• His Love of Her Love
    Jan 22 2026
    What does Christ think of His church on their wedding day? Song of Songs 4:8–15 prepares us for the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these eight verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Christ delights in His church's presence with Him, and in her He takes great pleasure. The devotional unfolds the profound intimacy between Christ and His church, portrayed through the Song of Songs, emphasizing that the Lord's greatest delight is His bride's love—expressed in heart, word, and deed. Central to this union is the image of the bride as a sealed garden and fountain, a private, sacred space of divine pleasure, yet one that overflows with life-giving fruit for others.

  • Watch Out for Babbling Fools
    Jan 21 2026
    What is dangerous, like an angry king? Ecclesiastes 10:11–15 prepares us for the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that a talking fool is dangerous, like an angry king. This passage presents a sobering portrait of the fool as a dangerous and self-destructive figure whose speech leads inevitably to ruin, likened to a venomous serpent that strikes when uncharmed, requiring expert handling. The fool's words, marked by endless babbling and reckless prognostication, begin in folly and end in madness, ultimately entombing both himself and those who follow him. The passage calls believers to discernment, urging them to recognize the marks of folly—excessive speech and false predictions.

  • The Origin of All Your Sin
    Jan 19 2026
    Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 36—especially explaining how our sin in Adam is both our first sin and the origin of all of our other sins. Q36. What is that sinful nature which we inherit from Adam called? Original sin. The lesson centers on the doctrine of original sin, emphasizing that humanity's sinfulness, contracted in Adam, is not merely a pattern of behavior but our very nature, which is inherently corrupt and deserving of divine judgment. The teaching challenges the notion that mere desires or inclinations are innocent, affirming instead that even the inclination to sin is sinful and requires forgiveness. The remedy is found in being transferred from the first Adam into the second Adam—Jesus Christ—Whose righteousness is both imputed to our account and imparted to our character.

  • Covenantally Blessed
    Jan 19 2026
    What are the obligations and benefits of covenant with God? Deuteronomy 28:1–14 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these fourteen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that covenant with God obligates us to obey Him Himself, and promises us the blessing of Him Himself. This devotional centers on the conditional blessings promised in Deuteronomy 28:1–14, where obedience to God's commandments results in material prosperity, national supremacy, and spiritual holiness. The ultimate fulfillment of these blessings is not in temporal prosperity alone, but in the eternal reality of the new heavens and new earth, where God Himself is the source and substance of all blessing. The call is to recognize Christ as King, to receive all good things with gratitude, and to know God Himself as our supreme blessedness in every blessing, and even amid hardship.
