Rev. Rodney Henderson Deuteronomy 5:12-15

Most likely, Psalms one and two were composed as a sort of introduction to the entire Psalter. Psalm two is classified as a royal psalm which highlights earthly rulers’ accountability to God. Psalm one is “a faithful doorkeeper, confronting those who would be in congregation of the righteous” (Kidner, 47). The psalm holds before us a choice between…

[Sung Psalm: 94]Our ordinary Christian life is lived in union with Christ. Our everyday, normal existence is normed by life in the Spirit.And that means that you don't need to "make up" for failures in the ordinary through doing something extraordinary – but simply through repentance.And what is repentance? I like the Shorter Catechism's answer: "r…

As a church intern, I saw something firsthand. A family had taken on a high niche child. I can’t remember if it was a foster adoption, something to that degree. The wife particularly had asked, maybe demanded a lot of help from others in the church. Several families had come together and brought meals. They arranged for extra care, and they really …

Rev. Rodney Henderson Deuteronomy 5:11

Jesus’ words to his followers in Matthew 5, “You are the light of the world, a city set upon a hill cannot be hidden,” were brought to fulfillment in the church. Luke’s description of the first church ends with these stirring words: “And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (vs. 47). What a remarkable response of Divine …

[Sung Psalm: 131]How often have you heard people object that "Christians are hypocrites"? How do you answer someone who says that? I think the best answer is to confess that too often it is, in fact, true. And not just in "churches out there" – but right here. How often have we thought about "what do I get out of it?"As we go through these verses, …

In chapter 11, we heard how Solomon's life had ended poorly. The wages of sin is death – not only the death of Solomon himself, but also the dismemberment of the Kingdom.The golden age of Israel's history – the new Eden that Solomon built – ends the same way that the first one did.And Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. When his hea…

So today’s a topical message, looking at a component of biblical Anthropology. It’s a fancy way of saying we’re going to talk about our feelings today. It applies to everyone who’s still breathing. Sometimes we think of these types of conversations and it’s like, Oh, not one of those. But again, the reason for it is this affects all of us. There’s …

John 4:1-29

Rev. Rodney Henderson Deuteronomy 5:8-10

A steward is someone who takes care of another person’s possessions. We may be a steward of someone’s home or land or investments. A steward has great responsibility but also great privileges. In the opening chapters of Scripture we learn that stewardship is basic to our self-understanding. God created man and woman in part to steward the earth. He…

Psalm 1:19. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we ask that you would remember your word to us, your servants, and that it would be that in which you have made us hope. That it would be a comfort in our affliction, that your promises would give us life. That when we think of your rules from of old, that we would take comfort, O Lord. Lord, that your stat…

[Sung Psalm: 51]In Romans 12 Paul launches a new section of Romans. He will now talk about the "practical" side of the Christian life. He has spent the last 11 chapters talking about the importance of Christian doctrine – the importance of the good news of what Jesus has done.We should remember that "doctrine" simply means "teaching." Doctrine is t…
