Sermons

The Word of God faithfully preached to the Church is one of the most essential aspects of Christian discipleship. Through preaching every saint is equipped and trained for ministry as disciple-making disciples.

This is one reason preaching is the central element of our Lord’s Day worship.

One of the best ways to know what we believe is by listening to what is regularly preached.

Circumcision, Regeneration, & Credobaptism

This Sunday we jump back into Genesis 17 to consider seven crucial implications concerning the relationship between circumcision with regeneration and baptism in the New Covenant. 1) Circumcision Anticipated Regeneration, 2) the New Covenant consists of only the regenerate, 3) New Covenant members are identified by baptism, 4) Baptism is only for those with credible professions, 5) if you profess, be baptized, 6) If you’re baptized, join a local church, and 7) if you’re baptized, share in the covenant meal.

The Covenant Sign of Circumcision

In Genesis 17, as a formal way to mark off God’s covenant people from the world, God gives Abraham the covenant sign of circumcision. Circumcision positively symbolizes the removal of sin and consecration to God and negatively a threat of judgement and disinheritance. In the New Covenant God also has marked off the church from the world as his new covenant people. It is our responsiblity to help one another be who God has called us to be. In this sermon we walk through this narrative in four parts: 1) God’s covenant-promises (1-8), 2) God’s covenant-stipulation (9-14), 3) God’s covenant-son (15-21), 4) Abraham’s covenant-obedience (23-27).

The Abrahamic Covenant

Today we jumped back into our Genesis series. In Genesis 15, God formalizes his covenant through a covenant ceremony, specifically through covenant sanctions. God’s covenant with Abraham doesn’t come together all at once but rather over the course of several chapters. Genesis 12: the initiation of the covenant through promises, Genesis 15: the formalization of the covenant through ceremony, Genesis 17: the signification of the covenant through circumcision. Genesis 15 can be broken down into two major guarantees: 1) God guarantees the promised seed (1-6) and 2) God guarantees the promised land (7-21).

The Covenantal Love of God for Abraham

As we begin the new year, we return to our Genesis series. There is no more important resolve to make in 2025 than to commit to growing more and more in the love of God. In Genesis 12 we find the covenantal-love of God demonstrated towards Abraham in three specific ways: 1) the Call of Abraham, 2) the Faith of Abraham, and 3) the Folly Abraham.
