In this episode, we continue our work in the book of Daniel. Here the intrepid prophet interprets the dream of the arrogant, megalomaniac Nebuchadnezzar. This passage is one of the most theologically significant texts in the book of Daniel, and establishes a strong prophecy related to the coming of the Kingdom of Messiah.
In this episode, I share a Sunday School class recently taught at Gospel Fellowship PCA on the Didache, the oldest known Christian writing outside the New Testament.
In this episode, we continue our exposition of the book of Daniel with the first part of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Here, we see what kind of tyrant he actually is. After assessing his character, we make some general conclusions, and apply the text by looking deeply into our own hearts.
In this sermon, we continue our new study of the book of Daniel. Here, Daniel must resist assimilation into the pagan culture by resolving in the heart, resisting outward conformity, and renewing the mind with divine truth.
We are starting a new series today, as we begin our 31-week expository series through the book of Daniel. Here we will give some background to this book, some historical context with the Exile, and discuss the brainwashing assimilation program of the pagan nation of Babylon.
This is my Resurrection Day sermon from Matthew 27:52-53. Here we consider an unusual passage in Matthew's Gospel where the author seems to suggest that many saints rose from their graves at or shortly after Jesus died. How can this be? In this sermon we explore this most unusual text.
Today we complete our series in the Book of Revelation. We cover the last verse, Revelation 22:21, and then point out seven major themes in the book, touching upon all of the major events and motifs in the book.

This episode is the very last expository sermon in our long series on Revelation, with the exception of next week's sermon which will conclude our study of the Apocalypse with an over-arching review of the whole book. Today, we look at the invitation to come to Jesus, the warning to neither add or take away from the Word of God, and the promise that Jesus is going to return soon.
In this sermon, we consider Revelation 22:14-16. We see the joy of the elect, the scorn of the reprobate, and the glory of the redeemer. Here, Jesus is called both the Root of David and the Bright Morning Star.
In this video, we consider the life of Sarah Edwards (nee: Pierpont) the wife of Jonathan Edwards. We consider how they met, how they fell in love, their eleven children, and their ministry together. Over many years of marriage, Jonathan and Sarah Edwards were faithful to one another, and lived a model and example Christian marriage for all. Sarah had her own religious experiences in the heart of the Great Awakening, and they both rejoiced and suffered together as a married couple. They both die...
In this episode, we begin the epilogue to the book of Revelation. The epilogue to the book contains a three-fold repetition of the phrase, "Behold I am coming soon!" and elicits faith and obedience from the audience. The voice that John hears bids him to regard the "trustworthy and true" words of the prophecy.
In this sermon, we continue the book of Revelation as we enter the final chapter. Today we look at 22:1-5, concentrating on the Tree of Life. In fact, we will consider the "tree trees" of the Gospel; the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the cross of Calvary, and the Tree of Life.
Today we complete the penultimate chapter in the Book of Revelation as we consider four discontinuities between this world and the next; namely, that there will be no temple, no need of the sun, no closed gates, and no unclean thing in Heaven.
In this episode, we step away from our Revelation series for just a moment as we consider civil affairs. In this lesson from a recent Sunday School lesson at Gospel Fellowship PCA, we look at Francis Schaeffer's theology of resisting tyrants. This comes from chapters seven and eight of his 1981 book A Christian Manifesto.
In this video, we continue our slow march through the book of Revelation. Today we come to 21:9-14. Here we have described the glories of Heaven and the gates into the New Jerusalem.

Come study the Bible with us as we work through the conclusion of this book!
In this sermon, we take up an important doctrine of the Christian faith; so important that our faith stands or falls upon this event. Here we are talking about the Virgin Birth, specifically the scene of the Annunciation, often depicted with such sublime care in Western Art.
In this episode, we continue our study through the book of Revelation. Here we come to Revelation 20:11-15 where John sees the Great White Throne Judgment. He sees books (plural) opened and the dead are judged by what is written in them. But then he also sees "another book" which is the Book of Life!
In today's message, we consider Revelation 20:7-10, this is the last reference to Satan in the Bible. Here, the evil one is released from bondage for a short time in order to incite the nations to the battle of Armageddon, or Gog and Magog. He is soundly defeated, and sentenced to Hell.
In this episode, we continue to work through the book of Revelation. Today, we come to this most important text, the thousand years of Revelation 20:1-3. After admitting that many sincere believers come to differing conclusions, we dive into the text and work through these three verses in expository style.
In this episode, we continue our study through the book of Revelation. Today, we finish up chapter 19 as we see the return of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, slaying all of His enemies as He returns in glory. The Beast and the False Prophet are slain. Here we consider how the False Prophet is able to deceive so many.
In this episode, we continue our exposition through the book of Revelation. Today we come to Revelation 19:11-16. This is the quintessential text on the return of Jesus. Although there are many texts that tell of His parousia, this one is particularly sublime in its description of Christ as a Divine Warrior.

In this video, we cover the last part of Revelation chapter 17. In this text, we see the inevitable war of the Dragon versus the Lamb as well as the surprising and somewhat unlikely turn of the Beast against the Harlot.
We continue where we left off last week, looking deeper into John's dark vision of the Prostitute and the Beast. Here we focus on the Beast's heads, manifestation in time, and deception of the people.
