin

                        1. Galatians 3:22 — scripture imprisoned everything under sin
                        2. Galatians 3:23 — held captive under the law until faith would be revealed
                        3. "Scripture" here means the whole Old Testament, not just specific legal codes — the entire Old Testament condemns and reveals guilt

                          4. C. The law serves faith by promoting it

                          1. The law and promise (Abrahamic Covenant and Mosaic Covenant) are not in contradiction — they work hand in hand within the one Covenant of Grace centered on Christ
                          2. By condemning Israel, the law was meant to elicit faith in the promised Messiah
                          3. This is the Second Use of the law: it exposes guilt before God so the sinner will flee to Christ for justification
                            4. II. The Law as Teacher (Guardian)

                            A. The law as paidagogos — the guardian-slave of the Greco-Roman world

                            1. A slave entrusted with authority over the master's children — charged to teach, instruct, and discipline, often harshly
                            2. The law tutors sinners in humility, driving them to an end of themselves

                              3. B. The law trains us into self-abasing humility

                              1. The parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee: the tax collector, properly trained by the law, walks away justified; the Pharisee, an expert in the law, does not
                              2. God's pattern throughout the Old Testament is to humble his people so that he might raise them up — Hosea 6:1
                              3. The goal: that self evaporates completely and only Christ remains — Galatians 2:20

                                4. C. The law is the great equalizer among all humanity

                                1. Romans 3:9 — Jews and Greeks alike are under the power of sin
                                2. Romans 3:19 — every mouth is stopped and the whole world is held accountable to God
                                3. Unity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) can become a cliché unless we first recognize our unity as wretches under the law — forgetting this leads to pride, competition, and a hobby-horse Christianity
                                  4. III. The Law as Temporary

                                  A. The law served as guardian until Christ came

                                  1. Galatians 3:24-25 — now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian
                                  2. Movement from law to Christ is movement from immaturity to maturity, from slavehood to sonship, from promise of the kingdom to possession of the kingdom

                                    3. B. The sacraments also indicate the law's temporary nature

                                    1. Circumcision (the sign of the law placed on the flesh) gives way to baptism (Galatians 3:27)
                                    2. Passover gives way to the Lord's Supper
                                    3. To remain wedded to the Old Covenant is to remain in elementary school — Galatians 4:3; cf. Hebrews (the old covenant has become obsolete)

                                      4. C. Maturity in Christ is manifested in oneness among believers

                                      1. Galatians 3:28 — neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female: ethnic, social, and gender oneness in Christ
                                      2. Contrasted with Galatians 3:19-20: the law came through an intermediary, implying separation; but God is one, and he created his image-bearers for union and communion with him
                                      3. Christ brings the maturity that the law could only point toward: immediate access to the Father through the Son — "if you have seen me you have seen the Father"; cf. Hebrews 3 (Moses faithful as a servant over the house; Christ faithful as a Son)
                                      4. The church displays this maturity to the watching world by sharing oneness as disparate members of one body, united by one faith, one baptism, one Spirit — 1 Corinthians 15:56

                                          Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25

                                          I. Slow Down and Consider the Way God Brings Fulfillment Through the Quiet Faithfulness of an Adopted Father

                                          A. The way and the scandal of the conception of Jesus (Matthew 1:18-19)

                                          1. Mary was betrothed to Joseph — a legal and covenantal bond so binding that separation required divorce
                                          2. Matthew twice clarifies that Mary and Joseph had not come together; the conception was by the Holy Spirit
                                          3. The Holy Spirit's work here mirrors the creation of Adam (Genesis 2:7) — an act of New Creation in response to the Fall

                                            4. B. Joseph's predicament: just and gentle (Matthew 1:19)

                                            1. As a just man, Joseph believed Mary had violated God's law and that the law demanded a response
                                            2. Being unwilling to shame her, he resolved to divorce her quietly
                                            3. He is both faithful to God's law and merciful toward Mary

                                              4. C. Joseph's patient, prayerful reflection (Matthew 1:20)

                                              1. The Greek word for "considered" implies slow, careful deliberation — not a hasty, impulsive reaction
                                              2. In contrast to our microwave culture of instant decisions, Joseph slows down before acting
                                              3. The angel's words speak directly to Joseph's fear and call him to specific, obedient action

                                                4. D. Joseph's quiet, obedient response (Matthew 1:24-25)

                                                1. He woke and did exactly as the angel commanded — took Mary as his wife and named the child
                                                2. Matthew's focus is not merely on Joseph as a moral example, but on Joseph's unique, God-ordained role
                                                3. By naming the child, Joseph legally adopts him into the Davidic line, answering the question left hanging from Matthew 1:1: how can Jesus be Son of David if Joseph is not his biological father?
                                                  4. II. Savor the Savior Through the Threefold Naming of the Child

                                                  A. Son of David — the human nature of Christ

                                                  1. God promised David in 2 Samuel 7 that a descendant would sit on an everlasting throne over an everlasting kingdom
                                                  2. Joseph, a man in the Davidic royal line, adopts Jesus and confers that lineage upon him
                                                  3. Jesus is fully human: as an infant he cried, needed nursing, needed warmth; throughout his ministry he faced trials, temptation, weakness, and pain
                                                  4. His full humanity means he not only relates to us but represents us — as human representatives stand for their people, Christ as the fully human Son of David stands for his people before the Father, ever interceding with his wounds still present in his resurrected body

                                                    5. B. Emmanuel — the divine nature of Christ (Matthew 1:23, fulfilling Isaiah 7:14)

                                                    1. Matthew quotes Isaiah and then interprets the name: "God with us"
                                                    2. Solomon asked at the dedication of the Temple whether God would truly dwell on earth (1 Kings 8:27); in Christ the answer is yes — God has come to tent among his people (cf. John 1:14)
                                                    3. Only one who is perfect, holy, and infinite could satisfy divine justice and atone for sins — the Incarnation is not incidental but essential to salvation

                                                      4. C. Jesus — the office of Savior (Matthew 1:21)

                                                      1. The name Jesus means "Yahweh saves" — the Lord saves
                                                      2. This is the very purpose of the Incarnation: "the Son of Man came to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28)
                                                      3. The name Jesus functions as a mirror, exposing our real and deep problem: we are sinners self-helplessly guilty before a holy God
                                                      4. The same name is also a bonfire on a cold dark night — drawing sinners into the warmth and love of the One who came to save, who does save, who will not let his people perish but gives them eternal life
                                                      5. Application: What is the temperature of your heart toward the name of Jesus? If cold and dull, go to the Lord in prayer and ask him to restore adoration for the Savior
                                                        6. III. Conclusion — See Afresh the Faithful Fulfillment of God's Promise

                                                        A. All three names together declare the fullness of Christ's person and work

                                                        1. Son of David: fully human, representing his people
                                                        2. Emmanuel: fully God, able to satisfy divine justice
                                                        3. Jesus: Savior, accomplishing what his people could never do for themselves

                                                          4. B. Do not rush through the Christmas story — slow down and savor who the Lord Jesus Christ is, why he came, and what he has done for you

                                                          C. God made the promise centuries before through the prophet (Isaiah 7:14); he brought it to fulfillment through the quiet faithfulness of an adopted father and the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit — all to send the Savior his people needed

                                                              Scripture: Matthew 1:1-17

                                                              I. A Genealogy for Israel

                                                              A. Matthew's Gospel is the most Jewish of the four Gospels

                                                              1. Matthew quotes from the Hebrew Masoretic text rather than the Greek Septuagint
                                                              2. He uses Jewish idioms without explanation, assuming a Jewish audience
                                                              3. He employs the Hebrew genealogical style, moving from past to present (contrast with Luke 3, which moves from present to past in the Greco-Roman style)

                                                                4. B. Matthew emphasizes Jesus as the Son of David — a distinctly Jewish Messianic title used nine times in the Gospel

                                                                1. David is uniquely called "the king" in Matthew 1:6, highlighting the royal Davidic line
                                                                2. Matthew traces the line through Solomon, the reigning heir, fulfilling the Davidic Covenant of 2 Samuel 7
                                                                3. Jesus is the greater Son of David, the greater Solomon

                                                                  4. C. The structure of 14 generations (verse 17) likely reflects the Jewish literary device of Gematria, in which the numerical value of David's name in Hebrew equals 14

                                                                  1. The threefold repetition of 14 generations reinforces the Messianic claim
                                                                  2. Matthew's message to his Jewish audience: this man born of the Virgin Mary is the promised Messiah — Messiah has come
                                                                    3. II. A Genealogy for the Gentiles

                                                                    A. Beginning the genealogy with Abraham signals a message for the nations, not only for Israel

                                                                    1. God's covenant with Abraham promised he would be the father of many nations (Genesis 12; 15; 17)
                                                                    2. That covenant reaches its fulfillment in Christ

                                                                      3. B. Four women are inserted into the genealogy — highly unusual in Jewish genealogical writing — and each has a Gentile connection

                                                                      1. Tamar (Matthew 1:3) — identified by Jewish tradition as a Canaanite
                                                                      2. Rahab (Matthew 1:5) — from Jericho, a pagan city
                                                                      3. Ruth (Matthew 1:5) — a Moabite
                                                                      4. Bathsheba (Matthew 1:6) — wife of Uriah the Hittite

                                                                        5. C. The inclusion of Gentile women in the Jewish Messiah's genealogy would have been shocking to a first-century Jewish audience

                                                                        1. Women were treated as second-class citizens in that cultural context
                                                                        2. Yet Matthew deliberately places them in the origin story of Christ

                                                                          3. D. This genealogy prepares the reader for the Great Commission at the end of Matthew's Gospel

                                                                          1. Go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19)
                                                                          2. The genealogy announces: the disciples of Christ will extend to every sex, age, social class, and nation — Joy to the World

                                                                            3. E. This is not merely a warm sentiment — it is Christ's bloodline and origin story

                                                                            1. A genealogy established who you were at birth; you come into the world with a history
                                                                            2. Jesus is born into an origin story with open arms to the nations; to act otherwise would be to contradict who he is
                                                                              3. III. A Genealogy for Sinners

                                                                              A. This is a genealogy filled with moral failure and scandal

                                                                              1. Tamar disguised herself as a prostitute to lure her father-in-law Judah (Genesis 38)
                                                                              2. Rahab was a prostitute
                                                                              3. Bathsheba was taken in adultery; Matthew pointedly calls her "the wife of Uriah" in Matthew 1:6, highlighting David's guilt in having Uriah killed
                                                                              4. The genealogy traces the checkered history of the kings after David, which led Israel into Exile in Babylon

                                                                                5. B. The genealogy reveals that humanity's greatest enemy — Jew and Gentile alike — is sin

                                                                                1. Every man born in Adam has been exiled and lives east of Eden
                                                                                2. The list reads like a train of sin driving into darkness and exile

                                                                                  3. C. At verse 16, the genealogical pattern abruptly breaks

                                                                                  1. Every prior entry reads "so-and-so fathered so-and-so," but Joseph is not listed as the biological father of Jesus
                                                                                  2. Jesus is conceived by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary — he is not generated by biological descent from Adam and therefore is not tainted by original sin
                                                                                  3. He is the perfect image of God, the God-man

                                                                                    4. D. The opening words of the genealogy echo Genesis — literally "the Book of Genesis of Jesus Christ"

                                                                                    1. Genesis 2:4 uses the same genealogical language: "these are the generations of the heavens and the earth"
                                                                                    2. Jesus is a new Genesis, a new creation, a new Adam — Heaven and Earth united once more in the God-man
                                                                                    3. In Christ, sin and death no longer rule over those born again by the Spirit and united to him by faith

                                                                                      4. E. Application: Christ makes his home on the island of misfits

                                                                                      1. He is born into an origin story of broken, sinful, outcast people — for their sake
                                                                                      2. This genealogy is a call to sinners in the midst of their sin, not after they have cleaned themselves up
                                                                                      3. The invitation of Christmas is to point upward and declare: Messiah has come — and he has become like us in every way, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15)
                                                                                        4. 31 min
                                                                                      4. Unabashed Worship

                                                                                        Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:11-23

                                                                                        Order of Service

                                                                                        • Benediction
                                                                                          • Sermon Title: Unabashed Worship

                                                                                          Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:11-23

                                                                                          I. Joyful Worship Is Dependent on Grace

                                                                                          A. The faith of Obed-Edom sets the stage for God's grace

                                                                                          1. Despite knowing of Uzzah's death, Obed-Edom welcomes the ark into his home
                                                                                          2. Like Noah amid judgment, Obed-Edom finds favor and God blesses his household — 2 Samuel 6:11

                                                                                            3. B. David's response to news of Obed-Edom's blessing is exuberant joy

                                                                                            1. David and Israel, who had egregiously mishandled the ark, are themselves the recipients of undeserved grace
                                                                                            2. David's dancing in a linen ephod is the response of one who has received resurrection grace — like Scrooge waking alive, like Abraham receiving Isaac back figuratively — Hebrews 11:19
                                                                                            3. For the Hebrews, separation from God's presence was equivalent to Sheol; David's cry in verse 9 was a cry of death, and the blessing of Obed-Edom's house is resurrection grace

                                                                                              4. C. Application: Christians gather every Lord's Day in light of a literal empty tomb

                                                                                              1. We are recipients of resurrection grace far exceeding David's figurative experience
                                                                                              2. How much more should our worship overflow with exuberant joy and praise
                                                                                                3. II. Joyful Worship Is Disciplined Obedience

                                                                                                A. The contrast between worship 1.0 (disobedient) and worship 2.0 (obedient)

                                                                                                1. Both worship services are described as joyful and "before the Lord" — 2 Samuel 6:5, 2 Samuel 6:14, 2 Samuel 6:16
                                                                                                2. One ends in death; the other ends in a feast and blessing for all Israel
                                                                                                3. The difference is obedience

                                                                                                  4. B. David's corrected obedience is explicit in 1 Chronicles 15:13-15

                                                                                                  1. The Levites now carry the ark on poles on their shoulders, as Moses commanded
                                                                                                  2. This obedience flows from a thankful heart, not rote compliance — every six steps David sacrifices to the Lord, going beyond what the law requires — 2 Samuel 6:13
                                                                                                  3. David, wearing the linen ephod, foreshadows the priest-king after the order of Melchizedek — Psalm 110

                                                                                                    4. C. Refuting the false dichotomy in contemporary evangelicalism

                                                                                                    1. The unspoken assumption: strict obedience kills joy; freedom from God's word enables joyful worship
                                                                                                    2. This passage flies in the face of such thinking — true freedom is found within the guardrails of God's word
                                                                                                    3. Obedience is the bridge from an expression of joy that brings death to an expression of joy that brings abundant blessing
                                                                                                    4. True worship is joyful worship done in obedience to every jot and tittle of the whole counsel of God's word
                                                                                                      5. III. Joyful Worship Is the Diminishment of Self

                                                                                                      A. David strips himself of royal attire and wears the common linen ephod — 2 Samuel 6:14

                                                                                                      1. Rather than treating himself as royalty on his march to the City of David, David treats Yahweh as the true king
                                                                                                      2. Many scholars identify this episode as a coronation ceremony for Yahweh — the feast is given to the people after Yahweh is enthroned in the tabernacle, not after David sits on his throne

                                                                                                        3. B. The confrontation with Michal represents the clash of two kingdoms — 2 Samuel 6:16, 2 Samuel 6:20-23

                                                                                                        1. The writer repeatedly identifies Michal as the daughter of Saul (vv. 16, 20, 23) — the old kingdom confronting the new
                                                                                                        2. Michal accuses David of vulgarity and immodesty, of acting beneath his royal dignity; she uses language meaning lowlifes or "trailer trash"
                                                                                                        3. David's response: it was before the Lord who chose me above your father — I will make merry before the Lord and make myself yet more contemptible in your eyes — 2 Samuel 6:21-22
                                                                                                        4. David chooses to be honored by the lowly servants rather than esteemed by worldly standards
                                                                                                        5. Michal receives a curse of barrenness — a death of sorts — as the consequence of her contempt

                                                                                                          6. C. Application: the call to worship each Lord's Day is not the call of a cold and lifeless God

                                                                                                          1. It is the call of a Father filled with life and joy over his children in and through the Son
                                                                                                          2. Worship not before the eyes of Michal, but before the face of the Father
                                                                                                          3. We are recipients of far more grace than David — a literal empty tomb, resurrection grace times eternity — and are called to respond with unabashed, exuberant praise
                                                                                                            4. 33 min
                                                                                                          4. November 20, 2022; Sunday Evening Worship

                                                                                                              Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30

                                                                                                              I. Jesus Gives Thanks for the Revelation of the Father's Gracious Will

                                                                                                              A. The Father has revealed salvation to little children, not the wise and powerful (Matthew 11:25-26)

                                                                                                              1. God did not make the wise worse — rather, as with Pharaoh in Exodus, he allowed them to pursue the desires of their own hearts in rejecting Christ
                                                                                                              2. The religious leaders with their learning and reputation could not receive Christ; the weak and vulnerable could
                                                                                                              3. Jesus gives thanks that the knowledge of salvation is accessible not by human achievement, intellect, or social standing, but to the weakest and neediest
                                                                                                              4. Matthew Henry: the greatest scholars and statesmen have often been the greatest strangers to gospel mysteries
                                                                                                              5. Herman Bavinck: God reveals salvation to little children by removing hindrances to faith and granting true understanding of the Gospel promises — faith itself is a gift of God

                                                                                                                6. B. Saving revelation comes through the Son (Matthew 11:27)

                                                                                                                1. All things have been handed to Jesus by the Father; the Father and Son share an exclusive, infinite knowledge of one another
                                                                                                                2. Jesus can reveal the Father to whomever he chooses — echoing Hebrews 1:1-2: God has spoken most fully and finally in his Son
                                                                                                                3. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; to see him is to see the Father (John 14:6-9)
                                                                                                                4. The greatest revelation in history is made available to the weak and vulnerable — the only barrier is pride
                                                                                                                  5. II. Jesus Teaches Us to Give Thanks for His Restful Calling

                                                                                                                  A. Jesus issues a two-fold invitation to the troubled (Matthew 11:28-30)

                                                                                                                  1. Come to me — turning the eyes of faith to Christ; a call to repentance and faith, excluding all other suitors and idols
                                                                                                                  2. Take my yoke upon you — a commitment to follow, serve, and learn from Jesus; an invitation to discipleship
                                                                                                                  3. In Jewish culture, taking a yoke was a metaphor for commitment and obedience, especially to the law; the Yoke of Christ is a commitment to him as Lord

                                                                                                                    4. B. Jesus invites specifically the weary and heavy laden

                                                                                                                    1. The qualification for discipleship is weariness and exhaustion without relief — those crushed under sin, suffering, and sorrow
                                                                                                                    2. Not the best and brightest, but little children: weak and weary sinners who can find no rest in the world

                                                                                                                      3. C. Jesus promises rest for the soul

                                                                                                                      1. Unlike doctors, therapists, or any human helper, Jesus promises rest with certainty — only the divine Son can make this promise
                                                                                                                      2. We fail to receive this rest because we seek it everywhere else: self-righteous works, relationships, money, reputation, possessions
                                                                                                                      3. Many Christians drift after conversion, silently assuming they have exhausted their allotment of rest; Christ always has rest to give
                                                                                                                      4. Suffering does not diminish with time but shifts — our hope is not that life gets easier but that Christ is faithful through all of it (1 Peter)

                                                                                                                        5. D. Jesus's invitation rests on who he is in his heart — gentle and lowly

                                                                                                                        1. Worldly experience teaches us that the powerful despise the weak, the beautiful despise the ugly, the wealthy despise the poor — we wrongly project this onto Christ
                                                                                                                        2. The only place in Scripture where Jesus directly describes his own inner character: I am gentle and lowly in heart (Matthew 11:29)
                                                                                                                        3. Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly (drawing on Puritan Thomas Goodwin): we are prone to distort our view of Christ based on worldly expectations
                                                                                                                        4. When we finally come to Christ — even after wandering — we will find him as gentle and lowly as the day we first came
                                                                                                                        5. The story of Naaman (2 Kings 5): if Christ had demanded a great sacrifice for rest, would we not do it? How much more should we respond to his simple call — come to me
                                                                                                                        6. Matthew Henry: songs of thanksgiving are sovereign cordials for drooping souls, the proper answer to dark and disquieting thoughts
                                                                                                                          7. 30 min

                                                                                                                              • B. The church today is dangerously sloppy with the details of God's word

                                                                                                                              1. Vague slogans ("WWJD," "No creed but the Bible") shield people from careful doctrinal work
                                                                                                                              2. Conscience is wrongly used as a trump card to avoid hard investigation of Scripture
                                                                                                                              3. God's word does not bow to our conscience — our conscience bows to God's word
                                                                                                                              4. Creeds and confessions matter; God expects his people to be people of the details
                                                                                                                                5. II. Pay Careful Attention to Paganism

                                                                                                                                A. The place of Uzzah's death, Perez-uzzah ("the bursting forth"), echoes Baal-perazim in 2 Samuel 5:20, where God burst through the Philistines

                                                                                                                                • God is treating his covenant people as he treated the pagan Philistines

                                                                                                                                  • B. Israel imitated Philistine practice in transporting the ark

                                                                                                                                  • In 1 Samuel 6, the Philistines placed the ark on a new cart pulled by a cow
                                                                                                                                  • Israel placed the ark on a new cart pulled by oxen — the same pagan method
                                                                                                                                  • Whether inside or outside the visible covenant community, treating God like a pagan results in being treated like a pagan

                                                                                                                                    • C. The "whatever works" mentality dominates our world and corrupts the church

                                                                                                                                    1. Syncretism — incorporating pagan practices into worship for pragmatic results
                                                                                                                                    2. Psalm 1 contrasts two paths: the righteous meditate on God's word; the wicked pursue whatever is quickest
                                                                                                                                    3. The Bereans searched the Scriptures to test what they heard — this is the model
                                                                                                                                    4. God cares as much about the means as the end, the path as much as the destination
                                                                                                                                      5. III. Pay Careful Attention to Our Joy

                                                                                                                                      A. The occasion was genuinely joyful — 2 Samuel 6:5

                                                                                                                                      • David and all Israel celebrated with songs, lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals
                                                                                                                                      • The ark had been neglected under Saul; David's first act as king over all Israel was to restore it to the center of national life

                                                                                                                                        • B. Joy and excitement do not excuse carelessness with God's word

                                                                                                                                        1. Psalm 2 calls us to rejoice with fear and trembling
                                                                                                                                        2. Mountaintop experiences do not give license to be less than careful in obedience
                                                                                                                                        3. Israel's joyful occasion ended abruptly because they did not respond to God's blessings with obedient joy

                                                                                                                                          4. C. Jesus Christ is the perfect fulfillment of all three demands

                                                                                                                                          1. He kept every jot and tittle of the law — every detail
                                                                                                                                          2. He did not take the quick path but walked the path of the cross
                                                                                                                                          3. His joy always flowed from obedience: Psalm 119:111, Isaiah 11:3, John 15:10–11
                                                                                                                                          4. Through union with Christ, his joy of obedience becomes ours
                                                                                                                                          5. David's cry — "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?" — is answered only in Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life
                                                                                                                                            6. 28 min

                                                                                                                                              I. Kingdom Fulfillment in Kingdom Recognition (vv. 1–3, 11–12)

                                                                                                                                              A. All the tribes of Israel recognize David as king and anoint him at Hebron, fulfilling what had been promised since 1 Samuel 16

                                                                                                                                              B. Hiram king of Tyre recognizes David as king by sending materials and builders to construct a palace in Jerusalem — a foreign king honoring Israel's king
                                                                                                                                              C. David himself recognizes in 2 Samuel 5:12 that God established him king for the sake of his people Israel, not for his own glory

                                                                                                                                              1. David is a servant Shepherd king — established to serve, not to be served
                                                                                                                                              2. Christ is the greater antitype: he came not to be served but to serve (Philippians 2); his exaltation is bound up in his service for his people
                                                                                                                                              3. All who minister in Christ's name — ordained or lay — are "bus boys," servants who place the food of God's word before others
                                                                                                                                                4. II. Kingdom Fulfillment in Kingdom Expansion (vv. 6–10)

                                                                                                                                                A. David conquers the Jebusites and takes Jerusalem (Zion), renaming it the City of David

                                                                                                                                                1. The Jebusites taunt David, claiming even their lame and blind could repel him
                                                                                                                                                2. David enters the city via the water shaft, taking it by surprise
                                                                                                                                                  3. B. This conquest is the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant made over 800 years earlier
                                                                                                                                                3. Genesis 15:21 — the Jebusites are the last ethnic group listed among those God promised Abraham would be conquered
                                                                                                                                                4. Joshua 15:63 — an ominous note: Judah could not drive out the Jebusites; they remained in Jerusalem
                                                                                                                                                5. David's victory after 800 years is a lesson that God's timing is not our timing
                                                                                                                                                  6. C. David "plants the flag" — calling it the City of David signals the Redemptive-historical fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham
                                                                                                                                                6. The abrahamic promise now expands beyond Judah to all Israel
                                                                                                                                                7. Ultimately extends to every tribe, nation, and tongue through Christ
                                                                                                                                                  8. III. Kingdom Fulfillment in a Kingdom Warrior (vv. 10, 17–25)

                                                                                                                                                  A. David appears to be the heroic warrior, but the text attributes the victories to Yahweh

                                                                                                                                                  1. 2 Samuel 5:10 — "The Lord, the God of hosts [armies, warfare], was with him"
                                                                                                                                                  2. God directs David twice in battle against the Philistines — once face to face, once from the rear
                                                                                                                                                    3. B. The place of David's victory is named Baal-perazim — "the Lord of bursting through"
                                                                                                                                                  3. David declares: "The Lord has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood"
                                                                                                                                                  4. This flood imagery echoes Genesis 7:11 — the fountains of the great deep bursting forth at the Flood
                                                                                                                                                  5. God's wrathful, conquering power — once directed against the earth — is now directed against his Covenant people's enemies
                                                                                                                                                    6. C. God is a Divine Warrior for his Covenant people
                                                                                                                                                  6. Colossians 2:13–15 — at the cross God disarmed rulers and authorities, triumphing over them
                                                                                                                                                  7. Calvary is the ultimate Baal-perazim: God pours the flood waters of his wrath on Christ the sin-bearer, crushing the enemy on behalf of his people
                                                                                                                                                  8. God is not a mere comforter on the sidelines — he enters the battle and fights for his children with the fierce love of a father defending his child
                                                                                                                                                    9. IV. Kingdom Fulfillment Contradicted by Kingdom Failure (v. 13)

                                                                                                                                                    A. One dark blemish mars an otherwise glorious chapter: "David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem"

                                                                                                                                                    1. Deuteronomy 17:17 — the law for Israel's king explicitly forbids multiplying wives, lest his heart turn away
                                                                                                                                                    2. Even as David recognizes he is a servant king, his conduct is governed by human culture rather than God's law
                                                                                                                                                      3. B. This failure checks the tendency toward Christian hero worship — even the greatest Kingdom servants are sinners who will disappoint
                                                                                                                                                      C. The blemish on the canvas cries out for something — Someone — to blot it out and bring true perfection
                                                                                                                                                    3. Hebrews 1:3 — after making purification for sins, Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high
                                                                                                                                                    4. David sits on the throne in Jerusalem after defeating the Jebusites; Christ sits at the right hand of God after defeating sin and death
                                                                                                                                                    5. Hebrews 10:14 — by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified
                                                                                                                                                    6. Those who are in Christ do not merely observe the perfect, spotless Kingdom — they become part of it
                                                                                                                                                      7. 35 min

                                                                                                                                                        I. Your Justification Is According to an Unchangeable Covenant

                                                                                                                                                        A. Paul argues from lesser to greater using the example of human covenants

                                                                                                                                                        1. Even a man-made covenant, once ratified, cannot be annulled or added to (Galatians 3:15)
                                                                                                                                                        2. How much more, then, is God's covenant with Abraham unchangeable

                                                                                                                                                          3. B. Paul argues from chronology (Galatians 3:17)

                                                                                                                                                          1. The Covenant of Grace is first established with Abraham in Genesis 12–17
                                                                                                                                                          2. The law came 430 years after the covenant with Abraham and therefore cannot annul it
                                                                                                                                                          3. A parallel chronological argument appears in Romans 4: circumcision came after Abraham was counted righteous by faith and is a seal, not the means, of righteousness

                                                                                                                                                            4. C. Application to the Galatian error

                                                                                                                                                            1. The Judaizers erred in adding law-keeping to faith — they missed the details
                                                                                                                                                            2. The law has a purpose (a guardian until Christ comes), but it is not to undo or replace the Covenant of Grace
                                                                                                                                                            3. The Covenant of Grace spans from Abraham forward as one unchanging covenant; God's manner of saving his people does not change
                                                                                                                                                              4. II. Your Justification Is Secured Through the Terms and Benefits of This Covenant

                                                                                                                                                              A. The terms of the Covenant of Grace are God's promises (Galatians 3:16-18)

                                                                                                                                                              1. The recurring refrain in Genesis 12–17 is God's "I will" — I will bless, I will give descendants, I will give land
                                                                                                                                                              2. The Covenant emphasizes God's plan, God's grace, and God's initiative (John Stott)
                                                                                                                                                              3. Abraham believes God's promises and that faith is counted to him as righteousness; he merits nothing by his own goodness
                                                                                                                                                              4. God alone walks through the animals in Genesis 15; Abraham does not — God takes the covenant oath upon himself

                                                                                                                                                                5. B. The benefit of the Covenant is an inheritance secured through the one Offspring

                                                                                                                                                                1. Paul emphasizes the singular "offspring" in Galatians 3:16: the promise points ultimately to one — Christ
                                                                                                                                                                2. Christ is the Offspring of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15 and the Offspring of Abraham
                                                                                                                                                                3. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us; he is the only object of saving faith
                                                                                                                                                                4. The blessing comes to the nations through Christ as head — to be united to him by faith is to receive the blessing given to Abraham
                                                                                                                                                                5. This leads to Galatians 3:29: those who are Christ's are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise

                                                                                                                                                                  6. C. The inheritance does not and cannot come by the law (Galatians 3:18)

                                                                                                                                                                  1. If the inheritance came by the law, the promise would be void — but the promise has not been voided
                                                                                                                                                                  2. It is still by promise, a promise that culminates in Christ
                                                                                                                                                                    3. III. Lessons from the Covenant

                                                                                                                                                                    A. God is patient

                                                                                                                                                                    1. The many generations from Abraham to Christ show that God works out his plan slowly and in his own time
                                                                                                                                                                    2. He is patient toward us, working out his plan to save us

                                                                                                                                                                      3. B. God is purposeful

                                                                                                                                                                      1. He orchestrates all of history to bring about Christ according to his plan
                                                                                                                                                                      2. His purpose will not fail

                                                                                                                                                                        3. C. We do not have to perform

                                                                                                                                                                        1. Christ has already performed on our behalf for our justification
                                                                                                                                                                        2. Like a beneficiary of a promise, we can do nothing to fulfill the promise ourselves — we can only trust God to keep it
                                                                                                                                                                        3. Our justification rests on faith in what Christ has done, not on our own goodness or works
                                                                                                                                                                        4. The benefits have already been secured; we can add nothing
                                                                                                                                                                          5. 28 min

                                                                                                                                                                            Scripture: Luke 13:10-17

                                                                                                                                                                            I. Physical Service That Brings Sabbath Rest

                                                                                                                                                                            A. The Sabbath principle connects rest with provision and wholeness

                                                                                                                                                                            1. God's rest on the seventh day coincides with satisfaction in completed, whole creation
                                                                                                                                                                            2. The fourth commandment requires care for sons, daughters, servants, livestock, and sojourners — all must be provided for so all may rest
                                                                                                                                                                            3. Sabbath rest is not opposed to service; the two go hand in hand

                                                                                                                                                                              4. B. Jesus heals the bent woman to bring her into full Sabbath enjoyment

                                                                                                                                                                              1. The ruler of the synagogue ironically upholds the Sabbath principle by watering his animals, yet withholds it from an image-bearer of God
                                                                                                                                                                              2. After her healing, the woman immediately glorifies God in the synagogue — physical welfare enables full worship

                                                                                                                                                                                3. C. The Sabbath year and Year of Jubilee extend the principle to financial and material welfare — Leviticus 25:6

                                                                                                                                                                                1. Every seventh year the land rests and its yield provides for all in covenant — people, servants, sojourners, and animals
                                                                                                                                                                                2. The fiftieth year cancels debts and frees slaves, linking mercy and provision to Sabbath rest

                                                                                                                                                                                  3. D. The diaconal office embodies this principle in the church

                                                                                                                                                                                  1. The PCA Book of Church Order: the office of deacon is one of sympathy and service after the example of Jesus Christ
                                                                                                                                                                                  2. Acts 2:45 — believers sold possessions and distributed to any who had need
                                                                                                                                                                                  3. The qualifications for deacon in 1 Timothy 3 are ordinary Christian virtues — the whole congregation shares responsibility, not deacons alone
                                                                                                                                                                                  4. No member should come to Lord's Day worship with unmet physical needs; corporate worship is scarred when any member lacks daily provision
                                                                                                                                                                                    5. II. Spiritual Service That Brings Sabbath Rest

                                                                                                                                                                                    A. The woman's affliction is fundamentally spiritual, not merely physical

                                                                                                                                                                                    1. Luke 13:11 — she has a "disabling spirit," not simply a broken body
                                                                                                                                                                                    2. Luke 13:16 — Jesus declares Satan had bound her for eighteen years; Christ looses the bond on the Sabbath

                                                                                                                                                                                      3. B. Jesus' healing enacts the reversal of the curse and the dawning of true Jubilee

                                                                                                                                                                                      1. God's own Sabbath rest was rest in the goodness and completeness of creation before the Fall
                                                                                                                                                                                      2. Christ's healing of the woman turns back the curse, restoring the Sabbath joy God himself enjoys
                                                                                                                                                                                      3. The Year of Jubilee was inaugurated on the Day of Atonement — Leviticus 25 — linking physical release with atoning grace

                                                                                                                                                                                        4. C. Jesus announces the fulfillment of Jubilee in Luke 4

                                                                                                                                                                                        1. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to proclaim liberty to the captives… to set at liberty those who are oppressed… to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor"
                                                                                                                                                                                        2. The physical and material release of Jubilee is an outward sign of the spiritual freedom won through substitutionary atonement at the cross
                                                                                                                                                                                        3. At Calvary the trumpet of Jubilee sounds — the serpent's head is crushed and souls purchased by Christ's blood are freed from bondage to sin and death

                                                                                                                                                                                          4. D. Diaconal ministry manifests this spiritual freedom before the watching world

                                                                                                                                                                                          1. Galatians 5:1 — "For freedom Christ has set us free"
                                                                                                                                                                                          2. The Lord's Prayer uses Jubilee language: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors"
                                                                                                                                                                                          3. The PCA Book of Church Order: the office of deacon is spiritual in nature; deacons are not glorified janitors but hold an office as spiritual as the eldership
                                                                                                                                                                                          4. As deacons give and provide in the name of Christ they also pray in the name of Christ, caring for both body and soul
                                                                                                                                                                                          5. The whole congregation likewise is called to let lips "drip with grace, mercy, and love" as physical mercy ministry becomes a display of the gospel
                                                                                                                                                                                          6. What Jesus often says before healing — "Your sins are forgiven" — binds bodily and spiritual wholeness together; deacons emulate this by serving both body and soul so the congregation may together rest in the Lord and glorify him
                                                                                                                                                                                            7. 26 min
