    Introduction to the Life and Ministry of Jonathan Edwards

    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 Bible Learn 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 #Theology JONATHAN EDWARDS STUDY BIBLE: Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Tp1bxp Christian 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=www Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-jonathan-edwards-study-bible-thomas-nelson/1148750961?ean=9781400339532 Target: 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=sametab Wal-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.

    Covered by Grace | Genesis 3:20–21 | The Gospel in the Garden of Eden What 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 righteousness The 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

    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

    David’s Mighty Men: Courage, Loyalty, and Faithfulness | 2 Samuel 23 Who 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].

    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 victory Genesis 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.

    Evangelist from Pilgrim's Progress: Character Analysis

    Get Pilgrim's Progress: https://amzn.to/4hB3Huw Evangelist in The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Character Analysis Who 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.

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

    Camouflage in the Kingdom: When Sin Makes Us Hide from God | Genesis 3:8–13 Why 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 sin Why sin disrupts our fellowship and walk with God Why sinners attempt to hide from an omniscient God How sin produces fear, blame-shifting, and self-deception The noetic effects of the Fall—how sin affects our minds and reasoning Why Adam's fig leaves could never adequately cover his guilt The difference between hiding in shame and being clothed in Christ How Genesis 3 points forward to the Redeemer, Jesus Christ Why our ultimate hope must be found not in what we have done, but in what Christ has done Biblical Text: Genesis 3:8–13 Sermon Title: Camouflage in the Kingdom Preacher: Dr. Matthew Everhard Date: August 16, 2026 You were not made to hide. You were made to stand faithfully before God and shine as His image-bearer. Come out of the bushes of shame and guilt and into the light of forgiveness and grace. “What have you done?” The answer ultimately points us away from ourselves and toward Christ—His perfect life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection. #Genesis3 #Genesis #FallOfMan #AdamAndEve #OriginalSin #Sin #Christianity #ReformedTheology #BiblicalPreaching #MatthewEverhard #JesusChrist #Gospel #NoeticEffects #Reformed #BibleStudy In this sermon, we consider:

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

    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

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?

Topics include: The origin and fall of Satan Why the serpent appears in Genesis 3 Satan's strategies against believers How the devil twists God's Word Spiritual warfare according to Scripture The armor of God (Ephesians 6) God's sovereignty over Satan Why God permitted the Fall How Christ has conquered sin, death, and the devil Even though Christians face a real spiritual enemy, believers have an even greater Savior.

    Defeating Anxiety Through Confidence in God

    Defeating Anxiety Do you struggle with anxiety, fear, panic attacks, or constant worry? In this video, I share some of my own battles with anxiety—including panic episodes from my past—and explain how the Lord taught me to fight fear with confidence in God. As Christians, we need to think biblically about anxiety. Is anxiety always sinful? Not necessarily. Sometimes fear is simply part of living in a fallen world. But anxiety becomes spiritually dangerous when it causes us to distrust God or run from our God-given duties. In this teaching, we explore how to transform anxiety into something spiritually productive by turning fear into prayer, action, and deeper trust in the Lord. In this video, we discuss: • When anxiety is sinful—and when it isn’t • Why some fears are irrational and how to confront them • How avoidance often makes anxiety worse • Why God’s goodness and sovereignty are the antidote to fear • How to turn anxious thoughts into prayer (Philippians 4) • Five powerful truths every anxious Christian needs to remember Jesus tells us in Matthew 6: “Do not be anxious about your life...” That command isn’t harsh—it’s hopeful. Why? Because your Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and cares for you. The cure for anxiety is not pretending fear doesn’t exist; it is learning to trust a God who is both good and powerful. If you are dealing with worry, panic, social anxiety, fear of failure, health anxiety, or overwhelming stress, I hope this biblical encouragement strengthens your soul. 📖 Key Scriptures: • Matthew 6:25–34 • Philippians 4:5–7 • Romans 5 • James 1 • John 14 • Romans 8 📚 My book: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards In this book, I discuss the roots of fear and how the gospel produces real courage in anxious times. 👍 If this video helped you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need encouragement today. #Anxiety #ChristianAnxiety #TrustGod #BiblicalCounseling #Fear #ChristianEncouragement #MatthewEverhard #ReformedTheology #ChristianLiving #Philippians4 #MentalHealth #GospelHope NEW BOOK: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards.
