Legacy Reformed Baptist Church Sermon Audio

The Passover dominates the context of the latter half of Matthew 26. Within the setting of the Last Supper, we find the quintessential occurrence of an often misunderstood phenomenon in the betrayal of Judas Iscariot. God uses the sin of man to accomplish His good design, yet God is not the author of the sin. Even though God willed and used Judas' sin, Judas was responsible and condemned for it. Before trying to understand the Passover and the new understanding of it that Jesus gave in instituting the Lord's Table, we take some time to explore the relationship between man's responsibility and God's sovereignty. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Sandwiched between two very different answers to the question of Jesus' worth is the reality that in this age there will always be people around us facing poverty. What was the disciples' attitude toward the poor, and what how should we treat them? A question made all the more difficult since our current culture has undertaken a war on poverty founded upon anti-Christian principles; a war that has failed. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

After revealing how the rulers in Israel were plotting howthey could murder Jesus, Matthew gave us two examples that showed vary different responses to Jesus, so close to His crucifixion. The unnamed woman in the houseof Simon the Leper, and Judas Iscariot. The unnamed woman's actions proved that she knew, loved, and valued Jesus above any earthly possession. Her act of kindness is remembered throughout the centuries. Judas' actions proved he saw Jesus only as a means to what was truly important to him. He is remembered as the definition of treachery and betrayal. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Just after completing the Olivet Discourse, Matthew pivotsback to the progressing events in the narrative of Holy Week. Only a couple days removed from the Triumphal Entry, and a couple days ahead of the crucifixion, Jesus one last time prepares His disciples for what He is about to endure. All thewhile, the leaders of Israel secretly scheme about how they kill Him. A sermon preached by Caleb Stomberg at Legacy ReformedBaptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

At the end of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus warned His disciples about the universal judgment of mankind that would follow the Son of Man's return at the end of the age. In Part 1, we focused on the reality of that coming judgment. Here in Part two, we looked at the evidence that will be used to make that judgment. We see that Jesus taught that the way we show that we love Him is by loving and serving one another within the body of Christ, the church.

Lesson 17 in our Hermeneutics study, dealing with specific issues related to understanding the Revelation of John.
