1. The Preaching's Message 2. The Preaching's Hearers 3. The Preaching's Validity This sermon explores the theological concept of the 'keys of the kingdom of heaven,' arguing that the public, official preaching of the Gospel is the primary means by which God opens the kingdom to believers and shuts it against unbelievers. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 2 and the Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Days 31, the message emphasizes that the core of the Gospel is the promise of the forgiveness of sins, which is received specifically through faith, a gift granted by the Holy Spirit to the elect. The preacher distinguishes between the profitable pain of divine discipline and the corrupting influence of the prosperity gospel, urging the congregation to reject any message that dilutes the truth of sin and judgment. By highlighting the dual nature of the Gospel as both a promise of life and a warning of death, the sermon calls for a reverent engagement with the Word, recognizing that what the church declares on earth is bound in heaven.

The sermon explores the central theme that the greatest fulfillment in life is found in a personal relationship with God, a truth rooted in Jeremiah and illustrated through the Gospel of John. It addresses Philip's request to see the Father by clarifying that Jesus is the exclusive path to knowing God, asserting His divine nature as God in the flesh. The message presents Jesus' words and works as definitive evidence of His deity, calling for a response of wholehearted belief rather than mere intellectual assent. It further outlines the promises for those who know God, including the empowerment to do greater works through the Holy Spirit and the assurance of answered prayer when asked in Jesus' name. The tone is instructional and pastoral, urging believers to examine their personal relationship with Christ and to actively engage in the mission and privileges of the Christian life.

In this epistle, John reminds us, with themes from his Gospel and first epistle, that true believers are all in for truth and love. As we observe the teaching of Christ, we are aware of false teachers and watch that we are careful to follow Christ's commands and do not compromise the truth.

I. What Is the Fruit of Faithfulness? A. Knowing B. Receiving/Assenting C. Resting/Trusting II. How Is It Manifested? A. Obedience B. Dependence C. Allegiance D. Awareness/Self-Consciousness

The sermon explores the command to serve the Lord in truth with all one's heart, contrasting genuine devotion with mere compliance. Using the story of Jonah and Israel's demand for a king as illustrations, the message highlights how a lack of proper reverence and a failure to remember God's past faithfulness lead to insincere obedience. The text emphasizes that true service requires a stable, wholehearted commitment rooted in the fear of the Lord and a recognition of His worthiness. Listeners are encouraged to examine their own attitudes, moving from grudging duty to cheerful, consistent devotion in their daily lives. The sermon concludes with an invitation for unsaved individuals to accept Jesus as their Savior to begin this journey of wholehearted service.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is essential to salvation. There are many gospels being preached and many people are being deceived because they are excited about a lie. They know better because God has given every person a conscience. That conscience needs to be fed the truth. Those who despise the truth will find themselves under God's wrath. That is not a good place to be.

That many people from all nations will be included in the census of the Lord's people is a truth already made known in the Old Testament.
