If we are going to see things correctly, we need to look at them eyes for God, as instructed by His Word.

Regardless of what God's people may want to pretend God says, God's true preachers always and only proclaim what God has truly said. True Preachers Preach God's Truth, His Whole Truth, and Nothing But God's Truth.

Today in our sermon series on the Westminster Shorter Catechism, we come to question 32 which brings us to a new subdivision in the Catechism. It is true that we often lack an eternal perspective, but it is important to look at the blessing that we have from Christ in this life.

The sermon explores the spiritual lessons derived from Joshua chapter 13, focusing on the concept of remaining land that must still be possessed. It highlights how God continues to use believers in their senior years, emphasizing that service and fruitfulness do not cease with age. The message contrasts the incomplete conquest of the Canaanites with the complete satisfaction found in Christ as the Levite's inheritance. Through this biblical account, the preacher urges listeners to resist sin, remain content in God alone, and actively pursue a deeper walk with Him regardless of their life stage.

The sermon explores the identity and privileges of the church through the lens of 1 Peter 2, focusing on Jesus Christ as the precious cornerstone upon which believers are built. It highlights the transition of Christians from rejected outsiders to a royal priesthood and holy nation, emphasising their union with Christ. Tomi outlines three key aspects: the value of the chosen Stone, the privileges of the chosen people, and their divine purpose to proclaim God's excellencies. This theological framework encourages believers to find comfort in God's election amidst worldly rejection and persecution. Ultimately, the message calls for a decisive response to Christ, urging listeners to trust in Him as their foundation and live lives marked by worship and witness.

The sermon centers on the biblical metaphor of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, drawing primarily from John chapter 10 to contrast His sacrificial love with the indifference of false leaders. It emphasizes that humanity is naturally lost, helpless, and sinful, yet Christ voluntarily laid down His life to atone for these sins and secure eternal salvation. The message highlights the personal care and intimate knowledge the Shepherd has for His sheep, offering comfort to believers and a urgent call to repentance for the unsaved. By examining the characteristics of the shepherd, the text underscores the security of those who hear His voice and follow Him into the fold. Ultimately, the preaching aims to drive listeners to trust in Christ alone for cleansing from sin and assurance of eternal life.
