On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

ROM # 65 The Body & Its Members ROM 12 vs 4-8 1:45:38

منذ 10 أيام1:45:38

1:45:38

Today's Gospel instalment: 07-20-2025 Text: Romans 12 vs 4-8 and 1Cor 12 vs 13-27 Sermon Title (s): . The body & its members 1. We continue with Pauline's teaching of the church and its organization. 2. And when we step into these areas we must do so with the gospel light. 3. Definitions must be made of things. Fundamentally, what is the gospel and by extension-what is not the gospel? 4. The gospel is what saved the sinner from God's wrath and that by what Christ did alone. 5. But in this, Jesus purchased a church, a community of people-who are justified and righteous, but sinners in practice. 6. If you think you are not a sinner in practice then you are still deceived with respect to righteousness. 7 However, Paul taught on the commands, instructions to help guide the church to work effectively and correctly for the sake of Christ. 8. And we will continue to mix and blend the indicatives (what is got you saved and is true about you in Christ) and the imperatives (the table manners of all the redeemed." So many wonderful things to glean, but you must listen to the end..…

Rom # 64 One Body in Christ Rom 12: 4-8 1:49:53

منذ 17 يومًا1:49:53

1:49:53

Gospel instalment: 07-13-2025 Sermon Title: 1. One body in Christ, 2. Unity in Diversity Text Romans 8 vs 4-8 1. Paul is slightly changing gears from Rom 12 to 16. Now, he discusses how the body of Christ ought to relate to the gospel. 2. And so, we enter the imperatives/instructions sections of the teaching. 3. And these things are needful because God commands them of His church. 4. But in doing so, we must be careful to delineate what things makes for salvation and what things are for the redeemed to do because THEY ARE SAVED . 5. Salvation is by grace alone (Unchangeable). But the instructions are NECESSARY for the body of Christ to function in the way that He deemed it. 6. So, Paul is going to keep working on the gifts as necessary for service in the body. And he will argue that the body is comprised of many different members and borrowing from human anatomy he instructs the church is a body and functions similarly.…

ROM # 63 Conduct in Humility Rom 12: 1-5 1:49:41

منذ 24 يومًا1:49:41

1:49:41

Gospel instalment: 07-06-2025 Sermon Title: 1. Conduct in humility Text: Romans 12 1. Apostle Paul has thus far labored to teach God's way of making a sinner righteous. 2. And it is not of works or law obedience, but of grace alone. 3. And the same God has gathered a community of the redeemed-the church, the body of Christ. 4. And He has issued instructions on how it ought to function for His sake. 5. So, Apostle Paul now goes into the commands, imperatives, instructions, exhortations of his teaching to help guide the church in its conduct. 6. And we have followed the same pattern in the presentation of the gospel, that we do not teach imperatives apart from the gospel. 7. Why? because many have turned the imperatives into the gospel or means to establish another righteousness for themselves. 8. So, there are many things to say, things to qualify to get this right. And whilst at this, the imperatives of the New Covenant are NOT the Law of Moses. Many things to glean...The sermon emphasizes the importance of understanding the gospel as the foundation for Christian living, arguing that imperatives—commands or exhortations—are not the basis for salvation but rather flow from it. It highlights the necessity of renewing the mind with gospel truth to properly interpret and apply these commands, which are intended to guide the church in conducting itself with humility and purpose within a world often driven by vanity and unbelief. Ultimately, the message underscores that true Christian conduct stems from a recognition of God's grace and a desire to reflect His character, fostering a functioning community rooted in the gospel and distinct from worldly patterns.…

BSGCC # 163 Aaron's Vindication Numbers 17 1:48:30

منذ 4 weeks1:48:30

1:48:30

Title: Aaron's Vindication Text: Numbers 17 1. God is in the business of preaching Christ Jesus. 2. Israel is in the wilderness and there had been a rebellion against His rule and order through Moses and Aaron. 3. But He is sovereign, so they did not cause the insurrection. The insurrection was for God to preach the need of a mediator who stands between life and death. 4. And so, God's judgment came and people died and more were to die. 5. However, there was intercession by way of Aaron that stopped the plague. 6. And this intercession was typological of the intercession of Christ that separated condemnation from justification. 7. But there are serious theological implications to the meaning of these things. God means to teach us that Christ Jesus is His appointed person to cause your salvation. 8. And any attempt to help Him always leads to death-your death. And God sought to vindicate His choice of Christ through Aaron. Many gospel nuggets to glean and they are FREE!…

Today's gospel installment: 06-01-2025 Today's Gospel Installment: 06/01/2025 Sermon Title (s): 1. The Korah Rebellion, 2. He stood between the dead and the living. Text: Numbers 16 1. We get to the story of Israel sometime after their exodus and wandering in the wilderness of the desert. 2. And the LORD sought to preach another sermon of our need of redemption through the rebellion of Korah. 3. Israel was always a rebellious people despite experiencing the presence of God in their midst. 4. But the Lord would with the Korah rebellion preach many wonderful gospel truths of the spiritual condition of men and women that to say we are nature rebels without a cause and naturally in trouble. 5. And that rebellion brings about God's wrath and judgment. 6. And God's wrath demands propitiation if the plague must be removed. 7. This is wonderful message and I pray the LORD will give you spiritual ears to hear and understand it. AND IT IS FREE!…

منذ 9 weeks1:38:19

1:38:19

Today's Gospel installment: 05/25/2025 Title: How much more Text: Luke 12 vs 22-34 1. The Lord was a gospel preacher and one has to use a gospel mind to properly read His words. 2. In this section of Luke he spoke to the matter of what is important. 3. And in the life of the world, riches is what is on people's hearts and minds and unfortunately it does not end there. 4. Many falsely or mistakenly associate earthly riches with Divine favor and salvation. 5. And the Lord Jesus came to straighten things out and said, you have your priorities ALL WRONG. 6. First, you have no power to cause anything. Secondly, God knows exactly all that you need and will see to it, so prioritize God because the very things that you are anxious about cannot save you and guess what, that IS WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS CHASING AFTER? 7. Will expand on this and other related matters and IT IS FREE!…

BSGCC # 160 The Widow's Offering Luke 21 vs 1-4 1:47:52

منذ 12 weeks1:47:52

1:47:52

Today's gospel installment: 05-04-2025 Message Title: The Widow's Offering 1. We come to yet another very popular story about giving. 2. And it has unfortunately been used by many to extort money from poor people. 3. But what was this story about? Was it about our giving to God, the nature or spirit of our giving or what is it about something else? 4. Why did Jesus commend the poor widow for her giving? 5. Why did Jesus say, she had given more than all? 6. These stories cannot understood apart from the testimony of the gospel. 7. And that means without a gospel centered, Christ centered hermeneutic there is no way to arrive at the truth that God intended by them. THIS is a wonderful gospel testimony and it is free!…

منذ 13 weeks1:55:27

1:55:27

Today's Gospel installment: 04-27-2025 Message Title: 1. Zacchaeus come down, 2. Of Short Stature Text: Luke 19 vs 1-10 1. We go into the very famous story of Zacchaeus which also has had many traditions of salvation built around it. 2. IT is a story like the Good Samaritan than many think they know about, but don't know about. They don't know what the Good Samaritan was preaching about, as popular as it is. 3. With Zacchaeus there are a lot of connections that need to be made with Lord's teaching in the previous chapter of Luke 18. 4. Everything said, what are the qualifications of those that inherit the kingdom? 5. What are the issues that face one born of a woman as God sees them? 6. What is God's proposed solution to dealing with you as a sinner? ALL THESE and more are answered in the story of Zaccheus. 7. THIS IS A MOST WONDERFUL MESSAGE, but you must have the DISCIPLINE to follow the whole message to get the gospel pieces. 8. Also, with every message ASK THE LORD TO GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING and INTEREST in the things that relate to CHRIST JESUS. IT IS FREE!…

منذ 14 weeks2:21:22

2:21:22

Text: Leviticus 21 & 22 Message Title(s): 1. The Law and Christ, 2. Acceptable offerings 1. To understand the Law we must understand the gospel. 2. The gospel is not Law and the Law is not the gospel. 3. The Law had its function and testimony with respect to the sinner. And it was to bring Woe and Hopelessness. 4. But the Law also had a different relationship to the Lord Jesus, since He was God and sinless man. 5. First, the Law testified of Him in all its writings. 6. But it also had a function to test His fitness for His work. 7. This is a long message with a lot of teaching and glorious and it ends in the RESURRECTION OF THE LORD. AND IT IS FREE!…

Today's Gospel installment: 04/13/2025 Sermon Title(s): 1.The death of Saul, 2..The end of the Law Text: 1Sam 31 1..We will explore the testimony of Saul to see what he represented in the gospel testimony. 2.God cannot devote coverage of a person's life and record it in the Bible just so that we can come and do a character assassination of that person in moralistic teaching.. 3..If David was an eminent type of Christ, then Saul was an eminent type of the Law.. The Law is a companion to the telling and revelation of Christ, for it testified of Him.. 4..But Saul must die, his reign must end, but as a gospel testimony.. 5..David and Saul cannot both be on the throne, one has to give way to the other.. The superior one will remain.. 6..But we must show how Saul was a picture of the Law and everything that God was teaching through him.. And this we will do, if you would listen to the message. 7..AND IT IS FREE!…

1:54:51

Today's gospel instalment: 03/30/2025 Title: 1. The Intercession of Abigail, 2. Abigail met David's requirements Text: 1 Sam 25 1. The story of David, Nabal and Abigail is a gospel testimony. 2. And it is a continuing story of Christ through these characters. 3. All of them carried gospel themes in their characters that must be understood, otherwise we will only be left with character assasinations and moralisms. 4. We explore the whole chapter and show what each stood for in the testimony of the gospel. 5. And Abigail is much more than what many think they understood about her. And this is because they never used a gospel centered, Christ centered hermeneutic to define the characters. 6. And a gospel centered hermeneutic is the ONLY PROFITABLE way to read the scriptures because they testify of Christ and make one wise according to salvation. 7.

It is a salvation story... 8..So many nuggets to glean and they are free. A BEREAN Gospel message!…

منذ 19 weeks1:47:37

1:47:37

Today's gospel installment: 03/16/2025 Sermon Title: The Rock of Escape Text: 1 Samuel 23 1. We continue to explore the gospel testimony in the life of David and King Saul. 2. David seems to ever be in trouble from the king. The king wants him dead at all cost. And there are gospel themes and dimensions to this seeming endless hatred and determination. 3. But the matters cannot be understood apart from casting them in the mold of Christ Jesus. In other words, Christ Jesus is He who gives understanding of what God was preaching in these stories. 4. Previously, in 1Sam 22 David and his people had sought refuge at the Cave of Adullam, a matter that we explored in the previous message, but they had to leave again. 5. God gave David victory over the Philistines and delivered the people of Keilah, a territory of Judah. 6. But the Keilites and the Ziphites sold out David to Saul. David was being betrayed left, right and center in keeping with the testimony of the Lord Jesus. 7. But in Saul's pursuit, David and his men found themselves surrounded by the men of Saul in the desert of Maon. 8. And it is here that God worked a way of escape for David and his men and the place was called Sela Hammalekoth, the rock of escape. 9. We develop the story and connect the gospel points. AND IT IS FREE!…

We continue with the discovery of the testimony of Christ, the redemptive story through the life of David and Saul. 2..In our story we will find David at the Cave of Adullam having run away from the Philistines because of Achish, the king of the Philistines who despised him and said this mad man couldn't come into his house . 3..David had feigned madness and that as a testimony of the foolishness of the cross/of Christ. 4..Now he sought refuge at the cave, he and his people.. And this is opens for us a tonne of gospel nuggets to explore. 5.. But as he is at the cave, Saul was enraged and frustrated at what he deemed as treachery by David, Jonathan and his own people. 6.In anger, Saul went to the City of Priests, Nob, and commanded that all the priests be killed. 7.And we will park here again to explore a lot of gospel testimony.. 8. We will end with David's words to Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech the high priest who had escaped the slaughter of the priests and joined David.. Another gospel testimony to explore.

1:47:14

Today's Gospel installment:02-23-2025 Message Title: 1. Outside the camp Text: Leviticus 24 vs 10-16 1. The story of the Lord Jesus is written everywhere, both in general and special revelation. 2. God wrote the story of the Lord Jesus in many types and shadows. 3. And many of the types do not seem to speak of Him, but they do. The problem is that people do not see the Lord Jesus Christ because they have a cleaned up image of Him, that is, an image of Christ that has no OFFENSE. 4. In this story we are told about a certain son of an Egyptian, but whose mother was an Israelite. 5. This son blasphemed and cursed God and got in serious trouble. 6. God prescribed to Israel through Moses, what was to be done to such. 7. And we picked up the story to show that this was a gospel testimony. 8. If it is not about Christ then it is NOT WORTH Preaching. 9. It is a Berean gospel and IT IS FREE!…

David escapes to Gath, Philistines territory where Achish was the king. 5. David was afraid when he was recognized by the servants of the king and so he feigned madness. 6.

2:10:23

Today's Gospel instalment : 01/19/2025 Sermon Title: Absent from the king's table Text: 1 Samul 20 1. The running battles between David and Saul continued, but for a gospel testimony. 2. And Jonathan, the son of Saul the king of Israel also comes into the mix of the gospel testimony. 3. Many for a lack of a gospel hermeneutic will seek to find if Saul and Jonathan were saved and in the process lose sight of what God was preaching. 4. Saul, Jonathan and David were all gospel testimonies that wore different hats of the gospel. 5. Since there is no single person who could fulfill all the gospel types, in the OT the testimonies were spread out among different people. And so you will see Saul carrying more than one type as God the Father and of the Law. 6. And we shall see this layering too with Jonathan and his relationship with David, which the untaught have horribly misconstrued to be a gay relationship with David. 7. But I did not learn Christ that way, Jonathan and David represent a developing gospel testimony that will continue to unfold in their story. 8. So, we will explore the details. And typology is very fluid, but it must be GROUNDED IN NEW TESTAMENT GOSPEL TESTIMONY. IT MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH TRUTH AND REASON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. And this is FREE!…

Sermon Title(s): 1. Two gospels 2. The Mariner's gospel, 3. Jonah's Gospel Text: Jonah 1 1. This message was preached at New Christian life in Lebanon Tennessee. 2. The gospel arguments remain consistent in every book and story of the bible. 3. The bible is not about the characters that were recorded in it. Many stumble at the gospel because they tend to be fixated with the characters and miss the point. 4. Thus, Jonah is not about how we should not disobey God by going to our own version of Tarshish. 5. This is in being UNSKILLED in the word of God. The story is not about Jonah even. It is a testimony of the Lord Jesus. 6. Tarshish was not a detour to Nineveh. IT was the way God wanted Jonah to go to Nineveh for the sake of developing the testimony of Christ. 7. There are two "gospels" that are presented in this wonderful story. One according to the Mariners and the other according to Jonah. And you must listen to hear what those are. 8. Also, there is very high sovereignty presented in this message, and everything considered, THIS IS A VERY TOP GOSPEL MESSAGE. And IT IS FREE…

منذ 34 weeks1:49:05

1:49:05

Sermon Title(s): 1. Mold in the house, 2. Purification of a diseased house 1. The Old Testament is replete with wonderful gospel testimonies. 2. In Leviticus 14, the LORD GOD gave instruction and taught on how a house that had been plagued by mold would be made habitable-made clean. 3. And this of course not to teach about handling Covid type pandemics, but to preach the matter of sin and its purification. 4. And when you pay attention to the text, you will see most of the doctrines of salvation presented. 5. The message presents the problem-a molded house and the solution to remedy it. 6. And God's solution always had the mediation of the Priest and the shedding of blood and that tells you this is all about the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's ultimate Priest in the purification of the sinner. 7.

Message Title (s): 1. A partial hardening, 2. God's gifts and calling irrevocable. 1. Paul continued to explain the mystery behind Israel's unbelief. 2. He said it is more than what meets the naked eye. God is working something, thus their unbelief is God driven, but with a purpose. 3. The purpose is bring in all the gentiles and then the elect from among national ethnic Israel. He says, do not be ignorant of this mystery lest you get conceited. 4. And I surmise that the reasoning behind this staggard approach is so that the Jew and Gentile elect would only boast in the cross of Christ. 5. But there is more to all these details. 1. Romans 11:25 (NKJV), For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 2. Romans 11:28-30 (NKJV) 28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,…

Today's Gospel installment 10/27/24 Text: Romans 11 vs 9-24 Title: Don't be ignorant of God's MYSTERY. 1..Paul had labored from Romans 9 to explain what was happening with the apparent prevailing unbelief in Israel. 2..In Romans 9 he explained that it was because of election, that is, not all who descended FROM Abraham were necessarily God's chosen people. 3..He argued that this was always God's intention according to His PREDESTINED sovereign will in both election and reprobation(POWER AND FREEDOM of the POTTER) .. 4..And in Romans 10, he had shown that Israel despite its zeal had not submitted to God's righteousness.. 5..And the reason being that they WERE IGNORANT of GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.. 6.So, they had pursued righteousness as if it was of works and had stumbled at the STUMBLING STONE, the Lord Jesus. 7..And in Romans 11, Paul is going to continue with the arguments, to show that what was happening in Israel was MULTILAYERED. 8..And this multilayeredness of the DIVINE PURPOSE NEEDS TO BE KNOWN(UNPACKED) AND UNDERSTOOD because it is part of God's design.. 9.And Paul is going to take a minute to rebuke Gentile believers for their apparent haughtiness towards Israel and reminded them how God grafted them in as the wild olives.. 10..Lots of weaving of arguments and it is a BEREAN GOSPEL MESSAGE.

Paul continued to labor the matter of the why of Israel's rejection of the gospel. 2. He asked if God's purpose had failed, that is, if God had cast away His people? 3. And he answered and said no, God cannot fail. But that was not saying, all ethnic Israel belonged to God. 4. Rather Paul argued that there was more happening than met the eye. There was election in the background, even among the people of Israel. 5. And Paul himself was an Israelite, but who had been saved, showing that God had not forsaken His people. 6. But His people are those who were chosen by Him according to grace. 7. There was a remnant in Israel according to grace as there was a remnant in the time of Elijah the prophet and in every generation. 8.

ROM # 58 Faith cometh by hearing ROM 10: 14-21 1:54:10

1:54:10

1. Romans 10:14-21 (NKJV): Emphasizes the necessity of a preacher for people to hear and believe in Christ. 2. Highlights the importance of faith, which comes from hearing the word of God. But there is more qualification needed to remain truthful about the role of faith. 3. Paul Discusses Israel's rejection of the gospel despite being exposed to it. 4. Righteousness of the Law vs. Righteousness of Faith: The righteousness of the Law is based on human works and perfection, which is impossible for sinners. 5. The righteousness of faith is given freely through Christ's obedience, not by human efforts. Salvation by grace cannot be mixed with works of the Law. 6. Paul's Argument on Salvation: Salvation is not attained by personal efforts or obedience to the Law but by God's grace through Christ and faith not as causing salvation, but as evidence of possession. 7. Faith is not something individuals can generate on their own; it is a gift from God, facilitated by hearing the gospel. 8. Obedience and Rejection of the Gospel: Not all obeyed the gospel, as Isaiah prophesied. Israel's disobedience and reliance on their own righteousness caused them to stumble. 9. Gentiles who were not seeking God found Him, while Israel, who pursued the Law, failed to achieve righteousness. 10. The Role of Preachers: Preachers are essential for spreading the gospel, but preaching itself does not cause salvation; only God can save. Christ was the first preacher, sent by God to declare the message of salvation. 11. Grace vs. Law: The gospel is a message of grace, not works. Attempting to earn salvation by works leads to failure.

منذ 42 weeks1:42:33

1:42:33

Gospel instalment: 10-05-2024 Sermon Title: The Word of faith Text: Romans 10: 5-16 Sermon is an exposition on Romans 10:5-16 that contrasts the "righteousness of the law" with the "righteousness of faith." Key themes include: Righteousness by the Law: Citing Moses (Leviticus 18:5), Paul explains that adherence to the law requires perfect obedience, which is unattainable by human effort. This leads to condemnation, as seen in Deuteronomy 27:26—any failure under the law brings a curse. Righteousness of Faith: The "righteousness of faith," as preached by Paul, is not earned by human effort but is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 outlines that confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart that Jesus is Lord brings salvation. This belief is based on Christ's completed work—His death and resurrection—without the sinner needing to fulfill the law by themselves. Imputed Righteousness: Imputed righteousness is what agrees with God's righteousness and is what is meant by the righteousness of faith—and it is a concept where Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, not through their works but by grace. Salvation comes through the sufficiency of Christ's obedience, not human merit. Paul's Argument: Paul continued his lamentation over the Jews' unbelief. They pursued righteousness through the law, failing to see that righteousness comes through faith in Christ. Paul's sorrow stems from their ignorance of God's true righteousness, which was foretold by the Law and the Prophets. Preaching and Faith: The necessity of preaching the gospel is highlighted, And this is FREE!…

Today's gospel instalment: 09/29/24 Sermon Title: Christ the end of the Law 1. Many claim to believe the name of the sermon title, but who do not know what it means. 2. So, they will say, yes Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness, but we still have to be under the Law for honoring God etc. And they will have a few verses and some rationalization to try and bring Moses back in that regard. 3.But that is not understanding the matter correctly in the gospel sense. 4. By God's grace we must understand the function of the Law, that is, why was the Law given. 5. And God gave many reasons to that question of the function/purpose of the Law. 6. But He said, the Law was the ministry of death and condemnation and Christ brought an end to it for the elect. 7. The redeemed cannot be under two ministries, One of death and the other of life. That is a denial of God's testimony. We will speak to this and more and it is free!…

Text: Romans 9 vs 14-23 1..God's offense in Romans 9 continues unabated.. 2..Who makes the difference between saved and unsaved? 3..Many in the professing church world would argue and say, it is their decision that made the difference for them.. 4..And this saying, they were able to figure out Jesus by themselves and made the vote that changed the course of their destiny, which thing other people failed to do.. 5..And this of course is false... God is going to continue His defense and say, He alone is the Potter who made the determination of salvation and condemnation by fashioning from the same lump of clay vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor.. 6..Same lump of clay is a carryover from the earlier argument about Jacob and Esau being twins, from the same womb and father.. And that saying, the DIFFERENCE MAKER in this matter is God's sovereign will and purpose, not what man do or don't do.. 7..And that means, none can change themselves from being a vessel of dishonor to becoming a vessel of honor or vice versa (Wheat remains wheat and tares, tares as goats remain goats and never become sheep) .. God eternally cast this matter in stone, hence the objections... 7..So, if that is what He did and left man no choice, why does He still find fault? 8..Very goood question, but God answers it with a rebuke..

And through the rejection of the gospel by the Jews God set to declare WHY ultimately a person is saved or why they reject the gospel.. 4..Many in our day, unfortunately even in the professed reformed and sovereign grace circles exert effort to blame the sinner in this matter... But to stop there is clearly to remove the offense of Romans 9 teaching, and ultimately to preach another God, Jesus and gospel.. 5..In Romans 9, God sets Himself as the ONLY ULTIMATE CAUSE of whether one is saved or not saved.. 6..And He puts forth the naked offense that the reprobate is not so because of their behavior, poor or bad upbringing.. It is NOT EVEN A FACTOR IN HIS DETERMINATION.. 7..THIS in the language of Romans 9, happened before they had done neither good nor evil that His purpose in election would stand.. 8..And the objections that were raised implied the presumed hearer had understood the points of argument.. 9..And the questions to be raised in objection are: If God reprobates and condemns for ultimately nothing wrong that a person did and had no power to change, also seeing that God had the ability to save all, why then does He still find fault? 10..And if He does that, does that mean He is unrighteous as some will conclude? 11..Well, God answer…

Who made you pregnant? 1. 2 messages were preached from the Old Testament on this day: Jacob and Esau and then Judah and Tamar. 2. And we continued with our gospel themes of what makes a sinner righteous before God. 3. How a sinner is made or declared to be righteous by or before God is the whole matter for which Christ was revealed. 4. And God had been laboring to teach the simplicity and truth of this matter from the Old Testament stories. 5. And in the story of Judah and Tamar, a seemingly EARTHY STORY that is embarrassing to many by reason of their own sense of righteousness, God was declaring the story and manner of our redemption (justification). 6. The story answers many things that a sinner is faced with (fruitfulness towards God and their justification), but in a very straight forward way and yet hidden from the wise and the prudent. 7. How did Tamar escape the condemnation of her father-in-law, Judah? If we can answer that from the story, then we have answered our own problems before God, because that was God's way of salvation. I will say it again, conditionalism is rife in much of what passes for sovereign grace gospel. 8. But God will only recognize such things for salvation as He gave, not what we bring to Him, our faith or works of obedience. 9. Listen carefully and this will be a blessing and IT IS FREE!…

The hands of Esau, 4. God's way of salvation. 1. We continued with our gospel testimony and this time from the Old Testament story of Jacob and Esau. 2. And this is a most wonderful story that illustrates God's way of salvation. 3. And with as much conditionalism as abounds in what passes for gospel in many places, the LORD GOD, set forth His way of justifying a sinner. 4. In the story of Jacob and Esau, we see the sinner identified and how they would enter into their Father's blessing. 5. And this is gospel preaching from types and shadows-the Berean gospel. Thus, one needs to have a proper understanding of the gospel fundamentals otherwise they will make a big mess of these stories in moralistic teaching as many are apt to do. 6. The woman or man born of a woman only has one pressing issue. And it is their justification. In other words, how shall they be accepted by a holy and righteous God? 7. And if this matter is not asked and answered according to how God has declared it, then there IS NO GOSPEL BEING PREACHED OR BELIEVED and we can only await to hear Jesus say, " depart from Me, you lawless ones, I never knew you." 8.

This was our 3rd gospel installment preached in Kenya 2024 in the morning session. 2. And we continued to declare and hammer God's way of salvation with the story of the woman caught in adultery. 3. Many think it is about the loose women and how we ought to disciple out of it and miss the gospel testimony that they are the very WOMAN CAUGHT IN Adultery-in the VERY ACT. 4. And ultimately the woman represented the church of Christ which was caught in sin. 5. But what did Jesus have to say about the matter of such as belong to Him? 6. And what Jesus says is WHAT MATTERS ABOVE ALL ELSE. But did Jesus condemn the woman though she was caught in the very act? 7. Imagine being caught in adultery, in the very act, in our days of churchianity and the condemnation that ensues! 8. And man, and women will give their many self-righteous reasons as to why such a person should be condemned, not realizing that they are no better-as Jesus would say to the crowd, "let him who has no sin cast the first stone." 9. But in this story God is/was presenting the superiority of grace over Law, of Christ over Moses. 10.

Text: Ephesians 1 vs 1-15 Date: 07/09/2024 1. The professing church is not preaching God's gospel. 2. It has come up with its own concoctions: put the name of Jesus and grace into it, but deny the fundamentals of what makes the gospel, the gospel. 3. The Blessed Apostle Paul was writing to the Ephesian saints and he greeted them this way, "Ephesians 1:1-2 (NKJV),1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." 4. And to understand the message, one must have some appreciation of Ephesus. It was not the most righteous or golgly city in the world.. Remember the Temple of Dianna, the Goddess, the Queen of heaven was there and idolatry ruled the place? 5. Yes, those people who were sooo opposed to Paul and yet when he writes, Paul said, to the saints who are in Ephesus, who are faithful in Christ… WHAT? 6. How were there to be found saints in Ephesus? Because if that can be answered according to God's way, then we are confident to find saints who are faithful in Christ anywhere. 7. But what does it mean to be faithful? Did Paul say, the Ephesians were faithful to God in their obedience? No, he did not… Hear the proclamation of God's word as I continued to declare God's way of salvation. 8. And it is free!…

But God says, He has a message called the Gospel, the good news, God's gospel. 5. But what is it? IT is good news CONCERNING HIS SON. So, this gospel CONCERNS HIS SON, not you in respect of Merit or work. 6. The gospel has at its core the IDENTITY OF THE SON OF GOD and then the WORK of the same. 7. The Son of God is a descendant of David according to the flesh and the SON OF GOD according to His eternal being, which matter was attested by His resurrection from the dead. 8. And this Son appeared to accomplish the redemption, reconciliation, justification, adoption of all the elect by way of His obedience to death. 9. And these words are VERY IMPORTANT TO THE GOSPEL TRUTH. Other words that are CRITICAL to the FOUNDATION OF THIS GOSPEL are ELECTION, PREDESTINATION, SURETY, SUBSTITUTION/REPRESENTATION, IMPUTATION and PROPITIATION (Satisfaction).

The offense of God's sovereignty Text: Romans 9 vs 1-5 1. Apostle Paul continued to develop the teaching of God's sovereignty in His creation and salvation. 2. And in Romans 8 he has discussed God's sovereignty in salvation and said, it is all grounded in His sovereign decrees and the work of Christ. 3. Thus, those who are on this side of His decrees are eternally secure, justified and cannot ever be plucked away from Christ by anything. 4. But something else was happening that needed explanation. Israel seemed to be rejecting the gospel whilst Gentile participation continued to increase. 5. How could this be when all the promises of salvation and their covenants had been communicated through ethnic Israel? 6. This troubled the Apostle greatly, especially having understood God's sovereignty in this matter. 7. His heart was so burdened for the salvation of His people because he understood the implications of reprobation and the helplessness of men to do anything about it. 8. He said, I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish for my countrymen, my brethren according to the flesh. And that means Paul also had brethren that were not according to the flesh, spiritual brethren. 9. Sovereign grace salvation as good as it sounds for those taught of God also brings about sadness knowing that the matter of salvation was set and sealed from eternity. 10.

Zimbabwe 2023 Message # 3 Unless your brother is with you Gen 42 1:33:22

1:33:22

Zimbabwe message # 3: Preached December 3rd, Prince Edward High School Text: Genesis 42 Title(s): 1. Bring your brother with you, 2. Will not see my face unless your brother with you, 3. The condition of salvation. 1. There are many gospels that speak of Jesus and grace, but are notorious for adding other conditions. 2. Adding any other condition to Christ for a sinner to be saved is a FALSE GOSPEL. 3. Hearing the gospel, faith, repentance, the knowledge of the gospel are not conditions that one meets for there to be justification. 4. Yes, they are related to salvation, but the matter of what God requires for the justification of a sinner must not be muddled. 5. God has spoken about this matter clearly in the matter of SURETY and IMPUTATION. 6. In the story of Joseph and his brothers, the doctrine of surety and their sufficiency is clearly enunciated. 7. Unfortunately, I ran out of power and so the message lost about 20 mins at the end, but you will still get the understanding of the full message.…

1. What shall I do to inherit eternal life? 2. A most excellent question asked to the most most excellent Teacher? 3. Yes, what shall a sinner do to inherit eternal life? Is it even possible for a sinner to do anything to inherit eternal life? 4. What about the Law? Can the Law help a sinner to this end? 5. What did Jesus say and what does He think about the whole matter of the sinner and the Law, eternal life and doing? 6. What is the condition of the sinner? What is it that they can do in respect of DOING ANYTHING TO EARN ETERNAL LIFE? 7. And what was Jesus's answer to the question? Did He suggest that it is DOABLE by the Law or works? 8. Ultimately did understand the question and if so, did He answer it accordingly or correctly?…

Today's gospel instalment: 04/14/2024 Sermon Title: 1. Saul attempts to pin David to the wall, 2. The King's Son-in-Law Text: 1Samuel 18 1. The gospel saga continues through the testimony of Saul and David. 2. David and Jonathan made a covenant with each other. Jonathan loved David and because of that relationship made a Covenant and then stripped himself of his own power and gave it to David. 3. And this looking to the end of the reign of Saul through Jonathan who would have been the heir apparent, being the first born. And there was gospel significance to that exchange which we explored. 4. But Saul continued to feel threatened by the rising popularity of David and so sought to eliminate him. 5. And all the attempts to eliminate David were gospel testimonies of God's eternal purpose in Christ. 6. That Christ Jesus, represented by David, would ultimately get the church, the daughter of the king through His own sacrifice as David would get Michal, Saul's daughter by meeting the condition that he would bring 100 foreskins of the Philistines. 7. And in this we find many wonderful gospel narratives and connections. 8. And they are FREE!…

Today's gospel instalment: 04/07/2024 Sermon Title (s): 1. David slews Goliath, 2. Give me a man, 3. The gospel from Goliath's pulpit Text: 1Samuel17 1. Gospel telling from the Old Testament stories is most wonderful, but it is fraught with potholes by reason of poor hermeneutics. 2. To glean and make sense of the stories, a Christ centered, gospel centered hermeneutic must be used. 3. I argue that much of the New Testament teaching is there in the Old, but hidden in story form. 4. Thus, the characters in the stories must be interpreted in light of the New Testament revelation. 5. Thus, Goliath is not a list of your problems, but a testimony of that which stood against you before God to condemn you. 6. So, His stature was given to amplify that truth of the fearsomeness of attempting your own salvation. And Goliath himself had a wonderful sermon about how the matter of salvation would be settled. 7. He said, give me a man, but NOT just any man, but one who is ABLE TO FIGHT AND KILL ME. 8. In other words, the matter of salvation is about UNION and REPRESENTATION by the qualified Man who could fight to the death. 9. There is a lot of wonderful gospel nuggets in this message if you can listen to the end. 10. But those for whom it was given will make to the end-because it is pure gospel and it is FREE!…

Today's Gospel installment: 04/01/2024 Text: 1 Samuel 15 & 16 Message Title: 1. God rejects Saul, 2. Samuel anoints David, 3. God's Spirit leaves Saul, 4..The gospel according to Saul and David in the transition.. 1..A happy resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus CHRIST to all who name Christ according to His Truth.. 2...Saul's reign over Israel must come to an end, not because God hated Saul necessarily, but for a much greater reason.. 3..David must ascend the throne. This David who was the man after God's heart..Define David and then you can define Saul... 4..But why this transaction and change? Why have Saul as king if God didn't approve of his house? 5..Was God changing His mind about Saul after a disappointing job performance? Does God change His mind? 6..What then? God is a preacher of the gospel. Thus, Saul must be understood in the gospel context.. 7..Saul was a picture of the reign of the Law and its abuse/slavery and that ministry must pass and be succeeded by the better ministry of the man approved by God.. 8..But in typology, a person can carry the testimony of many.. So, Saul was also a picture of God the Father and the text has all these details to back it up.. 9..When Samuel anointed David, the Spirit of God left Saul for David and an evil spirit or distressing spirit was sent by God to torment Saul.. 10..Many traditions around that, but what was that actually preaching about in the gospel? It actually IS A MARVELOUS GOSPEL MATTER THAT IS CONTAINED IN THAT TESTIMONY.. SO, MANY THINGS TO SAY AND THIS IS A MUST HEAR MESSAGE.. And it is free!…

Today's Gospel installment : 03/24/2024 Rom # 49 Summary and closing of Romans 8.. 1..Will revisit all the doctrines presented in Romans 8 from verse 1 to 39.. 2..It has been a lot of teaching of very foundational gospel material that is worth revisiting/recapping on.. 3..Context is very important to understand the larger arguments and this for any subject matter. 4..Romans 8 does not begin in Romans 8..It is a build up from Chapter 7, which is a carry over from Romans 6 and you can go back to Romans 1.. 5..And in chapter 7, Paul has presented a hopelessness that sin and Law have worked together to produce. 6..He discovered that there was no hope to be found in the Law for a sinner.. And this because of the indwelling sin and the Law's own goodness. 7..So, Paul cries out and say, O, wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? The sinner has a body of death and ARE INCAPABLE TO DO THE LAW. PERISH THE THOUGHT.. 8..So, Romans 8 gives answer to that question and unveils God's eternal purpose in salvation, His decrees and sovereignty in both the vanity and redemption of His elect creation..

Today's Gospel installment: 03/17/2024 MESSAGE Title: Who and what shall? Text : Romans 8 vs 32-37 1..God has expounded the matter of His sovereign decrees in the salvation of His people.. 2..And essentially to say the elect, foreloved, predestined and justified are the safest people forever, no matter what life throws at them, which things are in God's hands.. 3..And they are safe because God is for them.. And because He is for them, who shall bring a charge or condemn? 4.The answer is, no one, because it is God who justifies and it is Christ who died to satisfy and put away their sin and this Christ is risen and ever lives to make intercession for them.. 5.But is this all good enough to keep the redeemed safe, because much of the church world falsely teaches that one can be saved and unsaved? That one can lose their salvation.. 6.God says, that is false and a demeaning of His glory. Why? Because there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God in Christ.. 7..This was/is a serious defense and declaration of eternal security and the irrevocable nature of God's decrees, His grace, Christ's work, His power etc. And it is free!…

Today's gospel instalment: 03/10/2024 Message title: If God be for us Text: Romans 8 vs 28-34 1..Lots of God's absolute sovereignty teaching in all matters of salvation.. 2..We will revisit His decrees in salvation, their unfolding and what or how that should mean or be understood in the light of all the gospel parts. 3..If you were blessed by the ALL THINGS FOR GOOD message from 2 weeks ago, this one is exactly on the same level of treatment, if not a little deeper.. 4..Salvation is grounded in God's eternal decrees. Thus, it is not a matter that man helps in the bringing of it. 5..Both God and man are cooks, but God only accepts His own recipe which He accomplished in and by His Son, the Lord Jesus. 6..Man's cooking is bad by nature, thus man has nothing to give to exchange for salvation. All matters of salvation are the free act of God and cannot be changed or frustrated by anyone. 7.. The elect though they may go through suffering in this life have God on their side. He works all things for their good and that good meaning being conformed to the image of His Son. And that conformation is not by elbow grease of progressive sanctification, but is by the free imputation of Christ's righteousness. 8.. The elect cannot be condemned. They are non-sticky pans. Yes, they are sinners, but none is able to bring a charge against them. Why? Because Christ already made good on their sin debt and it is God who justified them. It thus is impossible to reverse this decree. 9..Christ is risen and seated to make intercession for them as their advocate. That and more and it is free!

Text: 1Samuel 13 & 14 1..We are back to 1Sam again to continue from where we left off.. 2..And we don't go anywhere, where we can't preach Christ... 3..I continue to contend that the scriptures do indeed testify of Christ and His work.. 4..I also contend as the Lord taught that if God does not open the understanding one can not see how these stories in the Old Testament relate to Christ.. 5..I contend that God didn't give the Old Testament stories so that we may do Moralistic teaching or a character assassination of these people as appealing these can be.. But rather that we may see the gospel preached through them.. 6..Thus, we continue to develop our theology as God developed and built it around Saul... But in this his son Jonathan is introduced to us also a man of war and God gave a lot of detail to enable us to figure out what God was preaching through Jonathan.. 7..Many sentimentalize Jonathan as they do Esther, Hannah, Ruth and other Bible characters and if they stop or end there, then know that one has entirely missed what God was teaching.. 8..When you have a 7 part series on the goldy women of the bible, then I can tell you that Pastor has not been given understanding of these matters by God. 9..Saul carried a testimony and so did his son.. And unless the details relating to their lives are related to the New Testament revelation of Christ, they can't be preached alright.. 10..This is true of the whole Old Testament.. It must be interpreted through the lenses of the mystery that has now been made known.. And this is free...…

The Holy Spirit is God and is in some places called the Spirit of God or the Spirit of Christ. 3. He is not an "it" like some electromagnetic force. He is full deity. 4. Just like God the Father and Son, He also participated and participates in the salvation of God's people. 5. God has revealed Himself as the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but the Son being the center of that revelation. It is through the Son that we know God to be the Father and also to be our Father. But this truth does not come to a sinner apart from the Holy Spirit. 6. The Holy Spirit is the One who causes the elect to confess the truth as it is in Christ and testifies of those things that were freely given us by God in Christ. 7. But He wears many hats in this business. He has been given also as the seal, down payment /guarantee of the final redemption of the body of the redeemed. And this speaking to the eternal security of the redeemed, that they can't be unsealed and be lost to sin or anything. 8. The final redemption is not for the removal of sin guilt, but of the removal of the body of sin through the resurrection (glorification). 9. This and more and it is FREE!…

1. The Holy Spirit is God and as such is involved in the work of salvation. 2. His work is not what reconciles a sinner to God. That was the work of God the Son, who was made surety and substitute, thus righteousness and holiness. 3. However, the Holy Spirit comes in the wake of the accomplished redemption to indwell as many were ordained to eternal life. 4. He comes in the wake of their justification to bring testimony of that fact in faith and repentance through the gospel. 5. It is He who indwells the believer, in other words, He mediates the presence of the Godhead in the redeemed. 6. As such He gives help, even comfort to the believer due to their weakness-a matter that I will explain. 7. The redeemed are still weak by reason of sin. And that weakness also manifests through their ignorance of how to pray according to God's will. 8. The Holy Spirit as God knows the will of God and thus intercedes, that is, approaches God on the behalf of the saints with groans and prayers that are in accordance with God will. This and more.…

Sermon Title(s): 1. BSGCC # 144 Mt Everest and God's suffering servant Text: Isaiah 49 vs 1-11 1. The Lord Jesus spoke anticipatively of His coming and His work through the Prophet Isaiah and in fulfilment of Cyrus, who was a type of Christ. 2. He came as God's suffering, but Faithful Servant who had a mission and a message. 3. He was prophesied on the heels of Judah's captivity and promised restoration from their Babylonian captivity and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. 4. The suffering Servant spoke from verses 1-6 and spoke about His appearance, as being formed in the womb by God, speaking to the incarnation of the Lord Jesus. 5. But He came on a mission to restore Jacob back to God. In other words, the salvation of His sinful people, as was captured in the name of Jacob, the heel catcher, the transplanter. 6. God called His Servant, Israel and that to say, Christ Jesus, because Christ Jesus was to be and is everything ethnic Israel failed to be. 7. So, the mission of the Lord was defined ahead of His coming. To glorify God in the salvation and restoration of His people. 8. And with this we also touch the matter of the Law and sin. There is no captivity and salvation if there was never sin and Law working together. And that testimony we developed and tied it to Mt. Everest. 9. It is a long message, but it is NOTHING compared to hearing about Jesus in heaven for eternity. And this is free…

In his escape God caused Onesimus to stumble upon Paul in Rome where Paul was a prisoner. 5. And Paul still in chains preached the gospel to Philemon and as it were begotten him even as his son/own child. 6. And Paul sought to reconcile Onesimus back to his master, but using the testimony of the gospel to accomplish the reconciliation. And this is the PROPER WAY TO work Indicatives and imperatives. Commands to the redeemed should be drawn from the gospel. 7. Onesimus must be returned to his master not as a slave, but one who has the same standing as him and that UNCONDITIONALLY. 8. And Paul labored to say, if Onesimus owed anything to Philemon, Paul himself would make payment. Whatever was owed would be put to Paul's account, which means Paul became surety to Onesimus. 9.

Remove the filthy garments from him, 2. A filthy garment problem, 3. I have removed your iniquity from you, 4. The robes of vindication, 5. Iniquity removed in one day. 1. We continue to contend that the Old Testament is a testimony of the Lord Jesus and His work of salvation. 2. And where the Lord is found there must also be a gospel testimony to be gleaned. 3. And in this vision of Zechariah God came and preached the matter of the work of our Lord Jesus Christ in the justification of His people. 4. Again, with every message you will see there is a PRESSING for the unconditional nature of salvation through the work of the ONE MAN. 5. In this narrative, the gospel narrative was set in a court setting. WHY? Because the gospel is a legal matter. Legal matter in that God is holy and righteous and any deviation from that is sin and it results in filthiness. 6. Thus, Joshua, the High Priest of Israel was seen wearing a filthy garment. A garment of unrighteousness and being accused of the Devil. 7. And in this court setting there was also the Angel of the Lord standing to defend Joshua. 8. The Angel of the Lord (the Lord Jesus Christ) used the doctrine of election as the grounds to not press charges or to dismiss the devil's otherwise true allegations of guilt. Those who hate election hate the gospel. 9. And the Angel of the Lord then ordered for a change of garments of Joshua-for him to be given clean garments-robes of vindication. 10. And He would continue to speak to how iniquity would finally be removed in one day… 11. Many wonderful gospel nuggets to glean-this is a BEREAN GOSPEL MESSAGE AND IT IS FREE!…

The dream and its interpretation, 2. A strange thing that the king requires, 3. I have found a man from the captives of Judah. 1. We enter into another gospel instalment that I preached in Nairobi Kenya at Tassia. 2. We opened the Conference (Let these go their way Conference) with a message on God's righteousness from Romans 3. 3. And we continued to build and expand on the matter of what it is that God requires for the salvation of a sinner. And this is VERY IMPORTANT given the rampant conditionalism that is in the professing church world. 4. Many people have all kinds of ideas about what it is that God requires for the salvation of a sinner, but none of their ideas can answer what God requires to His satisfaction. 5. And this matter was preached in the story of Daniel when Judah was in captivity to the Babylonians. 6. God gave a dream to King Nebuchadnezzar, but a dream that he could not interpret. And it caused him many sleepless nights. 7. He sought to get the understanding of the dream from his magicicians, chaldeans, sorcerers etc (False preachers), but they could not tell him the dream-because false preachers are clueless of God's message as He has given and interpreted it in Christ. They remarked that this was a STRANGE THING THAT THE KING WAS ASKING OF THEM-to tell the truth (dream-God's purpose) and then interpret it. 8. It was a strange that none had ever asked, essentially, in the history of mankind. And God's point being that the matter of Christ and what He requires for the salvation of a sinner is a STRANGE THING. None born of a woman have heard of such. 9. But king Nebuchadnezzar did not just ask for the dream and its interpretation.…

2:11:59

Message Title: Let these go their way 1. The Lord Jesus was getting ready to be crucified and as He was taken to trial He continued to preach the gospel. 2. Apostle John preached the same theology that Paul expounded but in story form. 3. As Jesus was arrested, He said to the soldiers, if they were taking Him, then "these" his disciples should be set free-LET THESE GO THEIR WAY. 4. And that was one of the best gospel words that have been uttered in the bible. Jesus was saying, if He is taken, taken to die, He was to die as the substitute of His people and the immediate result of that was the justification of His people. 5. And if He is taken, then by definition, those who belonged to Him and were in union with Him could not be taken into the same condemnation that He was about to experience. 6. In other words, once Jesus is taken to take their place, then all those in Him would be justified from their condemnation. 7. Those of the soldiers and officers from the chief priests (THE LAW) represented the power of the Law. It is the Law that apprehended Jesus. But Jesus having power over the Law commanded that His people should be set free. 8. And this testimony did not end there. Jesus continued to preach the same with Barabbas. Jesus as the Passover Lamb died in the place of Barabbas and that is how Barabbas was set free. It was not Pilate or the Jews who set Barabbas free. A sinner cannot set free another in the matter of condemnation. 9. This is a most wonderful gospel message. AND IT IS FREE……

Kenya Conf # 1 God's righteousness revealed Rom 3: 9-31 2:00:49

Message Titles: 1. All under sin, 2. God's righteousness revealed, 3. Boasting excluded, 4, What then? 1. We opened our first Nairobi, Kenya conference at Tassia with a gospel teaching from Romans 3. 2. Romans 3 has a ton of gospel nuggets that must be taught, understood, declared, believed. 3. The gospel of God is the gospel of Jesus Christ. 4. The gospel of God reveals man's problem, sickness as sin and leaves everyone in the same predicament of unrighteousness and hopelessness (everyone has fallen short of the goal-which is righteousness). All born of Adam have miserably failed to finish the race of righteousness of their own account. 5. And in this state, there is no way out. Moralism cannot deliver such a sinner, nor does the Law and this according to God's purpose that ALL MOUTHS MAY STOPPED/SHUT UP FROM BOASTING. 6. The only way of salvation to them who seek not after God, who have become unprofitable is by God's revealed righteousness freely imputed. 7. And this righteousness of God has been testified of the Law and the Prophets. 8. And that means Christ Jesus is the testimony of the whole Law and the Prophets. The Christ who is the Hilasterion (propitiation/mercy seat) for all the redeemed that by Him God may be just and the justifier of them who come to Him by Christ Jesus. 9. And this righteousness is APART FROM THE LAW and that means it not attained to/possessed by one's doing of the Law or obedience of any kind. 10. IT is a righteousness which is by the FAITH/FAITHFULNESS OF CHRIST JESUS-the righteousness of another. 11. And that tells us that the FAITH OF SALVATION IS not the faith of the sinner. It is the faith of Christ Jesus as He accomplished…

Message preached 12/03/2023 at Prince Edward High School. Title(s): 1. A simple prescription for leprosy (sin). 2. And He was made clean, 3. A mighty man with leprosy. 4. The foolishness of grace 1. This is a most wonderful message of God's way of salvation. 2. Many gospels are being preached but they are loaded with conditions that one must meet before they can be made clean. 3. Some say, you be baptized, others say, stop all your sinning, and yet others say, you must get your doctrine straight before you can be made clean. 4. But these are all false ways. Naaman, the Syrian also thought that for his leprosy to be removed, there had to be some elaborate ceremony for him. 5. He had despised God's way of salvation from sin (leprosy)-then pictured by washing in the River Jordan at the instruction of the Man of God, Elisha. He preferred to be washed by the waters found in Syria that he deemed were cleaner than the waters of the Jordan. 6. But if he had continued to insist on the waters of Syria over the seemingly "dirty' waters of the Jordan, then he would have stumbled at the foolishness of Christ. There is the testimony of the Law and its failure to cause salvation. 7. There is the offense and simplicity of Christ, even of grace. There are just many wonderful gospel nuggets. I personally love this message. AND IT IS FREE!…

Kenya # 4 Mrs Potiphar and the gospel mystery Gen 39 1:47:34

1:47:34

Title(s): Mrs. Potiphar and the gospel mystery, 2. How did Mrs. not get condemned, 3. The doctrine of imputation-the hall mark of God's gospel 1. The story of Joseph and Mrs. Potiphar is one of the most familiar albeit scandalous story of the Old Testament as is the story of David and Bathsheba. 2. Unfortunately, much of Christendom has not looked at this story and such scandalous stories as gospel testimonies. Instead, they have been used as treatises on moralism, which is far from the proper understanding of them. 3. I contend that God did not take time to record these stories for us to draw moralistic teaching. That would be a waste of words. This story bore witness to higher gospel truths of our salvation. 4. Unless Joseph is defined properly as a type of Christ then the whole things falls on the weight of moralism. 5. In the matter of the gospel, God was always teaching that salvation would come by a SPECIAL PERSON and through some legal transaction called IMPUTATION. 6. Imputation is the hallmark of the gospel transaction and one of the best/classic examples was dramatized in the story of this woman who had wandering eyes. 7. She had an eye for Joseph, but Joseph did not yield to her shenanigans. He was a righteous man, but only as a type of Christ. 8. And in the unfolding of the story Joseph got in trouble for something that he did not do and Mrs. Potiphar stayed home, a free woman… WONDERFFUL GOSPEL NUGGETS IN THIS. 9. And it is all freee!…

Today's gospel instalment: 09/03/2023 Text: Romans 7 vs 13-20 Title(s): 1. The Law cannot save, 2. The Law can not help with sin. 3. The power of sin is the Law, 4. Law plus sin is death. 1. The redeemed have legally died to the Law by Christ's death that they may be married to Him. 2. Under the Law none can bear any acceptable fruit to God, but only fruit to death (condemnation). 3. But why then the Law? How does the Law fit into the whole matter, if it does not cause salvation? 4. We know that the wages of sin is death. But what about the Law? The Law works with sin to produce death. But does that not make the Law sin? 5. No, the Law is good, holy and righteous. But it was not given to help with sin as in stopping sin or making sinners righteous. 6. What then? The Law was given to discover, expose and amplify sin and to produce death and condemnation. 7. This is the rightful use of the Law as God intended it. And one must be translated out of this relationship of sin and death by Christ Jesus through His death-the matter which the gospel declares. 8. So, God gave the Law that sin may be made more sinful-to AMPLIFY IT. 9. And Paul discovered that the Law which was supposed to give life, actually brought death to him. 10. Why? Because of the sin that it discovered and exposed. Indwelling sin is opposed to all righteousness. It indwells the flesh and cannot work with the Law to any positive thing. 11. So, Paul discovered that what he willed to do, the very good things, he did not practice and found himself in this hopeless conundrum, a death spiral. 12. We discussed this and more and it is a great gospel message and IT IS FREE. sermonaudio.com/sermon/93…

They would come to this wrong conclusion, that equates sin and Law. 7..But Paul said , may it never be, that is not how this thing works..Law is not sin, but it works with sin always ..The Law discovers , revives sin and brings about death..Sin and Law equals death.. 8..Sin deceives many to think that they can do the Law, only to discover that the Law brings not life, but death.. 9..So, sin takes advantage of the goodness of the Law to deceive them that eternal life and righteousness can be attained by human obedience to the Law.. 10..The Law is holy, the commandment Holy, righteous and good and THAT IS THE PROBLEM for the sinner..The goodness of the Law brings bad…

Title(s): 1. Israel rejects God. 2. The Law is a yoke and of slavery, 3. Who was the king that Israel chose to be under? 4. What was the gospel testimony of them of rejecting God and having their own king? 1. The Old Testament continues to bear witness of the same story of Law and grace even in the stories where this is not expressly said, but it is there to be found with a proper Christ and gospel centered hermeneutic. 2. Israel has had prosperity and freedom under Samuel. God defeated the Philistines for them by way of the sacrifice at Mizpah. 3. But after Samuel was old and his sons were not qualified to take over from him because of their corruption, the people of Israel demanded to have a king like other nations. 4. God did not take that well. He said this was a REJECTION OF HIM. A rejection of His rule. A rejection of grace, because God ultimately deals with His people by His grace. 5. But the people insisted on having a king. But God said this king would be horrible for them. He would use and abuse them, impoverish them and make them his servants. 6. And they would later cry out and God would not hear them and that to say this king would be very terrible for them. 7. And that king was Saul and that means SAUL WAS A PICTURE OF THE LAW. And God preached the misery of the Law through the kingship of Saul, that the Law is not of freedom, but of bondage. 8. And this is contrary to many who still think they can use the Law to further their progress in sanctification (progressive righteousness). The redeemed are ALREADY PERFECT IN CHRIST. 9. A rejection of God by Israel was a rejection of Christ. And any who have rejected grace will only deal with the Law and G…

The ark was captured by the Philistines and it got them a lot of trouble (sickness and death). 4. Atonement had to be made by something that God approved (a sinless sacrifice-trespass sacrifice carried by two cows that had never been yoked (Christ not yoked with sin, golden tumors and mice (no pestilence/no sin-a picture of the sinless Christ and on a new cart-Christ Jesus-body prepared without sin-a body not of this creation). 5. But after peace had been established Samuel gathered Israel at Mizpah and they confessed their sins to God. 6. But at the same time the Philistines had an incursion on them to attack and destroy them. Israel cried out to Samuel to intercede for them to God. 7. Samuel offered a suckling lamb as a burnt offering and the Philistines were defeated. 8. The Philistines represent the testimony of sin. Sin cannot be overcome by resolutions. It can only be defeated by the mediator of a God appointed high priest (Christ Jesus and the offering of Himself). 9. So, all of God's people say-EBENEZER-this far God has helped us.

Today's gospel instalment: 06/25/2023 Sermon Title: God's solution to the ark problem Text: 1samuel 6 1. The ark was among the Philistines territory and it was causing mayhem. It was getting a lot of people killed and many others afflicted by pestilence. 2. And that to say-the ark contained something that was killing them and that means the two tablets of stone-the letter that kills-engraved on stones-the Ten Commnandments. 3. And where Tablets of Stone meet sinners they kill-because the Law is the ministry of death and condemnation. 4. So, what shall be done with the ark? Who shall remove the curse, the pestilence, the condemnation that it has brought on the people? 5. The Ark must be returned to the God of Israel. But it won't go back EMPTY. That is very important. The Law of God will not go back to Him unfulfilled, unsatisfied, otherwise the killing will not stop. 6. So, God sovereignly spoke to the priests of the Philistines and gave them a solution that was agreeable with Him. 7. They had to accompany the ark of covenant with a trespass offering. In other words, there had to be a sin offering for the curse to be removed. 8. The ark and the golden mice and tumors were carried on a new cart, drawn by two cows that had never been yoked. And that means Christ Jesus (new cart-a body-YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME (incarnation of Christ and Holy Spirit conception)-a body without-never yoked with sin-must carry the ark back to God.)…

Neither do I condemn thee Preached at Mt Zion Missionary Baptist church, TN 1. The story of the woman caught in adultery is a familiar story, but do people understand the gospel testimony in it? 2. The woman was caught in the very act of sin and brought to Jesus to make a pronouncement on her. (The Larger point being, the Law was a school master to Christ). 3. The Law had already judged her, she was supposed to be stoned to death, that is condemned. 4. So, essentially, she was on death row. 5. But how shall such a one escape death? She must be brought to Jesus, God brought her to Jesus through her sin and the Law. 6. And if Jesus should set her free (justify) it means Jesus is greater than Moses, grace greater than Law. 7. The Scribes and Pharisees sought to incriminate Jesus by this presentation, testing to see if He had greater authority than the Law. 8. If Jesus was equal to the Law, the woman would be condemned. If Jesus was less than the Law, the woman would be condemned. 9. The only way she could not be condemned was by Jesus not imputing her sins to her. And that means justify her, and that means grace is greater than Law, because Law does not acquit a sinner of its own. 10. The woman was elect. Jesus pronounced her justification (neither do I condemn thee, an INDICATIVE- a declaration of her standing before God) before He issued the IMPERATIVE, to Go, and sin no more. The imperative is given to those that are justified. None is justified by doing an imperative. The ordering is very important. 11. Many in the professing church…

Today's gospel instalment: 06/04/2023 Sermon Title: Freed from sin & Enslaved to God Text: Romans 6 vs 15-23 1. The redeemed, the elect have a different relation to sin than everyone else. 2. Sin brings under death and condemnation. 3. Sin is a master and has its own wages/payout. 4. Sin works with law to produce death and that is its payout. And it is not just death, but condemnation in Hell. 5. The redeemed have been freed from sin as a master. 6. This does not mean they do not sin anymore. 7. It means by Christ's obedience/His death the elect have been removed from the power of sin as their master, especially in what it gives as wages. 8. Everyone is in obedience to something, a slave of someone or something and that means there is none NUETRAL and no so called, human free-will. 9. One who is in Adam is under sin and its power to condemn, they are still under the Law and the end of it is death. 10. Then three is another obedience, to a different Master, Jesus Christ. This is obedience of faith, the obedience of Christ's righteousness, because it ALONE BRINGS justification and eternal life. 11. The obedience of faith is the obedience of the gospel. And this is in contrast to the obedience of sin and obedience to the Law. Obedience to Law does not bring salvation to a sinner. 12. God never intended to bring eternal life by our own obedience. So, the obedience that leads to sanctification and eternal life is another way to say Christ Jesus. 13. Eternal life is not given based on the sinner's "progress" in sanctification. That would be a works gospel and contrary to God's free and sovereign grace. None can progressive enough to be awarded eternal life.…

Sermon Title (s): 1.Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound..? 2..Died to sin. 3..Old Man crucified 1. Apostle Paul has labored to declare the believer's standing before through God's grace that is in the redemption in/by Christ Jesus. 2. The believer has been reconciled, justified and have peace with God. 3. But Paul has also said, where sin abounded grace did much more abound. And that was a theological fact that God's grace would always go above even the worst of sins. 4. And this message that Paul preached was incredibly radical. Telling sinners that God's grace always overflows above any sin and that they are justified from all sins is no ordinary message. 5. The natural fleshly reaction to that message was to say-let us then sin the more than grace may continue to increase. 6. But Paul said, that is not the proper understanding of God's message. Grace is not another opportunity to increase sin. 7. Yet Paul was not saying the redeemed do not sin anymore in their walk. He was saying, the redeemed cannot abuse the message of their free justification to justify to do more foolishness. 8. But in asking this question, Paul ended up working more of the gospel than the instruction not to sin (died to sin, old man crucified, freed from sin). 9. WHY? Because Paul did not ever give imperatives that were NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED IN THE INDICATIVES (that is, in what Christ had accomplished). Pauline imperatives are never naked, they are always clothed with the reality of the sinner's free justification before God.…

1. When Christ is understood then Adam is also understood. 2. Adam was a type of Him who was to come (Christ), but only as a shadow. 3. God determined to preach the gospel first in Adam in which He introduced the legal concept of UNION, REPRESENTATION and IMPUTATION. 4. These are the most FUNDAMENTAL doctrines in respect of God's transaction of salvation. 5. Adam was raised as the representative of all human so that when he sinned all humanity was reckoned as having sinned with and in him. 6. And God's emphasizes on Adam was that he was the One Man and his One transgression/misstep/offense brought sin, death and condemnation to all without exception. 7. On the flip side of things, Christ Jesus was also represented in the gospel testimony of Adam but to work righteousness not condemnation. 8. Christ came like Adam as the One Man who would bring justification, reconciliation, peace with God to those of His elect who had passed through Adam. 9. The elect were justified in their union with Christ. They were in Christ and with Christ by legal union and representation. 10. The elect were never to remain in Adam. Adam was just a detour for them so that God's riches of grace and mercy may be praised in their salvation. 11. Christ Jesus by His one act of OBEDIENCE (death on the cross) justified the many (the many numbered as the elect, not all humanity.) 12. So, what was the purpose of the Law? IT was given not to make human beings better, but to INCREASE sin. But where sin increased, grace did much more abound. 13. So, as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 14. That and more and IT…
