Sermons by Rev Rockhill (Page 5)
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” God’s fourth commandment is a creation gift of rest and worship that points us to the eternal rest we have in Christ.
Peter seizes a miracle to preach Christ: You killed the Prince of Life, yet in ignorance. Repent, and times of refreshing will come! (Acts 3:11–19)
God revealed His sacred name to Moses as ‘I AM.’ The Third Commandment calls us to honor that name in speech, worship, oaths, and life—or face solemn warning.
Jesus warns that tragedy is a call to repent, not to judge others. Like the barren fig tree given one final year, we live in a season of grace.
God is jealous for His worship. The Second Commandment demands we worship Him only as He has commanded—no additions, no images, no will-worship.
God named Cyrus 150 years before he was born to prove one thing: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.” The First Commandment demands we know, worship, and glorify Him alone.
A lame beggar asks for money, but Peter gives him something far greater: “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” Watch a lifetime of misery turn to leaping joy.
Acts 2:42–47 – What the earliest church devoted themselves to: teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. A model of joyful, generous, simple Christian community.
The moral law of God is still binding on all people and all believers. It is written on every heart and will be the final standard of judgment.
