Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 13): The Purpose and Obligations of the Church
(26:13) The purpose of the church is to gather, defend and preserve God’s elect through the ministry of Word, Sacraments and Discipline. If this purpose is clear in our churches so will the obligations be of its members and officers. Scripture Lesson: Hebrews 10:19-25

Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 12): Reformed Worship
(27:28) Many churches today ask what people like in worship and are only too glad to give them what they want. This is the wrong question, however. The right question to ask when designing the worship service is: what does God like? Reformed churches design the worship service according to the...

Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 11): Church Discipline: Process
(30:55) The Scriptures are clear about the necessity of church discipline in terms of excommunicating unrepentant members. But very few churches practice this kind of church discipline. It’s hard not to blame them because the steps of discipline are hard and time-consuming. Nevertheless a church...

Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 10): Church Government
(28:13) There is much disorder in churches today. From undisciplined members to the lack of liturgy in worship, it’s everywhere. Christ is rightly honored, people are rightly fed and the church is rightly ordered when it is governed by the offices of minister, elder and deacon. Scripture Lessons:...

Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 9): Church Discipline: Church Membership
(32:16) Many people today talk only of the invisible church. To be sure, the Scriptures do speak of the invisible church but they also speak of the essential nature of the visible church. In fact, there can be no church discipline without the visible church. Therefore, in this sermon, we will…

(32:43) The last two aspects of Luke’s prescriptive portrait of the early church regard the regular celebration of the Lord’s Supper and participation in “the prayers”. Sermon text: Acts 2:42-47
-
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 8): The Sacraments: the Lord’s Supper
(30:30) In this sermon we’ll first, examine the major views of the Lord’s Supper, second, we’ll examine the Reformed view of “real presence” or “spiritual presence,” and third, we’ll examine the effects of the Lord’s Supper on Christians. Scripture Lesson: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34
-
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 7): The Sacraments: Baptism
(33:05) This sermon has three parts: First, we argue from the Scriptures what a sacrament is, second we argue for the biblical definition of Baptism and third, we argue for the biblical view of infant baptism. Scripture Lesson: 1 Peter 3:18-22
-
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 6): Preaching
(27:24) There is much confusion regarding what preaching is. In addition, there are many self-proclaimed preachers, teachers and Bible study leaders who are not rightly called and authorized. We need to reexamine what the Bible says about preaching. This sermon defines preaching as a proclamation...
-
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 5): Predestination
(26:59) Although many people will deny the proper understanding of Predestination, the correct view is clear: Predestination is a decree of God in which He has elected some to eternal life and has passed over the rest with His grace. This doctrine while mysterious is also the basis for our…

An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 4): Justification
(22:18) Do you know what justification is? Can you define it? Many of those who profess to be Christians cannot. Justification, however, is the Gospel and the doctrine upon which the church stands or falls. This sermon attempts to define justification clearly. Scripture lesson: 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
-
Acts 2:40-47 | Portrait of the Church, part 1

-
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 3): Sin
(22:41) The word “sin” has fallen out of public discourse. If we don’t understand what sin is and the repercussions of it, then we really can’t understand the Gospel. In this sermon, we define original sin and pollution. Scripture Lesson: Romans 5:12-21
-
An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 2): Can We Know God?
(23:10) This sermon explores the two ways in which we can know God (General and Special Revelation), why the Bible is true and the ways in which people suppress the truth of God. (See part 1 of An Introduction to the Reformed Faith.) Scripture lesson: Romans 1:16-32

This catechetical sermon is the first of fourteen on the subject of the Reformed Faith. In this particular sermon we’ll examine why people avoid the ultimate issues of life. The reasons lead us to consider the biblical character of the Reformed Faith. Scripture Lesson: Ecclesiastes 12
