Reformed & Expository Preaching

The Lord commanded Israel to go into the land to engage in holy war. They are to devote all that is unholy to destruction. We skip ahead in Scripture and we consider Jeremiah 29. This is a letter that Jeremiah writes to the exiles. He encourages them to seek the welfare of the city. What does this have to do with us today? We consider how Jeremiah 29 informs our life today as we sojourn under the sun as those secured in Christ.

Abraham receives the official Covenant of Grace in Genesis 15. The Lord is going to establish his covenant promise through this barren couple. This barren couple will have a son, the seed of the woman (Gen 3:15) will be sustained despite barrenness.

Abraham and Sarah have a crises of faith doubting that the Lord really can give them a son. Their crises and action is recorded in Genesis 16. Abraham and Sarah conspire to use a surrogate mother to establish the Lord's line. They are going to help God establish his covenant line.

In Genesis 17 the Lord gives a sign that symbolizes the promised heir will come through Abraham and Sarah's line. This barren couple will continue the lineage of the woman's seed despite their doubts. Abraham and Sarah both laugh at this prospect, but the Lord is faithful.

In terms of the sacraments we see the the precedent of the parents professing faith, and then the household receiving the sign. We also see how this sign pictures the gospel promise.

If Christ is the one who secures us, makes us alive, and guarantees our passage into heaven then are there norms for us to live out? Do we just say that we are secured in Christ and now we can live how we want? Are we called to dominate the society that is around us? How do we evangelize the world as we sojourn under the sun? What does it mean to live that peaceful and quiet life?

The Lord promises to bring his people into His rest. So, now we consider the Lord’s people going into Canaan. They have a command to devote to destruction which is pretty extreme. How does this show that the Lord is serious about his redemption and also his judgment?
