This sermon examines the warning against idolatry in Deuteronomy 4, highlighting the human tendency to create manageable gods rather than worship the invisible Creator. It contrasts the judgment of nations given over to their idols with God’s faithful preservation of Israel through the intercession of Moses. The message identifies Jesus Christ as the ultimate and eternal Mediator who stands in the breach, unlike the temporary mediator Moses, and who bore the curse of covenant breaking on the cross. The sermon concludes by urging believers to reject self-made idols and offer worship in spirit and truth, trusting in the unshakable kingdom of Christ who will return in glory.
Established in 1732, St. Stephen Reformed Church is a Bible-believing, gospel preaching, mission-focused, Christ-centered congregation that is committed to living by the light of the Spirit, faithfully proclaiming the light of the Word, and shining forth the light of Christ in New Holland and surrounding area.
As a member church of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), we embrace and confess that the doctrine found in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechism is the most faithful summary of scriptural teaching. The PCA’s slogan encapsulates well our beliefs: Faithful to Scripture, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.
We desire to help all who come to worship, know, love, grow in, live for and glorify Jesus, the light of the world (John 8:12). Our worship is designed to give praise to our Great God, featuring the great hymns of the faith, together with other music that honors Him.
