The Book of Ezekiel (18): Salvation in the Midst of Judgment
Ezekiel 14:12-23 reveals how God strikes the nations with sword, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence, but spares those who fear Him like Noah, Daniel, and Job.

The Heidelberg Catechism (15): The Lord’s Costly Possession [Lord’s Day 13]
1 Cor. 6:12-20 reveals that Christians are not their own because they have been bought with a price, with the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christians belong to Jesus and are to serve Him only. And because Christians belong to Jesus, Jesus has promised His complete care for them. Listen…
The Book of Ezekiel (17): God-Minded Living
In Ezekiel 14:1-11, the Lord God reveals to the prophet that the elders and the people of Israel who seek help from God have set up idols in their heart. Will God hear their requests for help?

The Book of Ezekiel (15): Open Your Eyes to the Patience of God
In Ezekiel 12:1-28 and Matthew 24:36-51, God’s patient delay in judgment is taken advantage of by the wicked; yet God’s righteous judgment is not delayed and will come swiftly and finally. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven proclaims to the world, to the church, and to brothers and sisters, “Open your eyes…
The Book of Ezekiel (14): The Morning Light Dawning
In Ezekiel 11:1-25, false prophets proclaimed a misleading kind of hope, but God promises true hope that cleanses the heart and heals the whole man. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven describes the false “good” news that leads to destruction and the true good news that leads to life.
“I will give them…
The Heidelberg Catechism (13): The Power of True Christianity [Lord’s Day 11]
In Acts 4:1-22, Peter and John use the lame beggar to reveal the power of Jesus for all to see. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven presents the miraculous power, boldness, simplicity, and invitation to true Christianity. “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given…
The Book of Ezekiel (13): Turning Back to the Glory of God
In Ezekiel 10:1-22, Ezekiel sees the glory of the Lord depart from the temple. Churches who leave and do not return to their first love are in danger of seeing the glory of the Lord depart from them as well. Listen as Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on the departure of the glory of Yahweh from…
The Surpassing Worth of Christ
In Philippians 3:1-11, the apostle Paul explains how his great credentials became loss when compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus—he gave it all up to know Christ, and the power of Christ’s resurrection to attain his own resurrection into eternal life. Giving up his own credentials, he received the glorious credentials of Jesus. Listen as Rev. Paul van…
