John 16
Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. – John 16:20
When Moses Trembled- Hebrews 12:18-21
This is the first thing which the people beheld when they came to the mount. And when men under the law have to deal with God, their first apprehensions of him are his holiness and severity against sinners, with his anger and displeasure against sin. There the law leaves them; and thence they must be consumed, without relief by Jesus Christ. These things are hid from sinners, until they are brought to the law, or the law to them. They […]
Antiquarian Theology: Lessons From the Church History – Part 8
From the earliest times we have seen Christian men and women who have been heroic in the keeping of the faith. And I’m afraid that in our day we have lost our sense of history, and we don’t recall these titans of faith who have gone before us whose blood has drenched the earth, and who are examples for those of us today to keep the faith. – R.C. Sproul This series of lessons are based off of the Historical […]
Isaiah 9:8-21
Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface. He who shall have understood him well will be abundantly prepared for reading the other Prophets. – John Calvin
Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God – Hebrews 12:18-21
This is the first thing which the people beheld when they came to the mount. And when men under the law have to deal with God, their first apprehensions of him are his holiness and severity against sinners, with his anger and displeasure against sin. There the law leaves them; and thence they must be consumed, without relief by Jesus Christ. These things are hid from sinners, until they are brought to the law, or the law to them. They […]

Isaiah 9:1-7
Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface.

You Have NOT Come! – Hebrews 12:18-24
Having insisted particularly and distinctly on all these things, and brought his especial arguments from them unto an issue, he makes in the discourse before us a recapitulation of the whole: for he makes a brief scheme of the two states that he had compared, balanced them one against the other, and thereby demonstrates the force of his argument and exhortation from thence unto constancy and perseverance in the faith of the gospel. – John Owen
Esau the Reprobate: A Cautionary Tale – Hebrews 12:16-17
An instance of this evil is given us in Esau: “A profane person, as Esau.” ‘That is,’ say some, ‘he was the type of a profane person; it doth not appear that he was such himself.’ But the apostle calls him expressly, a “profane person,” and declares how he evidenced himself so to be, or wherein his profaneness did consist. And the truth is, there are very few in the Scripture concerning whom more evidences are given of their being […]
