Legacy Reformed Baptist Church Sermon Audio

In this passage from Matthew's Gospel we see both Jesus' prophetic statement that He was "about to be delivered into the hands of men" and an interaction between Him and Peter regarding paying the Temple tax.

In Matthew 17 and in the parallel passage found in Mark 9, Jesus' disciples are unable to heal a boy possessed by a demon who often through him into the water or into the fire. After Jesus casts out the demon, He explains to His disciples that it is by faith — even faith the size of a mustard seed — that we can accomplish great things to the glory of God.

In Romans 10, the apostle Paul declares that "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." After this glorious promise, he asks four rhetorical questions: "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?" This passage makes clear that having heard, believed, and called upon Christ ourselves, every Christian should be committed to going and proclaiming the excellencies of Christ to others.

In Acts 2:22-36, the apostle Peter delivers a bold sermon declaring that Jesus, who had been crucified, had raised from the dead and that "that God has made him both Lord and Christ."

Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem before His crucifixion was marked by both joy and sorrow. His followers rejoiced, proclaiming “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And yet Jesus expressed profound sorrow for those in Israel who rejected the Prince of Peace. His response of compassion for the lost should impact how we view those who reject God in our own day, desiring that they would find peace with God through Jesus Christ.

In Matthew 16 Jesus makes use of His favorite self-designation: The Son of Man. In this passage we read that the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. In this sermon we consider the meaning of this judgment as well as what it means that "there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

The Christian life is not to be focused on self-fulfillment but self-denial. As Christ said to His disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."

Immediately after being commended by Jesus for recognizing Him to be the Messiah, Peter was then rebuked by Jesus for unwittingly being a stumbling block on His way to the cross.

Listen to this sermon on Matthew 16:13-20 as we explore this important question. This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

When asked by Jesus "Who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” To this Jesus responded “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven." In this sermon on Matthew 16:13-20 we examine just how remarkable it is that Peter recognized and confessed Jesus of Nazareth to be the long-awaited Messiah.

After condemning the adulterous generation epitomized by the Pharisees and Sadducees who had come out to challenge Jesus, He and His disciples headed out across the lake. One they way, Jesus gave the disciples a warning that they did not immediately understand. They were to beware the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. That is, they were to guard themselves against their teaching. The teaching that marked the spirit of that age. We must learn the lesson of Jesus’ warning. We must be guarded both against the kind of errors that marked the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees, as well as understand the spirit of this age and guard ourselves against the prevalent dangers we now face.

In Matthew 16:1-4 we see the Pharisees and the Sadducees teaming up to challenge Christ. Despite their animosity towards each other, these groups found common cause in seeking to suppress the influence of Jesus. Sadly, we continue to see this in our own day as worldviews which would otherwise be at odds with one another unite in their opposition to God and His Word. In this message we'll see how Christ responded to these groups and how Christians should respond today. This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

As we start the year, it is good for us to remind ourselves that whatever we face in the days to come, God's ways are better than our ways.
