Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 1 The sermon emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and faithful preaching, drawing from Acts 20 and Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 1 to underscore the responsibility of ministers to declare the entirety of God's counsel without reservation. It highlights the value of systematic instruction, rooted in Scripture, to provide comfort and assurance to believers, emphasizing the church's heritage of confessing faith and the ongoing need for elders to oversee the flock and ensure the faithful proclamation of the gospel, ultimately calling for a renewed commitment to understanding and applying the teachings of the Heidelberg Catechism as a vital expression of Christian faith. 1. The Meaning of It 2. The Objections to It 3. Our Calling with Respect to It

The sermon centers on the first petition of the Lord's Prayer—'Hallowed be Your name'—presenting it not as a mere formality but as the foundational and prioritized focus of all Christian prayer. Drawing from Psalm 99, John 17, and the Heidelberg Catechism, it emphasizes that God's name reveals His holiness, glory, and character, and that praying for His name to be hallowed is a request for deeper knowledge, reverence, and alignment of life with His divine nature. The preacher underscores that this petition is not about elevating God's holiness, which is already perfect, but about humbly seeking His revelation so that all of life—thought, word, and deed—may honor Him and reflect His glory. By anchoring prayer in God's supremacy, the sermon shows how this first petition sanctifies every other request, ensuring that even personal needs are brought before God with the ultimate aim of His honor, and it calls believers to live and pray with the eternal vision of God's name being glorified in both this world and the life to come. json

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience (Hebrews 4:11). Genesis 2 opens with the seventh day, where God rests, but not because he was tired. Instead, we get a picture of God finishing creation with a Sabbath that never ends. Sabbath represents a flourishing creation. This is illustrated in Israel's year of Jubilee in which slaves were freed, debts were forgiven, and the land was restored to those God had gifted it to; a nation created to flourish in the lavish abundance of their God. But sin interfered in the beginning, continued to interfere throughout Israel's history and still stains our own lives today. Sin destroys shalom; it brings death where life was intended. Hebrews tells us that God is still at work; at work undoing the evil that is leeching health from us. Jesus pursued this dimension of the Sabbath in his miracles. In Mark 1:21, he frees a man from an evil spirit and gives renewed vigour to the limbs of a paralytic in 2:27. Many of his miracles were performed on the Sabbath, such as the one for a woman “who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, ‘Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.' Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God” (Luke 10:11-13). These were signs that the kingdom of God was here; the Shalom of God was being brought back to the earth; the curse of sin was being undone. Jesus resurrection from the dead marked his victory over evil. The curse was undone; his kingdom was unstoppable. That is why Christians gather for worship on Sundays. We remind each other that Christ is risen. And we celebrate the coming end of evil. The Heidelberg Catechism gives a slight nod to this matter when it says that part of our Sabbath keeping is “to bring Christian offerings for the poor” (A 103). That is why offerings are taken up during worship services. The apostle Paul got this started (Acts 24:17; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Churches are rightly involved in alleviating hunger and rebuilding where infrastructure has been destroyed. Historically, Christians began hospitals. This was all understood as following in the footsteps of Jesus working against evil. Sometimes, I hear Christians tell me that Sundays are family days. That is well and good, but it is not enough. Sundays remind us that Jesus died to end the curse and evil. We are called to be his hands and feet. As you prepare for this weekend, how will you rest, and how will you help others to entire into God's rest? Go with this blessing: Go to Jesus and he will give you rest (Matthew 11:30). May the presence of God go with you and give you rest (Exodus 33:14).

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good (Romans 12:9). Love must be sincere is the theme fleshed out in the rest of this chapter and beyond. The biblical significance of love has eroded so it needs our careful attention. Let's remember that godly love is not an emotion. It is an attitude, a mind-set, an aspect of the renewed mind. We are commanded to love; it is therefore a choice we make, a matter of the will. Without the enabling grace of God, none of us can love in the way the Bible calls us to. Such love is never the product of our human wills. But our wills are involved. The Holy Spirit fosters it within us. It is our job to cooperate with the Spirit in developing a consistent mind-set of love toward others. We must work actively to put love into effect in our relationships. The Christian who nurtures an attitude of love will act in the ways that Paul describes here. Such love acts in accordance with God's good and perfect will (12:2). Discernment is an aspect of this love: hate what is evil; cling to what is good (9b). Ironic, isn't it, that the exhortation to love is followed immediately by a command to hate. But we should not be surprised, for love is not blind sentiment. Rather, love passionately seeks the best for the one loved. Thus, it must hate everything evil that is incompatible with the loved one's highest welfare. Paul's word for ‘hate' suggests a very strong aversion, an abhorrence, a loathing, a vomiting out. Whereas his word for cling, suggests supper glue, a bonding like two pieces of steel welded together. Love must be sincere is the positive version of the command, “do not kill.” The Heidelberg Catechism offers us this explanation of that, “I am not to belittle, insult, hate, or kill my neighbor--not by my thoughts, my words, my look or gesture, and certainly not by actual deeds--and I am not to be party to this in others…By forbidding murder God teaches us that he hates the root of murder: envy, hatred, anger, vindictiveness” (Q 105 & 106). When love encounters what is evil, it refuses to participate, nor does it merely look the other way. Love dares to confront someone doing evil, not to judge or browbeat, but to inspire righteousness. On the other hand, love “clings to what is good.” To repel evil and cling to good, love must know the difference. How can we train ourselves in the ways of love? Anyone who has tried knows its not easy. Like all Christian virtues, prayer and scripture are the beginning. How else will we know God's version of love? We can also get our minds engaged in other ways. How about watching an episode of a favourite Netflix show or a chapter of a favourite novel? Then discern the ways in which the characters practice love or the lack there of. We may find some brilliant nuances of love right among our favourite characters. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May your day end with rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you. May you rest in his provision as he brings night, and then new dawn.

The sermon emphasizes approaching prayer with reverence and trust, drawing from Isaiah 6-13 and Matthew 6:9 within the Heidelberg Catechism's framework. It highlights the importance of addressing God as "Our Father who is in heaven" to cultivate a proper prayerful attitude, reminding listeners to acknowledge God's majesty while simultaneously trusting in his power to meet their needs. The message encourages believers to avoid self-centeredness and instead focus on God's will, recognizing that true prayer involves a deep respect for God's ways and a reliance on his promises, ultimately leading to a life of gratitude and spiritual change.

The sermon explores the nature of temptation and the Christian's responsibility to resist it, drawing heavily from Matthew 4 and the Heidelberg Catechism. It emphasizes that temptation is a deceptive tool employed by the devil to make sin appear appealing and obedience unappealing, highlighting the importance of constant vigilance and prayer to avoid falling prey to its influence. The message underscores God's sovereignty in allowing trials, not to punish, but to cultivate humility and dependence on His grace, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of sin's destructive power and a fervent plea for deliverance from both its guilt and its pervasive influence, ultimately seeking to live a Christ-like life. 1. Temptation and the Devil 2. Temptation and God 3. Temptation and Our Prayers

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of preaching the law, particularly the Tenth Commandment, as a means of revealing our sinful nature and directing us toward Christ. Drawing from Psalm 19 and the Heidelberg Catechism, it argues that while perfect obedience is unattainable in this life, striving for righteousness and acknowledging our shortcomings ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of God's grace and a renewed commitment to seeking forgiveness and renewal through the Holy Spirit, ultimately pointing towards a future state of perfection in Christ.

Christmas in September: A Stumbling Block?

Catchisms are, quite simply, question-and-answer summaries of the faith. For centuries Christians have catechisms to teach the fundamentals of the faith, and to disciple new believers. The Westminster Catechism, the Heidelberg Catechism, Luther's Catechism, and others have been used by Christians since the Reformation. But some so-called “low church” traditions – Baptists, non-denominational evangelical churches, and others – don't have a strong tradition of using catechisms. And even those denominations that have catechisms as part of their tradition – Presbyterians, Anglicans, Lutherans, and others – don't use catechisms as they have in years past. Trevin Wax and Thomas West want to see a resurgence in the use of catechisms, and they've written one that they think can be used by folks who are not used to using the catechisms of the past. They call their new book The Gospel Way Catechism, and it includes 50 basic questions about the Christian faith, provides short direct answers, and then provides a bit of commentary and scripture to help you understand the answer. Trevin Wax is vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board and a visiting professor at Cedarville University. I've had Trevin on the podcast before, and I always find myself nourished by what he has to say. His co-author, Thomas West, is pastor of Nashville First Baptist Church and the founder and former pastor of Redeemer Queen's Park in London. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

The sermon centers on the profound blessing of forgiveness, drawing from Psalm 32 and the Heidelberg Catechism's explanation of the Lord's Prayer. It emphasizes that true happiness and joy stem from recognizing one's status as a poor sinner with an unpayable debt, a debt ultimately satisfied by Christ's sacrifice. The message underscores the importance of both confessing sins and extending forgiveness to others, mirroring God's grace, and highlights that receiving forgiveness requires a firm resolution to forgive, ultimately leading to restored relationships and a deeper understanding of spiritual dependence on God's mercy. 1. For What We Ask 2. The Way We Receive It 3. Our Ability to Ask

The sermon emphasizes contentment as the key to navigating earthly concerns, particularly financial ones, and living in accordance with God's will. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6 and the Heidelberg Catechism, the message cautions against the pursuit of wealth, highlighting that true gain lies in godliness and a stable heart, regardless of outward circumstances. It encourages believers to pray for daily bread, understanding this to encompass all necessary provisions, and to flee the temptations of covetousness, overwork, and a desire for status, ultimately laying hold of eternal life through righteousness, faith, and love. 1. Contentment Felt 2. Contentment Lived 3. Contentment Prayed For

Cody Schwichtenberg is a pastor at First Reformed Church in Herreid, South Dakota, which is part of the Reformed Church in the United States (RCUS) denomination. Raised in Iowa with a Lutheran background, Cody transitioned to the Reformed tradition in his early twenties. He attended Heidelberg Theological Seminary in Sioux Falls, where he delved deeply into biblical and theological studies. Cody has served in his pastoral role since 2015, and he is passionate about teaching and reinforcing the foundational principles of the Reformed faith through the Heidelberg Catechism.Episode Summary:In this enlightening episode of RenewalCast, hosts Coalt Robinson and Jay Wipf engage with Pastor Cody Schwichtenberg to explore the significance of the law and gospel distinction within the Christian faith, particularly focusing on its representation in the Heidelberg Catechism. The discussion aims to clarify the misconceptions surrounding legalism and antinomianism, providing insights into how these issues surface within church teachings. Pastor Cody elucidates how understanding these distinctions can profoundly affect a believer's spiritual journey, offering solace and strength in faith.With the backdrop of historical confessions, the trio delves into how the Heidelberg Catechism structures its teachings around key biblical principles. They explore how these frameworks aid Christians in avoiding the theological pitfalls of legalism, which mistakenly merges law and grace, and antinomianism, which dismisses God's law altogether. Resources:Theocast - A podcast introducing the hosts to the law-gospel distinction."The Whole Christ" by Sinclair Ferguson - A book that influenced Cody's understanding.The Heidelberg Catechism -AN ORTHODOX CATECHISM (1680)

Gen. 3:14–21 Isa. 55 Lk. 24:36–49 Acts 17:16–34 What's the difference between the law and gospel? In this final message in a short summer series, Ben Phelps shows how the law is woven into the nature of things, but the gospel of the Lord Jesus can only be found in the holy Scriptures.

The sermon emphasizes trusting God as the ultimate provider, urging listeners to lay up treasures in heaven rather than accumulating earthly possessions, as true security lies in divine care, not material wealth. Drawing from Matthew 6 and the Heidelberg Catechism, the message cautions against equating blessing with possessions and encourages a life of diligent work, generous giving, and freedom from worry, rooted in the understanding that God's sovereignty and grace are paramount, and that seeking first the kingdom of God will ensure all other needs are met. 1. An Attitude 2. A Life 3. A Carefulness

The sermon explores the implications of the Eighth Commandment, urging listeners to move beyond a superficial understanding of "not stealing" to embrace a broader perspective rooted in gratitude and devotion to Christ. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount and the Heidelberg Catechism, the message emphasizes that true faithfulness involves actively seeking the good of others, working diligently, and prioritizing heavenly treasures over earthly pursuits, recognizing that where one's heart lies, their treasure will follow, ultimately reflecting a life dedicated to serving God and reflecting His grace rather than seeking self-serving gain.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.John 1:1-5THE HOLY SPIRIT IN EZEKIELThe hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley;[a] it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath[b] to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling,[c] and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.Ezekiel 37:1-10THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.

What does it really mean for a Christian to be “anointed”? Join us as we continue our Heidelberg Catechism series, exploring the profound truth of Q31 & Q32 that every believer, by faith, shares in Christ's own anointing. We'll break down this powerful reality—how the Holy Spirit marks, enables, and calls each of us to participate in Jesus' ongoing work as prophet, priest, and king. We find that “anointing” isn't just for a select few, but is the daily and extraordinary gift of God to every follower of Jesus. Learn how belonging to Christ empowers and equips you for service, witness, and hope in a broken world—and how your life, no matter how “ordinary,” carries eternal significance because you are set apart by the Spirit.

Exod. 24:3–8 Prov. 17:15 Matt. 26:26–29 Rom. 6:15–7:6If we are now—because of sin—unable to keep God's law, then why are we still held to that standard? The answer has to do with the justice of God. In this doctrinal sermon, Ben Phelps opens up the concepts of mercy and justice, and how these are manifested in the cross of Jesus Christ.

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Blake and Jack tackle the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” But as they quickly uncover, this commandment isn't just about lying—it's about gossip, slander, exaggeration, and the thousand subtle ways we undermine truth in daily life. Jack opens with a vivid personal illustration of a leaky ceiling and how unchecked deception functions like a drip—slowly saturating and eventually destroying. The conversation moves through scripture, theology (featuring insights from Kevin DeYoung and Thomas Watson), and practical application with the Heidelberg Catechism guiding the way.  

What is Your Only Comfort in Life and Death? What brings you true comfort in a world filled with uncertainty? From the heart of the Reformation to the depths of your soul today, this message unpacks why belonging to Christ is the only comfort that can carry us through anything life—or even death—brings. In this message, we launch a new series on the Heidelberg Catechism by exploring its famous first question: “What is your only comfort in life and in death?” We dig deep into the beautiful, hope-filled answer the catechism gives—one that anchors us in the truth that we are not our own, but belong body and soul, in life and in death, to our faithful Savior Jesus Christ. If you have ever wrestled with anxiety about the future, doubt about your place in God's family, or simply wonder what “comfort” really means in Christ—this message is for you.

Could reclaiming the practice of catechetical preaching be the key to deeper discipleship and richer congregational life today? In this compelling episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Pastor Danny Hyde invites listeners to revisit the timeless wisdom of the catechisms—not just as theological documents, but as vibrant, pastoral tools for shaping hearts and anchoring churches in gospel truth.Danny Hyde serves as pastor of Oceanside United Reformed Church in California and is the author of numerous books, including Welcome to a Reformed Church and Grace Worth Fighting For. A passionate advocate for Reformed theology, Danny shares his journey of learning to preach Christ faithfully from all of Scripture, especially the Old Testament. Much of his early formation came under the mentorship of the late Dr Edmund Clowney, former president of Westminster Theological Seminary. Clowney's Christ-centred hermeneutic and biblical-theological approach continue to shape generations of preachers. In this episode, Danny reflects on the lessons he learned firsthand from Clowney about letting Scripture's redemptive storyline lead us to the person and work of Jesus.The conversation then turns to the catechisms—particularly the Heidelberg Catechism—and why they still matter for preachers and congregations today. Danny explains how catechetical preaching can deepen theological literacy, form congregational identity, and foster gospel clarity in a distracted world. He highlights how the pattern of question and answer is not just pedagogical, but pastoral—echoing the truth of God into the minds and hearts of His people.This episode includes reflections on the importance of confessional identity, pastoral mentorship, and the preacher's task of proclaiming Christ without growing repetitive. You'll also hear a surprising story about how the Heidelberg Catechism once appeared on the shelves of TBN, and how even unlikely partnerships can bear witness to deep truth.Whether you are sceptical about tradition or eager to recover the old paths, Danny Hyde offers a gracious and persuasive vision for preaching that is rooted in Scripture, guided by confession, and centred on Christ.Recommended episodes: Danny's first episode on the show:  https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/long-obedience-in-the-same-location-danny-hydeBryan Chapell's episode :  https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/pulpit-flourish-vs-pastoral-care-with-bryan-chapell Preaching Like a Puritan: https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/preaching-like-a-puritan-pastoral-care-and-problems-with-the-quadriga-roberto-gazga Upcoming Training Event – We're Coming to Florida!Join us in St. Petersburg, Florida for a two-day Expositors Collective training weekend:

What if the crushing weight of modern life isn't a bug in the system but a feature of a false belief? In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Alan Noble to explore his compelling book, You Are Not Your Own. Together, they unpack why our culture's demand to “define yourself” leads to despair, and how belonging to Christ—not ourselves—is the good news we’ve been trained to forget.

A quietly radical episode that reminds us that true freedom isn’t found in self-expression, but in surrender.
