  Banished From the Garden. Genesis 3:22-24. Sermon. 13.09.2026 33мин

  BANISHED FROM THE GARDEN | Genesis 3:22–24What happened when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden? And what does their banishment mean for us today?In Genesis 3:22–24, we come to the sobering conclusion of the Garden of Eden story. Adam and Eve are driven from Paradise, and cherubim with a flaming sword are placed at the entrance to guard the way to the Tree of Life. The door to Eden appears to be shut forever.But this passage contains not only bad news—it also points us toward glorious good news.In this sermon, we examine Genesis 3:22–24 verse by verse and consider:Why Adam and Eve were expelled from the GardenWhat it means that Adam had become “like one of us” in knowing good and evilWhether “us” refers to the Trinity or the heavenly angelic hostJohn Calvin’s fascinating interpretation of God’s “divine irony”What might have happened if Adam had eaten from the Tree of LifeWhether Adam was ultimately lost or savedThe difference between temporal chastisement and eternal punishmentWhy God’s discipline can actually be an instrument of graceThe significance of the cherubim and the flaming swordHow Eden’s imagery points forward to the Tabernacle and TemplePsalm 24 and the question, “Who will open the doors?”Jesus Christ as the Door and the only way back into ParadiseHow the flaming sword points us toward the cross of ChristAdam as the first man and Jesus Christ as the Second AdamThe relationship between Eden and the New Creation in Revelation 21–22Why we must seek to enter while the door is still openGenesis 3 ends with humanity living “east of Eden.” From this point forward, the biblical story will be filled with murder, violence, sin, suffering, and death. Yet the hope of redemption remains.The door that Adam could not reopen is ultimately opened by Jesus Christ.“I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved.” — John 10:9Christ is the way back into Paradise. We are banished by our works, but welcomed by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.Come by faith. Come by grace. Come while the door is open.📖 Scripture: Genesis 3:22–24🎙️ Preacher: Rev.

  John Calvin's AMAZING Years in Strasbourg 09.09.2026 20мин

  John Calvin’s years in Strasbourg were some of the most important—and often overlooked—years of his life. After being expelled from Geneva in 1538, Calvin spent several years in Strasbourg under the influence of the great Reformer Martin Bucer. Far from being a period of failure, these years became a season of remarkable pastoral, theological, and personal growth.In this video, we explore John Calvin in Strasbourg (1538–1541) and examine how this experience shaped the Reformer who would eventually return to Geneva with renewed confidence and a more mature vision for the church.We’ll look at:• Why Calvin was expelled from Geneva• His arrival in Strasbourg and relationship with Martin Bucer• Calvin’s ministry to French-speaking refugees• His pastoral ministry at St. Nicholas Church• Calvin’s preaching and worship practices in Strasbourg• The development of his liturgy and the French Psalter• Calvin’s marriage to Idelette de Bure• The tragic death of their son, Jacques• The dramatic expansion and revision of Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion• Calvin’s important commentary on Romans• How Strasbourg gave Calvin personal peace and renewed productivity• Why Geneva eventually pleaded for Calvin to return• How Calvin’s Strasbourg experience prepared him for his second ministry in GenevaThe Strasbourg years reveal a fascinating side of Calvin: not merely the controversial theologian of Geneva, but a pastor, husband, preacher, writer, and churchman whose experiences in Strasbourg profoundly shaped the remainder of his ministry.If you enjoy John Calvin, Reformation history, Reformed theology, church history, Presbyterianism, and the Protestant Reformation, this video will give you a deeper appreciation for one of the most formative periods in Calvin’s life.KEYWORDS: John Calvin, Calvin in Strasbourg, John Calvin Strasbourg, Calvin 1538 1541, Calvin biography, Calvin Geneva, Martin Bucer, Protestant Reformation, Reformation history, Reformed theology, Calvin Institutes, Institutes of Christian Religion, Calvin Romans commentary, Idelette de Bure, Calvin preaching, Calvin worship, Calvin liturgy, French Reformation, Strasbourg Reformation, Presbyterian history, church history, Reformed church history#JohnCalvin #Calvin #Reformation #ReformedTheology #ChurchHistory #MartinBucer #Strasbourg #ProtestantReformationJONATHAN EDWARDS STUDY BIBLE:Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Tp1bxpChristian Book: https://www.christianbook.com/apps/easyfind?Ntt=jonathan+edwards+study+bible&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG%7CPSEN&nav_search=1&cms=1&ps_exit=RETURN%7Clegacy&ps_domain=wwwBarnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-jonathan-edwards-study-bible-thomas-nelson/1148750961?ean=9781400339532Target: https://www.target.com/p/the-jonathan-edwards-study-bible-experience-abiding-joy-in-christ-nkjv-hardcover-red-letter-comfort-print-by-thomas-nelson-publishers/-/A-1007250791#lnk=sametabWal-Mart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Jonathan-Edwards-Study-Bible-Experience-Abiding-Joy-in-Christ-Nkjv-Hardcover-Red-Letter-Comfort-Print-Hardcover-9781400339532/18385609435?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

  Introduction to the Life and Ministry of Jonathan Edwards 08.09.2026 33мин

  Jonathan Edwards is one of the most important—and fascinating—figures in American Christian history. But who was Jonathan Edwards, really?In this lecture, Rev. Dr. Matthew Everhard explores the life and influence of Jonathan Edwards, the great Puritan theologian, pastor, revivalist, missionary, philosopher, and theologian of the eighteenth century.Edwards lived from 1703–1758 and became one of the central figures of the First Great Awakening. He is perhaps best known for his famous sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, but his influence extends far beyond revival preaching. Edwards produced profound works on Christian spirituality, revival, philosophy, ethics, theology, missions, and the nature of true religious experience.Edwards was much more than the preacher of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” He was a polymath whose intellectual and theological influence reached across pastoral ministry, revival, missions, philosophy, ethics, science, and systematic theology.Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones famously compared Edwards to Mount Everest among the Puritans, highlighting the extraordinary breadth and depth of his intellect and theology.If you want to understand Jonathan Edwards, the First Great Awakening, Puritan theology, Calvinism, Christian revival, and the history of American Christianity, this lecture provides a comprehensive introduction to his life and enduring influence.📖 Jonathan Edwards Study BibleLearn more about Jonathan Edwards and his theology through the Jonathan Edwards Study Bible.👍 If you found this video helpful, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with others interested in Reformed theology, church history, Puritanism, and Christian spirituality.#JonathanEdwards #GreatAwakening #ReformedTheology #Puritan #Calvinism #ChurchHistory #ChristianHistory #SinnersInTheHandsOfAnAngryGod #JonathanEdwardsStudyBible #ReformedTheology #Christianity #TheologyJONATHAN EDWARDS STUDY BIBLE:Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Tp1bxpChristian Book: https://www.christianbook.com/apps/easyfind?Ntt=jonathan+edwards+study+bible&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG%7CPSEN&nav_search=1&cms=1&ps_exit=RETURN%7Clegacy&ps_domain=wwwBarnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-jonathan-edwards-study-bible-thomas-nelson/1148750961?ean=9781400339532Target: https://www.target.com/p/the-jonathan-edwards-study-bible-experience-abiding-joy-in-christ-nkjv-hardcover-red-letter-comfort-print-by-thomas-nelson-publishers/-/A-1007250791#lnk=sametabWal-Mart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Jonathan-Edwards-Study-Bible-Experience-Abiding-Joy-in-Christ-Nkjv-Hardcover-Red-Letter-Comfort-Print-Hardcover-9781400339532/18385609435?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

  Covered by Grace. Genesis 3:20-21. Sermon. 06.09.2026 34мин

  Covered by Grace | Genesis 3:20–21 | The Gospel in the Garden of EdenWhat does clothing have to do with the gospel?In Genesis 3:20–21, immediately after Adam and Eve’s fall into sin, we encounter two remarkable signs of God’s grace. Eve is named “the mother of all living,” and God Himself makes garments of skins and clothes Adam and Eve. In the midst of judgment, God displays mercy.In this sermon, we explore the profound biblical theology of clothing, nakedness, shame, substitution, and righteousness. Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with fig leaves, but their own efforts could never adequately cover their sin and shame. Instead, God provides a covering—and that covering comes through the death of another.This points forward to the great doctrine of imputed righteousness: sinners cannot stand before a holy God on the basis of their own righteousness. We need the righteousness of another—the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ, received by grace through faith.We will consider:• Genesis 3:20–21 and the surprising grace of God after the Fall• Why Adam and Eve needed to be clothed• The theological significance of the garments of skin• Penalty substitution and the principle of one dying for another• The difference between inherent righteousness and imputed righteousness• Justification by grace through faith alone• The biblical theme of clothing and nakedness throughout Scripture• Zechariah 3 and Joshua’s filthy garments• The wedding garment in Matthew 22• Why Jesus condemned the religious “clothing” of the Pharisees• Why our good works cannot cover our sin• How Christ becomes our perfect covering and righteousnessThe message of Genesis 3:20–21 ultimately points us beyond Adam and Eve to Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, who died for sinners so that those who trust in Him might be clothed in His righteousness.We do not need to manufacture our own covering. We need to be covered by grace.📖 Scripture: Genesis 3:20–21🎙️ Preacher: Matthew Everhard📅 September 6, 2026“For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness.” — Isaiah 61:10#Genesis3 #CoveredByGrace #ImputedRighteousness #Justification #Gospel #JesusChrist #ReformedTheology #BibleSermon #SubstitutionaryAtonement #Grace #Genesis #FallOfMan

  Five Denominations I Trust: And a Few that I Don't 04.09.2026 17мин

  In this video, I will go over several Christian denominations that I trust and a few that I don't. Since I am a Reformed pastor, I will focus primarily on denominations in my own tradition, including Presbyterian, Reformed, and Baptist churches. I will also share some concerns with each one, showing their Achilles' Heel, as well as their Secret Sauce! Then I will turn my aim against a couple of denominations that I don't really trust very much. Even here, though, I will try to say a couple nice things!

  David's Mighty Men: Bible Study on 2 Samuel 23:8-39 01.09.2026 30мин

  David’s Mighty Men: Courage, Loyalty, and Faithfulness | 2 Samuel 23Who were David’s Mighty Men? In 2 Samuel 23:8–39 and 1 Chronicles 11:11–47, we meet some of the most remarkable warriors in the Old Testament—including Josheb-basshebeth, Eleazar, Shammah, Abishai, and Benaiah.These men demonstrated extraordinary courage, loyalty, resolve, and perseverance as they fought alongside King David. But their stories point to something even greater: the sovereignty and power of God who gives the victory.In this Bible study, we examine the remarkable exploits of David’s Mighty Men and consider what their example teaches us about serving the Lord today.Among the questions we explore:• Who were David’s Mighty Men?• Who were the famous Three, and who were the Thirty?• What did Josheb-basshebeth accomplish with his spear?• How did Eleazar stand against the Philistines when others fled?• What did Shammah defend?• Who were the three men who risked their lives to bring David water from Bethlehem?• Why did David pour the water out instead of drinking it?• Who was Abishai?• Why was Benaiah so remarkable?• What can David’s Mighty Men teach us about courage, resolve, and perseverance?• How does this passage point us ultimately to Jesus Christ?The Mighty Men were willing to tackle great challenges, refuse excuses, persevere through difficulty, and risk everything for something greater than themselves. Yet Scripture repeatedly reminds us that God is the One who brings the victory.As Matthew Henry observed, however great the bravery of the instruments may be, the praise for the achievement belongs to God.Most importantly, the Mighty Men point us beyond themselves to Christ—the perfectly courageous King who loved His people, obeyed His Father, endured suffering, and gave Himself for the sake of His Kingdom.Be among the Lord’s Mighty Men.📖 Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:8–39; 1 Chronicles 11:11–47; Hebrews 11:32–38#David #DavidsMightyMen #BibleStudy #2Samuel #OldTestament #Christianity #BiblicalCourage #Benaiah #Eleazar #Shammah #Josheb #ReformedTheology #BibleTeaching #ChristianMen #Courage #Faithfulness

  Proto-Gospel: The First Prophecy of Christ. Genesis 3:14-16. [Sermon]. 23.08.2026 35мин

  What is the first prophecy of Jesus Christ in the Bible? In Genesis 3:14–16, immediately after the Fall, God announces both judgment and the first Gospel promise—the protoevangelium (proto-Gospel).In this sermon, we explore the judgment of the serpent and the woman, the promise of the coming Messiah, and the dramatic prophecy that the serpent would bruise the Messiah’s heel while the Messiah would crush the serpent’s head. Genesis 3:15 points forward to Christ’s suffering, death, resurrection, and ultimate victory over Satan.We also consider the biblical meaning of the curse on the serpent, the consequences of sin, humility versus humiliation, the difficulties introduced into marriage by the Fall, and the remarkable mercy of God even in the midst of judgment. Most importantly, we see how Jesus Christ—the true Messiah and invincible Warrior—fulfills the promise of Genesis 3.In this sermon:• Genesis 3:14–16 explained• The Proto-Gospel / Protoevangelium• The serpent and the curse of sin• “He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel”• Satan’s attack against Christ• Christ’s death and resurrection• The promise of the Messiah born of a woman• Genesis 3:16 and marriage after the Fall• Humility, repentance, and the consequences of sin• The connection between Achilles’ heel and Christ’s victoryGenesis 3 is a chapter of judgment—but it is also a chapter of extraordinary Gospel hope. The serpent strikes the heel, but Christ crushes the head.Scripture: Genesis 3:14–16Theme: The Proto-Gospel — The First Prophecy of Jesus Christ#Genesis3 #JesusChrist #ProtoGospel #Protoevangelium #Genesis #Bible #Gospel #Jesus #Satan #Christianity #ReformedTheology #BiblicalPreaching #Sermon

  Open Letter to Presbyterians for the Kingdom (Redeemed Zoomer followers) 21.08.2026 39мин

  In this open letter to Presbyterians for the Kingdom and followers of Redeemed Zoomer, Matthew Everhard offers both encouragement and serious critique of the movement’s efforts to reform the PCUSA. He addresses concerns about mission creep, schism, relationships with the PCA and OPC, church discipline, theological compromise, and strategy for genuine Presbyterian renewal. He also offers a positive vision centered on Christ, faithful preaching, evangelism, catechesis, prayer, and the hope of Christ’s kingdom advancing.#Presbyterians for the Kingdom #Redeemed Zoomer #PCUSA #PCA #OPC #Reformed Theology #Presbyterianism #Church Reform #Church History #Postmillennialism

  Evangelist from Pilgrim's Progress: Character Analysis 18.08.2026 20мин

  Get Pilgrim's Progress: https://amzn.to/4hB3HuwEvangelist in The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Character AnalysisWho is Evangelist in John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress? Why does this seemingly mysterious character appear at some of the most important moments in Christian’s journey?In this video, we take a closer look at Evangelist, one of the most important—and often overlooked—figures in The Pilgrim’s Progress. Evangelist repeatedly appears when Christian is in danger, confused, tempted, or facing a moment of spiritual crisis. He warns, rebukes, encourages, and points Christian back to the right path.We will examine three major scenes involving Evangelist:The City of Destruction — Evangelist warns Christian to “flee wrath to come,” gives him the scroll, and points him toward the Wicket Gate.Mount Sinai — After Christian is deceived by Mr. Worldly Wiseman and turns toward Legality, Evangelist rebukes him and redirects him away from legalism and self-righteousness.Vanity Fair — Evangelist warns Christian and Faithful about persecution, suffering, and the dangers of the world, the flesh, and the Devil.Along the way, we will consider Evangelist's piercing questions, his warnings about death, judgment, and hell, his rebuke of worldly wisdom, and his call to persevere faithfully to the end.Perhaps most importantly, Evangelist functions throughout Bunyan’s story much like a pastor or missionary: he warns, guides, and directs Christian, but he cannot walk Christian’s journey for him. He appears at moments of crisis and urgency, reminding us that the Christian life requires perseverance, vigilance, and steadfast faith.If you love John Bunyan, The Pilgrim’s Progress, Christian literature, church history, Reformed theology, Puritan theology, or Christian character studies, this video will help you see one of Bunyan’s most significant characters in a new way.Keywords: The Pilgrim's Progress, Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan, Evangelist Pilgrim's Progress, Evangelist character analysis, Christian character analysis, Christian literature, Puritan literature, John Bunyan Evangelist, Evangelist in Pilgrim's Progress, City of Destruction, Mount Sinai Pilgrim's Progress, Vanity Fair Pilgrim's Progress, Mr. Worldly Wiseman, Christian allegory, Reformed theology, Puritan theology, Christian perseverance, Christian life, Bunyan#PilgrimsProgress #JohnBunyan #ChristianLiterature #Puritan #ReformedTheologyChapters

  Adam, Where are You? Genesis 3:8-13. [Sermon]. 16.08.2026 39мин

  Camouflage in the Kingdom: When Sin Makes Us Hide from God | Genesis 3:8–13Why do we hide when we sin?In Genesis 3:8–13, Adam and Eve have just eaten the forbidden fruit, and the devastating consequences of the Fall immediately begin to unfold. Instead of walking openly with God, Adam and Eve hide among the trees of the garden. They cover themselves with fig leaves, become afraid of God, shift blame, and attempt to evade responsibility for their sin.In this sermon from Genesis 3, we examine Sin’s Terrible Cost, Sin’s Evasive Tactics, and Sin’s Only Remedy.God asks Adam four penetrating questions: Where are you? Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree? What have you done? These questions expose the human tendency to hide from God, blame others, deceive ourselves, and refuse to take responsibility for our sin.But these questions are not merely questions of judgment. They also point us toward mercy. Instead of hiding behind our own righteousness, good works, religion, or self-improvement, we must come into the light and find our covering in Jesus Christ.The terrible cost of unrepentant sinWhy sin disrupts our fellowship and walk with GodWhy sinners attempt to hide from an omniscient GodHow sin produces fear, blame-shifting, and self-deceptionThe noetic effects of the Fall—how sin affects our minds and reasoningWhy Adam's fig leaves could never adequately cover his guiltThe difference between hiding in shame and being clothed in ChristHow Genesis 3 points forward to the Redeemer, Jesus ChristWhy our ultimate hope must be found not in what we have done, but in what Christ has doneBiblical Text: Genesis 3:8–13Sermon Title: Camouflage in the KingdomPreacher: Dr. Matthew EverhardDate: August 16, 2026You were not made to hide.

  NKJV vs. Everybody: Why the New King James may be the BEST English Translation 14.08.2026 24мин

  Is the New King James Version (NKJV) the best English Bible translation available today? In this video, I make the case that it just might be.I love and use multiple Bible translations—including the ESV, KJV, LSB, NASB, and Geneva Bible—but the NKJV has a unique combination of readability, theological precision, textual transparency, historical continuity, and available study resources.In this video, I compare the NKJV vs. KJV, NIV, LSB, ESV, NRSV, NASB, CSB, NLT, and The Message, explaining where I believe the NKJV has significant advantages.Among the topics we cover:• Why the NKJV may be better than the King James Version for modern readability• Why the NKJV preserves more technical theological terminology than translations such as the NIV• The NKJV vs. LSB and the importance of Bible resources and study editions• The NKJV vs. ESV and the differences between the Textus Receptus and modern critical text traditions• Why some New Testament passages appear in the main text of the NKJV but are footnoted in the ESV• The NKJV vs. NRSV and the question of gender-neutral translation• Why I believe the NKJV has the best textual footnotes of any English Bible translation• The NKJV vs. NASB• Why I'm not convinced the CSB offers enough distinctives to justify its place among major English translations• Why the NLT and The Message are too paraphrastic for my preferred approach to Bible translation• The importance of historical continuity in the English Bible translation tradition• Why the NKJV remains an especially useful choice for serious Bible studyImportant: This video isn't an argument for King James Onlyism. I regularly use multiple translations and believe Christians are tremendously blessed to have so many excellent English Bibles available.So, what is the best Bible translation? And where does the NKJV fit among today's most popular English translations?Let me know in the comments: What Bible translation do you use—and why?#NKJV #BibleTranslation #NewKingJamesVersion #BibleStudy #KJV #ESV #NASB #LSB #NIV #ReformedTheology #BibleStudyTips #JonathanEdwards #Christianity #BibleChapters00:00 Is the NKJV the Best English Bible Translation?01:15 Why I Use Multiple Bible Translations03:38 NKJV vs. KJV05:44 NKJV vs. NIV08:06 NKJV vs. LSB10:47 NKJV vs. ESV13:09 NKJV vs. NRSV15:06 NKJV vs. NASB15:54 The NKJV's Excellent Textual Footnotes17:37 NKJV vs. CSB20:30 NKJV vs. NLT22:38 NKJV vs. The Message23:42 Why I Prefer the NKJV24:00 The Jonathan Edwards Study Bible

  You Have an Enemy | Genesis 3:1 | The Reality of Satan's Deception (Sermon) 26.07.2026 42мин

  You Have an Enemy | Genesis 3:1 | The Reality of Satan's DeceptionYou have an enemy—and he is far more dangerous than most people realize.In this expositional sermon on Genesis 3:1, Pastor Matthew Everhard examines the shocking entrance of Satan into the biblical story. Why does the serpent suddenly appear in the Garden of Eden? Where did Satan come from? What does the Bible actually teach about his fall? And how can Christians recognize and resist his schemes today?Drawing from Genesis 3, along with passages from Luke, Job, Jude, 2 Peter, Ephesians, Revelation, and James, this sermon explores the biblical doctrine of Satan, spiritual warfare, temptation, and God's absolute sovereignty over evil.Topics include:The origin and fall of SatanWhy the serpent appears in Genesis 3Satan's strategies against believersHow the devil twists God's WordSpiritual warfare according to ScriptureThe armor of God (Ephesians 6)God's sovereignty over SatanWhy God permitted the FallHow Christ has conquered sin, death, and the devilEven though Christians face a real spiritual enemy, believers have an even greater Savior. Jesus Christ has defeated Satan through His life, death, and resurrection, and every believer can stand firm in His victory.Scripture: Genesis 3:1If this message encouraged you, please:👍 Like the video💬 Leave a comment📤 Share it with a friend🔔 Subscribe for more biblical preaching, Reformed theology, church history, and Christian worldview content.#Genesis3 #Satan #SpiritualWarfare #BibleStudy #ReformedTheology #ChristianLiving #Genesis #Temptation #ArmorOfGod #JonathanEdwards #Presbyterian #ExpositoryPreaching #MatthewEverhard #PCA #BiblicalTheology
