In Christ we have died to sin and in Christ we are alive to God. Daily we must consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God, actively choosing to live out who we are.

Nothing is by chance. Nothing is outside of God's providence. Yet the Lord orders all things according to the nature of second causes. Unless he steps in directly.

This instructional sermon examines the theological relationship between the church and the state, arguing that while both are institutions ordained by God, they possess distinct spheres of authority. The speaker contends that the state's primary role is to maintain civil order and enforce the second table of the law through natural law, whereas the church is responsible for promoting religion and enforcing both tables of the law through spiritual discipline. By analyzing historical confessions and biblical texts, the lesson distinguishes between the temporal peace provided by the magistrate and the eternal righteousness offered by the church. The preacher emphasizes that Christians should submit to governing authorities, pray for them, and engage in the political process to promote moral good, while recognizing that the state does not have the authority to dictate matters of faith or conscience.
