King David

Matthew Henry, in his commentary, writes:

So, okay, I’ll admit I’m a little slow, but of late I’ve found myself beginning to like listening to Dr. R.C. Sproul’s sermons more and more.

What started it was catching his series Providence of God in which Dr. Sproul was so clear and precise with his explanation of God’s sovereignty and man’s freedom (especially in the sermon “What About Human Freedom?”). The other series that I loved was that on the life of King David.

I’m currently catching the video sermons on marriage from the National Conference 2006 DVD Collection - Bought With a Price.

If you have never heard of Dr. R.C. Sproul, check out his ministry — Ligonier Ministries, where you can listen in on the same audio sermons I’ve found helpful at the broadcast archives. The daily broadcast, Renewing Your Mind, can be accessed at OnePlace.com.

This is the second Shabbat that I have opted to feature a sermon instead of a song. This week, I will be sharing this short sermon by John MacArthur on how and why we should confess our sins with an exposition of Psalm 51. So, if you have your Bible at hand, join me as we listen together to John MacArthur teach.

I pray that you’ll blessed by this sermon as much as I have.

Shabbat Shalom.
