Trinity Reformed Baptist Church: Recent Episodes
Don Lindblad, Stefan Lindblad
The sermon examines Titus 2:2 to outline the virtues expected of older men in the church, emphasizing that healthy doctrine must drive healthy behavior. It details specific outward qualities such as temperance, gravity, and sobriety, alongside inward graces like faith, love, and patience. The speaker argues that these characteristics serve to authenticate Christianity, adorn the believer's life, and influence younger generations. Rather than retreating into retirement, older men are called to spiritual maturity and active endurance in their later years. The message concludes with a call to finish well by aligning one's conduct with biblical truth and eternal hope.
A reading of the sermon "Little Faith" from the book "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount" by D. Martyn LLoyd-Jones.
The sermon explores the concept of surety, contrasting worldly sureties with the ultimate surety of Christ, drawing heavily from Hebrews chapter 7 and Psalm 110. It examines Melchizedek as a figure foreshadowing Christ's role as a priest after the order of Melchizedek, emphasizing that Christ's surety is not merely a guarantee but a complete substitution, bearing the full weight of humanity's debt. The preacher highlights the security and assurance believers find in Christ's work, asserting that His surety provides a foundation for unwavering faith and hope, secured by God's oath and manifested through Christ's sacrifice and ongoing intercession.
Please note that the sermon was interrupted by a fire alarm which is not included in the recording.
