Shepherds under Christ, Saints under Shepherds – Part 2 – Hebrews 13:17
And he reduceth all our Christian duties unto three heads, giving especial instances in each kind. Now, these are such as are, 1. Spiritual, with respect unto God; whereof he gives an instance, verse 15: 2. Moral, with respect unto men of all sorts; an instance whereof, comprehensive of all duties towards others, we have, verse 16: and, 3. Ecclesiastical, in the church-state whereinto we are called by the profession of the gospel; the principal duty whereof is instanced in, […]
Antiquarian Theology: Lessons From Church History – Part 25
From the earliest times we have seen Christian men and women who have been heroic in the keeping of the faith.

Sproul This series of lessons are based off of the Historical […]
Isaiah 26
Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface. He who shall have understood him well will be abundantly prepared for reading the other Prophets. – John Calvin
Outcast to Gratitude – Luke 17:11-19

How Jesus and the Apostles Read Genesis 1-11 and Why it Matters
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? – John 5:46-47

United to Christ in Death and in Life – Romans 6:1-11
Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. – 1 Peter 4:21-22

The Present World and the City to Come – Hebrews 13:14
This world never did, nor ever will, give a state of rest and satisfaction unto believers. It will not afford them a city. It is “Jerusalem above” that is the “vision of peace.” “Arise and depart; this is not your rest.” – John Owen

Bearing His Reproach Outside the Camp – Hebrews 13:13
In these things consist the first general duties of our Christian profession, which we are called and directed unto by his offering himself, and the manner of it, namely, 1. In a separation from all ways of religious worship not appointed by himself. 2. In a relinquishment of all civil and political privileges which are inconsistent with the profession of the gospel. 3. In avowing the wisdom, grace, and power of God in the cross, notwithstanding the reproaches that are […]

The Altar of the New Covenant – Hebrews 13:10-12

The Sufficiency of Grace Against Strange Doctrines – Hebrews 13:9
The Word signifies one that is tossed on the waves of the sea when they are agitated by the wind. And a similitude it is lively expressing both the nature of these strange doctrines, the way of spreading of them, and their effects on the minds of men. In themselves they are light and vain as the wind, or “clouds without water, carried about of winds.” And those who would impose them on others commonly do it with a great […]

Remembering the Messengers; Resting In the Master – Hebrews 13:7-8
This, therefore, is our best, this is our only way of remembering them who have been our guides, leaders, and rulers, in the church, whether they have been apostles, or evangelists, or ordinary pastors, namely, to follow them in their faith and conversation. And, this ought to be the care of the guides of the church, namely, to leave such an example of faith and holiness, as that it may be the duty of the church to remember them, and […]

The Art of Christian Contentment – Hebrews 13:5-6
A vice this is which, by its effects, manifests itself always to be contrary to the light of nature, as debasing the minds of men, making them useless, and exposing them to all manner of vile practices. Hence it was always stigmatized by sober heathens, as one of the vilest affections of the minds of men. And there is nothing which the Scripture doth more severely condemn, nor denounce more inevitable punishment unto. Two places in our apostle may suffice […]

Marriage: Its Privileges and Its Corruptions – Hebrews 13:4
The writings of all sorts of wise men, philosophers, lawyers, and Christian divines, have elegantly expressed these things. I shall only say, that as the legitimate and orderly continuation of the race of mankind depends hereon, and proceeds from it, so whatever is of virtue, honour, comeliness or order, amongst men; whatever is praiseworthy and useful in all societies, economical, ecclesiastical, or political, it depends hereon, and hath regard hereunto. To all unto whom children are dear, relations useful, inheritances […]

Love Applied: Strangers and Sufferers – Hebrews 13:2-3
This is the second branch of the duty of brotherly love, enjoined in the first verse: the first concerned strangers; this concerns sufferers. And because strangers are unknown as unto their persons, before the exercise of the duty of love towards them, the injunction respects the duty in the first place, “Forget not the duty of entertaining strangers.” But sufferers were known, and therefore the immediate object of the command is their persons: “Be mindful of them that are bound, […]

Two Men Came To Worship – Luke 18:9-14
Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.” – Isaiah 66:1-2
The Protestant Worship of God in America Conference – Session 5 – The Church at the Cross

This conference will provide an overview of these challenges and how the Church has and continues to overcome them and cling to Truth. The last session of the conference is a call to humbly return to the Cross, acknowledge sin, […]

At once justified & sinful; or, combating the doctrine of Perfectionism influencing the American Church.
