Worship Notes

Unashamedly Steadfast

If last week’s sermon text presented Paul reminiscing about the past, this week’s passage finds the Apostle looking to the future, confident that Christ will lead him in the way he should go. He urges Timothy to follow in the path set before him (vs. 13), the “holy calling” that the Lord has placed on his life (vs. 9). As…

Joy Across the Generations

Second Timothy, which Pastor Grant will be preaching through all this month, is traditionally regarded as Paul’s last letter. The opening passage finds the apostle reminiscing about his own spiritual heritage (vs. 3) as well as his young disciple’s (vs. 5). Like Paul reminding Timothy of the faith of his mother and grandmother, the Scripture readings and hymns chosen for…

The Gift of Knowing Eternal Life

I know that my redeemer lives, what comfort this sweet sentence gives.—Samuel Medley This year’s two sermon series have been a study in contrasts. After spending three months studying Exodus 20, and finding ourselves coming up woefully short of the law of God, these last two months in 1 John have provided such comfort and security. John writes to his…

Sola Scriptura

Frank Wonder is a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Tullahoma and was ordained as a Ruling Elder in 2006. In that capacity, he recently served as Chairman of their Pastor Search Committee, which conclude its work last year.

May the Circle Be Unbroken

There are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood and these three agree. —1 John 5:7-8 Today’s sermon text contains this striking poetic passage about “the Spirit and the water and the blood”—one that has caused no shortage of debates throughout church history. Are these “witnesses” to Christ’s incarnation? Is John referencing Jesus’ birth and death,…

The Fountain of Love

I’ll have to admit, when the task is to find hymns to complement a service focused on the passage “God is love” (1 John 4:8), the difficulty isn’t finding suitable material—it’s trying to narrow the material down! See if you notice some of the fantastic descriptions of God’s love in our hymnody this morning: it is “ineffable,” “wondrous,” an “immortal…

The Double Transaction

The central theme of this morning’s service is the doctrine of “double imputation.” In salvation, our sin is imputed (attributed) to Jesus while His righteousness is imputed to us—in the language of the old hymn, He both “saves from wrath” and “makes me pure” (Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me). Throughout the service, we’ll declare that He is our shield…

The Old, Old Story

In this morning’s sermon text, John contrasts truth with lies (1 John 2:21, 27). Addressing a fearful audience that is opposed by deceitful “antichrists” in the “last hour,” he urges his readers to hold fast to the truth of Christ, and comforts them with the knowledge that “what you heard from the beginning abides in you” (1 John 2:24). Because…
