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.

Article 29: The Marks of the True ChurchWe believe that we ought to discerndiligently and very carefully,by the Word of God,what is the true church—for all sects in the world todayclaim for themselves the name of “the church.”We are not speaking here of the company of hypocriteswho are mixed among the good in the churchand who nonetheless are not part of it,even though they are physically there.But we are speaking of distinguishingthe body and fellowship of the true churchfrom all sects that call themselves “the church.”The true church can be recognizedif it has the following marks:The church engages in the pure preachingof the gospel;it makes use of the pure administration of the sacramentsas Christ instituted them;it practices church disciplinefor correcting faults.In short, it governs itselfaccording to the pure Word of God,rejecting all things contrary to itand holding Jesus Christ as the only Head.By these marks one can be assuredof recognizing the true church—and no one ought to be separated from it.As for those who can belong to the church,we can recognize them by the distinguishing marks of Christians:namely by faith,and by their fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness,once they have received the one and only Savior,Jesus Christ.They love the true God and their neighbors,without turning to the right or left,and they crucify the flesh and its works.Though great weakness remains in them,they fight against itby the Spiritall the days of their lives,appealing constantlyto the blood, suffering, death, and obedience of the Lord Jesus,in whom they have forgiveness of their sins,through faith in him.As for the false church,it assigns more authority to itself and its ordinancesthan to the Word of God;it does not want to subject itselfto the yoke of Christ;it does not administer the sacramentsas Christ commanded in his Word;it rather adds to them or subtracts from themas it pleases;it bases itself on humans,more than on Jesus Christ;it persecutes thosewho live holy lives according to the Word of Godand who rebuke it for its faults, greed, and idolatry.These two churchesare easy to recognizeand thus to distinguishfrom each other.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The sermon unfolds a profound exploration of God's nature as revealed in Romans 1 and articulated in the Belgic Confession, emphasizing that God's existence is not merely inferred through philosophical or scientific proofs, but is inherently known through creation and the human conscience, which suppresses the truth they already possess. It affirms God's oneness, simplicity, and spirituality, rejecting polytheism, dualism, and anthropomorphic reductionism, while highlighting that God's attributes—eternal, incomprehensible, invisible, unchangeable, infinite, and almighty—are not merely abstract concepts but the foundation of Christian confidence, comfort, and worship. These incommunicable attributes, uniquely divine and beyond human replication, reveal a God who is both transcendent and intimately accessible through Christ, the express image of the invisible God, and whose glory is the ultimate source of all good, calling believers to a life of faith, worship, and unwavering trust in His eternal, sovereign, and unchanging nature.

The sermon presents the Belgic Confession not merely as a historical document but as a living, vital expression of faith rooted in Scripture, communal unity, and personal conviction, drawing its authority from Christ's command to confess Him with the mouth and believe in the heart, as affirmed in Romans 10:9–10. It emphasizes that the confession's public, communal, and doctrinal nature serves as a safeguard against heresy, a unifying force across generations and geographies, and a powerful witness to the world, especially in an age of biblical illiteracy and theological confusion. The speaker argues that confessions are necessary not for legalism, but for clarity, continuity, and protection—ensuring that the church remains faithful to the Word, united in truth, and equipped to defend the faith, even at great personal cost. Ultimately, the confessions are portrayed as a joyful, Spirit-empowered means of worship and discipleship, pointing believers to Christ and sustaining the church through persecution, cultural drift, and doctrinal compromise.

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.

Deut. 7:6–11 Isa. 41:5–10 John 15:15–17 Eph. 1:3–14 The doctrine of election is not meant to be a topic for debate, but good news for sinners. God has chosen to save those who could not and would not save themselves. And in this message, we learn where this choice comes from, what it leads to, and why we teach it.

Gen. 5:1–11 Job 14:1–6 Matt. 15:10–20 Rom. 5:12–21 Have you ever wondered why it is harder to maintain good habits than it is to slip into bad ones? Why do we need to teach children, over and over again, how to obey while disobedience comes naturally? In short—why is it so much easier to do wrong? The answer is that we have a deep, ingrained problem called a sin nature, or "original sin." Original sin is the corruption that all people have inherited from Adam and that deserves death.

Gen. 1:26–28 Ps. 14:1–7 John 6:41–51 Rom. 8:5–11 The future is here. World leaders speak about immortality through continuous organ transplants. Tech companies discuss how to upload our consciousness to the “digital afterlife." What does all this mean for humankind? In this message, we return to the doctrine of the image of God, which teaches us that we were made with spiritual excellence, but that has been lost in the Fall.

Exod. 9:13–18 2 Sam. 24:1–15 John 9:1–7 Jas. 1:12–18 Have you ever been told that you have control issues? Actually everyone struggles with the thought that they may not be steering the ship. In the doctrine of providence, we learn how God controls all things. Providence is God's "orderly arrangement" of all things, in line with His own nature, without causing sin, for His glory and the good of His people. It is an unspeakable comfort.

Deut. 32:10–18 Ezek. 28:11–19 Luke 10:13–20 Eph. 6:10–20 In a culture obsessed with the supernatural, Christians need to know the basic about the devil and his demons. In this message, learn where they've come from, what their goals are, and how we are to defend ourselves from them.

Gen. 28:10–17 Isa. 6:1–7 Luke 15:1–10 1 Peter 1:10–12 In the Bible, angels cause both terrible fear and deliver great comfort. Who are these mysterious figures? Tonight, we learn that because they are totally devoted to God, they are also totally devoted to the people of God. Next week, we look more closely at demons, but tonight, we learn what and who angels are, and what purpose they serve.

Gen. 9:1–4 Prov. 30:24–28 John 1:1–5 Rev. 4:6b–11  Lots of theories about how the universe got here, and why. But Scripture speaks with clarity and simplicity that God alone has created all things, visible and invisible. In this message, we contemplate the glory of God in creation and learn that He has made everything out of nothing, by His Word, and so that His creation would be drawn back to Him in worship.

Gen. 2:5–7 Job 33:1–7 John 16:4b–15 1 Cor. 2:6–16 In a time of immense confusion about the Holy Spirit, Christians must come back to the basics. In this doctrinal sermon on the deity of the Spirit, we learn the Bible's clear but challenging way of showing us who the Third Person of the Trinity is. We learn that He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and He does this not as a force, but as God Himself.

Article 4: The Canonical Books We include in the Holy Scripture the two volumes of the Old and New Testaments. They are canonical books with which there can be no quarrel at all. In the church of God the list is as follows: In the Old Testament, the five books of Moses— Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy; the books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth; the two books of Samuel, and two of Kings; the two books of Chronicles, called Paralipomenon; the first book of Ezra; Nehemiah, Esther, Job; the Psalms of David; the three books of Solomon— Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song; the four major prophets— Isaiah, Jeremiah*, Ezekiel, Daniel; and then the other twelve minor prophets— Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. In the New Testament, the four gospels— Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; the Acts of the Apostles; the fourteen letters of Paul— to the Romans; the two letters to the Corinthians; to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians; the two letters to the Thessalonians; the two letters to Timothy; to Titus, Philemon, and to the Hebrews; the seven letters of the other apostles— one of James; two of Peter; three of John; one of Jude; and the Revelation of the apostle John. * "Jeremiah" here includes the Book of Lamentations as well as the Book of Jeremiah. Article 5: The Authority of Scripture We receive all these books and these only as holy and canonical, for the regulating, founding, and establishing of our faith. And we believe without a doubt all things contained in them— not so much because the church receives and approves them as such but above all because the Holy Spirit testifies in our

Gen. 1:1–5 Mic. 5:1–4 John 1:1–13 Heb. 1:1–14 There's hardly a more important question than, Who is Jesus Christ? There are a lot of answers that have been tried out over the centuries. Our confession answers that question like this: “So then, [Christ] is the true eternal God, the Almighty, whom we invoke, worship, and serve.” In this message, we learn that Scripture describes Jesus as the Creator, and that this means our prayers and praise must treat Him as true God.

Belgic Confession Article 3 - The Word of God Written

Num. 16:25–32 Ezek. 13:1–11 Mark 12:18–27 1 Tim. 6:20–21 Scripture paints a challenging picture for our age. It shows that while the Church is a community of people who welcome others into it, it also has boundary lines. One of the boundary lines is the doctrine of the Trinity. In this message, we learn what Scripture says about those who teach false doctrine and highlight a few of the prominent groups and people in Church history who have taught a false doctrine of the Trinity in particular.

Article 2: The Means by Which We Know God We know God by two means: First, by the creation, preservation, and government of the universe, since that universe is before our eyes like a beautiful book in which all creatures, great and small, are as letters to make us ponder the invisible things of God: God's eternal power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says in Romans 1:20. All these things are enough to convict humans and to leave them without excuse. Second, God makes himself known to us more clearly by his holy and divine Word, as much as we need in this life, for God's glory and for our salvation.

Gen. 1:26–31 Isa. 63:7–14 Matt. 3:13–17 2 Cor. 13:11–14 In this message, we learn how the Bible testifies about the Triune God and that our experience of Him agrees with that testimony. 

Deut. 4:32–40 Isa. 42:5–9 John 10:22–30 Heb. 9:11–14 Many have wondered if the doctrine of the Trinity is really all the useful or practical. The moment you begin to go just a little deeper with it, you feel like you're drowning. But the truth is that because we're Christians, we also have to get used the feeling of being out of our depth. God is God, and He has revealed Himself. In this message, we focus especially on the the distinctness of each Person of the Blessed Trinity.

Deut. 12:32–13:5 Ps. 119:169–176 Mark 7:1–13 2 Tim. 3:14–4:5People ask the question, “What is God's will?” all the time. Here's what our Confession delivers to us: “We believe that the Holy Scripture contains the will of God completely…” In this message, we learn that Scripture is enough to show us God's will for salvation, for worshiping Him, and for spotting imposters.

Deut. 31:24–29 Ps. 147:12–20 Matt. 11:7–15 Rom. 3:1–4 But through Christian history, there have been questions raised about whether or not other books and writings belong in the canon of Scripture. The Belgic confession speaks of making a distinction between the “holy books” (Scripture) and the “apocryphal books.” in this message, we learn what the Apocryphal books are and why we do not receive them as Scripture. And the hope is that the Apocrypha will be put in its rightful place—not to be treated with Scriptural authority, but also not to be treated as something to avoid.

Deut. 6:10–19 2 Kgs. 22:1–13 Matt. 4:1–11 Eph. 2:17–22 God is revealed in Creation and in Scripture, but what is Scripture and why do we take it to be authoritative? In this message, we begin to answer that question with the help of Belgic Confession article 5, which shows us how God's Word alone is the final authority for faith and practice.

Deut. 18:15–20 Ps. 19:1–14 John 5:36–47 Rom. 1:18–23 We have learned about the attributes of God. Now we ask, "How has God communicated to us?" The answer is revelation, which comes in two forms or "books." The book of creation and the book of God's Holy Word. In this message, we learn how these two “books” are distinct, and how they work together.

Exod. 33:19; 34:1–9 Ps. 119:65–72 Mark 10:17–22 1 John 4:13–21Lord, "you are good and do good” (Ps. 119:67). In this final message on the attributes of God, we focus our hearts on the goodness of God and its various expressions—grace, mercy, love, patience, and faithfulness—in order to know this God and worship Him with greater joy.
