Belgic Confession
Confessing Creation
With Psalm 8:1–9; Hebrews 1:1–14; Revelation 12:7–12, and with Article 12 of the Belgic Confession, we learn God created out of nothing the heavens and earth and all creatures with the purpose of glorifying Himself.

Confessing the Exclusivity of Scripture

Mr. Martijn Heijboer preaches the canon of Scripture, the authority of Scripture, and the distinction of Scripture.
Confessing the Inspiration and Preservation of Scripture
With 2 Peter 1:16-21, we will consider the truths of Article 3 of the Belgic Confession. We will learn the means God used to deliver His inspired Word to men and why the message is trustworthy today. Mr. Martijn Heijboer preaches the inspiration of Scripture and the preservation of Scripture.
God Revealing Himself to Us
With Psalm 19:1-14, we continue our series on the truths of the Belgic Confession, one of the three forms of unity cherished by many reformed churches. Mr. Martijn Heijboer preaches creation reveals that God exists and Scripture reveals who God is.
Confessing God
With Romans 1:18–25, we begin a series on the truths of the Belgic Confession, one of the three forms of unity held dear by many reformed churches. Mr. Martijn Heijboer preaches God made known and rejected, what we confess about God, and why we must confess Him rightly.
