You shall not commit adultery (Part 2)

by Brian Watts on December 9, 2018

Bible Text: Exodus 20:14 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Exodus 20 – The 10 Commandments | Thus far we have defined what adultery is and we have looked at adultery from the perspective that marriage is a covenant. That sets the stage for our further study this morning, and I invite you to come along with me once again, as we look to God for grace and mercy as His Spirit teaches us all things concerning the truth.

You shall not commit adultery (Part 1)

by Brian Watts on December 2, 2018

Bible Text: Exodus 20:14 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Exodus 20 – The 10 Commandments | We come this morning for the first time to the Seventh Commandment. A commandment containing far-reaching implications. A commandment that speaks to an epidemic that holds our culture in its vicious clutches. A sin that destroys marriages, that ruins children in the covenant family, that disrupts society, yet sadly is largely no longer frowned upon. A sin from God’s perspective; a convenience and a pleasure from mans’.

“RUTH – From bitter to sweet” A redemptive display of God’s passion for his people.

by Brian Watts on November 26, 2018

Bible Text: Ruth 4:1-22 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Combined evening service | The book of Ruth tells of a young Moabite widow who, out of love for her widowed Israelite mother-in-law, abandoned her own culture, declaring, “Your people shall be my people, and your God my God” (1:16). Though she was destitute and needing to rely on the kindness of others, Ruth’s disposition and character captured the attention of Boaz, a close relative of her deceased husband. Boaz fulfilled the role of kinsman-redeemer and took Ruth as his wife. Ruth serves as a wonderful example of God’s providential care of His people, and of His willingness to accept Gentiles who seek Him. Ruth was an ancestor of Christ, and that effectively is what this redemptive story points us to.

The Unpardonable Sin

by Brian Watts on November 26, 2018

Bible Text: Mark 3:28-30 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Exodus 20 – The 10 Commandments | We find ourselves this morning for the second time in one of the most intense recordings in Mark’s Gospel pertaining to opposition arising against Christ in His Ministry. We see in this context how Christ had been reviled by family members and blasphemed by members of the Scribes of the Pharisees. First, they called Him insane and after that, they accused him of being possessed by Satan himself and doing all His “so-called miracles” by the power of the prince of darkness.

A Build Up to the Unpardonable Sin

by Brian Watts on November 19, 2018

Bible Text: Mark 3:22-27 | Preacher: Brian Watts | Series: Exodus 20 – The 10 Commandments | As we have worked our way through the Sixth Commandment and considered the implications pertaining to murder and how the violation of this command is a breach of God’s Law, I thought it would be helpful to briefly pause our expositions on the Ten Commandments and consider an aspect that I alluded to on numerous occasions during our expositions of the Sixth Commandment. We saw very clearly that murder in all of its forms, whether it be suicide, or euthanasia or abortion or any other form, is a sin that God forgives upon repentance. In other words, murder is not the unpardonable sin. That though, begs the question: what is the unpardonable sin? I feel this is a question we need to answer even in light of the Ten Commandments and I think this is the perfect time to do so. I plan on doing this by spending time in this text for the next two Lord’s Days after which we will Lord willing return to our study of the Ten Commandments.
