A most convicting and challenging homily. Indeed, it is rare to hear one that even DARE teach that women can, and in fact do, sin. I myself and a sinner and the worst amoung that. May God forgive me.
True, you'r declarations is rightfull and valid. Apostolic protestant churches among all nations must clean themselfe first to be even prepeare to stand in fight against this what is evil. You are brave becasue you know that God demand this from you, an good Anglican - not many such - but when i hear your sermon it reminds me Charles Ryle who in simllar spirit was warning the church to cleanse it in his time in 19-th ceuntry. Let God make us stronger against sin. With that said; my endorsment of your work and good sermon, i need to tell that i think it will be hard for you in future years to stand as such in Anglicanism becasue most of Anglicans are falling for liberalism (along with global lutheran church) due to their position on infant baptism where being born-again happen in infancy; in strong Protestantism it's easy when someone is liberal - you just saying to him in accordance to our doctrine of necesity of Fruit that he by being such is not-born again, but in Luteranism/Anglicanism one is responding to this by saying "are you denying my baptism?" Luterhans and Anglican's cannot say no - here is where there is inconsitency beetwen doctrine of the fruit and the baptism. No wonder why most conservatiwe and radical part of the church cannot make stand there. In your case, you hold hard to baptismal regenration; i fear for you that this can make your problems, but i bless you and hope for you good brother River. God Bless.
Does River hold to baptismal regeneration? I have never heard him defend this. And such is not the view of Anglicans in the Reformed camp. In fact J.I. Packer wrote some years ago a very helpful and short book on the doctrine of baptism in which he specifically refuted baptismal regeneration, putting forth a covenental view much closer to the Presbyterians than Lutherans. I can’t speak for River but from everything else I’ve heard from him, I’d guess he’d fall more into the Packer/traditionally Reformed camp on this topic.
@@newkingdommedia9434 - sounds like it. WCF Chaper 28 - “Baptism is . . . a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of his ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life . . . .” Although I am more partial to Article 27 (which is consistent): “Baptism is . . . a sign of Regeneration or New-Birth, whereby, as by an instrument, they that receive Baptism rightly are grafted into the Church; the promises of the forgiveness of sin, and of our adoption to be the sons of God by the Holy Ghost, are visibly signed and sealed, Faith is confirmed, and Grace increased by virtue of prayer unto God.”
Hey man! I wanted to ask if you could maybe do a video discussing how we can trust the Scriptures/God and His Preservation even with variants/"errors" if that's not a bad word for them. (Btw I will watch this sermon later today when I have a few minutes in between services because it looks amazing!)
I take issue, admittedly, as a firm Lutheran, in the proclamation of so many works in this sermon. "Do you read your Bible enough, go to Church often, act as a good husband or wife" etc. As if these things will add an iota to our salvation. While I applaud your woes on pious hypocrisy within and the outright blasphemy without - your examples give the impression that what makes us good Christians is whether we do these things or not. Your final words in the last couple of minutes are sound and good teaching, but I take issue with your insinuations in the bulk of the sermon.
Almost all of my sermons are completely Gospel focused, but there is a time for fire and brimstone preaching, as the books of James and 2 Peter illustrate

May God continue to bless and empower your boldness and morale in this age, thank you for your voice and witness!

I'm glad it spoke to you brother
Excellent, glory to thee O Lord.
Thank you and amen

@@eric_eagle I believe that Baptism bestows regenerative grace to the elect.
@@newkingdommedia9434 Oh, well, my bad 😅
But that is the Reformed view, as found in the WCF for instance.

A life without the sacraments is wasted. Or worse!
Amen Preacher! Do you fellowship with divorced and remarried Christians that our Lord calls adulterers over and over again?
My church is currently looking into our policy regarding the issue. I am personally opposed to remarriage.
