Pastor Nate Harlan leads us through this encapsulation of the Gospel in John’s first epistle. An important lesson: If a church’s members fail to confess their sins to one another, they will not have true fellowship with one another. And if they do not have fellowship with one another, they will not have fellowship with God.

The post Walking in the Light — 1 John 1:5–10 first appeared on Trinity Reformed Church.

Why does the incarnation of Jesus Christ matter? Pastor Nate Harlan begins a series through the book of 1 John to discover the answers. We soon realize the importance of doctrine, in this case the doctrines of Christology, that guard us from heresies that would either deny Christ’s divinity or his humanity.

In his third sermon on the Reformation, Pastor Nate Harlan looks to Scripture to exhort us that the way to reformation happens when pastors do their jobs of humbling us, unifying us, and protecting us.

Pastor Nate Harlan delivers this second sermon on the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. We study how the reformers returned to the faithful preaching of the cross, which is what brings about true reformation. If we modern-day American Christians are to continue the work of reformation in our day, then it absolutely must begin here, with the faithful preaching of Christ and Him crucified.

The post More Than Conquerors 1: For the Love of Truth first appeared on Trinity Reformed Church.

Pastor Nate Harlan wraps up his series on the early chapters of Genesis by addressing the judgment of God against mankind as they built the Tower of Babel.

We live with the consequences of this judgment to this day. Wonder why the earth is so full of division and why mankind has such a difficult time dwelling as one family in this fallen world of ours? It stems back to this moment of judgement when God scattered the nations and confused their languages.

October 1: Mankind has a desire to unify under one name, as one family. Unity is a good desire — unless it is separate from the rule of Jesus Christ, who has been given all authority over all the nations by God the Father.

The post All Authority: A sermon by Nate Harlan on Matt. 28:16-20 first appeared on Trinity Reformed Church.

Faithful sons bring blessing, redemption, glory, and honor to their fathers. But the record of Scripture reveals to us that most of the world’s troubles can be attributed to unfaithful sons.

The post Faithful Sons: A sermon by Nate Harlan on Genesis 9:18–28 first appeared on Trinity Reformed Church.

As Pastor Nate Harlan continues his series on the first 11 chapters of Genesis, today we examine the Noahic Covenant in Genesis 9.

The world of our day in many ways resembles the world of Noah’s day, pre-flood: A world full of darkness, a world full of violence. Our expectation might be that God is going to destroy the world much like He did in Noah’s day. Instead, we find great hope in the Noahic Covenant. God’s plan is not the destroy the world. His plan is to redeem the world.

The post God Saves the World: A sermon by Nate Harlan on Genesis 9:1–17 first appeared on Trinity Reformed Church.

God’s purpose in judgment is not ultimately to destroy, but to redeem. The life of Noah is a foreshadowing of the Messiah; the purpose of the Old Testament is to point us toward Christ and to ground our faith in Him.
