Exodus

You shall not steal (Part 1)

by Brian Watts on February 10, 2019

We come to a commandment that consists merely of four words – “You shall not steal” – and yet in it we will see that God has a way of packing into the shortest, clearest little phrase so much profound truth in which He draws out of them the depths of the riches with which He has loaded them.Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Exodus

You shall not commit adultery (Part 4)

by Brian Watts on February 3, 2019

One of the key things we need to grasp as we bring this study of the Seventh Commandment to an end this morning is that adultery does not just happen. Adultery is always planned. This, sadly, is not only true amongst unbelievers, but also among believers. The common excuse, “We could not help it!”, is nothing but false. Animals can’t help it. Beasts cannot – for them it just happens – but not for humans. And the moment we start reasoning like this, then as we saw last Lord’s Day, we have become just like beasts in each of our faculties.Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Exodus

You shall not commit adultery (Part 3)

by Brian Watts on January 27, 2019

We live in a sex-crazed society. Lust sweeps past logical reason into all forms of insidious perversion. The list of deviant sexual sins as found in Leviticus 18:1-30 shows us that mankind very quickly distorted God’s gift of sexuality, making sexual lust into an idol that steals the hearts of men away from their God.Podcast: Play in new window | Download

A call to abide in the Vine (Part 2)

by Brian Watts on January 20, 2019

Bible Text: John 15:5-7 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Morning Services | This is a passage in which our Lord metaphorically likens Himself unto a Vine, yet also simultaneously distinguishes Himself from any ordinary vine, by specifying that He indeed is the “True Vine” (John 15:1). In this parable, Jesus emphasizes the connectedness of the vine to its branches to emphasize certain spiritual truths. May the Lord impress these truths upon our hearts.

Dealing with calamity (Part 11)

A call to abide in the Vine (Part 1)

by Brian Watts on January 13, 2019

Bible Text: John 15:5 – 7 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Morning Services | The passage we are to consider this morning is at the heart of our Lord’s Farewell Discourse as found in John 13:31-16:33. It was some of the last things Jesus had to say to His disciples before He returned to be with the Father in Glory. I reckon Jesus knowing that He was soon to depart had some pretty important things to say in this last discourse, and so I thought it well for us to consider something that I believe was very important in our Lord’s mind. Jesus is here having a final meal with His disciples.
