“ Being a sinner still is exhausting… ” Wow, this was beautiful, and so well summed up at the end by the comment: “…but my God is not a hypocrite…” My ungrateful, unmerciful self becomes aware of the hypocrisy within at the sight of Christ spending himself on those who can never repay Him. Being a sinner still is exhausting, but praise God: His love for us, still, IS changing us…
“ Confessional! Love it! ” Woow. I have been in search of a confessional church that actually teaches their confession and not merely have it in their website. This is such a blessing. I wish I was near south jersey. Please plant a church in the North? We need this!!1
“ Great Sermon! ” This is a radical and different approach that I am glad I got to hear. I love how Christ was placed forth in a clear way and not the cliche approach that most reformed churches suggest. Amen and looking forward to listening to this whole series. Thanks a lot!
“ Profound! ” This sermon utterly ruined me and at the same time gave me the utmost assurance. I have never experienced both at the same time. I especially love how counterculture it was and yet biblical. Thanks
“ We need HIM! ” I love this body. I listened to the sermon first and then this catechism session and I am on the verge of packing my belongings to moving to NJ. Thanks for these truths that have been protected and kept for us in the confessions of the Reformed Faith!
“ critical distinction ” It makes a lot of sense to see the lay of the land in this distinctions because when the imperatives are placed before the indicative of the gospel, the result is some sort of attempt to earn salvation. When the indicative of the gospel is placed first, the result is the fruit of obedience; obedience to God’s imperatives. This was super helpful. Where are you guys located in South Jersey? Thanks
“ Helpful! ” Being a catholic who is currently struggling with some of the issues addressed here, I found this session helpful and saw the seriousness and dangers of watering down Lord's supper to mere Mass.
If you don't mind can the broadcaster upload a pdf copy of the session please?
Thanks alot!
“ Waters that Unite ” Although I struggled a bit with the accent the first few minutes I was able to adjust after a couple of minutes and boy I loooooved the exposition. Loved the tying in of the sacramental language and the Credo-baptistic perspective exposition of a "predominantly" paedobaptist confession. Much grace brother! Thanks.
“ Jesus is the God-Man ” Thanks a lot for the in depth explanation of that article in Heidelberg. Indeed we are indebted to the God-man. He must be both!!
“ Great is our God!!! ” Amen. Thanks a lot for the reminder that "God can only pass-over our sins because in the case of Christ he did not, He crushed His son for us. Amen!!!!
“ Thank you so much ” Pastor Anthony, thank you so much for this sermon. It was very special to once again just meditate on the mercy that God has had for me. His mercy is a daily reality to me. You brought so many points out that hit home, and certainly stirred in my heart a desire to know Him better.
“ Great Sermon! ” Up to verse 31 it does refer to the fall of
Jerusalem but then it changes and is describing the 2nd coming of Christ. See
1 Cor. 15:52, 1 Thess. 4:14-17.
