Gen. 3:14–21 Isa. 55 Lk. 24:36–49 Acts 17:16–34 What's the difference between the law and gospel? In this final message in a short summer series, Ben Phelps shows how the law is woven into the nature of things, but the gospel of the Lord Jesus can only be found in the holy Scriptures.
Lev. 4:13–21 Ps. 50 John 1:1–18, 29–34 Heb. 9:22–10:18 Moving from the section of the catechism that explains our guilt on to the "grace" section, we learn what God Himself has done to pay the sinner's debt on their behalf. Ben Phelps preaching.
Exod. 24:3–8 Prov. 17:15 Matt. 26:26–29 Rom. 6:15–7:6 If we are now—because of sin—unable to keep God's law, then why are we still held to that standard? The answer has to do with the justice of God. In this doctrinal sermon, Ben Phelps opens up the concepts of mercy and justice, and how these are manifested in the cross of Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:26–31, 2:15–17 Jeremiah 17:9–10 John 8:31-47 Galatians 3:7–14 Ben Phelps helps us see the the heights of our creation by our good God, the depths of our fall into sin, and the heights once again of our re-creation by the Holy Spirit.
*Recording begins midway through* Genesis 6:5–8 2 Samuel 12:1–15 Mark 10:17–22 Romans 3:9–20 What's the difference between the law and the gospel? This sermon kicks off Ben Phelps' short summer series, guided by the Heidelberg Catechism, that answers that question. In this message, we learn what the law reflects when sinners like us look into it.
In a self-centered world, John the Baptist teaches us to look away from ourselves to the coming Savior, Jesus Christ. In this advent sermon, we learn to listen to the cry of the voice in the wilderness, saying "Make straight the way of the Lord!"
What do you think of when someone says "the end of the world"? Jesus wants us to think—redemption. In this Advent sermon, we open to Jesus' Olivet Discourse, where He teaches us how to read the signs of His coming and to respond, not with a sense of doom, but great confidence.
The second Sunday in Advent. We focus our hearts on Christ's arrival into Jerusalem, which reveals to us the character of both His first and second comings, and—as a result—how we might best prepare ourselves to say with the crowds, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"
*Recording begins after Scripture reading* Continuing on after the summer series in Ruth, pastoral intern Ben Phelps looks into the family history of Jesus Christ from Matthew 1, showing that our faithful God has worked throughout every generation to bring about His saving purposes.
Pastoral intern Ben Phelps concludes his series in Ruth by focusing on Boaz, who in his role as redeemer gives us a beautiful picture of Christ the Redeemer. In this message we learn about the Redeemer's work that leads to the redeemed's welcome, and paving the way for a royal dynasty, all coming from the most unlikely of courses—a Moabite woman named Ruth.
Pastoral intern Ben Phelps opens to the touching story of Ruth approaching Boaz with a marriage proposal. Exploring the powerful image of Ruth being sheltered under the shadow of Boaz's "wings," Ben shows how God's people in every age are taught to gather under the protective care of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As the widows, Ruth and Naomi, make their plans for surviving a difficult chapter in life, Boaz emerges to meet their needs. Although their decisions and actions seem ordinary, through them the covenant God is showing His faithfulness to His people. Pastoral Intern Ben Phelps continues his summer series in the book of Ruth.
Pastoral intern Ben Phelps begins a series in the book of Ruth. The story begins during a time of judgment and suffering, and from this we learn that we can be patient in adversity because God is provides, and often in unexpected ways. Audio begins after the reading of the passage.
Lev. 18:1–5 Ps. 143 Luke 5:17–26 Gal. 3:10–14 We go through tests in life that feel like passing through a judgment. There is one judgment we can't avoid, the Judgment of God. But the doctrine of justification teaches us how to pass this judgment—one of two ways: either by perfect obedience to the law (which no one can do), or by faith in the obedient Savior.
Deut. 4:32–40 Isa. 44:1–5 John 5:19–24 Rom. 3:21–28 What is faith? For something so central to Christianity, we have a lot of confusion about it. In this message guided by Belgic Confession article 22, we learn where faith comes from (the Holy Spirit), what it is (a faculty of the heart), and what is brings about (Christ given to you).
Lev. 16:1–5 Isa. 53:4–12 Matt. 27:45–51 1 Cor. 2:1–5 What is the atonement? It refers to the work of Christ that He accomplished on the cross. But what the atonement means and what Christ accomplished by it takes us to its Old Testament roots. In this doctrinal message, we open up centrality of the cross, and the good news it still proclaims today.
Deut. 28:15–19 Jer. 11:1–5 John 11:45–53 2 Cor. 5:16–21 Around the year A.D. 130, an early Christian wrote a letter to a skeptic named Diognetus, and he explained that the work of Jesus Christ for sinners like this: "O sweet exchange!" In this message, we see how God poured out His justice against His Son in order to show mercy and goodness to us.
Gen. 14:17–20 Ezek. 34:11–24 Luke 23:44–49 Heb. 5:5–10 Part of being any calling is learning its vocabulary. If you work in finances, you have to know the difference between assets and liabilities; equity, debit, and credits, and so on. There’s a Christian vocabulary too. It’s part of our calling. In this message, we learn the term “hypostatic union," which teaches that the Lord Jesus is one PERSON with two NATURES.
Gen. 15:1–6 Jer. 23:1–8 Matt. 1:18–25 Heb. 2:14–18 Ever get tired of waiting? If you open the Bible, that’s a pretty constant complaint. “How long, O Lord?” is a question that’s on repeat. The incarnation of the Son of the God is God's answer to that question. In this message, we look at Matthew 1:18–25 to see how this great miracle came about and why God did it.
Gen. 3:8–15 Lam. 3:49–60 Mark 5:24b–34 Heb. 2:14–18 When humankind fell into sin, God could've acted in swift and overwhelming justice. But instead, He made a promise. He promised that a chosen offspring would come to battle the devil, and undo all his harm. This is the promise of the covenant of grace, forged by divine love, and useful for us in all our trials and temptations.
