Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Song of Songs 1:1-2:7 Song of Songs 1:1-2:7 | Desire Awakened from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE SONG OF SONGS HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND THE SONG? DESIRE IN THE EYES OF THE WOMAN, THE MAN AND THE COMMUNITY BEHOLDING MUTUAL LOVE A WARNING Isaiah 53:2–3 (ESV) For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:4 (ESV) Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Isaiah 53:5 (ESV) But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, DUGUID OUTLINE FROM TYNDALE COMMENTARY 1.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Exodus 3:1-15 Exodus 3:1-15 | MOSES — a shepherd learns God's Name from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE FLAME IN THE BUSH THE LORD SEES I AM WHO I AM Hebrews 12:28–29 (ESV) Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Genesis 46:3–4 (ESV) Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation. I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph's hand shall close your eyes.” Exodus 4:31 (ESV) And the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped. Ross Blackburn Our starting point in understanding the meaning of the name is to understand it, not as an independent datum concerning the nature of God, but as the answer to a question.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Genesis 5:21–24, Hebrews 11:5–6 Genesis 5:21–24 | Enoch — a man walks with God from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. ENOCH WE WERE MADE TO WALK WITH GOD Requires Removal of Enmity Requires Reconciliation Requires Justification WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD THE WALK OF FAITH Amos 3:3 (ESV) Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet? Romans 5:10–11 (ESV) For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Romans 5:1 (ESV) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 8:1 (ESV) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 5:5 (ESV) and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 14:23 (ESV) For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. John 15:5 (ESV) I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. Romans 7:22–23 (ESV) For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Exodus 3:14 (ESV) God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.' ” Numbers 23:19 (ESV) God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Psalm 16:11 (ESV) You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Romans 8:38–39 (ESV) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Revelation 21:3 (ESV) Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. What Shall We Say Then? Romans 8:31–39

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 8:31–39 Romans 8:31–39 | What Shall We Say Then? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. WHAT THEN SHALL WE SAY? WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? WHO SHALL BRING ANY CHARGE? WHO SHALL SEPARATE US? Before the Throne of God Above When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt within, Upward I look and see him there, Who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free, For God the just is satisfied To look on him and pardon me Romans 3:26 (ESV) It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Before the throne of God above Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea: A great High Priest whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on his hands, My name is written on his heart. I know that while in Heav'n he stands No tongue can bid me thence depart, Colossians 3:3 (ESV) For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 2 Corinthians 4:8–11 (ESV) We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Ephesians 1:4–7 (ESV) In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace Matthew 5:11–12 (ESV) Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. D. A. Carson I do not think what the Bible says about the love of God can long survive at the forefront of our thinking if it is abstracted from the sovereignty of God, the holiness of God, the wrath of God, the providence of God, the personhood of God, to mention only a few non-negotiable elements of basic Christianity. The result, of course, is the love of God in our culture has been purged of anything the culture finds uncomfortable. The love of God has been sanitized, democratized, and, above all, sentimentalized.

Preacher: Sam Powers Romans 8:26–30 Romans 8:26–30 | Guaranteed Glory from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo.Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 8:18-25 Romans 8:18-25 | What We've All Been Waiting For from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THERE IS NO COMPARISON CREATION WAITING CREATION GROANING SAVED IN HOPE 2 Corinthians 4:17 (ESV) For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV) … let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Colossians 3:1–4 (ESV) If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Philippians 3:20–21 (ESV) But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. 2 Timothy 4:8 (ESV) Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. John Murray Not till then will the children of God be made manifest to themselves and others in the plenitude of their status and privilege as sons, and not until they are all glorified together with Christ will the body of Christ be manifested in its integrity and unity. Isaiah 55:12 (ESV) For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Revelation 22:20 (ESV) He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 2 Corinthians 5:6 (ESV) So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 2 Corinthians 5:8 (ESV) Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Who Can Please God Romans 8:12-17Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 8:12–17 Romans 8:12–17 | The Spirit of Adoption from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. WE OWE THE FLESH NOTHING WE ARE SONS, NOT SLAVES WE ARE HEIRS WITH CHRIST IN SUFFERING AND GLORY Galatians 5:19–21 (ESV) Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:22–24 (ESV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Romans 8:3–4 (ESV) … he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. John Murray The activity of the believer is the evidence of the Spirit's activity and the activity of the Spirit is the cause of the believer's activity.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 7:21–25 Romans 8:1-8 | The Spirit of Life from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE SPIRIT OF LIFE FREE FROM SIN AND DEATH TWO LIVES; TWO MINDS WHO CAN PLEASE GOD? 2 Corinthians 3:6 (ESV) For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. John 6:63 (ESV) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Galatians 5:1 (ESV) For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Ephesians 2:3 (ESV) … we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 7:21–25 Romans 7:21–25 | Who Will Deliver Me? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. A CLEAR VIEW OF THE BELIEVER'S CURRENT CONDITION SO I FIND … WRETCHED MAN! THANKS BE TO GOD! Who am I? What is my hope? SHORTER HEIDELBERG CATECHISM Luke 18:10–14 (ESV) “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” 1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV) But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. Philippians 3:12–14 (ESV) Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Preacher: Sam Powers Romans 7:13–20Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 7:7–12 Romans 7:7–12 | Is the Law Sin? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE LAW REVEALS SIN SIN EXPLOITS THE LAW THE LAW IS HOLY, RIGHTEOUS AND GOOD Romans 5:13 (ESV) for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Colossians 3:5 (ESV) Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Romans 5:13 (ESV) for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Romans 6:2 (ESV) By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Romans 5:20 (ESV) Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, John Calvin You are not indeed to understand, that no difference whatever can be known between right and wrong without the law; but that without the law we are either too dull of apprehension to discern our depravity, or that we are made wholly insensible through self-flattery Philippians 3:4–7 (ESV) If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 6:12–14 Romans 6:12–14 | Let Not Sin Therefore Reign from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. REMEMBER THE OBJECTION WHO SHALL REIGN? NOT UNDER LAW, BUT GRACE Romans 4:3 (ESV) “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Revelation 11:15 (ESV) The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. John Piper Sin takes our desires and makes liars out of them. James 1:14–15 (ESV) But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. James 1:16–17 (ESV) Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Galatians 4:4–5 (ESV) But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. Romans 5:5 (ESV) and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Are We to Continue in Sin? Romans 6:1-11Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 6:1-11 Romans 6:1-11 | Are We to Continue in Sin? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE ARGUMENT OF ROMANS ARE WE TO CONTINUE TO SIN? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE DEAD? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ALIVE? BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST JESUS Romans 1:16–17 (ESV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Augustine For a sign is a thing which, over and above the impression it makes on the senses, causes something else to come into the mind as a consequence of itself: as when we see a footprint, we conclude that an animal whose footprint this is has passed by; and when we see smoke, we know that there is fire beneath; and when we hear the voice of a living man, we think of the feeling in his mind; and when the trumpet sounds, soldiers know that they are to advance or retreat, or do whatever else the state of the battle requires. Romans 4:3 (ESV) “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Cain — a brother's worship curves inward Genesis 4:1–16Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Genesis 4:1–16 Genesis 4:1–16 | Cain — a brother's worship curves inward from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. DISORDERED WORSHIP SIN IS CROUCHING AT THE DOOR BLOOD CRIES FROM THE GROUND Hebrews 11:4 (ESV) By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. A.W. Pink First, he owned that God was righteous in driving fallen man out of Eden (Gen. 3:24). Second, he owned that he was a guilty sinner, and that death was his just due. Third, he owned that God was holy, and must punish sin. Fourth, he owned that God was merciful, and willing to accept the death of an innocent substitute in his place. Fifth, he owned that he looked for acceptance with God in Christ the Lamb. Isaiah 1:12 (ESV) “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? Martin Luther … our nature has been so deeply curved in upon itself because of the viciousness of original sin that it not only turns the finest gifts of God in upon itself and enjoys them … it even uses God Himself to achieve these aims, but it also seems to be ignorant of this very fact, that in acting [with such great injustice], so perversely, and in such a depraved way, it is even seeking God for its own sake. James 4:1–3 (ESV) What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. James 4:6–8 (ESV) Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Hebrews 12:24 (ESV) to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Genesis 3:8–21 THE CURSE IS SUFFERING THE CURSE IN OUR IMAGINATION THE GOSPEL IN THE CURSE WHAT DO WE DO WITH SUFFERING? Be Strengthened in Grace Be Sustained in Weakness 1 Corinthians 15:54–55 (ESV) “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” Galatians 3:13 (ESV) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree” James 1:4 (ESV) And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Romans 5:1–2 (ESV) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 1 Peter 5:10 (ESV) And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV) But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:10 (ESV) For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

GOD WORKS HIS COVENANT PURPOSE GOD INITIATES PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP GOD SPEAKS WITH ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY GOD MAKES GENEROUS PROVISION IMPLICATIONS Jesus is the culmination and fulfillment of the Old Covenant and the center and hope of the New Covenant. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to bring all the redeemed into intimate knowledge and fellowship with God. Jesus speaks with all the authority of heaven itself. Jesus has secured every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. 1 Corinthians 2:10 (ESV) these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. Ephesians 3:17–19 (ESV) … that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Mark 9:7 (ESV) “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, Colossians 3:1–2 (ESV) If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Luke 12:31 (ESV) Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
