In this message we continue our study of the first great awakening by looking at the evangelical conversion of John Wesley.

In this episode, Pastor Cogbill sits down with our Family Camp speaker, Alastair Roberts to discuss his talks on a theology of the sexes. In an age where the objective nature of a person's sex is being questioned, how ought Christians to think about the issue? To what degree is feminism to blame for the issues we're facing? How can we recover a biblical theology of the sexes? How does or doesn't that fit with all the talk about the need to recover masculinity and femininity, especially in our circles? Tune-in to find out!

VaultAI Summary: This sermon explores Psalm 110 to reveal the dual nature and authority of Jesus Christ as both David's descendant and eternal Lord. The preacher emphasizes that Christ, seated at God's right hand, possesses absolute dominion over all enemies and nations for the sake of His church. Central to this message is the transformative power of the Mediator, who makes sinners willing to come to Him and secures their salvation through His perpetual priesthood. The text highlights the comfort believers find in knowing that Christ intercedes continually and rules with total sovereignty. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to trust in Christ's victorious power and respond with willing obedience and worship.

The sermon establishes that Jesus Christ is the exclusive path to salvation, rejecting all other religious systems and human efforts as insufficient for reconciliation with God. It defines salvation as rescue from divine wrath and the gift of eternal life, achieved solely through faith in Jesus as the fully God and fully man mediator. The text argues that Jesus alone qualifies as this mediator because his infinite divine nature provides a sacrifice of sufficient value to absorb God's wrath against sin. By fulfilling the role of the second Adam and high priest, Christ perfectly kept the law and offered himself as a propitiation for sins on behalf of humanity. Consequently, believers are justified by faith alone, receiving peace with God through the imputed righteousness of Christ rather than their own works.

Which had the golden censer, and **the ark of the covenant** overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. (Hebrews 9:4-5) *1/ Christ's person is seen. 2/ Christ's work is seen. 3/ How Christ is set forth is seen.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the Ark of the Covenant as a profound type of Jesus Christ, examining its construction and contents to reveal theological truths about His person and work. The shittim wood overlaid with gold illustrates Christ's dual nature as fully human and fully divine, while the items within the ark symbolize His role as spiritual sustenance, legitimate high priest, and fulfiller of the law. The mercy seat and cherubim highlight the provision of mercy through blood and the open way to God made possible by Christ's sacrifice. The preaching emphasizes that the Old Testament shadows point directly to the reality of Jesus, who now intercedes in heaven and guides His people through life. This exposition aims to strengthen believers' faith by connecting the historical tabernacle rituals to the gospel fulfilment in the New Testament.

Now right here… we're introduced to someone unexpected. It's not a king. It's not a warrior. It's not a priest. But instead… it's a woman named Deborah. Now… throughout church history... people have argued about Deborah. Some have tried to explain away her leadership. Others have tried to use Deborah… to make arguments… Scripture itself never makes. But folks... we just need to get out of the way… and simply let the Bible speak. The Bible presents Deborah with tremendous honor. She's called three things. First… Deborah Was a Prophetess. Now what does that mean? Folks… it means she spoke God's Word faithfully. Now we need to stop for a moment… and we need to understand what a prophet actually did. Most people hear the word "prophet"… and immediately think of someone who… predicts the future. Now… sometimes prophets did predict the future. But their primary responsibility… was something much greater. A prophet represented God… before the people. They proclaimed God's truth. They called people back to covenant faithfulness. They confronted sin. They encouraged obedience. Matthew Henry once wrote: "The greatest work of a prophet… is not foretelling the future, but bringing men… back to God." Folks... in Judges 4… that's exactly what Deborah was doing. Israel had forgotten God's Word. So God raised up somebody… who would faithfully proclaim it.
