Sermon Audio from Reformation Baptist Church in Northwest Arkansas. Equipping people to live lives changed by Jesus.
In a world drowning in lies, fake news, and broken promises, where can you find rock-solid truth?Deuteronomy 32:4 unpacks one of God's most comforting attributes: God is Truth itself. He is the One True God who is always true and always faithful. He God alone is the immovable Rock we can build our lives upon. His Word is completely trustworthy, and every promise finds its ultimate “Yes” in Jesus Christ, who declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”If you're weary of shifting sand and longing for something secure to anchor your soul, look no further than the God of Truth.
Does God ever change His mind? If God has eternally decreed all things, how do we explain passages where He seems to “repent,” regret, or relent — like the Flood in Genesis 6, Nineveh in Jonah, or Old Covenant Israel after the Golden Calf in Exodus 32?This sermon tackles one of the most difficult questions about God's character: Can the unchanging, sovereign God of the universe actually “repent” or alter His plans? Through Numbers 23:19 and several key stories, we explore the immutability of God, the nature of His eternal decree, and why passages that appear to show God changing His mind don't contradict His absolute sovereignty, but ultimately reveal the riches of God's grace in Jesus ChristThe good news of God's Eternal Decrees is that if God never changes His plan, then all of His promises, His love, and His plan of redemption are completely trustworthy in Christ.If you've ever wrestled with the Bible's apparent contradictions, questioned God's sovereignty, or simply want to know Him better, this sermon offers clarity and confidence in the unchanging character of God.
If God has eternally decreed and predestined everything that comes to pass, then why pray? Do we really have free will? Does anything we do actually matter or are we just robots following a divine script? God's Eternal Decree is one of the most challenging doctrines in the Bible because how can we be free and willing agents who make real choices if it's all already planned and predestined to take place. In this sermon we walk the line between God's Sovereignty and and real human freedom to show how God's Eternal Plan is not fatalism but gives our life real meaning and purpose.
How can an All-Powerful, Good and loving God allow so much evil in the world? 'The Problem of Evil is one of the greatest and most difficult challenges to our faith, What are we to make of all the evil and suffering of the world and how does the Problem of Evil actually reveal the glory of God rather than questioning a good and loving God actually exists?
Is God truly in control of everything — even evil, suffering, and the smallest details of your life?The doctrine of God's eternal decree teaches us how the Lord has sovereignly ordained all things whatsoever come to pass for His glory and the salvation of His elect.God's sovereignty even extends to sin and the Fall while God's wisdom and goodness are never compromised. If you've wrestled with the problem of evil, divine providence, or what it means to trust a completely sovereign God, this sermon will challenge, humble, and encourage you.Part 1 of "The Absolute Sovereignty of God" | Reformed theology | Divine decrees
Who's really in charge of your life — you or God?God's sovereignty is the one truth that changes everything in your life. His sovereignty says God is God and we are not - all of our life belongs to Him. He is Sovereign over the wind, the waves, every empire of the world, and every molecule of the universe. What does God's sovereignty and power say about God's glory and for us when life falls apart?
What if the empty tomb means more than just forgiveness for today but also a hope for the future?By His death and resurrection Jesus conquered sin and death, offers full forgiveness of sins right now, and promises a new glorified eternity with no more death, pain, or tears.Jesus' resurrection is the firstfruits of our own resurrection leading to eternal life with God in the renewed creation.Heaven is God dwelling with His people, wiping every tear from our eye, and where the former things have passed away.The resurrection of Christ gives us a living hope for eternity.
Does God see me? Can I trust Him? Does God really care? The Doctrine of God's Omniscience answers questions of our everyday life and helps us to walk in comfort with greater faith in the all-knowing, infinitely wise God who never learns, never forgets, and sovereignly ordains all things for His glory and our good. God's perfect knowledge guarantees His promises, fuels genuine repentance, and shines brightest in the wisdom of the gospel — Jesus Christ, the power and wisdom of God.
How can you know and draw near to a holy and invisible God? "God is spirit" and God's aseity (having life in Himself) point us to Jesus Christ as the only way to draw near to God the Father and have Eternal Life.
Who is God? God reveals Himself in His divine attributes. This week we look at God's Holy Glory in His divine attributes of Simplicity, Immutability, Infinity, Incomprehensibility, Immensity, Omnipresence, Eternity, and Holiness.
Where do you go when the storms and pains of life come? We need truth for our suffering to anchor our souls amidst the winds and the waves. In our suffering God promises to never leave us or forsake us and God promises to work all things together for His glory and our good.
Where do you go when the storms and pains of life come? We need truth for our suffering to anchor our souls amidst the winds and the waves. In suffering God is our Refuge and Deliverer, and God is Sovereign over every detail of our life.
There are two ways to live. We can either live by the light of the Word or walk by the torch of our own wisdom. One path leads to life and the other leads to death. To live in the light of the Word, we need to read the Bible for transformation and not just information reading the Word to renew our hearts and our minds.
How do we know that the Bible is the Word of God? The Bible is God's gracious revelation of Himself to Man and if it is truly the Word of God it should be the most precious gift in our life.
What is the biblical roadmap for repentance that leads to true freedom in Christ? How do we confess our sins and experience the forgiveness God has given us in Christ?
What is sin and where does it come from? Are people born inherently good and become sinners or are we born in sin with a corrupted sin nature? Only by truly looking into the mirror of our sin can we see the mercy, kindness, and love of God's grace.
What is the Fruit of the Spirit and how do you grow in it?
In our war against sin, too many Christians spend their life surrendering ground to the enemy trying to manage their sin instead of putting it to death. Life in the New Man is putting off the Old Self and putting on the New. Its making war on your sin and crucifying the flesh.
Godliness is the aim of the Christian life. The problem is we always fall short when we strive for godliness by our own strength and power. The only way to live a godly life is by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit who God promises to give to those who ask Him.
The Angel announced the birth of Christ with good news of great joy! What is the good news of Christmas in the birth the Savior?
The story of Christmas is not just a baby in a manger, the star Bethlehem, and wise men. The story of Christmas is actually the good news of the Gospel itself. That Jesus was born a man to save us from our sins to give us the greatest gift of all... justification by faith.
Are Christians required to give financially to their church? Why? How much? Isn't that just turning the Church corporate? Most Christians have an instant reaction when a church talks about money, but that's because most Christians have not been discipled in how their giving ties into their worship and God's generous gift to us in Jesus Christ.
How can you grow in your love and worship of God? Who God is, what God has done, and what God promises to do fuels a greater love and worship of God and quenches the thirst of our dry and thirsty souls.
Christians are called to give thanks in all circumstances. True worship is a response to who God is and what God's done in Christ with a glad and thankful heart.
As God's Servant to punish the Evil and honor the Good, what do Christians owe the Civil Magistrate? What are the duties of Christian Citizenship? What does it mean to submit to the governing authorities in Romans 13 and is taxation theft or something else?
Most of us look at the government as a necessary evil but God ordained the Civil Magistrate to be a blessing for your good. How is can the Magistrate be a blessing under God and what has God given the Civil Magistrate to do in punishing evil and honoring the good?
When you talk about returning to the Christian principles that built our nation, several objections will start to come up. "Jesus said 'My Kingdom is not of this world.'" "We're not a Theocracy/We are not Old Covenant Israel." And "What about the Freedom of Religion and the Separation of Church and State?" How do Christians answer these and uphold a Christian Vision of Government?
With all the talk about Christian Nationalism, what does the Bible actually say about what God calls the Civil Magistrate to be and do? What is their standard of justice and how should they rule? According to their own wisdom or God's Word?
Christ's Kingdom is a Righteous, Blessed, Universal, Redemptive and Eternal reign and as King He is our Shepherd, Champion, Temple, and King of Perfect Peace.
Theology of Creation teaches us the Theology of Life. The heavens declare the glory of God and teach us that God is glorious and worthy of all of our life, love, worship and obedience.
In a world of darkness and spiritual war against principalities and powers, Christians should reclaim the imprecatory Psalms. We should pray that God would thwart the wicked and deliver the righteous that the world would know God's judgment and glory.
How do we trust that God is good and walk in faith in the midst of suffering and the Valley of the Shadow of death? When Christians suffer we can feel like God is far off and uncaring about our pain. But God is ever near us and sovereign over all things including our suffering.
How do the Psalms long for and anticipate Jesus? A common theme of then Psalms looks to the promises of the Davidic Covenant and asks, "Where is the King?" How does Christ fulfill all the promises of the Davidic Covenant as the True Son of David who rules over all to the good, blessing, and salvation of His people?
How do you worship in the Lord's Supper? What does it practically to take the Lord's Supper for the most spiritual benefit? To feast at the Table, believers need to Remember Christ, Repent of their sin, and Renew their commitment to follow Him.
Repentance is necessary to take the Lord's Supper in a worthy manner. It's impossible for us to celebrate all that the Supper is while holding onto the very same sins that nailed Christ to the cross in the first place. There must be a true and godly repentance in order to enjoy the sweetness of Christ's grace.
1 Corinthians 10:14-22The Lord's Supper is more than just a memorial meal that remembers Christ's death. It is a means of grace that nourishes and grows our faith. But what does that mean and what does it actually look like? Does this turn the Lord's Supper into a never ending search for some spiritual experience? How does it nourish and grow our faith?
Exodus 1-15How does the Passover help us celebrate the Lord's Supper? The story of the Exodus is the story of the Gospel. In redeeming His people from Egypt God showed us what His true redemption would look like in Jesus Christ who is the True Passover Lamb of the True Passover.
Matthew 26:26-29What are we doing when we celebrate the Lord's Supper? Its more than a ritual. Its worship. In the Lord's Supper we remember Christ's suffering and death and celebrate the salvation we have in Him.
John 21When we are at our lowest... down and out... in the pit... the Gospel gives the hope of redemptive grace. No one is ever too far gone or too far off to be saved, redeemed, and restored by Christ.
John 20:30-31Jesus' signs are living-breathing sermons that preach the glory and the grace of Christ. In His signs we see the grace that Christ has for all of us.
John 20:23You need the Church. Many Christians never join a church or refuse to go to church at all forsaking the blessings Christ has given us in committing ourselves to a local church body. Why do you need the church and why is the church such a gift from Christ to you?
John 20:19-29The church is sent in the power of the Holy Spirit on Christ's mission to preach the good news of eternal life to the world.
John 20:17What blessings do we have in Christ with God as our Heavenly Father? In Christ we are adopted as beloved sons and daughters and have the blessings of the Father's: 1. Love and ProvidentialCare, 2. Ear in Prayer, and 3. Discipline.
John 20:17-18Through the Death and Resurrection of Christ Christians receive Grace in the New Covenant and Adoption as beloved sons and daughters of God.
