In our fourth and final sermon in this series on the Bible and why we are Protestant, we delve into the question of authority. As Protestants in the Anglican tradition, there are two important truths that we hold. One is that the Bible is not our only authority; it is not the only voice we listen to. However, the second is that Bible is our only "inspired and infallible authority." It is the au...

Building upon last week's sermon on the Bible is how God tells us who He is, in which we covered Revelation and Inspiration, today we covered this fact, that the Bible is true. Both the words of the Bible and the 66 books of the Bible are the true, inspired words of God. The Bible is a supernatural work of God, who has all power over time/space/matter...all of creation. This includes His power ...

How can we know God? Is it even possible? On one side is the fact that God is so wholly different than us, He is unknowable. But this is coupled with the fact that God is knowable to the extent that He has revealed Himself to us. This revelation comes in different ways, most notably in Jesus who is the incarnate Word of God (He is the fullness of God's revelation about Himself). And it also com...

Part 1 of our series on the Bible, answering the question of “Why We are Protestant?” The Bible is ONE story and it is all about Jesus. The story is God’s story of creation, redemption and restoration in and through the work of Christ. Grasping hold of this is crucial for us to understand God and our relationship to Him. Through faith in Christ, God invites us into His story and to participate ...

The eternal Son of God left His heavenly family to be born into an earthly family so that we who only know an imperfect, earthly family might be adopted into the perfect family of God. This truth of our being adopted as sons and daughters of God is essential for the living of of whole Christian life. Is it what changes us and enables us to walk in love for God and one another. The Collect for C...

In the last of the 6 conversations that God has with His people, He tells them that what they are saying about Him is hard on HIm. While God has reassured them that He loves them, will care for them in true righteousness and justice, they have refused to listen. Instead they essentially say that God is not true, that He lies: saying He blesses the righteous when He actually blesses the wicked. ...

The walk through Malachi is a series of heart checks for us in our relationship with God. When it comes to how we handle money, Jesus said this is a direct window into our heart to show what we love most. This passage in Malachi is challenging and has been misused and abused by pastors to throughout church history, including our day. For the Israelites in Malachi's day, they were being unfaithf...

A common question that many of us have at one time or another is "why do people living ungodly lives seem to have such a good life?" In the fourth conversation between Yahweh God and Israel, the heart the Jewish people in Malachi's day are asking this question. But since their own hearts are hardened towards God, they accuse God of actually blessing unrighteous people. If He really cared and wa...

The third conversation God has with Israel is directed to the people. They are being unfaithful to Him and the Covenant by being unfaithful in marriage. This is seen in two ways: by marrying foreign women and by divorcing their wives for other reason than they do not love them anymore. For us today as Christians this means that believers are only to marry other believers and that those already ...

After leading with His faithful, covenantal love for His people in the first 5 verse of Malachi, now Yahweh God brings forth the many different ways that they are being unfaithful to Him. He starts with the priests and the fact that they dishonor Him by not teaching truth to the people as they should and offering blemished animals as sacrifices to Him. (which the people bring). He presents Levi...

Throughout the Bible, God clearly and consistently reminds His people of His great love for them. Yet, we oftentimes find ourselves like Israel in the opening chapter of Malachi, asking “how have You loved us God?” God answers Israel through Malachi, telling them to look to His works which testify to His love for us. God works all things for the sake of the salvation of His elect, and this poin...

11/10/2024 Matthew 9:18-26 The Reconciling and Restoring Savior

In an era in which identity seems to mean everything and yet is ever-shifting, it can often feel unstable and confusing. “Who am I?” is the prevailing question. In the end of Philippians 3, Paul tells us that, as Christians, our primary identity is that of citizens in heaven. We are pilgrims on the way, but Paul reminds us of our destiny, and he reminds us that because we have a great God and s...

Proverbs presents instruction in the way of Wisdom for believers. The first section of the book is found in chapters 1-9, where we see the bookends of “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Christ and his life is the perfect display of wisdom. This wisdom is not dependent upon the people who communicate Christ, for the message itself is wisdom to those who believe, wiser than any wi...
