From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronNo Small Matter: Christ is Enough - Hebrews 7:23-28It is faith that saves, so the content of our faith is no small matter. Jesus Christ is everything for our salvation. This is the main message of the book of Hebrews. Jesus fulfilled all the laws and ceremonies as an ultimate high priest who lives forever. We no longer need a temple building or animal sacrifices or kosher food laws or priests because Jesus Christ fulfills the need for all of these. Moreover, nobody in heaven or on earth loves us as much as Jesus Christ does. May 26, 2024 AM sermon at North Blendon Christian Reformed Church2024-05-2828 min

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronDavid's Victories - 2 Samuel 82 Samuel chapter 8 tells of King David defeating one nation after another. The victories sound smooth and even easy, but Psalm 60 was written at this time and it is about military setback and asking for God's help.

A believer's entire salvation rests on the person of Jesus Christ. John chapter 1 tells about the Word becoming flesh, meaning the Son of God took upon himself all the raw aspects of being human but was without sin. Being fully human and fully God in one person, he is the one and only salvation. May 12, 2024 AM sermon at North Blendon Christian Reformed Church This is a public episode.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronGod's Covenant, David's Gratitude - 2 Samuel 72 Samuel chapter 7 is a pivotal moment in the history of salvation. It tells of David wanting to build a house for God. God responds that he will build a house for David and that his throne will endure forever. But there is a problem. David's throne ended with the Exile to Babylon. When Jesus was born, Mary was told that Jesus would have his father David's throne and his kingdom would never end. Because all God's promises are "yes" to us because of Christ, these promises apply to us also. May 5, 2024 PM sermon at North Blendon Christian...2024-05-0929 min

Psalm 104 is a poem of marvel at God's creation and rule over all things.

The trinity - one God in three persons - is one such belief. Many religions dismiss the trinity as illogical and even many believers mistakenly think Jesus is not divine and the Holy Spirit is not a person.

While we can get a vague idea of God from the created order, it is Scripture that gives a clear view of God. The Bible is God’s written word: Divine writings by mortal pens. Surprisingly, the church never had a big gathering to decide which books would be in the Bible. The 27 books of the New Testament emerged organically by consensus over the centuries.

When it comes to our belief about God, this has direct impact on our daily lives. If there were many gods, we would have to be on the good side of many deities. As it is, there is only one God to serve. If God were temperamental, we would have to worry about God's mood from moment to moment. As it is, God is immutable and consistent.

Called "Arianism," this view became very popular but was vigorously denounced by the Christian bishops of the time. The Nicene Creed was written to combat the idea that Jesus Christ is not fully God as well as fully human. The truth of Jesus' full divinity prevailed for many centuries.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronSaul Kills the Priests - 1 Samuel 221 Samuel chapter 22 shows how King Saul is more paranoid and delusional. Because Ahimelech the priest assisted David, Saul kills Ahimelech and everyone in the city. David then takes responsibility for the killings even as Jesus Christ has taken responsibility for our sins on the cross.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronDavid Pretends to be Insane - 1 Samuel 21:10-151 Samuel chapter 21 tells a short story of a time David should have been killed. He went to the city of Gath in enemy Philistine territory, was immediately recognized and apprehended. David pretends to be insane in order to be released. The story shows how God's salvation plan prevails in spite of us and our foolishness. September 10, 2023 PM sermon at North Blendon Christian Reformed Church This is a public episode.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronWhy Witness? Because People Matter - Acts 16:16-34Acts chapter 16 has a slave girl who makes money for her owners, a jailer who has nothing left to live for, and Paul & Silas voluntarily suffering for the sake of the gospel message and the church. People today similarly are caught up in bondage and hopelessness. They need to know about salvation in Jesus Christ because they matter.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronDid Jesus Tell Martha that Service is a Waste of Time? - Luke 10:38-42Martha wanted her sister Mary to help with serving the guests instead of listening to Jesus. Jesus told Martha that Mary has chosen rightly. Considering what the rest of the Bible says, no, Jesus is not putting down service. It does not mean Mary is superior to Martha.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronJonathan Protects David - 1 Samuel 201 Samuel chapter 20 tells of how Jonathan finds out just how determined is his father to kill David. King Saul even hurls a spear at Jonathan out of rage. Jonathan dishonors his father and the king's wishes to protect David. Jonathan is set to lose the kingdom to David but trusts God's plan for David to gain the throne. Jonathan is a picture of what it means to follow Christ.

Biblically, there is a difference between concern for someone's soul and pointing out their faults.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronDid Jesus Say the End Will Come in His Generation? - Mark 13:30Jesus gives a bunch of cataclysmic prophesies, mentioning his Second Coming, and then says, "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." Some have used this to predict when Jesus will return. Skeptics say this proves Jesus was wrong. Much of what Jesus prophesied was fulfilled in the book of Acts and with the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in AD 70. But some of what he said could not have possibly occurred yet. In the midst of these prophesies are instructions for how to face the future as believers.2023-08-2127 min

Does mean we should add this word to the list of unsayable four-letter words? Not quite. Jesus in this passage is targeting the anger we so easily get in our hearts for others that erupts into insults.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronDavid Anointed King - 1 Samuel 161 Samuel chapter 16 has Samuel anointing David to be king. Samuel at first thinks he will be anointing the tall and strong son of Jesse until God says not to look at outward appearance. God looks at the heart. Nobody expected David would be chosen, but David was anointed in front of his other brothers. Samuel is grieved because his desires were not aligned with God's. Saul seeks artificial solutions to his spiritual problems, then enlists David into his service. Saul's replacement is right under his nose. The plot thickens.

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronCall No One "Father"? - Matthew 23:1-12Jesus said, "Call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ." Are we sinning if we call our human dads "father"? Can we not call our schoolteachers or professors "instructors"? Since Jesus uses "father" for human dads, this is one of those statements we are not meant to take strictly. He is talking about self-exaltation vs humility. God will honor those who humble themselves. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled. July 23, 2023 AM sermon at North Blendon Christian Reformed...2023-07-2437 min

Jonathan admits to eating honey and is willing to die for it. Saul is about to hand out the typical death sentence to his son when the soldiers intervene and Jonathan does not die.

Instead, turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, give to those who ask and love your enemies. It might seem like Jesus commands us to never defend ourselves. However, the command to love our enemies changes things. Jesus wants us to see is that while the rest of the world thinks only of this life, believers have an eternity of time, a heavenly inheritance and sharing Christ's own honor. When worldly people quibble about possessions or time or insults, believers can easily let things go. Believers have what is...2023-07-0339 min

From The Pulpit - sermons by Pastor AaronDid Jesus Say One Sin is Unforgivable? - Mark 3:22-30Forgiveness for sins is a major teaching of the Bible, but once Jesus mentions a sin that will not be forgiven: blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. This is variously known as the eternal sin, unforgivable sin, unpardonable sin or ultimate sin. Looking at the context of Jesus' words, a number of specifications need to be met for someone to have committed this sin. In short, if you feel troubled about possibly committing this sin, then you do not qualify. The overwhelming teaching of the Bible is that anyone believing in Jesus and turning from sin has forgiveness. ...2023-06-0528 min

The rich man walks away sad. Nearly everyone in the USA (among other places) would be in this man's income bracket. Does this demand extend to all of Jesus' followers? This is actually a lesson on salvation by grace alone. It is impossible for us to be good enough to inherit eternal life. However, we who are rich are not entirely off the hook.
