The Heavenly Analysis of Mankind, Part I

The apostle Paul submits the verdict: All of mankind, “both Jews and Greeks, are under sin” and stand condemned before God, who are not born again.

The Kingdom of Generosity

The eighth commandment forbids stealing. How then should the Christian live?

In Romans 3:1–4, the apostle Paul explains the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God, but many were unfaithful.

The One upon the Throne and the Lamb

The apostle John is given an awesome, terrifying, and comforting vision of the heavenly throne room in Revelation 4 and 5. But this vision is also for the church today. Listen as Mr. Brandt Barnard preaches on the One seated upon the throne and the One standing as though slain. “And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all…

A Matter of the Heart

In Romans 2:25–29, the apostle Paul explains that being a Jew is a matter of the heart and not the body. A true Jew is one who has been circumcised in heart which is an inward and sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 2:25–29 on the meaning of being inwardly Jewish, the circumcision of the heart, and what it means to…

Eternally Secure in Christ

“Once saved, always saved.” Is this true? Can a Christian lose his or her salvation? What is salvation? Are you a Christian?
