Passover on SermonAudio

The slaying of the firstborn in Egypt gives us a sobering picture of the wrath and judgment of God against the children of disobedience. Contained in this passage however is a picture of the Grace of God in the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

This sermon examines the tragic figure of Judas Iscariot through the lens of Matthew chapter 26 and Exodus 12, contrasting the preparation for the Passover with the betrayal of Jesus. The preacher argues that Judas was an unbeliever and a thief who merely appeared to be an apostle, highlighting the distinction between remorse and true repentance. By analyzing various scriptural passages, the text asserts that Judas's actions were part of God's sovereign plan yet remained his own accountable choice. The message challenges listeners to examine their own hearts for genuine faith versus superficial religion, warning against valuing worldly gain over Christ. Ultimately, it calls for total surrender to Jesus as Lord and Savior, urging believers to remain steadfast in obedience despite the deceitfulness of the human heart.

The sermon examines Joshua chapters 5 verses 10 to 12, highlighting the essential spiritual preparations Israel undertook before conquering Jericho. It emphasizes that worship must precede warfare, as evidenced by the renewal of circumcision and the observance of the Passover, which points to Christ's sacrificial death. The text further explores the Feast of Firstfruits as a type of Jesus' resurrection and the Feast of Unleavened Bread as a call to remove sin from one's life. The preacher argues that believers must continually cast out the leaven of sin and remember God's goodness through tithing and communion to secure spiritual victory. Ultimately, the message urges Christians to rely on ordinary means of grace while maintaining purity in a sinful world.

We look at the Lord's Table and what we are remembering of our Lord in the elements of it.

In this passage we draw out the Gospel from the institution of the Jewish Passover.

Today we are look at Moses, one of the heroes of the faith for the Jews. This is the man who gave them the law, that God used to deliver them from Egypt. He was a ruler and prophet, chosen by God. Yet how did he live? Did he enjoy an easy life or did he need to walk by faith as well. Join us as we look at what it means when Moses walked by faith.

The Holiest of All - Lesson 50 - By Faith Moses - Part 2 - Hebrews 11:27-29. "Here you have the obedience of faith, taking God's precepts and carrying them out." – Spurgeon. Moses leads the people through the plagues, Passover, and the Exodus to the Red Sea, all by faith!

A full study of the Lord's Supper must also consider its shadow, the Passover. The Passover was a sacred, symbolic, and sacrificial meal, instituted by the Lord, given to Israel, to be observed yearly, in commemoration of his deliverance through acts of judgment on Egypt. What Israel had in shadow, the church now has in fullness. The Passover for the church is the Lord's Supper.

~~~~~~~ No 26 in the series - The Epistles of Peter. ~~~~~~~ **Considering 2 Peter 1:12-15** Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always **in remembrance** of these things, ......... to stir you up by putting you **in remembrance;** ........ Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always **in remembrance.** *1/ A reminder of God's use of aids to remembrance in his Word, the Bible. 2/ "These things" Peter wants us to have **always** in remembrance, and what is not stopping him from reminding us. 3/ The blessing of rememberance.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the critical spiritual discipline of remembering God's truths, drawing primarily from 2 Peter 1:12-15 where the Apostle Peter urges believers to constantly recall essential doctrines. The preacher highlights various biblical aids for remembrance, such as the rainbow, the Passover, and the Lord's Supper, which serve as tangible reminders of God's covenants and redemptive work. Emphasizing that even established Christians are prone to forgetfulness, the message argues that repeated exposure to Scripture is necessary to maintain faith and prevent spiritual complacency. The Holy Spirit acts as the ultimate Remembrancer, bringing past blessings and scriptural truths to light at divinely appointed times for encouragement and correction. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to actively engage with God's Word so as to have the assurance of their calling and therefore election until Christ's return.
