    Live: Viewer Q&A - Life Balance: Ministry, Family, Rest, Job, Diet, Exercise etc.

    Welcome to the Live Chat! Today we are talking about the balance of life - holding things like ministry, rest, sleep, worship, family, health, exercise, and diet in a proper order. Since the Bible is the Word of God and theology is the application of Scripture to all areas of life, the Bible has a wise perspective on all of these issues.

    Enoch Walked with God. Genesis 5:21-24. [Sermon]

    What does it mean to truly walk with God? In Genesis 5:21–24, we encounter Enoch, a remarkable man whose life is summarized in just a few words: “Enoch walked with God.” This sermon explores the biblical metaphor of walking as a picture of the Christian life, obedience, and spiritual growth. Discover four essential lessons from Enoch’s example: walk in the light, stay on the straight and narrow path, choose your companions wisely, and recognize the obstacles and dangers along the way. Drawing from passages throughout Scripture, including Psalm 1, Proverbs 4, Matthew 7, and Hebrews 11, we consider what it means to live a life of faithful obedience and communion with God. Are you walking with God? Learn why the Christian life requires perseverance, faith, discernment, and daily dependence upon the Lord. Scripture: Genesis 5:21–24 Sermon: Enoch Walked with God

    Biblical Genealogies: The Historicity of Christianity. Genesis 5:1-20. [Sermon]

    Description: In this particular sermon from Genesis 5:1-20, we will be looking at the genre of Biblical genealogies. Why does the Bible seem to stress them, whereas modern man seems to think of them as disinteresting? I will argue here that there are at least three reasons that the Bible contains them. 1) To establish the historicity of the Christian faith. 2) To trace the hand of the promises of God, and 3) to Rebuke the prideful individualism of our modern conception of self.

    Do Pastors NEED DEGREES on their walls?

    In this video, I am going to discuss whether or not pastors have to have degrees in order to be ordained. On the one hand, we can argue that there are no educational requirements for pastors in the Bible. On the other hand, though, there are so many skills that the pastor must have in order to competently lead his church. Let's dig in to this topic today!

    The Doctrine of Common Grace. Genesis 4:16-22. [Sermon]

    The City of Cain | Common Grace, Technology, Music, and the Gifts of God (Genesis 4:16–22) What can we learn from Cain, the first murderer in the Bible, who went on to build a city and father a family? In this sermon from Genesis 4:16–22, Rev. Dr. Matthew Everhard explores the biblical doctrine of common grace and explains how God's gifts can be used for tremendous good or terrible evil. Even after Cain was banished from the presence of the Lord, he experienced many earthly blessings: marriage, children, music, technology, and the founding of a city. These gifts remind us that God shows kindness even to those who do not know Him savingly. But common grace is not the same as saving grace, and the blessings of this life should lead us toward the Lord rather than away from Him. In this message from the Proto-History of the World sermon series, discover how Genesis 4 helps us think biblically about the gifts and technologies that shape human civilization. IN THIS SERMON: What is common grace, and how does it differ from saving grace? Why does God give earthly blessings even to unbelievers? How can marriage and human sexuality be used for good or evil? What does the Bible teach us about the power of music? How can music be used to worship God—or manipulate human emotions? How can technological advances serve humanity or become instruments of destruction? What can Cain's city teach us about civilization, community, and corruption? How should Christians use their time, raise their children, and respond to new technologies such as artificial intelligence? How can we live our lives wholly for the glory of God? KEY SCRIPTURES: Genesis 4:16–22; Matthew 5:45; Psalm 150; Song of Solomon 8:6–7; 1 Samuel 16:23; Daniel 3:4–5; Romans 13. THE BIG IDEA: Common grace is a gift from God, intended to turn our hearts toward Him. Yet the blessings of creation can be misused for selfishness, idolatry, manipulation, and destruction. Christians must learn to receive God's gifts with gratitude and use them faithfully for His glory. From the printing press to artificial intelligence, from music to marriage, the question is not merely what humanity can accomplish, but whether we will use God's gifts in ways that honor Him. ABOUT THE SERIES The Proto-History of the World is an expository sermon series through Genesis 1–11, examining the biblical account of creation, humanity, the Fall, and the earliest history of the world. ABOUT THE PREACHER Rev.

    Preachers Who Don't Actually BELIEVE the Word of God Has Power!

    In this video, we are going to consider three kinds of preachers who don't believe in the power of the Word of God. 1) Preachers who feel that stunts and costumes and props somehow enhance Biblical worship. 2) Preachers who actively try to undercut the authority of the Word by doubting it's claims (liberals)3) Preachers who feel that medieval mysticism can enhance or replace the power of the Spirit in the preached Word.

    The Mark of Cain: Justice and Grace -- Genesis 4:10-16. [Sermon].

    In this sermon, we look at the continuing saga of Cain's sin. He is judged by God, exiled and cursed from the ground. At the same time, he is also given grace and God provides a unique mark to protect him from others. We consider the concepts of justice and grace and consider their perfection in the cross of Christ.

    True and False Worship. Genesis 4:1-5. [Sermon].

    What makes worship truly acceptable to God? Is sincerity enough—or does God require us to worship Him according to His truth? In Genesis 4:1–5, Cain and Abel both bring offerings to the Lord, yet God accepts Abel’s offering and rejects Cain’s. Why? Their story gives us one of Scripture’s earliest and most important lessons about true and false worship. In this sermon, we examine the similarities and differences between Cain and Abel’s worship and consider why both the worshiper and the offering matter to God. We also look at Hebrews 11, 1 John 3, and Jude for further insight into Cain’s heart and Abel’s faith. The sermon then turns to John 4, where Jesus gives the definitive description of true worship: God’s people must worship Him “in spirit and truth.” True worship requires both a sincere heart and worship according to God’s Word. This biblical principle is foundational to the Reformed understanding of worship and what is often called the regulative principle of worship. Along the way, we consider the Golden Calf, Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal, and C. S. Lewis’s depiction of worship in The Last Battle. What happens when we have spirit without truth? Truth without spirit? Neither? And what does it look like to worship the true God with a true heart? Join us as we explore Genesis 4 and discover what the Bible teaches about Cain and Abel, true worship, false worship, sincerity, Scripture, and worship in spirit and truth. #Genesis4 #CainAndAbel #TrueWorship #FalseWorship #ChristianWorship #ReformedTheology #SpiritAndTruth #BibleStudy

    Open Letter to the PCA

    In this video, I write something like an "open letter" to the PCA. Don't get me wrong. The PCA is the greatest denomination in the world. I love it. I am so thankful for it! I am blessed and honored to be a part of the PCA. It is excellent in so many ways! But rather than sprain my arm patting ourselves on the back, I want to point out a number of things that we can certainly do better. Praise God for the PCA!
