The Rights of Christ as the Son of Adam, Son of God, & True Israel in the Wilderness
This sermon examines the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness as a recapitulation of Israel's and Adam's failures, highlighting how Christ succeeded where they failed by trusting in God's Word. The central message emphasizes that believers must resist the temptations of the flesh, the pride of life, and the lust of the eyes by maintaining a deep, abiding familiarity with Scripture. Dr. Beale argues that physical needs, expedient goals, and hasty actions often lead to sin when they overshadow the guidance of God's Word. By quoting Deuteronomy, Jesus demonstrates that true sonship and victory over the devil are achieved through faithful dependence on God rather than self-reliance or convenience. The sermon concludes with a call for Christians to immerse themselves in the Bible so that they may think God's thoughts after Him and remain steadfast in their ministry and daily lives.

Radical Purity
This sermon examines Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount regarding the seventh commandment, arguing that adultery is fundamentally a matter of the heart rather than merely a physical act. The central message is that lust is a disordered desire that originates in the inner man, requiring believers to guard their eyes and imaginations as gateways to the soul. The preacher urges a radical approach to sin, using Christ's hyperbolic language of removing eyes and hands to illustrate the necessity of taking serious, decisive action to cut off access points to temptation. While acknowledging the dire consequences of uncontrolled sin, the message ultimately points to the grace of Jesus Christ, who cleanses believers and empowers them to pursue holiness. The sermon concludes with practical applications, encouraging the removal of sinful gateways and the replacement of covetous desires with genuine love for one's spouse and, most importantly, for the Lord Jesus Christ.
