The Reformation in Spain - Psalm 19:7 The sermon centers on the transformative power and enduring authority of Scripture, presenting the written Word of God as a living, luminous force that converts the soul, imparts wisdom to the simple, and kindles faith even in the darkest times. Drawing from Psalm 19, Psalm 119, and 2 Peter 1, it emphasizes that God's Word is not merely a historical document but a dynamic instrument of grace, capable of piercing hearts and igniting revival, as seen in the Reformation's triumph over Roman Catholic darkness. Through vivid historical accounts—particularly the courageous efforts of figures like William Tyndale, Francisco de Enzinas, Juan Perez de Pineda, and the hunchbacked evangelist Giuliano Hernandez—the sermon illustrates how the Word of God, despite persecution, smuggling, and martyrdom, has penetrated even the most oppressive regimes, including Spain's Inquisition, to bring salvation and renewal. The tone is both reverent and stirring, blending deep gratitude with urgent exhortation, calling believers to cherish, hide, and share Scripture as the supreme light in a world still hostile to divine truth. Ultimately, the message affirms that the Gospel, proclaimed through the Word, remains the surest hope and the most powerful instrument of spiritual awakening.
Adult Bible Class - Baptism & Membership Class #5 - The History & Purpose of the Free Presbyterian Church of North America The sermon presents a historical and theological narrative tracing the origins and distinctives of the Free Presbyterian Church, rooted in a commitment to biblical fidelity, doctrinal purity, and separation from ecumenical and liberal movements that compromise the gospel. It highlights pivotal moments in Irish Presbyterian history—such as the stand against Arianism, the Ulster Revival of 1859, and the 1951 Crossgar mission—as foundational to the church's identity, emphasizing that faithful resistance to heresy and compromise has been central to its existence. The church's identity as 'Free' is defined not by lack of structure or cost, but by its deliberate separation from apostate and ecumenical bodies, particularly the World Council of Churches, and its unwavering adherence to the Westminster Confession of Faith, the King James Version of Scripture, and Reformed theology. The sermon underscores the church's mission to preach the whole counsel of God, promote biblical worship, and maintain strict moral and doctrinal standards—including opposition to charismatic practices, contemporary music, alcohol use, and non-traditional marriage—while affirming its evangelistic zeal, commitment to church planting, and accountability through presbyterian governance. Ultimately, the church sees itself as a faithful remnant called to preserve the historic Christian faith, foster spiritual edification, and await Christ's return, all grounded in a theology of grace, separation, and holy living.
To the Law & The Testimony - Isaiah 8:20 The sermon centers on the enduring authority of Scripture as the ultimate standard for faith and practice, drawing from Isaiah 8:20 to affirm that any teaching not aligned with the Law and the Prophets lacks divine light. It highlights the historical fidelity of Reformation figures like John Dallae, whose writings courageously refuted Roman Catholic doctrines—such as purgatory, idolatry, and the real presence—by appealing directly to the early church fathers, who themselves rejected such teachings. The preacher warns that modern spiritual confusion, especially among young people, arises from misplaced trust in tradition and human authority rather than the clear, objective truth of Scripture. With a pastoral urgency, the message calls believers to anchor their faith solely in Christ and His Word, rejecting all systems that diminish the sufficiency of grace and the finality of Christ's atonement. The tone is both convicting and comforting, urging a return to biblical fidelity as the only path to true spiritual illumination.
The sermon centers on the critical distinction between religious zeal and saving knowledge, drawing from Romans 10:2–4 to illustrate how the Israelites, despite their fervent devotion, lacked true understanding of God's righteousness and instead sought to establish their own through works. The preacher, reflecting on his own life, reveals a personal journey marked by religious performance, spiritual pride, and deep anxiety over salvation—built on a foundation of self-effort rather than faith in Christ's finished work. Through vivid personal anecdotes, including childhood fears of hell, addiction to television, and a false sense of righteousness, he exposes the danger of misplaced confidence and the need for a radical shift from self-reliance to simple trust in Christ alone. The turning point comes through exposure to the gospel of grace, particularly through the preaching of Ian Paisley and S.B. Cook, which led him to abandon his 'filthy rag' righteousness and embrace Christ's imputed righteousness by faith. The message culminates in a powerful call to abandon all self-justification and simply look to Jesus, who has paid the full price for salvation, offering hope and peace to all who trust in Him. json
