FCC Sunday Sermon - Theology Proper: The Attributes of God (2 Peter 1:3-7)

In redemption, we are graciously enabled to partake of the divine nature (v4). This does not mean we become equal to God, but that we begin to reflect His character through godly living. But which aspects of God’s character are we to imitate? In this final study in theology proper, we explore the difference between God’s communicable attributes—those He enables us to reflect—and His incommunicable attributes, which belong to Him alone as the infinite Creator. Peter reminds us that this transformation is not self-produced, but flows from a true and living knowledge of God through Jesus Christ. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

FCC Sunday Sermon - Theology Proper: The Unmoody God (Acts 14:8-17)

Does God ever experience mood swings the way we do? If the Lord is immutable and cannot change, can anything in creation truly affect Him? In this study of divine impassibility, we consider what it means that God is “without passions,” why this truth is theologically necessary, firmly rooted in the language of Scripture, consistent with historic Christian faith, and deeply sanctifying for the believer, especially, with regard to our steadfastness and self-control. This doctrine also sheds light on why the incarnation was necessary for our salvation as well as the constancy of God’s love toward His elect and His hatred for sin. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

FCC Sunday Sermon - Faith Resting on God's Power (1 Cor. 2:1-5)

Paul’s message in 1 Corinthians 2:1–5 is that genuine faith must rest on God’s power, not human wisdom. In a culture obsessed with eloquence, status, and intellectual achievement, Paul deliberately rejected rhetorical showmanship and resolved to preach only Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Though he ministered in weakness, fear, and trembling, the Holy Spirit powerfully worked through Paul's gospel ministry to transform lives. Paul’s example teaches that God often displays His strength through human weakness. Therefore, believers should build their faith on Christ alone, trusting God’s power rather than personalities, performance, experiences, or human ability.   ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

FCC Sunday Sermon - Theology Proper: The Unchanging God (Ps. 102:25-27)

The LORD God is immutable. This is the resounding testimony of Scripture. As for statements that the LORD changed His mind, relented, or was sorry, these are anthropomorphic and anthropopathic descriptions of God. The immaterial, invisible, and immutable God does not literally undergo such changes. All of this reveals that the LORD is truly the everlasting Rock, and we can (and must!) place our trust in Him. May we learn to depend on Him, pray biblically, and cling to Him as the anchor who keeps us, especially through the storms of life. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
