Why is it important to study history? In this sermon on Numbers 11:4–6 titled "The Lie," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows a powerful lesson from the Old Testament and the example of Israel in this passage. The Israelites were brought out of Egyptian slavery when God worked miracles by His sovereign hand. Not only this, but as they traveled through the desert, he provided food to sustain them and clothes that did not wear out. But they soon began to grumble against God and Moses because they were dissatisfied. They spoke of the many foods they had in Egypt, even though they were there as slaves. Dr. Lloyd-Jones says that modern humanity is just like Israel. It refuses to see God's work in the world and remains ungrateful for all the blessings He has given. In its sin, humanity is like the Prodigal Son, refusing to see his blessings or hold himself accountable. Sinful people will never see themselves for who they are until the gospel works in their hearts and minds to make them new. Jesus came and died so that ungrateful sinners could be freed from sin and death. Those that believe in Christ Jesus are given a new heart and mind so that they can live as new creatures who serve God in truth.

Today we continue our Summer in Psalms series as Pastor Ric walks through Psalm 51 in a message titled, "Moving From Guilt to Grace." After David's fall into sin, Psalm 51 reveals a powerful picture of genuine repentance, God's abundant mercy, and the hope of restoration. This timeless prayer reminds us that no failure is too great for God's grace and that He delights in restoring those who come to Him with humble and repentant hearts. Join us as we discover how God's mercy frees us from guilt, renews our hearts, restores our joy, and calls us to live lives of authentic worship and obedience.

From morning till evening Paul preached the kingdom of God and persuaded them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets. Some believed, and some believed not — and to those who would not hear he gave the old word of Isaiah: hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand. The salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and they will hear it.

This Bible Study examines the immediate response to Peter's Pentecost sermon in Acts 2, highlighting the call to repentance and baptism as public identifications with Christ. It explores the theological significance of receiving the Holy Spirit and the universal scope of God's promise to all whom He calls. The text details the early church's devotion to apostolic teaching, fellowship, the Lord's Supper, and prayer, which fostered a community marked by awe and generosity. Through their shared life and practical care for one another, believers demonstrated favor with the surrounding people while the Lord continuously added to their number. The message emphasizes that salvation is a gift received by faith, resulting in spiritual renewal and conformity to Christ's image through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this sermon on Genesis 12:1–4 titled "The Seed of Abraham," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows how all humanity's troubles throughout history have arisen from its rebellion against God. Before this pagan backdrop, the life of Abraham shines as an example of what it looks like to live a life of faith. The Lord called Abram out of his old way of life, offering him His friendship and untold blessing. Abram responded, leaving everything, and becoming a sojourner in this world. Do today's Christians have the same confidence in the word of God? Abram's world was exactly the same as today, and God requires the same response to His call—a call to repentance, seeing that the life one lives is against God, and doesn't have a foundation. There is a glorious type of life possible, not based on uncertainties or works, but a life based on the Son of God who gives peace with God. That was the offer made to Abram and it is the offer made to today. Come out of the old life and follow the call of God, through life and death, and even into the everlasting bliss of His kingdom.

Pastor Quint's 37th message in the series on Romans This sermon centers on the divine sovereignty and elective grace of God, illustrated through Romans 9 and reinforced by personal testimony and biblical narrative, emphasizing that salvation is not based on ancestry, human effort, or foreseen merit, but solely on God's sovereign choice and unmerited favor. Drawing from the stories of Isaac and Jacob, the preacher underscores that God's decisions—such as choosing the younger over the older—reveal His prerogative, not human merit, and that His purposes are rooted in His own character and promises, not in human performance. The message balances divine sovereignty with human responsibility, affirming that while God elects by grace, He commands all people to repent and believe, and believers are called to share the gospel with urgency. Through the example of Paul in Athens, the sermon demonstrates how God's sovereignty and human duty coexist, as God both predestines and calls individuals to faith while entrusting them with the mission of evangelism. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to trust God's mysterious yet faithful plan, recognizing that every believer's salvation is a gift of grace, not a result of personal achievement, and that God's purpose is to redeem and repurpose even the broken for His glory.

"For I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me." Paul said it in a ship the storm had beaten fourteen days — no sun, no stars, every man aboard sure he would drown. To believe God is not to hope; it is to take Him at His word and obey Him through the storm, all the way to the shore He promised.

The story of the flood as found in Genesis tells of something very important about who God is and who humanity is. In this sermon on Genesis 6:7–8 titled "God Must Punish Sin," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that the justice of God will not tolerate sin and His holiness demands the punishment of evil. This is exactly what He did in sending the flood upon the whole earth, wiping out all the inhabitants for their iniquities. He spares only Noah and his family because Noah found favor with God. Furthermore, just as God judged the world in the time of Noah, He will also come again to judge the world and punish all evildoers who do not repent and believe in Christ Jesus. Despite this clear warning, many live as if God never judges the earth. Just as those in the time of Noah scoffed at the idea that God was going to flood the earth, so today many laugh at the belief that Christ Jesus will return and bring judgment on the last day. The Bible warns that God is just and holy, and because of sin the whole world lies under the condemnation of God. It is only by believing in the gospel that any will be saved.

This lesson on salvation deals with what Christ has done for salvation. It also addresses the need for repentance and faith.
