Why Was Jesus Baptized?: Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson

30 Aug 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 6-minute video by Pastor Sinclair Ferguson, one episode of his podcast, Things Unseen. His 5 episodes of last week were about various aspects of baptism. He was focusing on the deeper meaning of baptism which did not get into the common areas of dispute among believers. He said something in this video that I had not heard in the 20 years I’ve been a Christian, as he explained how it is that Jesus’ baptism is a picture of the gospel. In the process, he explained what the reformers meant when they called believers to ‘improve’ their baptism.

The video of this post provides great insight into the biggest problem a Christian has, the sin problem. It is stated from the perspective of the biblical Christian, one who is working to understand scripture and to follow Christ. It provides useful insight into resting in Christ. Those words are easy to say but very difficult to comprehend in an experiential manner.

Doreen had a lot to say about the following 7 New Age deceptions that are infiltrating the church.

The 5-minute video of this post, walks one into the courtyard and through the tabernacle. In the process, it explains the significance of the Altar, the Minora, the Table and Incense altar, the Ark and Mercy seat. These all have significance in the lives of Christians.

The Tabernacle of God [Jesus Christ] – Part 1

29 Jul 2024 Michael A

Dr. Philip Ryken described the Tabernacle from scripture and went on to explain its significance in terms of worship, then and now. His teaching concluded in an explanation of how it is that Jesus Christ is the Tabernacle. If you have not understood this from your reading of the Old Testament, then you will greatly benefit from hearing his teaching. The concepts he explained are foundational to your worship today; to how you think about Christ and approach Him in worship. [Highlights run from 17 to 41 minute marks]

Deceitfulness of the Heart – Jeremiah 17:9 – Archibald Alexander – Part 3 of 3

21 Jul 2024 Michael A

Parts 1 and 2 of this three-part series treated the deceitful imaginations of the heart; this part consists of the ‘Reflections’ of Alexander as he closed the chapter. The text from his book is directly under the video so that readers might follow along with the video reader if they desire to do so. I think that is a good way to consider the weighty material Alexander covers in his study of Jeremiah 17:9.

Deceitfulness of the Heart – Jeremiah 17:9 – Archibald Alexander – Part 2 of 3

17 Jul 2024 Michael A

The topic of this post is part 2 of chapter 12 from Archibald Alexander’s book: Practical Sermons to be read in Families and Social Meetings. His topic derives from, Jermiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I think is it important to understand this foundational biblical concept from Jeremiah’s writings because it is how the whole of scripture speaks of mankind. But you may not realize that if you attend a mainline Christian church, unless, of course, you are a student of the Bible.
