3 The Arrangement Of The Biblical Covenants
I’d like to welcome you back for another study in the Word of God. You have your Bible available, I’d like to ask you to open to Amos chapter 3. While you're turning there, let me just make reference to our previous study. I mentioned in the previous study that I might return to the subject of covenants, and in particular, to speak about the number of covenants mentioned in the Old and New Testament scriptures, and how they're arranged. And that's precisely what I've chosen to do for this study. The Definition And Nature Of A Covenant How are the Bible covenants arranged? For an opening text, I've asked you to look at Amos chapter 3, and I'm going to be reading for you…

2 Examples Of The Gospel Law
I’d like to welcome you back for another study in the Word of God. In our previous study, I tried to answer the question—What Is The Gospel Law? In a nutshell, I believe the gospel law is a living union—the living union of the soul with the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, at the close of last week's study, I mentioned that I wanted to share with you some examples of the gospel law from the Bible, but I realized after I finish last week's teaching, that I failed to tie together two loose ends. So, before we look at some examples, I’d like to review with you the diagram that I presented to you last time. I call it the Framework of Sovereign Grace. And…

1 What Is The Gospel Law?
I’d like to invite you to take your Bible. We're looking at Galatians chapter 6 and I'll be reading for you the second verse. While you're turning there, let me make a comment about the unpolished onscreen notes. If you follow my teaching ministry regularly, you'll know that I have more polished notes than the ones you see on the screen. This week and probably the next three to four weeks after, I’m going to be extremely busy and I just don't have the time to make the regular preparations I usually give to these recorded teachings, and so I've opted to continue using onscreen notes, but I'm afraid you're going to have to put up with my handwritten notes, and I'll be making them…

Why Do We Mourn Departed Saints
The Apostle Paul instructed the churches at Colosse to teach and admonish one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. And that's what I intend to do by explaining the meaning of this hymn—Why Do We Mourn Departed Saints? I like to explain the meaning of the hymn against the backdrop of the Framework of Sovereign Grace, which is God's master plan for the ages. You'll notice the hymn was written by Isaac Watts. This was an 18th century sovereign grace Congregational preacher, also known as the father of Hymnody. Now, there's three stanzas to the hymn. I’d like to read them to you.

All The Way My Savior Leads Me
The Apostle Paul instructed the churches at Colosse to teach and admonish one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. That's what I intend to do by explaining the meaning of this hymn—All The Way My Savior Leads Me. And I’d like to give an explanation according to the Framework of Sovereign Grace, which is God's master plan for the ages. You'll notice the hymn was written by Fanny Crosby. This was a 19th century American poet and composer. In fact, she wrote more than 8,000 hymns, of which of course, this is one of them. Allow me to read for you the three stanzas of the hymn:

Now Thank We All Our God
The Apostle Paul instructed the believers at Colosse to teach and admonish one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. That is what I hope to do by explaining the meaning of this hymn, against the backdrop of the Framework of Sovereign Grace.
