And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. (Isaiah 22:20-25) ~~~~~ This sermon was preached on Lord's Day afternoon at Ebenezer Strict Baptist Chapel, Broad Oak, Heathfield, East Sussex, England. ~~~~~ *1/ Eliakim - A type of Christ. 2/ Christ - A nail in a sure place. 3/ Christ - What was hung upon him. 4/ Christ - The burden that was cut off when he lay down his life.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon presents Isaiah 22:20–25 as a profound typology of Jesus Christ, revealing Him as the divinely appointed, unshakable foundation of God's covenant people. Through the figure of Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the text illustrates Christ's role as the sure nail fastened in a firm place—secure in the Trinity, the Scriptures, God's eternal purposes, and the hearts of believers—enduring all trials and unmovable by sin, death, or human failure. The passage emphasizes that upon Christ are hung all the glory, burdens, and sins of His people, who are united to Him in His sacrificial death, where He bore the full weight of divine judgment. His crucifixion, described as being cut off, was not defeat but the decisive removal of the burden of sin, fulfilling God's redemptive plan and securing eternal salvation. The sermon concludes by affirming that the Holy Spirit's work in conviction, repentance, and faith confirms that believers are those for whom Christ died, and thus their sins are truly forgiven and removed.

This is a rerecording of our Sunday School class from May 17, 2026. A power surge at the church shut down our computer and cable and we lost the original recording. I took some time this afternoon and took advantage of some beautiful weather to work through Galatians 2 for those who are following along as we study the Epistles in Chronological order.

He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. (Numbers 23:21) *1/ Balaam and lessons from this account. 2/ Three things said of Jacob - God's people:* *- How God views them in Christ.* *- God is with them.* *- Jesus is their King and Lord.* ~~~~~ This sermon was preached Lord's Day afternoon at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel Ashwell. The deacon giving out the hymns is Mr Brian Northern. ~~~~~ **Sermon summary:** The sermon centers on the transformative power of God, who turns human attempts to curse into divine blessings, as illustrated in Balaam's reluctant blessings over Israel. Though Balaam, a man driven by greed and ill intent, was compelled by God to speak words of praise, his motives reveal a dangerous spiritual danger: the separation of outward profession from inward faith, where one may speak truth without true devotion. The passage highlights three profound truths about God's people: **first,** that God sees them not in their sin but through the imputed righteousness of Christ, rendering them faultless; **second,** that the Lord's presence is their constant companion, guiding them through life and into eternity; and **third,** that Jesus Christ is their rightful King, whose authority is acknowledged not in words alone but in willing obedience. The message calls believers to examine their hearts, reject the spirit of Balaam, and embrace a faith marked by genuine submission, where the blessings of God are not merely received but lived out in faithful surrender to Christ's lordship.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (John 3:14) ~~~~~~~~ A Lord's day afternoon service in the lounge of Milward Pilgrim Home, Tunbridge Wells Kent. ~~~~~~~~ *1/ A type approximately 1450 years before Christ. 2/ Even so - Christ's application and the great anti-type.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the profound connection between the Old Testament account of the bronze serpent in the wilderness and Jesus Christ's crucifixion, illustrating how both serve as divine means of salvation through faith. It emphasizes that sin, manifested in rebellion against God and His appointed leaders, brings judgment—symbolized by the deadly serpents—but repentance and faith in God's appointed remedy lead to life. Just as the Israelites were healed by looking upon the lifted serpent, believers are saved by looking to Christ, who was lifted up on the cross as a substitute, bearing the curse of sin and satisfying divine justice. The message underscores that salvation is not found in removing sin's consequences through human effort, but in faith in Christ alone, who is revealed through Scripture and proclaimed in the gospel, drawing sinners to Himself in humility and trust. The tone is both pastoral and convicting, calling listeners to recognize their sin, repent, and fix their eyes on Christ as the only source of eternal life.
