While we are working through Luke in our service, today we used a harmony of the cross account. It does not include every single verse on the dark hours on the cross, but includes portions from each of the other gospels that will help our consideration of the cross.
This track is longer than the sermon, my apologies for not turning if off after the sermon.
Note: the pastor mentions a childlike faith has an implicit trust in the parent (or spiritually, in God). This is distinct from the Catholic doctrine of implicit faith, which teaches one must accept the teaching of the Catholic Church without question. To have faith in our Heavenly Father, without the full knowledge to express why, is the focus of this passage. Such will then grow as the Holy Spirit works in our understanding over time. To be saved, one must have faith... not a degree in doctrine.
Our Maundy Thursday text this year is John 14:1-11, with a message titled, "Let not your hearts be troubled."
The pastor would like to clarify something he said in the sermon. 1. The primary focus of "lost" is those who have not yet been saved. 2. The parable leaves us with the question of whether the Pharisees are saved. 3. The believer who has strayed into sin and backslidden, although they may have been saved, nonetheless should cry out the same as the one who has never done so before, and should also expect Christ to seek and restore, even as He has before.
The first 5 minutes of the sermon have been trimmed off, due to faulty audio. We hope the remainder of the sermon is a blessing to you.
The sermon file cuts off just a few minutes from the end of the sermon, but you can hear the majority of it here.
This is the first sermon on baptism in our catechism series. --Please note that Pastor Nathan misspoke when he spoke of the word used in Ezekiel 36-25. He apologizes. The beginning of the next sermon will include an explanation-apology for this, but we want you to be aware as you listen to this message.
I apologize for the echo in the background. We will seek to remedy this before next week.
Pastor Jason Beamon of Green River Bible Church in Greenfield, MA, brings us a timely message from the book of Jude.
