Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
The law - the prophets - the psalms - This was the Jewish division of the whole old covenant. The Law contained the five books of Moses; the Prophets, the Jews divided into former and latter; they were, according to Josephus, thirteen. "The Psalms included not only the book still so named, but also three other books, Proverbs, Job, and Canticles. These all," says the above author, "contain hymns to God, and rules for the conduct of the lives of men." Joseph. Cont. App. i. 8. This account is imperfect: the common Jewish division of the writings of the old covenant is the following, and indeed seems to be the same to which our Lord alludes: - I. The Law, תורה thorah, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. II. The Prophets, נביאים, nabiaim, or teachers, including Joshua, Judges, the two books of Samuel, and the two books of Kings: these were termed the former prophets. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi: these were termed the latter prophets. III. The Hagiographa, (holy writings), כתובים kethuvim, which comprehended the Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Canticles, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and the two books of Chronicles. The Jews made anciently only twenty-two books of the whole, to bring them to the number of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet; and this they did by joining Ruth to Judges, making the two books of Samuel only one; and so of Kings and Chronicles; joining the Lamentations to Jeremiah, and making the twelve minor prophets only one book.

John Gill Bible Commentary
And that repentance and remission of sins,.... Which are the sum of the Gospel ministry; see Act 20:21 the doctrine of "repentance" is not of the law, which neither requires, nor admits of it, but of the Gospel. The Persic version calls it, "the Gospel of repentance"; a doctrine preached by John the Baptist, Christ, and his apostles; and the thing itself is a blessing of the covenant, a gift of God's grace, and in the hands of Christ to bestow; and therefore the doctrine of it is published in his name, as well as remission of sins; which, though it springs from the free grace of God, is procured by the blood of Christ, and through him it is preached. These two are joined together, not because repentance is the cause of pardon; for repentance makes no satisfaction for sin, or atonement for it; nor does the law at all regard it: tears of repentance will not wash away sin; notwithstanding these, iniquity remains marked before God; Christ's tears themselves did not take away, nor atone for sin; his blood must be shed, and it was shed for the remission of it; and that is the only meritorious cause it. The Syriac version wrongly reads, "repentance for the remission of sins": the Jews (c) indeed have a notion that repentance atones for sin; but it is a very bad one, and has no countenance neither from the law of nature, nor the law of Moses: but these two are put together, because there is a connection between them, as there is between repentance, and life, and salvation: repentance issues in these things; and to whomsoever the grace of repentance is given, to them the forgiveness of sins is applied; nor need any truly repenting sinner despair of the pardon of his sin: and indeed, there is no true evangelical repentance without views, or at least hopes of pardoning grace, and mercy; for that is attended with faith in Christ, and is heightened by the discoveries of forgiving love: such who have the fullest view of the remission of their sins, have the clearest sense of sin, and have the most sorrow for it, and loath themselves on account of it, and are ashamed of it, and do most frankly confess it, and most thoroughly forsake it. And now it was necessary, according to Old Testament prophecies, that both these should be preached in his name; in the name of the Messiah; by his authority, and as coming through him; since the remission of sin is by his blood; and he is exalted as a prince, and a Saviour, to give both repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the Israel of God, whether Jews or Gentiles; and therefore it is fitting and proper that these should be preached, among all nations; of the world, where God's elect are; that so they may be brought hereby to repentance, and receive the forgiveness of their sins: beginning at Jerusalem; from whence, according to the Old Testament, the word and doctrine of the Lord were to go forth, Psa 110:2 and is particularly mentioned, because the Gospel was to be first preached to the Jews, and be the power of God unto salvation to them; and because that in Jerusalem lived those who had been concerned in crucifying Christ, to whom repentance and forgiveness must be preached; and which would be a great encouragement to the vilest of sinners, to hope for mercy and forgiveness, since such received both. (c) T. Bab. Ceritot, fol. 7. 1.

K-038 the Potter
By Art Katz2.3K1:07:25PotterMAT 6:33LUK 24:44LUK 24:46In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of true Christianity and the costliness of following God.

The speaker also discusses the nature of suffering and how it is a necessary part of the Christian journey. They reference the example of Jesus, who learned obedience through suffering, and encourage believers to continually grow in their relationship with God and be willing to be refined through the fire. The sermon concludes with a thought-provoking illustration about the contraction that occurs when objects are put through fire, emphasizing the need for believers to let go of their own glory and surrender to God's refining process.
Church History - Session 3 (Prophecy in the Church Age)
By Edgar F. Parkyns2.3K48:10Church HistoryMAT 6:33LUK 24:442TI 3:16REV 1:1In this sermon, the speaker describes a journey of a woman who starts off feeling foolish and blind. As she progresses on her journey, she begins to notice the terrain and encounters various challenges, such as crossing a river and encountering dangerous Indians. However, she finds comfort and assurance in a book that she carries with her, which helps her understand the events unfolding around her. The speaker relates this journey to the book of Revelation, explaining that it contains mysterious visions meant to be made known in the churches and that it is written in code language to be understood by those who follow the Bible.
Taking the Message to the World
By Paul Washer2.2K50:41Great CommissionPSA 119:160MAT 13:13MAT 28:19LUK 24:44ACT 1:81CO 2:4REV 22:18In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of recognizing that Moses, despite his significant role in the destiny of Israel, was ultimately sustained by God's grace. The speaker also highlights the nature of divine revelation, emphasizing that it comes from God to humanity.

Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
By Stephen Kaung1.5K59:19Kingdom Of GodMAT 4:17MAT 6:10MAT 6:19MAT 6:33LUK 24:44ACT 2:36ACT 28:31In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the kingdom of God in our lives. He uses the example of the children of Israel in Egypt, who were kept busy with hard labor to prevent them from focusing on spiritual matters. The speaker argues that this strategy of the enemy is still prevalent today, as many Christians prioritize worldly concerns over seeking the kingdom of God. He highlights that while it is necessary to take care of our physical needs, we should not let them become our priority, but rather seek God's kingdom first.
Preaching Christ in the Power of the Spirit
By Arturo G. Azurdia1.4K1:10:00Preaching ChristLUK 24:32LUK 24:44JHN 17:17ACT 17:31CO 1:172CO 4:5HEB 4:12In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of living a worthy life based on the teachings of the Bible. He highlights the need to speak in a wholesome and uplifting manner, as it is a reflection of our response to God's grace. The preacher also emphasizes the importance of connecting moral imperatives with redemptive indicatives, meaning that our actions should be rooted in the gospel message. He encourages parents to teach their children to obey in the Lord, ensuring that they understand the gospel context behind their obedience. Additionally, the preacher emphasizes the need to understand the big story of the Bible, which is God's purpose to save his people through Jesus Christ, and to approach the study of the Bible with both a contextual and theological lens.
The Messianic Psalms - Psalm 8
By Chip Brogden1.1K29:56PsalmsPSA 8:1MAT 5:17LUK 24:44In this video, Chip Brogdon discusses the Messianic Psalms and their significance in understanding the Lord Jesus Christ and his kingdom. He emphasizes that Jesus himself said that everything written about him in the law, prophets, and Psalms must be fulfilled. The focus of this particular message is on Psalm 8, which speaks of a king of the universe who humbles himself and becomes lower than the angels. Chip explains that this humility and willingness to suffer is a principle of the cross, and if we also humble ourselves and suffer with Christ, we will be exalted and allowed to rule and reign with him.
Times of Refreshing and the Restoration of All Things
By John Piper74513:11Book Of ActsMAT 6:33LUK 24:44JHN 3:16ACT 3:17ACT 3:21ROM 8:28REV 21:4In this sermon, Pastor John Piper emphasizes the importance of listening with all our might to the preaching of the word of God. He highlights three key truths that should lead us to praise and worship God. Firstly, God fulfills his promises despite the opposition of ignorant people. Secondly, God forgives and wipes away the sins of those who repent, offering them a fresh start. Lastly, God will establish a kingdom of refreshment and restoration, where there will be no more pain, sadness, or frustration. These truths are supported by biblical references, particularly Acts chapter 3 verses 17 to 21.
Christ's Resurrection Song
By Arno Clemens Gaebelein0LUK 24:44ROM 6:9HEB 5:7REV 5:9Arno Clemens Gaebelein preaches on the Psalms as containing rich prophecies concerning Christ, revealing Him in His divine perfections, true humanity, suffering, and glory. The Psalms are a treasure trove where Christ can be found unexpectedly, such as in Psalm 40, known as the 'resurrection song of Christ,' depicting His patient waiting on the Lord, His suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension. The Psalms also point to the future redemption of Israel and the universal praise that will be offered to God and the Lamb.
Of the Law of God.
By John Gill0The Moral LawLaw and GospelEXO 20:3LUK 24:44JHN 1:17ROM 3:27John Gill expounds on the Law of God, emphasizing the interplay between law and gospel throughout biblical history. He explains the distinctions between the ceremonial, judicial, and moral laws, noting that while the ceremonial and some judicial laws have ceased with the coming of Christ, the moral law remains binding and eternal. Gill highlights that the moral law, encapsulated in the Ten Commandments, is perfect, spiritual, holy, just, and good, serving both to convict sinners and guide believers in their conduct. He asserts that believers are not under the law as a covenant of works but are called to live under grace, fulfilling the law through love and the Spirit. Ultimately, the law continues to serve as a rule of life for Christians, reflecting God's will and character.
Bible Survey - Leviticus
By Peter Hammond0LEV 19:2LUK 4:18LUK 24:44JHN 1:29ROM 6:232TI 3:15HEB 9:22Peter Hammond preaches on the significance of holiness as portrayed in the Book of Leviticus, emphasizing the importance of reverencing God and living a life dedicated to Him. Leviticus provides direct instructions from God on how sinful people can be reconciled to a Holy God and how to worship Him acceptably, focusing on transformation and holiness. The sacrifices and feasts in Leviticus symbolize the reconciliation of sinful people to God and the proper way to worship Him, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ as the ultimate sacrifice and fulfillment of God's plan.
