Acts 6 and 7 | Suffering and glory
07/12/2007(44:04) The persecution against the early church again intensifies as Stephen, one of the recently appointed deacons, becomes the center of the controversy. His martrydom becomes a clear example of of our own humiliation and coming exaltation. Sermon text: Acts 6-7

Belgic Confession Article 13 | How to Have Unspeakable Consolation
19/10/2007(37:21) Far from an abstract, irrelevant philosophical concept, the Bible’s teaching about the extent of God’s control is not only true but the only sure basis for any comfort in this trying life. Knowing and embracing God’s providence is the privilege and responsibility of all His creatures made in His image. Sermon text: Matthew 10:29-32 […]
-
Acts 5:14-42 | They Kept Right On Preaching Christ

12/10/2007(34:11) The Lord strikes Ananias and Sapphira dead in a terrifying, immediate act of church discipline carried out by the Lord of Glory. This is the same God we worship today, though often times we (dangerously) don’t treat Him like it. Sermon Text: Acts 4:32 – 5:14
-
Acts 4:1-31 | Courage, confidence, boldness
12/05/2007(32:42) There’s no good reason for the political-religious temple establishment to oppose the gracious power of Christ at work through the apostles. But they do, so there’s no reason why the church should expand, given the strength of its opponents. But it does, so we must conclude that Christ’s expansion of His kingdom is relentless. […]

Belgic Confession, Article 10 | Jesus, true and eternal God
27/04/2007(27:40) As the author to the Hebrews explains, a priest who is holy and eternal is required to truly fulfill his office.

Acts 3:1-26 | Walking and jumping and praising God
27/04/2007(36:21) We see ourselves as the miserable, pathetic crippled beggar and as the rebellious, covenant-breaking, apostate generation of Israelites. We see the Lord as the One who gives us the opposite of what we deserve, giving us peace and future glorification. Sermon text: Acts 3:1-26

Belgic Confession Articles 8-9 | The Trinity

-
The Sufficiency of Scripture
22/02/2007(37:49) Please note: The last five minutes of the sermon were mistakenly deleted from this sermon. Challenges against the completeness of God’s Word arise in many different forms.

Why So Unpleasant?
11/12/2006Doesn’t Luke know better than to start the triumphant tale of the early church’s expansion with the disheartening story of a suicidal reprobate? Apparently he knows this unpleasant story is exactly what we need to hear right at the beginning of Acts. Acts 1:12-26

God Reveals Himself
11/12/2006The true God reveals Himself in two ways: indirectly through the world He has made, and directly through His Word. Knowledge of God is not arbitrary but bound by His own revelation, and therefore treating His Word properly is of the utmost importance. Belgic Confession Article 2 Psalm 19
