Introduction Last week we were thinking of the sacraments in general. And so, we were reminded that we believe there are only two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

WSC 091–093 The Sacraments
Introduction We're still working our way through our church's Shorter Catechism. The first main part of the Catechism concerns what we're to believe about God. And so it teaches us that there's only one God. But that one God is a Trinity of Three Persons: There's the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. One … Continue reading WSC 091–093 The Sacraments
WSC 089–090 The Word of God

1 John 2(03–11)
Introduction Do you remember last week's passage? John was responding to three false claims which certain people were making about sin. The first false claim that some people were making was that sin doesn't matter. I can have a relationship with God and keeping on sinning, because sin doesn't matter. The second false claim that … Continue reading 1 John 2(03–11)
Galatians 03(01–14)
Introduction Paul has been writing to the Galatians to contend for the truth of the gospel which he had preached to the Galatians.

Galatians 01(11)–02(21)
Introduction Normally when we're studying one of the New Testament letters, we have to go at a fairly slow pace. We normally study only a few verses at a time, because the writers pack so much in to each verse; and every sentence is filled with things we need to know. For instance, we've spent … Continue reading Galatians 01(11)–02(21)
Galatians 01(06–10)

You can read in Acts 13 and 14 what happened when Paul visited those cities and how he preached the good news that sinners are justified through … Continue reading Galatians 01(06–10)
Galatians 01(01–05)
Introduction Today we're beginning a new series of sermons on Paul's letter to the Galatians. All of God's word is important, because it is God's word which we're to receive and believe and obey. However, Paul's letter to the Galatians is particularly important, because in it Paul was engaging in a battle for the gospel. … Continue reading Galatians 01(01–05)
