Sunday School: WCF 22.1-22.7 — Of Lawful Oaths and Vows
Why does a confession that spends chapters on election, the law, and adoption stop to talk about oaths and vows? This week Brother Bryson Amyx teaches Westminster Confession Chapter 22 and makes the case that it matters far more than it first appears. We define our terms: a lawful oath calls God…

Faith Doesn’t Need the Whole Plan | Ruth 4:13-22
How does a story that begins in famine, death, and bitterness end with a baby in a grandmother’s lap and a name in the line of the Messiah? In this final message in our series on the book of Ruth, guest speaker Brother Aaron Caldwell walks us through Ruth 4:13-22 and the quiet, astonishing way…

Blessed Are the Merciful | Matthew 5:7
Jesus doesn’t preach the Sermon on the Mount with a list of tidy instructions. He speaks in riddles of a sort, proverb-like statements meant to be turned over and pondered. So what does it look like to meditate on a beatitude like “blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy”? In this...
-
Sunday School: WCF 21.1-21.8 — Of Religious Worship and the Sabbath Day
If we’re saved by grace and given the law to delight in, how are we supposed to worship God when we gather? Do we improvise, or has God told us what pleases Him? This week Pastor Zachary Hill leads us through Westminster Confession Chapter 21, the chapter that gave rise to the Directory for the...

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst | Matthew 5:6
Every one of us has felt hunger and thirst. Few of us have ever come close to starving. But Jesus takes the most basic function of the body and points it at the deepest need of the soul: blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. In this message, we...

WCF 20.1-20.4 — Christian Liberty and Liberty of Conscience
If we’re saved by grace and not by keeping the law, does that mean Christians can do whatever they want? This week we open Westminster Confession Chapter 20 and work through the scope of Christian liberty, freedom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath of God, the curse of the law, bondage…

Blessed Are the Meek | Matthew 5:5
Meekness gets confused with weakness more than almost any other virtue in Scripture. We picture the pushover, the quiet kid who never speaks up, the man with no backbone. But Jesus calls Himself meek, and He’s also the one who turned over tables in the temple. So what is meekness, really? In this...
-
Sunday School: WCF 19.5-19.7 — The Three Uses of the Law
If believers aren’t saved by keeping the law, why does Scripture spend so much time on it, and why does the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, read like a love song to it? This week we finish Westminster Confession Chapter 19 by working through the law’s three uses. We look at the law as a...
-
Matthew 5:4 | Blessed Are Those Who Mourn
We live in the most comfortable, indulgent society in history, and we are still this sad. We numb it with antidepressants, food, doom-scrolling, anything but looking it in the face. Jesus' second beatitude cuts straight through that instinct: blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be...
-
Sunday School: WCF 19.1-19.4 — The Three Kinds of Law and the Principle of General Equity
Is the Old Testament law just done away with, or is there more going on when Scripture calls something "abrogated"? This week we open Westminster Confession Chapter 19 and work through how God's people, saved by grace, are meant to rightly understand and use God's law. We trace the law back…

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit | Matthew 5:3
The kingdoms of this world tell you blessedness comes from what you have. Jesus starts His most famous sermon by saying the opposite: blessedness begins with destitution. Not "blessed are the wealthy" or "blessed are the accomplished," but "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the…

Sunday School: A Testimony of God's Faithfulness | Psalm 32 & 34
This week we set aside our regular study of the Westminster Confession for something the Confession itself points us toward: a living example of the perseverance and assurance we've been studying together. A beloved member of our congregation, Patrick Kendall, shares his testimony of the Lord's...
-
Isaiah 61: The King's Jubilee
When Jesus stood up in the Nazareth synagogue and read from Isaiah 61, everyone expected a battle plan. They got a promise of Jubilee instead — freedom for captives, debts canceled, and a kingdom handed over before anyone had done a thing to deserve it. This message opens a short series on the...
-
Sunday School: WCF 18.3-18.4 — How Assurance Is Attained and Shaken
Can you know you're saved without some dramatic sign from heaven? This week we finish Westminster Confession Chapter 18, working through two remaining questions: how is assurance actually attained in ordinary life, and what happens when it gets shaken? We look at why assurance isn't part of the...
-
Ruth 4:1-12 — The Redeemer Who Gives a Name to the Dead
At the city gate, an unnamed man had the right to redeem Ruth — and he refused. He wouldn't risk his own inheritance to save an outsider. So Scripture doesn't even preserve his name. Boaz does what the nearer redeemer would not: he willingly pays the price, takes Ruth as his wife, and perpetuates...
-
Sunday School: WCF 18.1-18.2 — Assurance of Grace and Salvation
Can you actually know you're saved? Or is that just arrogance? This week we open Westminster Confession Chapter 18 — the final chapter in the Confession's long treatment of redemption applied — and ask a question different from everything that's come before it: not "what is salvation," but "can…
more -
Ruth 3:14-18 — Resting in the Finished Work of Your Redeemer
Ruth has done everything she can do. She's placed herself at Boaz's feet, trusting him with her future. But there's still a problem — another redeemer has a prior claim, and now she has to wait. In this message by Brother Aaron Caldwell, we pick up right where Ruth 3 left off, at the threshing...

Sunday School: Westminster Confession of Faith 17.2-17.3 Perseverance and Counterfeit Gods | WCF 17.2-17.3
Perseverance and Counterfeit Gods | WCF 17.2-17.3 Why haven't you walked away from Christ yet? That's the question driving this class on Westminster Confession 17.2-17.3 — and this week we get practical: how do we actually persevere, together, when life hands us reasons to quit? Brother Bryson…

2 Thessalonians 3:6-18
