  • Christian Liberty (Romans 14:1-23 LD 33) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    17/11/2008

    One man eats the sacrificed meat and another man does not eat the meat. Who is wrong and who is right? They are both potentially correct. Does this mean that Christianity is a system of relativism? Does this mean that we are left for ourselves to determine what is right and what is wrong? How […] The post Christian Liberty (Romans 14:1-23 LD 33) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • Why and How Do We Conform to Christ? (LD 32; BC 24; Romans 6:1-14) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    10/11/2008

    One of the great tenants of the reformation is grace alone. This means that we are those who are saved by grace without any merits of our own. If this is the case why would we seek to conform unto God? What is the benefit of living out of gratitude? Why seek to please the […] The post Why and How Do We Conform to Christ?

  • The Foolish Wisdom (LD 31; 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    03/11/2008

    The keys of the kingdom are given to the church. Does this mean that the church opens or closes the kingdom or is it the means that God uses to open and close the kingdom? If the preaching of the gospel is one of these keys why does the world see it as being foolish?

  • Is One Better than Many? (LD 30, Hebrews 7:22-23) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    27/10/2008

    The drama of Israel’s worship most likely surpasses anything that we see today. Think about what it must have been like to watch the priest slaughter an animal as a sacrifice. It is in this sacrifice that the horror of sin, and the wonder of the atonement is so closely tied together. Think about what […] The post Is One Better than Many?

  • This is My Body and Blood (LD 27; I Corinthians 10:16-17) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    20/10/2008

    Christ states at the institution of the Lord’s supper, “This is my body and this is my blood.” What does this mean? Why does Christ use this language? Why does the apostle Paul use this language to confront the problems in the Corinthian church? If you are curious about these questions please stay tuned as […] The post This is My Body and Blood (LD 27; I Corinthians 10:16-17) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • Why Not Passover? (Luke 22:14-23; LD 28) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    06/10/2008

    We know that then Israel left Egypt there was a feast that they would celebrate every year called Passover. We notice that when Christ meets with the disciples prior to His going to the cross that He too celebrates Passover with the disciples. However, there is something that has changed. We no longer celebrate Passover, […] The post Why Not Passover? (Luke 22:14-23; LD 28) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • Who Receives the Sign of Baptism? (Acts 2:39; cf Genesis 17:7; Joel 2:32) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    22/09/2008

    Baptism is a sign that accompanies the gospel as the apostles go into the nations. This is a sign that designates people to the Trinitarian God. However, who is to receive this sign? Is there significance in the citation that Peter uses in Acts 2:39? What does this teach regarding who is in covenant with […] The post Who Receives the Sign of Baptism? (Acts 2:39; cf Genesis 17:7; Joel 2:32) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • What is the Significance of Baptism? (Luke 3:15-17; LD 26) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    15/09/2008

    Christ tells the disciples to go forth, to preach, disciple, and the baptize the nations in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The word and the sacrament of baptism go forth. Why is this sacrament so significant? What does this sacrament communicate as it is administered within the church? Please […] The post What is the Significance of Baptism? (Luke 3:15-17; LD 26) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • Why the Sacraments? (Matthew 28:16-20; Lord’s Day 25) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    08/09/2008

    We know that Christ has been raised from the dead. However, after Christ is raised from the dead he meets with his disciples to commission them. Is Christ commissioning his disciples to finish the work that he started? Why does Christ tell them to teach, but also to baptize? What is the significance of this […] The post Why the Sacraments?

  • Indebted to God (Philippeans 2:12; BC 24, LD 24) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    01/09/2008

    So, we know that it is God who secured, and it is Christ who redeemed. Does this mean that Christ has done 99 percent of the work, and then we have to finish it? If this is not the case then why are there so many commands in scripture? How we account for the apostle […] The post Indebted to God (Philippeans 2:12; BC 24, LD 24) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • Secured Without Merit? (John 10:28, 29; Ephesians 2:8; Canons of Dordt Head 2 Article 8) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    25/08/2008

    It is a blessing to possess everlasting life now. However, how do we receive this life? If the Lord merely offered salvation that would be gracious, but does the Lord merely offer salvation? How can the gospel be even more gracious than the Lord merely offering salvation? If God secures everything so that we endure, […] The post Secured Without Merit?

  • How Can We Have Eternal Life Now? (Isa. 64:4; I Corinthians 2:9; LD 22) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    18/08/2008

    Have you ever asked yourself, “what is eternal life?” Stop and ponder that statement. We look around us and we see the seasons come and go. There are plants that live and then they are dead. We know people who walked among, but now they have died. What is eternal life? Is it possible to […] The post How Can We Have Eternal Life Now?

    21/07/2008

    After Joshua is defeated at the first battle at Ai he asked the Lord, “What will you do for your name?” Since then an Israelite has been executed, and now Israel is called to fight Ai one more time. Will this war be any different? Will Israel gain victory once again? If you are curious […] The post How Can We Be United in a Name?

    14/07/2008

    So it is a blessing to have the Spirit as we are set apart as the living people of God. However, how do we know that having this Spirit is a blessing? Why is it an honor to have the Holy Spirit now? How does it testify to a change in covenant history? How do […] The post What is Different Then and Now?

  • How Can the Last Judgement Be Encouraging? (Romans 8:18-30, LD 19) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    07/07/2008

    There is no doubt that we serve a greater priest in this age. He is Christ Jesus who is resurrected in glory. This is the Lord who makes intercession on our behalf. We have no problem claiming this, but how do we know that his entrance into glory secures our entrance into glory? How do […] The post How Can the Last Judgement Be Encouraging?

    23/06/2008

    How many times have we wondered why Israel got the blessing of seeing such a vivid religion? How vivid it is to see the priest offer a sacrifice. How come our position is not the same? How can we say that our priest is better than Israel’s? How do we know that our priest is […] The post Intercession in the Greater Sancatuary (Hebrews 9:23-28; LD 18; BC 26) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

  • Does Christ's Resurrection Benefit Us Now? (Romans 8:1-11, LD 17) | 2008-2009 Catechism Sermons

    16/06/2008

    The work of Christ takes away our offense before the Father. In fact, Christ being the first fruits guarantees our resurrection. So, our death is merely the means whereby we pass into the next life. So, does the resurrection of Christ have any benefit for us today? Is this something that only guarantees the end […] The post Does Christ's Resurrection Benefit Us Now?

    09/06/2008

    There is no doubt that the work of Christ takes away our offense before the Father. As we know this to be the case then we can ask, “why do we have to die?” After all, if Christ has taken away the offense does this mean that our death finishes what his work did not?

    02/06/2008

    Christ states that He is distressed about His baptism. How can Christ be distressed about His baptism? What does this baptism have to do with fire? Why does Christ want to kindle the fire on the earth, but rebukes the disciples for wanting to call down fire upon the Samartians in Luke 9? What does […] The post To What Extent Did Christ Suffer?

    26/05/2008

    The prophet Ezekiel promises that God will come as the good shepherd to gather His people into one flock.
