Psalms 86:11 "Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name." King James Version

Christians have been forgiven and transformed through faith in Jesus Christ, but they have not yet been perfected. Temptation, weakness, and remaining sin continue to affect believers throughout the Christian life. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how Christ has broken sin's dominion, why the flesh continues to oppose the Holy Spirit, and why the believer's struggle against sin does not mean salvation has failed. Christians can fight sin with confidence because sanctification is underway, God's grace is sufficient, and glorification is coming.

The sermon examines the theological and behavioral disconnect in the life of the Apostle Peter, specifically contrasting his initial acceptance of the Gentile mission in Acts with his later withdrawal in Antioch as recorded in Galatians. It argues that Peter's vacillation was not merely a lapse in memory but a failure to align his actions with the doctrine he had received, driven by peer pressure, prejudice, and fear of social rejection. The message emphasizes that sound doctrine must inevitably transform behavior, warning against the modern tendency to minimize theological truth in favor of cultural acceptance or entertainment. By tracing Peter's journey from vision to compromise and finally to restoration at the Jerusalem Council, the sermon calls believers to examine their own lives for inconsistencies between belief and practice. It concludes with an urgent appeal to reconcile one's conscience with biblical truth, urging both believers to live out their convictions and unbelievers to turn to Christ for salvation.

This sermon explores the foundational biblical truth that the Lord is good, drawing from four distinct passages to illustrate different dimensions of divine character. The speaker defines the Hebrew concept of goodness as something pleasant, beneficial, and excellent, arguing that this attribute is not contingent on human circumstances. Through Psalm 100, the sermon presents God's goodness as perpetual, extending from everlasting to all generations without expiration. Psalm 135 is used to show that this goodness makes worship a pleasant and joyful experience rather than a mere obligation, while Lamentations 3 reveals its personal nature, reaching specifically those who wait and seek Him even in the midst of suffering. Finally, Nahum 1 is cited to demonstrate that God's goodness serves as a protective stronghold for believers during times of trouble and judgment. The message concludes with a pastoral invitation for individuals to experience this unchanging goodness through salvation and trust in Christ.

Welcome to today's episode, where we begin an in-depth, step-by-step journey through Volume 1 of the landmark two-volume Hickman edition of *The Works of Jonathan Edwards*, published by Banner of Truth. In this discussion, we lay the groundwork for our series by exploring the history of this monumental collection—including Sereno Dwight's foundational 19th-century *Memoirs* and how it compares to early biographies like those of Samuel Hopkins and Alexander Allen—before providing a guided tour through each treatise in the table of contents. From landmark philosophical and theological masterworks like *Freedom of the Will*, *Original Sin*, *The End for Which God Created the World*, and *Religious Affections*, to historical revival accounts, church controversy defenses, and pastoral sermons, this episode serves as your essential roadmap to understanding the scope, context, and enduring spiritual legacy of Edwards' primary writings.

Take Heed How You Hear Isaiah 55:10-11; Luke 8:1-18 September 20, 2026

Last week we thought about the importance of being right with God. Yesterday morning, from Ephesians 4, we turned our attention to being right with each other. We considered the importance of unity within the body of Christ — loving one another, bearing with one another, forgiving one another, and guarding the unity that the Lord has given us. We also spoke to those who have been genuinely hurt by others, especially when the other person cannot, or will not, recognise the wrong they have done. We may not be able to change another person's heart, but we can keep our own heart right before God, refuse bitterness, and leave the matter safely in His hands. "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:3
