Hope in the Lord - Psalm 131
ARBCWC Update
Our Eternal Dwelling Place
Psalm 90, the only psalm of Moses recorded in the Psalter, confronts a rootless and ruined people with the brevity and hardness of human life under the wrath of God, and then directs them toward the only eternal dwelling place: God himself. The middle section of the psalm — verses 3 through 11 — is among the grimmest passages in all of Scripture, pressing the hearer to face that death is not natural but is the judicial sentence of a holy God upon sin. Yet the psalm does not end in despair: the petitions of verses 12 through 17 find their definitive answer in the person and work of Christ, in whom heaven is opened and God again makes his abode with man. The call to number our days wisely, to seek the eternal dwelling rather than earthly monuments, and to work heartily unto the Lord frames the sermon's concluding exhortations.

CTF 2025 - Session 4 – The Depth of God’s Eternal and Incomprehensible Nature
God's timeless eternity and His incomprehensibility are not isolated doctrines but necessary corollaries of divine simplicity, immutability, and infinity. Drawing on Boethius, Turretin, Owen, Charnock, and Bavinck, this session argues that God does not experience successive states of being — He possesses boundless life whole and simultaneously — and that this entails a strict atemporality rather than merely endless temporal duration. Divine incomprehensibility is not an admission of ignorance but a confession that even what the creature truly and savingly knows of God cannot be contained or measured by a finite mind, so that the inexhaustibility of God's glory is the very foundation of unending worship.
CTF 2025 - Session 2 - Divine Simplicity
Divine simplicity — the confession that God is without parts of any kind — is the metaphysical foundation for the biblical claim of Romans 11:36 that all things are from, through, and to God alone. A composite God would be a dependent God, and a dependent God could not be the uncaused first cause of all things; complexity is the structure of finitude, not of deity. This session works through the confession's language of God being 'without body, parts, or passions' and 'infinite in being and perfection,' showing that divine infinity follows necessarily from divine simplicity. The practical weight of the doctrine is that a God without parts cannot fall apart — he is the one upon whom the creature may depend with absolute and unqualified trust.
CTF 2025 - Session 3 - Exploring God’s Impassibility
God's immutability and impassibility are not cold abstractions but the very ground of His most loving, most free, and most gracious character. Drawing from Malachi 3:6, Job 22 and 35 and 41, Psalm 102, James 1:17, and the Second London Baptist Confession 2.1, this session argues that because God is pure being with no lack, no external cause can produce new states in Him — not even the loveliness of those He loves. The practical payoff is that God's love is unbounded, impassible love is the very reason sola gratia holds: if God loved passionately — moved by creatures — His love would no longer be grace but debt.
