Circumcision was established by God to identify specific earthly promises to Abraham and his descendants and to the nation that would come from him and through which the Messiah would come. Specifically, it was a sign that Abraham would be the father of many nations, and that through Israel, Jesus the Christ, the seed, would be born. Circumcision also pointed toward a greater spiritual reality in that while physical circumcision could not achieve any real constraint of sin and caused God to have no obligation to save anyone, circumcision of the heart was only for the sons of God. But as is often the case with the earthly types that God institutes, because of sin, physical circumcision is often taught to have direct spiritual significance. In the New Testament, there were Jews who tried to tie circumcision directly to salvation to the point where Peter was caught up in their lies and had to be publicly rebuked by Paul. This is also a distinct disagreement between Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists where Presbyterians associate circumcision with baptism and by implication apply the promises of the baptism of Jesus Christ to unbelieving children and from it a form of belonging or covenant membership within the church. We believe that this Presbyterian view of the relationship between circumcision and baptism is contrary to scripture. (We are even more opposed to the views of circumcision and baptism that lead to paedocommunion and to the teachings called Federal Vision)Please join us as we discuss the nature of circumcision and the purposes to which God appointed it.

The Sunday School lesson explores the doctrine of God's eternal decree as outlined in Chapter 3 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, emphasizing that God sovereignly ordains all that comes to pass according to His wise and holy will. It distinguishes between God's active role in salvation and His passive role in reprobation, clarifying that He is not the author of sin but works through secondary causes to bring about good from evil. The teaching highlights the comfort found in God's unchangeable nature and foreknowledge, contrasting this with the human desire for control and the theological error of middle knowledge. By examining key passages such as Romans 9 and 1 Peter 2, the message asserts that election is solely of grace, while reprobation is a just passing by of those who deserve judgment. The lesson concludes with a pastoral caution to handle these profound truths with humility and care, recognizing the mystery involved in God's unsearchable judgments.

This sermon examines the warning against idolatry in Deuteronomy 4, highlighting the human tendency to create manageable gods rather than worship the invisible Creator. It contrasts the judgment of nations given over to their idols with God's faithful preservation of Israel through the intercession of Moses. The message identifies Jesus Christ as the ultimate and eternal Mediator who stands in the breach, unlike the temporary mediator Moses, and who bore the curse of covenant breaking on the cross. The sermon concludes by urging believers to reject self-made idols and offer worship in spirit and truth, trusting in the unshakable kingdom of Christ who will return in glory.

In this evening sermon, Pastor Rockhill opens the closing scene of Acts chapter twelve, tracing the swift downfall of Herod Agrippa I. The central burden is the jealous glory of God: the Lord will not share His honor with any man, and those who exalt themselves against Him and persecute His people will surely be brought low. Pastor Rockhill walks through the aftermath of Peter's miraculous escape, the execution of the helpless guards, and Herod's journey to Caesarea, where, arrayed in dazzling royal garments, he accepted the blasphemous praise of the crowd as the voice of a god. Drawing on the historian Josephus to confirm the reliability of Luke's account, he shows how Herod, unlike the humbled Nebuchadnezzar of Daniel four, refused to give glory to God and was struck down, eaten by worms. The doctrine pressed home is the sovereignty of God over kings and nations. Pastor Rockhill contrasts the tyrant's forgotten oration with the enduring Word of God, which, as Luke records, grew and multiplied through faithful men like Barnabas, Saul, and John Mark. The application reaches both rulers and ordinary believers. Pastor Rockhill calls civil leaders to humble themselves before Christ the King, and he encourages the persecuted church to boldness, assuring the congregation that though proud opponents will be silenced, the gospel never will. God remains the God of the impossible, and His truth advances to the praise of His glorious name alone.

This sermon explores the biblical principle of submitting to higher authorities by examining the distinct yet overlapping spheres of government, church, and home. It argues that believers must establish their personal standards and convictions based on Scripture rather than societal norms or fear of man, recognizing that God has ordained specific roles within each institution. The teaching highlights scenarios where earthly laws conflict with divine truth, such as in matters of marriage, child-rearing, or religious expression, urging Christians to appeal to the ultimate authority of God. By citing examples like Paul's appeal to Caesar and the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego narrative, the message emphasizes standing firm on biblical truth while maintaining a posture of respectful submission to legitimate earthly governance. The tone is instructional and pastoral, encouraging the audience to discern where their obligations lie and to live with confidence in God's sovereignty over all earthly powers.

In this Psalm 1 expository sermon, explore The Way of Prosperity & The Way That Perishes Part 1 to discover true spiritual blessing. Psalm 1 serves as the magnificent gateway to the entire book of Psalms. It presents a stark contrast between two types of people and their final destinies before a holy God. True spiritual prosperity is not found in human moralism but is a direct result of God rescuing a sinner by grace. The righteous man is planted by streams of water and nourished entirely by the eternal word of God. This spiritual vitality produces lasting fruit regardless of earthly circumstances or seasons of drought. Meanwhile, those who reject God remain spiritually dead by nature and separated from His covenant blessings. Ultimately, this passage demands a personal response regarding where you stand before the Lord. The impending day of judgment will permanently separate the congregation of the righteous from the wicked. We must look to Christ alone for our salvation and delight fully in His revealed truth. Key Biblical Takeaways: - True blessing is a divine gift of grace rather than the result of human moralism or fleshly effort. - The righteous are firmly planted and nourished by God to bear spiritual fruit in every season of life. - Mankind is naturally dead in sin until God sovereignly acts to regenerate and separate a people for Himself. - A final day of judgment will perfectly and eternally separate the righteous from the unrepentant wicked.

The cross of Christ offends many people because it declares that sin is so serious Christ had to die. Christ Himself also offends because He exposes our pride, calls us to repent, and claims authority over all of our lives. Yet the message of the cross is not defeat or foolishness: it is God's wisdom and power to save all who trust in Christ.
