  • Sin & Righteousness According to God | Psalm 11:7, 1 John 2:1

    Sin & Righteousness According to God | Psalm 11:7, 1 John 2:1
    Feb 1 2026

    Lord's Day: February 1, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: First John Topic: Law & Gospel Distinction Scripture: Psalm 11:7; 1 John 1:9–2:2; Deuteronomy 32:3–4; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:13; 1 Corinthians 5:6–8; Matthew 5:29–30; Romans 8:6–8; 1 John 3:8–10; Ecclesiastes 7:20, 29; Mark 10:18; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:10–12; Galatians 2:21; John 1:29; Galatians 4:4–5; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22–24; Romans 5:19; 4:3–8; 2 Corinthians 5:20–21; Ephesians 4:20–24; Philippians 3:20–21

    For Yahweh is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will behold His face. Psalm 11:7

    • Two of the most important subjects in the entire Bible: sin and righteousness

    I. “…so that you may not sin.”

    • According to God, we are all sinners, born guilty under the Law of God.
    • What is your life’s purpose? To not sin?
    • Who are you a child of?
    • The Belgic Confession, Article 22: The Righteousness of Faith

    II. The Gospel According to Righteousnesses

    • Are you righteous?
    • The Bible describes different kinds of righteousnesses with respect to God and man, which summarize the entire story of the Bible, the whole counsel of God, and reveals the true gospel to us:
    1. The Righteousness of God
    2. Original Righteousness
    3. Self-Righteousness
    4. The Righteousness of Jesus Christ
    5. The Imputed Righteousness of Believers
    6. The Renewed Righteousness of Believers
    7. The Culminated Righteousness of Believers

    An Orthodox Catechism, Question 60: How are you right with God? Only by true faith in Jesus Christ.(a) Even though my conscience accuses me of having grievously sinned against all God's commandments and of never having kept any of them,(b) and even though I am still inclined toward all evil [in my flesh],(c) nevertheless, without my deserving it at all,(d) out of sheer grace,(e) God grants and credits to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ,(f) as if I had never sinned nor been a sinner, as if I had been as perfectly obedient as Christ was obedient for me.(g) All I need to do is to accept this gift of God with a believing heart.(h) (a) Rom. 3:21-28; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8-9; Phil 3:8-11 (b) Rom. 3:9-10 (c) Rom. 7:23 (d) Tit. 3:4-5 (e) Rom. 3:24; Eph. 2:8 (f) Rom. 4:3-5 (Gen. 15:6); 2 Cor. 5:17-19; 1 John 2:1-2 (g) Rom. 4:24-25; 2 Cor. 5:21 (h) John 3:18; Acts 16:30-31

  • It Is Written: The Chair of Moses | Matthew 23:1-4

    It Is Written: The Chair of Moses | Matthew 23:1-4
    Jan 25 2026

    Lord's Day: January 25, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: It Is Written: Scripture Alone Topic: Authority Scripture: Matthew 23:1–4; Luke 4:16–21; Exodus 18:13–26; Deuteronomy 1:11–18; Ezra 10:1–6, 10–12; Nehemiah 13:23–30; Matthew 7:29; John 8:14–15, 19; 1 John 2:23; John 9:39–41; Mark 7:13

    2“The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; 3therefore all that they tell you, do and keep, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them." Matthew 23:2–3

    • Jesus rebukes the scribes and Pharisees, who do not practice what they preach, insofar as what they preach/teach actually agrees with Moses and the prophets, the sacred Scriptures, the written Word of God.

    I. The kathedra of Moses

    • Moses’ seat is not some extrabiblical, “infallible” tradition or authority that is outside of or independent of what is written by God.

    II. What saith the Scriptures?

    • Exodus 18:13–26, Deuteronomy 1:11–18, Ezra 10:1–6, 10–12, Nehemiah 13:23–30

    III. God always requires His leaders to be called and qualified, without hypocrisy.

    • Both then, in Israel (kings, scribes, priests, prophets, judges, etc.), and now, in the church (pastors, elders, teachers, etc.)
    • Pharisees and Sadducees emerged, and seated themselves in the authoritative teaching chair of Moses (Matt. 23:2-3)—but, were they actually called and qualified by God to do so?
    • The scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees were denounced by Christ as hypocritical, unbiblical usurpers and abusers of authority.

  • It Is Written: The 400 Years of Prophetic Silence | Malachi 4:4-6

    It Is Written: The 400 Years of Prophetic Silence | Malachi 4:4-6
    Jan 18 2026

    Lord's Day: January 18, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: It Is Written: Scripture Alone Topic: Church History Scripture: Malachi 3:13–4:6; Acts 3:24; John 10:22–23; Luke 1:11–17; Matthew 11:7–15; John 10:27–29

    4“Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and judgments which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. 5“Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. 6“And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land, devoting it to destruction.” Malachi 4:4–6

    • These words mark the end of the Old Testament, the last of the Old Testament prophets, and the beginning of the 400 years of silence.

    I. These are “The 400 Years of Prophetic Silence,” the Intertestamental Period

    • Although there was a glaring prophetic silence in Israel, there was also great political and spiritual change, and turbulence. No new Scripture was given at this time, though the entire Old Testament was eventually translated into what became the next universal language of the time—Greek.

    II. No prophet had come to Israel during that time, no God-breathed Scriptures had been written.

    • “So there was great distress in Israel, such as had not been since the time that prophets ceased to appear among them.” (1 Maccabees 9:27)
    • John the Baptist

    III. Now we have an historical, prophetic, biblical context to the apocryphal writings.

    • The issues surrounding the apocrypha do focus on what they say and teach, but especially on how they are regarded and used by religious traditions and churches.

    IV. What are the apocryphal books? Do they evidence God’s breath?

    • None of the apocrypha claim to be inspired by God; on the contrary, some explicitly claim to be mere human writings, in part because they acknowledge that prophecy had ceased during that time.
    • All of the apocryphal books were written during the 400 years of prophetic silence.

    V. The apocrypha contain various errors and contradictions

  • It Is Written: From Abel to Zechariah | Luke 11:47-52, Matt. 23:29-36

    It Is Written: From Abel to Zechariah | Luke 11:47-52, Matt. 23:29-36
    Jan 11 2026

    Lord's Day: January 11, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: It Is Written: Scripture Alone Topic: Scripture Scripture: Luke 11:45–52; Matthew 23:29–36; Zechariah 1:1; 2 Chronicles 24:20–22; Luke 7:28; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 25:46; Ephesians 2:1–19

    49“For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute, 50so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.’" Luke 11:49–51

    • Sometimes Jesus was confrontational

    I. Which Zechariah?

    • Zechariah 1:1, 2 Chronicles 24:20–22, Protoevangelium of James

    II. Jesus does not include any martyrdoms from the Intertestamental Period

    • Nor John the Baptist
    • “So there was great distress in Israel, such as had not been since the time that prophets ceased to appear among them.” (1 Macc. 9:27, after Malachi)
    • Jewish Talmud (Sotah 9:48b): “As the Sages taught in a baraita (Tosefta 13:3): From the time when Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi died, the Divine Spirit departed from the Jewish people, as these three were considered to be the last prophets.”

    III. Differing levels of authority within the canonical books of Scripture

    • Law of Moses is the foundation for everything that follows
    • All Scripture is authoritative, but the New Testament is the final written Word of God, making it more authoritative, the final, God-breathed, written Word that divinely expands on, fulfills, continues and abrogates, and interprets the Old Testament.
    • Augustine: “The new is in the old concealed (hidden); the old is in the new revealed.”
    • Beware: Inverted hermeneutic of Annihilationism, Conditional Immortality (Kirk Cameron)

    • Louis Gaussen: “The whole tenor of Scripture places the writers of the New Testament in the same rank with the prophets of the Old; and even when it establishes any difference between them, it is always in putting the last in date above the first, in so far as one of God's sayings is superior to the saying that preceded it (not…in divinity, not in dignity, but in authority).”[1]

  • It Is Written: “All the Prophets” of Scripture Alone | Acts 3:17-26

    It Is Written: “All the Prophets” of Scripture Alone | Acts 3:17-26
    Jan 4 2026

    Lord's Day: January 4, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: It Is Written: Scripture Alone Topic: Scripture Scripture: Acts 3:17–26; Psalm 119:41–48; Luke 24:25–27; 2 Samuel 7:12–17; Hebrews 11:35–38; Romans 3:1–2; Jude 3; Romans 16:25–27

    “But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled." Acts 3:18

    • The issues of the canon of Scripture and biblical authority are foundational differences between Protestantism and everything else.
    • Basil Manly, Jr., The Bible Doctrine of Inspiration, ed. Timothy George and Denise George (Broadman and Holman, 1995).
    • François Samuel Robert Louis Gaussen, God-Breathed: The Divine Inspiration of the Bible, ed. John W. Robbins, trans. David Scott, Trinity Paper 57 (The Trinity Foundation, 2001), https://www.trinitylectures.org/god-breathed-the-divine-inspiration-of-the-bible-p-88.html.
    • John D. Meade and Peter J. Gurry, Scribes and Scripture: The Amazing Story of How We Got the Bible (Crossway, 2022).

    I. What is a biblical prophet? The office of a prophet?

    • “All the prophets,” including the New Testament prophets, are divine representatives, who speak for, and, beginning with Moses—write for—God, with supernatural aid, direction, and authority.

    II. “The prophets” and “all the prophets” of Scripture alone

    • Every genuine prophet spoke, and eventually wrote, directly or indirectly, of the coming Messiah and His kingdom, with divine authority.

    III. Does the New Testament also quote apocryphal books?

    • There is a difference between quoting something directly and alluding to something, and loosely resembling something as opposed to consciously alluding to it.
    • Romans 3:2

    IV. We normally understand Scripture and canon to refer to the same books.

    • Some early church writers like Jerome, Athansius, Cyril, did not list apocrypha as part of the Old/New Testament canons, although they sometimes quoted them as (lower-tier) "Scripture."
    • We have the same Old Testament that was entrusted to the Jews, which Jesus and His Apostles affirmed.
    • The entire Old Testament speaks to, foretells, anticipates, looks forward to the coming Messiah who takes away all our sin.

    It Is Written: The Old Testament of Scripture Alone | Rom. 3:1-2, Acts 7:37-39, Luke 24:25-27, 44-49
    Dec 28 2025
    Lord's Day: December 28, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: It Is Written: Scripture Alone Topic: Scripture Scripture: Romans 3:1–2; Acts 7:37–39; Luke 24:25–27, 44–49; John 10:27–28; 1 Corinthians 14:21; John 1:45; Matthew 22:40; Romans 3:21–22; Acts 13:15; 10:43 1Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. Romans 3:1–2 Opponents of Protestantism falsely claim that there is no evidence in the early church for the Protestant Old Testament canon. This betrays history, church history, and the competing criteria that were used—especially in the early church—to recognize the books of the Old Testament. I. There were two primary competing criteria in the early church used to identify the Old Testament: 1. Which books were part of the Hebrew canon that the Jews used, and which Christ and His Apostles affirmed? Rom. 3:1-2, Acts 7:37-39, etc. 2. Which books did the (early) churches read in church and deemed edifying?[1] This is less precise. The church does not define God’s Word—God’s Word defines the church. II. The Protestant Canon of the Old Testament The overwhelming testimony of the Jews was that they held to an exclusive, 22/24 book canon of the Old Testament, matching the Protestant canon—apart from any "infallible" authority/council defining their canon—and Jesus and the Apostles quoted it to them repeatedly and demonstrated how He fulfilled it, refuted them with it, appealed to it as the highest authority, held them accountable to it, without ever debating which books were inspired.See “The Apocrypha Disproves Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy,” https://faithalone.net/topical-articles/articles/catholicism/apocrypha.html. III. Hebrew Bible—Tanakh—has three sections: Torah (Law), Nevi’im (Prophets), Ketuvim (Writings) Apocrypha are not included in the Hebrew Bible. IV. The 22/24 Hebrew canon and threefold subdivision of the Old Testament is found in numerous ancient Jewish and Christian sources, and in the Old and New Testaments. Anglican John Cosin (1594-1672) lists over 76 Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox sources, authorities, councils which rejected/distinguished the Apocrypha, in A Scholastical History of the Canon of the Holy Scripture, https://confessionalbibliology.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_Works_Of_John_Cosin_Scholastical_his.pdf. V. The New Testament uses synecdoches and shorthand phrases like “the Law and the Prophets” to denote the entire Old Testament. Also "the Law," “the Prophets,” “all the Prophets,” "the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms" Old Testament also uses canonical synecdoches.

  • The Logos Became Flesh | John 1:1-18

    The Logos Became Flesh | John 1:1-18
    Dec 21 2025

    Lord's Day: Dec 21, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: Seasoned with Grace Topic: Christ Scripture: John 1:1–18; Luke 2:19–20; Romans 12:1; Hebrews 13:15–16; 1 John 2:2; Isaiah 53:5–11; John 1:28–29, 35–37; Matthew 1:18–25; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 2:21–24; Leviticus 12:1–8

    And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

    • Note: A part of the sermon was lost at around 50 minutes of the recording. We restored and merged the recordings that we did have.
    • Jesus is our treasure, our marvel, our wonder, which we ponder in our hearts and bring praise, glory, and honor to Him by our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, offering our entire lives as a living sacrifice unto Him (Luke 2:19-20; Rom. 12).

    I. The twfold meaning of Christmas: Two big picture, bookend truths

    • The Hypostatic Union of Christ and the Gospel

    II. What is the Hypostatic Union?

    • Truly God, truly Man: “We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God. Begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made (John 1). For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.” (Nicene Creed)
    • Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man in one Person. The word “hypostatic” comes from the Greek hupostasis (ὑπόστασις), meaning “substance.” Both natures operate in harmony—without confusion, change, division, or separation.
    • The Chalcedonian Definition
    • God the Son is the subject and Person of the Incarnation, not the human nature of Christ: anhypostasis, enhypostasis.

    III. The Gospel of God’s Propitiation

    • Isaiah 53; 1 John 2:2; John 1:28-29, 35-37

    IV. That is the second truth about Christmas—why Jesus was born

    • The Virgin Birth: Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:21-24, Leviticus 12:1-8

    It Is Written: One Canon, Two Testaments | 2 Peter 3:1-2, 14-18
    Dec 14 2025
    Lord's Day: December 14, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: It Is Written: Scripture Alone Topic: Scripture Scripture: 2 Peter 3:1–2, 14–18; Genesis 3:1; Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 1 Timothy 3:15; Matthew 15:3; 1:23–25; 12:47; John 10:27–28 1This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles,... 14Therefore, beloved, since you are looking for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15and consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest you, having been carried away by the error of unprincipled men, fall from your own steadfastness, 18but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. 2 Peter 3:1–2, 14-18 Both Peter’s audience and the unstable men understood that Paul’s letters were Scripture beforehand.The Church Canon has two canons: Old Testament canon and New Testament canon I. We can be certain as to what the Divine Canon of Scripture is without requiring any other “infallible” authority… …as long as we use the means and criteria and authorities that God gave us to identify and receive the books which He wrote down for His churchScripture alone in conjunction with Progressive Revelation II. Another testament to the early church recognizing and proliferating the New Testament canon without any other top-down hierarchy or normative authority... Which books did the early Christians copy the most? By far?“Persecution of the church began as early as Acts 4, when Herod executed James, the brother of John (Acts 12:2). By the time of Emperor Diocletian (AD 303–312), it was illegal even to own copies of the Bible.”[1] III. The canon of Scripture is one of the greatest testaments of how God uses His church in history to be the “pillar and support of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15). The early church distinguished between authoritative apostolic tradition and all other church traditions, and she recognized the apostolic tradition that was written down to be the exclusive canon of the New Testament. IV. Even if it were true that the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox church “gave” us the Bible, as they both claim, and therefore you must rely on them as your authority… Scripture alone would still refute them in the end, because it teaches us what Scripture teaches us to interpret Scripture in a logical, harmonious, consistent manner that does not violate or nullify the Word of God for the sake of extrabiblical, unbiblical traditions (Matt. 15:3).Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy teach that Mary remained a perpetual virgin, even during and after Christ’s birth, even though the Bible teaches that Christ’s birth was fully natural and that Mary had other children with Joseph after Christ.Protoevangelium of JamesGod has clearly shown us His church’s recognition and preservation of the Old and New Testaments in history, by His Spirit working through His people, for all to bear witness and see His providence in action.
