A Strangely Passionate World
We live in a world with strange passions. God’s wrath against the sinfulness of man is revealed in giving mankind over to their unnatural sinful passions: men and women engaging in homosexuality. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 1:26–27 on dishonorable passions, the world being ruled by unnatural desires, and how Christians are to respond.

A World of Impurity
Because man rejected God, God withdrew His restraining grace from them. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 1:24–25 on God giving man up because of man’s sin, God removing his restraining hand from man, and the vital need for a new heart.
“Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among…
The Blessing of Godly Parents
In Ephesians 6:1–3, the apostle Paul refers to the 5th commandment, connecting it to the children of believers. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Ephesians 6:1–3 on the promise of the 5th commandment in Moses’ and Jesus’ time, and the call to obey your parents and find eternal life. “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.”
Rest in God
Joshua did not give the people of God rest. Nor David. But Christ, the son of David, the son of God, having completed his work of redemption, has entered his rest, initiating the eternal Sabbath rest for the people of God. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Hebrews 3:12–4:11 on the failure of Moses and of Joshua to give rest, the victory of Christ on the…
The Great Departure
Man was made by the one true God to worship God alone. But fallen man has exchanged the living God for lifeless idols. Thus God is provoked and his wrath is revealed from heaven. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Romans 1:22-23 on the principle of worship, the worship of fools, and the worship of the wise.
“Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and…
The Way to God
Thomas asks an important question to Jesus, he asks: “how can we know the way?” He is speaking about the way to heaven, the way to God. There are many people who ask this question today, how can we go to heaven, what is the way to God? This Sunday evening we will answer this question through the words of Jesus in John 14:6.
Without Light There Is Only Darkness
Sinful man is like a beast before God. When man sinned, he lost his true purpose, his true knowledge of God, and his true love for God. But how may fallen man be restored to serving God with true knowledge, true purpose, and true love? Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 1:21 on man’s loss of honor, common sense, true love, and the only way…
The Knowledge of God in Creation
God’s wrath is revealed against mankind because they suppress the truth about God in unrighteousness. But are they without excuse because God is invisible? Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Romans 1:19—20 on how mankind can see the one true and living invisible God, how mankind can know about this one true God, and mankind’s responsibility for not…
The Wrath of God Revealed

And God has revealed his wrath from heaven “against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.” Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 1:18 on God’s truth known, suppressed, and God’s three-fold wrath upon earth.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all…

Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Psalm 99 on God’s majesty, justice, transcendency,…
