Jul 25, 2021Carl Helmuth – Psalm 73By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The PsalmsPsalm 73Teachable Themes of Psalm 73 - God’s providence is constant, yet rarely understood by the human mind and reason. God’s people will sometimes doubt, but He always upholds them. - We will never know truth by seeing it; rather by only trusting in divine revelation. - Our evaluation of all things is incomplete without holding it up to the backdrop of eternity. - Meeting regularly to worship God in His sanctuary (church) produces clarity in the battle between truth and lie. - Envy is a temptation that is disarmed by being satisfied in the Lord. - Because God truly is good to His people.

Jul 18, 2021Carl Helmuth – Psalm 63By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The Whole Counsel of GodPsalm 63Three Components that Produce a Longing for God 1. Love for God comes by first receiving His love for us. - David first received loving kindness from God. 2. Love for God comes by removing all other “gods”. - In the wilderness, David’s love for God was revealed, tested and strengthened. 3. Love for God comes from a confident hope for the future. - David looked ahead to what he knew would happen.

Jul 11, 2021Carl Helmuth – Psalm 38 & 32By: (All)Series: (All)Psalm 38 & 32Learning From David About Dealing With Our Sin 1. Sin is serious because it is against God. - it is rebellion against Him personally. - it is falling short of His requirements. - it defiles and corrupts His image in us. - it breaks our fellowship with Him. - it causes eternal separation from God for those who refuse to repent.2. Sin is serious because it can impact every part of our being/life. - soul (heart, mind, will and emotions) - body (sickness and even death) (1 Cor. 11:30) - conscience - relationships (friends and enemies) For the believer, God intends the sorrow caused by sin to bring us to repentance and reconciliation.3. Sin is serious because there is only one possible solution...and God had to die to provide it. Blessed is the one: - who owns their sin (and all its results). - who humbly, repentantly, confesses it openly to God. - who entrusts themselves to the mercy of God. - whose righteousness is by faith in Jesus Christ. When we bring people to the cross, we love them. When we give them any other option, we hate them.

Jun 27, 2021Carl Helmuth – Psalm 16By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The PsalmsPsalm 16Verse 2 - David recognizes: “You, LORD are my Master.” “I am the Your servant.”Verse 2 - David recognizes: “The LORD is all-sufficient within Himself. Plus, I have no good of which I could bring to Him.” “I petition Him only because of His loving kindness. I cannot give Him anything in exchange to earn it.” This is grace through faith alone.Verse 3 - David recognizes: While the LORD is all-sufficient, He loves His people. He does delight in His people. “I also love, serve and delight in His people.”Verse 4 - David recognizes: “There is only one God who is worthy of my worship. You alone have power to grant my request. In You alone is joy.” “I will not turn to any other.”

Jun 13, 2021Carl Helmuth – Division In The ChurchBy: Carl HelmuthSeries: (All)Division In The ChurchWhat would the Apostle Paul say about the divisions that are happening today in the Church? 1. Division is caused by those who do not grow up in the faith but remain spiritually immature.Paul’s Solution: 1) Grow up in knowledge. 2) Grow up in our reverence in worship.2. Division is caused by those who follow the word of men rather than the word of God.Paul’s Solution: 1) Settle disputes and disagreements on the authority of scripture alone. - this means having a high view of scripture. - this means seeing scripture as sufficient.3. Division is caused by being ignorant of how unrepentant sin destroys a church or a person. Paul’s Solution: 1) Be a church that deals redemptively with sin by calling all to repent and be forgiven, and by removing those who refuse repentance. 2) Preach Christ as the Passover Lamb, slain for the forgiveness of our sins.4. Some division is necessary because there are unbelievers in the Church. Paul’s Solution: 1) Some divisions in the Church are unavoidable. - there MUST be some factions in the church because there are goats within the sheep.5. Division is caused by not understanding what unites us. Paul’s Solution: 1) It is our union with Christ that unites us. - The true Church is divided as much as Christ is divided. 2) We are to regard one another as we regard Christ, and not according to the flesh."

Led by A New Moses Jesus Christ: The Greater Israel - Jesus came to be a perfect representative of His people,...to do everything that they failed to do,...in order to accomplish “THE EXODUS” on their behalf. Who mediates A New Covenant A covenant that is: - Unconditional (dependent on God alone) - Perfect in its removal of sin - Christ powered (by the Spirit) - Eternally permanent To bring about A New Creation Not just a resurrection

May 23, 2021Carl Helmuth – The Whole Counsel of God – Exodus 13-14 – The Crossing (Part 6)By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The Whole Counsel of GodExodus 13-14 - The Crossing (Part 6)Ten Thoughts About The Crossing Of The Sea 1. Nothing is impossible for the LORD. 2. Let us never think that it is too late, and that God will not prevail or keep His promises. 3. This entire drama was designed and orchestrated by the LORD - For His glory and the salvation of His people. 4. Israel SAW this and yet COULD NOT believe. - We only hear/read, and yet we can believe. 1. This shows the power of the New Covenant. 2. This shows the power of the word of God. 5. Jesus Christ is pictured in so many different ways in the Passover and Crossing, - it demonstrates that all of scripture is about Him. 6. Many believers need to reform their view of sin’s bondage and Satan’s power in their lives. 7. The unbelief of the Israelites is stunning when you consider that God saved them in spite of it. 8. We may need to develop a more a militant view of God dealing with and destroying His enemies. 9. Death will eventually separate Israel from Egypt. - or wheat/tares; sheep/goats; wheat/chaff 10. This is really a picture of Christ’s resurrection. - It is through the gift of imputation that God credits us for being with Him as He died and lived again.

May 16, 2021Carl Helmuth – The Whole Counsel of God – Exodus 13-14 – The Crossing (Part 5)By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The Whole Counsel of GodExodus 13-14 - The Crossing (Part 5)Trusting God means...Being Separated by Christ from the World Five Points of Separation 1. Separation of Revelation - The World without God is in darkness...and is foolish and futile in their thinking. - The people of God were separated from the world by the light of God’s revelation. - Trusting God means...We STOP trusting the “wisdom” of the world. 2. Separation of Worship - The World without God...is foolish and futile because...they worship other gods. - The two camps were illuminated or darkened according to the gods they worshipped. - Trusting God means...We STOP trusting in the world’s gods 3. Separation of Receiving Mercy - The World is under the judgment of God, and is being given over to even greater evil. - The difference between the two camps was not in the goodness of the people, but whether God offered mercy, or if He hardened. - Trusting God means...We trust in His mercy to keep us from evil. 4. Separation of Christ Himself - Between the world and the Church...Christ has stationed Himself. - The people of God were separated from the world by Christ Himself. - Trusting God means...We trust in Christ as our Defender. 5. Separation of Ultimate Victory - The world has been conquered by...Christ and His Church. - The people of God were separated from the world by the eternal victory won by Christ. - Trusting God means...We trust that He has overcome the world.

May 2, 2021Carl Helmuth – The Whole Counsel of God – Exodus 13-14 – The Crossing (Part 3)By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The Whole Counsel of GodExodus 13-14 - The Crossing (Part 3)Learning to Trust God Completely 1. We must LEARN to trust God. - God is teaching His people to trust Him. 1a. We learn that He is faithful and keeps His word - Titus 1:2, Heb. 6:18, Num. 23:19, Ps. 89:34 1b. We learn that He has the power to keep His word. - Is. 14:24-27, Matt. 19:26, Job 42:2, Is. 46:9-11 1c. We learn that He has all wisdom, so His plan is always best. - Rom. 11:33-36, Is. 40:13-14, Is. 55:6-11 1d. We learn that He loves His children and will never leave them or forsake them. - Matt. 28:20, Heb. 13:5, Deut. 31:6, Joshua 1:5 1e. We learn that death with Christ is much better than life without Him. - Ps. 73:25-26, Ps. 84:10-11, Ps. 63:3, Phil. 3:7-11 2. We must learn to trust God IN ALL THINGS. - God purposely guides His people into the worst possible position, so that He alone can save them. 3. We must learn to trust that God is doing something larger than we can see or imagine. - God is doing many ‘big things’ through their predicament. - He is setting a trap for Pharaoh in order to destroy Him. - He is making so His people can proceed without fear. - He is protecting His firstborn Son (the Seed of the woman). - He is protecting the entire Gospel that will save many. - He is directing a drama for His future Church to read about and thereby produce faith in them. - He is casting a foreshadow of the cross and resurrection. - He is doing mighty work in order to produce fear in the hearts of the future enemies of Israel. - He is gaining glory for Himself before all the earth. 4. We must learn that this is the pattern of this ‘now-but-not-yet’ Kingdom...Victory comes out of defeat. - Life comes out of death; - New comes out of old; - Blessing comes out of cursing; 5. We must learn that having to trust God is the very place where He wants us to be, because our faith in Him honors Him. - God is engineering the entire ‘Exodus’ for His own glory.

Apr 18, 2021Carl Helmuth – The Whole Counsel of God – Exodus 13-14 – The Crossing (Part 1)By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The Whole Counsel of GodExodus 13-14 - The Crossing (Part 1)Five Areas of Learning from the OT: 1. Learn the historical narrative. 2. See each passage in light of the “grand story of redemption”. 3. Learn about the greatness of our God. 4. Learn faith lessons from men of faith (or from men of no faith). 5. Types and Shadows of the Gospel and NT doctrines. Our Attitude While Reading Scripture Should be: 1. The Scriptures are the Father's means of the Spirit revealing Jesus to you so you can know God. 2. Since both the Bible and Jesus are the Father’s communication to you, believe and receive them as such. 3. Whenever the Bible is read, taught, or preached, you should listen to it as you would listen to Jesus. 4. Rely on the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible so that you can understand Jesus. 5. Recognize that the Spirit of God brought both the incarnated Word and the inscripturated Word to the world. 6. You should regard both the Scriptures and Jesus as holy. 7. However, you should always treat the Bible as the means and Christ as the end.

Apr 11, 2021Carl Helmuth – The Whole Counsel of God – Exodus 12-13 – The PassoverBy: Carl HelmuthSeries: The Whole Counsel of GodExodus 12-13 – The PassoverThe Passover Teaches About The Gospel 1. The ACTUAL blood of the Lamb saved them. - Saving faith looks to an ACTUAL Savior. - It was not the strength of their faith that saved them. It was the object of their faith – the blood. - Therefore,... We do not strengthen our faith by focusing on it... We strengthen our faith by focusing on Christ. 2. We are to eat (believe) the Lamb with urgency; - Quickly obeying what the Lord reveals is His top priority. 3. We are to take removing leaven (sin) seriously. - Imputed righteousness of Christ in me. - Practical righteous of sanctification The LORD is very interested in your sanctification: - because it glorifies Him. - because it makes you like Christ. - because it prepares you for the future plans He has for you, both in this life and the next. - Heb. 11:35; 2 Cor. 4:17; Matt. 25:21; Luke 19:17; Gal. 6:9; 1 Cor. 6:3 4. We are to remember and celebrate God’s deliverance. - Forgetting what God has done leads to idolatry. - Forgetting that we have been saved, leads to forgetting our Savior. - Forgetting that we’ve been forgiven of sin, leads to sin (ungratefulness, self-centeredness, etc.) - Remembering what Christ has done for us, produces love, gratefulness, righteousness, etc. 5. There are only Two major differences between Israel and Egypt: A. Israel received the revelation from God that brought about their salvation. B. Israel was the covenanted people of God. - Circumcision separated them from Egypt. - Real circumcision is circumcision of the heart - it is meant to be spiritual not physical.
