  • Christ and the Law: Fulfillment, Not Abolition

    Christ and the Law: Fulfillment, Not Abolition
    Oct 20 2025
    In this sermon, Reverend Jack Hamilton continues his exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Christ's words in Matthew 5:17–20: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Hamilton contrasts the ceremonial and judicial laws, fulfilled and set aside in Christ, with the enduring moral law that reflects God's holy character. He emphasizes that the law exposes sin, drives us to Christ as our only hope, and remains the standard of righteousness. Believers are called to live not by legalism, but by grace that produces obedience, love for God, and love for neighbor. Key Themes: • The Sermon on the Mount as God's description of true Christian character • Christ's fulfillment of the law: ceremonial, judicial, and moral distinctions • The Ten Commandments as the unchanging moral law of God • The law as a mirror of sin and a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ (Romans 3, Galatians 3) • Righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees—an inward purity vs. outward appearance • Grace does not abolish the law but empowers obedience • Love for God and love for neighbor as the fulfillment of the law (Mark 12, Romans 13) • Danger of antinomianism (misusing grace as license to sin) • Christ's substitution: our sins imputed to Him, His righteousness imputed to us (2 Corinthians 5:21) • The believer's obligation to live in holiness, reflecting God's character

    You Are the Light of the World
    Oct 18 2025
    In this sermon, Reverend Jack Hamilton continues his exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Christ's words, "You are the light of the world." He traces the theme of light throughout Scripture—from creation in Genesis, to Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians, to Christ's words in John—showing how believers are called out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Hamilton exhorts Christians to reflect Christ's light through holy living, fellowship with God's Word, and a life distinct from the world. He warns against compromise with darkness and urges believers to let their light shine before men, so that others may glorify God. Key Themes: • The Sermon on the Mount as discipleship, not mere profession • Believers as the "light of the world" (Matthew 5:14–16) • The contrast between darkness and light (Genesis 1, 2 Corinthians 4, John 3 & 8) • Salvation as God shining light into the heart • The practical call to holiness and separation from darkness • Fellowship with God, His Word, and His people as "light-related things" • The church as a chosen people called into God's marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9) • Walking as children of light in a dark world (Ephesians 5, 1 Thessalonians 5) • Good works as the fruit—not the cause—of salvation • Evangelistic urgency: shining light so others may see and believe

  • Once for All: Remembering Christ's Finished Work

    Once for All: Remembering Christ's Finished Work
    Jul 17 2025
    In this powerful message centered on Hebrews chapters 9 and 10, Reverend Jack Hamilton emphasizes the complete and sufficient sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Drawing from the imagery of the Old Testament and the New Covenant, he contrasts the temporary atonement of animal sacrifices with the eternal redemption brought by Christ's single offering. Through the observance of the Lord's Supper, Hamilton calls believers to remember not their sins, but the Savior who bore them — once and for all. He urges listeners to rest in Christ's finished work and abandon any attempt to earn God's favor through works, highlighting that salvation is by faith alone. Key Themes: *Christ's once-for-all sacrifice *The insufficiency of Old Testament offerings *The symbolism and importance of the Lord's Supper *God's invitation into His presence through Christ *The futility of works-based righteousness *Assurance of salvation through faith *Living in light of Christ's finished work Key Quotes from Reverend Jack Hamilton: "There's enough truth in that verse to save the whole wide world." "The wrath of God already passed over — at Calvary." "He sat down because there was nothing else to do — it was finished." "The hardest thing in the world is to simply believe in the Lord Jesus Christ." "We don't magnify our sin, we magnify the Savior."
