TRANSCRIPT:
Beloved, I invite you to turn with me to the book of Ezekiel, chapter 22. Let us read together, starting from verse 29: "The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppressed the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I… Continue reading...
It's wonderful to be with you this morning. A question for us this morning, friends: Why did God put you on this planet? A light bulb has one purpose in life, and it's to shine brightly. A compass, its one purpose is to point north and to always point north. A watch has one job, and it's to keep time, and if you've kept up with daylight savings, it's to keep time accurately. A wedding ring has one job: it's to symbolize the union between two people. A fly's entire existence is to annoy as many people as humanly possible.
Friends, why … Continue reading...

Well, thank you, Joshua. Thank you, Tom. Thank you to the church at Camden Valley for inviting me. This is a great honor. We've not only been praying for this church and praying for the start and the growth of the church, but now we're so encouraged that we can be here the day that you appoint another elder.
Turn in your Bibles, please, to 1 Timothy 4, where we'll be looking at those eight verses. And whilst you're doing that, just greetings also from Smithfield Baptist Church. Many of you know them, and they know m… Continue reading...

Let us pray before we come to God's Word together. O breath of God, come breathe among us today. Speak to us by Your Word. Revive us in every part, we pray, that we might be those who love You, those who serve You, those who do Your will here on earth as it is done in heaven. In Jesus' name, Amen.
I want to read a few passages to you before we begin to look more deeply at God's Word. The first few come from Philippians. If you turn there in your Bibles, otherwise you can just listen. Philippians 1:8 says this: "For … Continue reading...
TRANSCRIPT:
Psalm 10. Why, O Lord, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In arrogance, the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord. In the pride of his face, the wicked does not seek Him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."
His ways prosper at all times; the judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. He… Continue reading...

Galatians Chapter 6:11-18 reads, "See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand! As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to … Continue reading...
Before we come to the reading of God's Word, let's pray. Heavenly Father, we beg You now as we come to Your Word, speak, O Lord. We know that this Word is insufficient in and of itself. We need, O God, Your Holy Spirit to work in us and through us by the power of Your Word, so that we might not go from this place unaffected. O Lord God, we pray that You would change us as we read and as we look at Your Word together. So come, Father, come Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name, Amen.
John Chapter 2:23 through to John 3:21. Now when He, that's Je… Continue reading...
Turn in your Bibles to Galatians Chapter 6. I'd like us to read from verse 1 through to verse 10, and I'd like to consider more particularly verses 7-10 this morning. Galatians Chapter 6, verse 1: "Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. But if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own wor… Continue reading...
Galatians Chapter 6, I'd like to read verse 1 through to verse number 10, and we'll be looking at verse number 6 this morning. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.… Continue reading...

Galatians 6:1-5 reads, "Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load."
Let us pray. Our Lord, is there not… Continue reading...

We're going to look together in Galatians Chapter 6, and I'd like to read from verse 1 through to verse 5. We're going to be looking at verse 2 this morning and dealing with verses 3 to 5 next week as we take up the doctrine of burden-bearing here presented in this text. Galatians Chapter 6, verse 1: "Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Chri… Continue reading...
Before we read our passage, I'd want to, I guess ask a question to begin with, maybe to to lead us in.
We can try this. Maybe raise your hand if you know what it is to feel outraged and angry.
Oh, there we go. I thought that might be the case.
Now, you don't have to tell me the answer to this question, but think of it in your own mind. What gets you angry? What gets you really fired up?
Is it when someone cuts you off in traffic? Is that what what gets you angry? Or is it when someone disrespects you in public, or… Continue reading...
John chapter 2, and we'll read the first 12 verses. On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."
Now there were set there six water pots of stone, according to the manner of purific… Continue reading...

I suspect you've had this experience. You've been going about your day, and you've found perhaps a cafe that serves the best coffee you've ever had. Or maybe you're listening to music in the car, and you find a song, and you're like, "This is just the best song." Or this one happens to me all the time, where you're reading a book, and you go, "This book is fantastic."
And what do you do when that happens? Well, immediately, you go and you tell all your friends, or at least you tell one or two of them. And you say, "… Continue reading...

We're looking together at Galatians chapter number 5. I would like to read verse 16-26 and our focus will be on verse 24-26 this morning. Galatians chapter number 5, verse number 16: "I say then, walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law."
Now the works of the flesh are e… Continue reading...
Galatians Chapter 5:22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law."
In Chapter 5, we have been considering the gospel—the true gospel of Christ—that brings true freedom. It brings the sinner out of a life of bondage, out from under the condemnation and guilt of the law, into the life of the Spirit. A life which begins and is marked by an internal warfare where the Spirit lusts against the flesh, and the flesh against the … Continue reading...

Galatians 5:19-21 tells us, "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Let us pray. We come to You, Almighty Father, the One who gives us all good things. … Continue reading...

I say then, walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
We pray, O God, that You would speak to us now through the power of the Holy Spirit, that You would press upon our hearts the blessed truths of Scripture, and also that You would enlighten the eyes of our understanding… Continue reading...
