God's command to build the ark is presented not as a logistical impossibility but as a divinely orchestrated plan, with the ark's dimensions and design reflecting remarkable engineering efficiency, capable of housing a representative number of animal kinds—organized by biblical created kinds rather than modern species—alongside Noah's family and provisions. The sermon dismantles common objections to the global flood by emphasizing the biblical framework of created kinds, the practicality of space utilization through stacking and efficient storage, and the supernatural provision of resources, all underscoring God's sovereign power and the foolishness of human skepticism. Ultimately, the ark is portrayed as a type of the church and a foreshadowing of Christ, illustrating God's redemptive plan through judgment, covenant, and grace, while affirming the truth and coherence of Scripture against secular ridicule. The tone is resolute and pastoral, aiming to strengthen faith by exposing the intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of unbelief. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/38261836146901 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:39:16 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/38261818483596 The sermon unfolds a profound theological reflection on the genealogy from Adam to Noah, emphasizing the progressive deterioration of humanity's moral and spiritual condition, culminating in the universal wickedness described in Genesis 6. Central to the message is the doctrine of total depravity, illustrated by the claim that 'every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually,' underscoring the fallen nature of unregenerate humanity and the necessity of divine grace. The contrast between the godly line of Seth and the corrupt city of man highlights the tension between the church and the world, culminating in God's decision to judge the earth through the flood, not merely for human sin but for the pervasive corruption that had infected even creation itself. The sermon clarifies that God's sorrow and regret are anthropopathic language—descriptive of His relational dealings with humanity, not indicators of emotional change—reaffirming God's immutable nature, eternal purposes, and unchanging character. Ultimately, the narrative points to Noah as a living testament to grace, whose faith and obedience were not self-generated but divinely imparted, demonstrating that true godliness arises from a transformed heart shaped by the knowledge and love of God, which alone can overcome the world's pervasive evil. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/38261818483596 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:52:35 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/38261829362961 The sermon centers on Noah as a paradigm of faith, righteousness, and obedience in a world consumed by corruption and violence, illustrating God's justice and grace through the flood narrative. Highlighting Noah's justification by faith—credited to him through Christ's imputed righteousness—emphasizes that true righteousness is not earned but received, and that obedience to God's commands, though seemingly absurd, serves as a living condemnation of the world's unbelief. The construction of the ark, with its precise dimensions and divine instructions, symbolizes God's covenantal faithfulness, prefiguring Christ as the ultimate means of salvation and the church as the new ark of preservation. The flood, as a global judgment, underscores God's holy wrath against sin, yet also reveals His redemptive purpose: to cleanse the earth, preserve the godly lineage, and establish a new covenant with humanity, sealed by the rainbow and marked by the institution of human authority, sacrifice, and the promise of a stable creation. Ultimately, the story calls believers to live in faithful anticipation of Christ's return, recognizing that true faith is demonstrated not in words alone but in costly, obedient action that stands in stark contrast to the world's moral decay. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/38261829362961 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:15:04 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22226201231332 The sermon presents Genesis 4–6 as a theological narrative of two opposing cities: the city of God, marked by covenant succession, worship, and faith, and the city of man, defined by rebellion, idolatry, and seduction. Central to this contrast is the theme of covenantal continuity, illustrated through the genealogy of Adam, where each generation preserves the promise of God's redemptive plan, culminating in Noah, who finds grace amid widespread apostasy. The text warns against the peril of spiritual compromise—particularly through intermarriage with the ungodly—which leads to moral decay, demonic influence, and the rise of violent, idolatrous power, symbolized by the Nephilim. The flood is portrayed not as arbitrary destruction but as a divine judgment on entrenched wickedness, a necessary purging to preserve the covenant line and restore creation's purpose. Ultimately, the passage calls the church to vigilance, emphasizing the enduring responsibility of covenantal faithfulness across generations, rooted in God's grace and sustained by faithful worship and holiness. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22226201231332 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:46:25 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/3126201451965 The sermon unfolds a theological narrative centered on the continuity of God's redemptive plan from Adam to Noah, emphasizing the doctrine of substitution through Seth's appointment in place of Abel, which prefigures Christ's atoning sacrifice. It traces the genealogy of Adam as a living testament to divine wisdom and spiritual inheritance, portraying the patriarchs as 'living libraries' of sacred knowledge whose long lives preserved a covenantal witness amid escalating wickedness. The text highlights three enduring dangers—persecution, seduction, and heresy—particularly focusing on the peril of sensual desire that corrupts affections, and calls for intentional cultivation of godly values through disciplined training of the heart and mind. Drawing from Jude and Hebrews, it contrasts the declining, apostate state of the pre-flood world with the superior administration of the New Covenant, where the law is written on hearts and the knowledge of God fills the earth, affirming a progressive, hopeful trajectory of redemption. Ultimately, the sermon urges believers to contend for the faith, resist worldly seductions, and raise a generation whose affections are shaped by the beauty of holiness, rooted in the gospel's enduring power. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/3126201451965 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:19:35 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/222262010587218 The sermon centers on the theological significance of Genesis 4:26, where 'men began to call on the name of the Lord,' interpreting this as the emergence of a distinct, visible church set apart from the world—a community defined by public worship, identity in God, and separation from idolatry. It emphasizes the dual reality of the church: the invisible, universal body of the elect, eternally chosen by God and united to Christ, and the visible church, composed of those who profess the true religion and their children, marked by the preaching of the Word, proper administration of ordinances, and godly governance. Drawing from the Westminster Confession, the sermon underscores the church's mission to gather and perfect saints through the ministry, oracles, and ordinances, empowered by Christ's presence and Spirit, while affirming that salvation is ordinarily found within this visible community, though not exclusively. It calls believers to active participation in the church's life—especially through holy conference, doctrinal discussion, and faithful worship—recognizing the church as a spiritual battlefield where the gospel advances against the world, and where every member is called to minister to one another in the light of God's eternal promise. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/222262010587218 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:58:52 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22226206415862 The sermon presents a stark contrast between the city of God and the city of man, rooted in the biblical narrative of Cain and Abel, emphasizing that truth, identity, and moral distinctions are unchanging because they are grounded in the eternal, immutable nature of God. It argues that the doctrine of Heraclitian flux—where all things are in constant, purposeless change—undermines reality, erodes moral categories, and leads to cultural chaos, manifesting in the city of man through polygamy, hyper-patriarchy, and feminism as distortions of God's design. In contrast, the city of God, represented by Seth and Enosh, is defined by faith, repentance, and the call to glorify God, where identity is found not in human achievement or social constructs, but in a relationship with the Creator. The sermon calls for a return to settled theological categories, biblical patriarchy, and a life centered on the doxological purpose of glorifying God, rejecting the relativism and self-justifying power struggles that characterize the world's progress. Ultimately, it affirms that true progress is not in material advancement, but in the spiritual and moral cultivation of life under God's eternal, unchanging truth. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22226206415862 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:04:41 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22226203477307 The sermon presents a theological and cultural critique of human progress, contrasting the city of God with the city of man as depicted in Genesis 4. It argues that without a biblically grounded eschatology—specifically a post-millennial hope—the world descends into a 'hopeless flux' of change devoid of direction, where cultural advancements in art, technology, and governance are spiritually hollow and often serve to empower evil rather than advance God's kingdom. The sermon emphasizes that true progress is not measured by material or cultural achievements but by the spiritual conquest of nations through the gospel, the maturation of believers, and the faithful stewardship of God's ordinances in family, church, and state. It warns against both feminism and hyper-patriarchy, advocating instead for biblical patriarchy as a God-ordained structure that promotes justice, order, and the development of competent leaders through servant-hearted authority. Ultimately, the sermon calls the church to reject worldly distractions, honor genuine spiritual gifts, and advance the kingdom with a long-term vision rooted in the certainty of Christ's ultimate triumph. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22226203477307 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:08:57 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2826192734309 The sermon presents a comprehensive theological framework for understanding the law of God through the lens of three distinct categories: moral, ceremonial, and civil. It argues that the moral law, rooted in God's unchanging nature and written on Adam's heart, remains binding for all people at all times, as summarized in the Ten Commandments and fulfilled in Christ. Ceremonial laws, which include religious symbols and rituals such as sacrifices and the Sabbath, were temporary institutions given to the Old Testament church under age to prefigure Christ's work and are now abrogated in the New Covenant, though their spiritual meaning endures. Civil laws, governing justice, governance, and punishment, are grounded in universal principles of equity and justice derived from God's moral law, applicable across nations even as their specific applications vary. The sermon emphasizes that the law's threefold use—as a mirror revealing sin, a chain restraining evil, and a lamp guiding life—does not contradict grace but is fulfilled in the believer's heart through the Spirit's work, affirming that true faith produces obedience not as a means of salvation but as a fruit of it. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2826192734309 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:07:02 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/28261924202883 The sermon centers on Genesis 4 as a profound exploration of three enduring threats to the church—heresy, persecution, and seduction—with a primary focus on persecution as a consequence of faithful witness and righteous living. It emphasizes that true worship must be grounded in both faith in Christ and obedience to God's appointed forms, rejecting human inventions that distort divine worship. Cain's rejection, anger, and murder of Abel illustrate how unrighteous anger, rooted in covetousness and pride, leads to spiritual alienation and violence, while God's response reveals divine justice, mercy, and the necessity of repentance. The passage underscores that persecution is not merely martyrdom but suffering for righteousness, and the church must respond with courage, comfort, and a commitment to uphold truth, honor the persecuted, and resist the subtle forms of hatred that erode community. Ultimately, the text calls for a faithful, self-controlled, and loving community that upholds God's moral order, resists the spirit of Cain, and advances the kingdom through disciplined, Christ-centered living. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/28261924202883 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:04:54 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/28261925393205 The sermon presents Genesis 4 as the foundational moment of the 'city of man'—a society born from rebellion, exile, and covenantal defiance, initiated by Cain's murder of Abel and his subsequent expulsion from the covenant community. Central to this theme is the contrast between the city of God, rooted in divine covenants, faith, and the worship of the true God, and the city of man, which arises from human autonomy, self-righteousness, and the rejection of God's authority, even as it mimics the structures of order, family, and craftsmanship. The text emphasizes that the city of man, though capable of building cities, developing arts, and organizing society, remains fundamentally unstable, alienated, and cursed, as its achievements are devoid of spiritual life and ultimately serve to oppose God's kingdom. The sermon underscores that true societal order is only possible through divine covenant, and that the church's role is to maintain discipline, mark off the unrepentant, and stand as a living witness to God's truth, even amid the world's persistent hostility. Ultimately, the city of man is a paradox: it functions through human covenanting and cooperation, yet it is built on a foundation of rebellion and will be transformed only by the redemptive power of God's grace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/28261925393205 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:10:09 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2126204634442 The sermon unfolds the profound theological implications of Genesis 3–4, centering on the consequences of the Fall, the duality of the city of God and the city of man, and the first manifestation of spiritual conflict through Cain and Abel. It emphasizes the curse on creation, the breakdown of human relationships, and the introduction of death, toil, and alienation, all rooted in unbelief and the rejection of God's authority. The narrative highlights the Gospel promise in Genesis 3:15—the seed of the woman who will crush the serpent's head—as the foundational hope, illustrated through the ceremonial institutions of sacrifice and clothing, which prefigure Christ's substitutionary atonement and imputed righteousness. The contrast between Cain's offering of the fruit of the ground and Abel's offering of the firstborn of his flock underscores the necessity of faith and divine appointment in worship, with Abel's acceptance and Cain's rejection revealing the heart's condition and the danger of self-reliance. Ultimately, the story of Cain and Abel serves as a typological warning about the internal struggle with sin, the responsibility of individuals before God, and the tragic consequences of unrepentant rebellion, even within the context of a godly lineage, while affirming that true faith is a gift from God and the only means of overcoming the world. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2126204634442 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:53:22 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2126204834428 The sermon centers on the theological significance of worship, covenant, and righteousness as revealed in Genesis 3–4, emphasizing that the church is a covenant society established by God from the beginning, marked by external forms of worship such as sacrifice and Sabbath observance. It argues that true worship is not merely internal faith but must conform to God's revealed will, as seen in Abel's acceptable offering—given in faith and according to divine command—contrasted with Cain's rejection due to disobedience and self-justification. The passage highlights the danger of spiritual pride, the natural human tendency toward covetousness and persecution when confronted with righteous living, and the necessity of submitting to God's justice rather than demanding grace as a right. Drawing from Scripture and Reformed tradition, it underscores the regulative principle of worship, the importance of external religious forms as signs of covenantal fidelity, and the ongoing conflict between the church and the world, culminating in the martyrdom of the righteous and the call to humility, repentance, and faithful resistance to sin. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2126204834428 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:06:15 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12626345451000 The sermon centers on Genesis 3 as the foundational narrative of humanity's fall, revealing sin as the fundamental rebellion against God's authority—autonomy versus theonomy—where humanity's desire to define good and evil for itself constitutes a direct challenge to God's sovereignty. It unpacks the serpent's deception as a prototype of demonic temptation, emphasizing how sin begins with distrust in God's goodness and leads to self-justification, hiding, and blame-shifting, all of which are contrasted with the true response of repentance. The passage is presented as the first proclamation of the Gospel, where God institutes the covenant of grace through the promise of a coming seed who will crush the serpent's head, foreshadowing Christ's victory over evil. The sermon highlights the theological significance of the curse, the symbolism of clothing and sacrifice as pointers to Christ's imputed righteousness and atonement, and the necessity of recognizing God's triune nature in His self-revelation. Ultimately, the narrative is framed as the origin of both human tragedy and divine redemption, with Adam and Eve's response—faith in the promise—marking the beginning of a covenantal relationship that culminates in the hope of eternal life through Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12626345451000 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:02:58 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1262634733744 The sermon presents a comprehensive theological framework centered on the contrast between the covenant of works and the covenant of grace, using Genesis 3 and Romans 5:12–21 as foundational texts. It emphasizes that Adam, as the federal head, represented all humanity, resulting in the imputation of sin and death to all, while Christ, as the second Adam, fulfills the covenant of works through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death, offering justification and eternal life to all whom the Father has given Him. The sermon highlights that the covenant of grace, administered differently throughout history—from promises, sacrifices, and rituals in the Old Testament to the preaching of the Word and sacraments in the New—remains one in essence, with its efficacy grounded not in external forms but in the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. It affirms that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, with faith being an instrument, not a meritorious work, and that God's sovereignty in predestination does not make Him the author of sin, as He governs all things as the ultimate, responsible cause while holding creatures accountable for their sin. The sermon concludes by affirming the believer's progressive sanctification and ultimate glorification, where the will is perfected in freedom to do only good, reflecting the fullness of God's redemptive plan. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1262634733744 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:16:16 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262029313032 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262029313032 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:59:47 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262030576182 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262030576182 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:10:11 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262024316862 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262024316862 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:04:17 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262026386167 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31262026386167 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:57:29 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12282522783601 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12282522783601 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:51:16 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/122925142217694 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/122925142217694 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:16:52 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1228252155505453 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1228252155505453 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:47:51 no David Reece - Topical https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/122825220585391 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/122825220585391 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 1:01:08 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1214252111287170 The sermon presents a comprehensive biblical theology of the household as a divinely instituted covenantal order, rooted in Genesis and developed throughout Scripture, emphasizing the sacred duties of all members—husbands, wives, parents, children, and servants—within their God-ordained roles. Central to this vision is the call to faithful, diligent service grounded in reverence for God and obedience to authority, illustrated through the fourfold duty of care, obedience, accounting, and loyalty, with a strong emphasis on serving Christ in all things. The sermon draws extensively from Proverbs and New Testament household codes to exhort believers to cultivate diligence, integrity, and humility in their work, highlighting that faithful stewardship—whether in small or large responsibilities—leads to honor, reward, and the glorification of God, while negligence and rebellion result in shame and loss. It concludes with a pastoral challenge to embrace the dignity of service, reject laziness and pride, and pursue excellence in all vocations as an act of worship, knowing that every faithful act done to the Lord will be rewarded in due time. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1214252111287170 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:04:17 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/121525154237780 The sermon centers on the biblical mandate for church order, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing and honoring faithful elders who labor diligently in the Word, not for their titles but for their faithful service and adherence to Scripture. It underscores that true ecclesiastical authority is derived from Christ alone, exercised through biblical discipline, admonition, and love, not human tradition or authoritarianism, and calls for a return to sola Scriptura in doctrine, worship, and governance. The church is exhorted to maintain peace not through compromise with sin and error, but through loving, patient, and biblically grounded correction of the unruly, comfort for the fainthearted, and support for the weak, all rooted in the authority of Scripture and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The preacher warns against the dangers of legalism, cultural accommodation, and the erosion of biblical standards, especially in worship and doctrine, and calls believers to reject false peace built on toleration of heresy in favor of a deeper, scriptural unity. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a renewed commitment to biblical truth, faithful leadership, and a disciplined, grace-filled community that lives under the lordship of Christ and the authority of His Word. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/121525154237780 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:41:39 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12142521344403 The sermon centers on the divine design of marriage and the household as a sacred, God-ordained institution rooted in Genesis 2, where the union of man and woman reflects the covenantal relationship between Christ and the Church. It emphasizes that marriage is not merely a social contract but a theological reality with three divine purposes: mutual help, the procreation of holy offspring, and the prevention of uncleanness, all grounded in the authority of Scripture and the consistent teaching of the New Testament household codes. The preacher argues forcefully against the modern reinterpretation of biblical submission as 'mutual submission,' asserting that the clear, repeated commands for wives to submit to their husbands and for husbands to love sacrificially are not oppressive but essential to the functional integrity of the family and the broader social order. Drawing on Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, and Titus, the sermon presents a robust defense of biblical gender roles, portraying the husband's leadership and the wife's submission as complementary duties that, when honored, produce beauty, holiness, and a powerful witness to the world. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to embrace God's design with courage, recognizing that true freedom lies not in rejecting authority but in joyful obedience to the law of God, which leads to lasting joy, spiritual fruitfulness, and the glorification of Christ in the home. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12142521344403 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:00:39 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12142521751396 The sermon presents a comprehensive theological vision of marriage, family, and servanthood rooted in Scripture, emphasizing covenantal relationships grounded in mutual submission, divine order, and the fear of God. Drawing from Genesis 2 and the household codes of Ephesians, Colossians, and 1 Peter, it underscores marriage as a sacred union of one flesh, designed for mutual help, procreation, and the prevention of uncleanness, while highlighting the dignity of both spouses as co-heirs in Christ. The teaching extends to the broader social order, calling children and servants to obedient, respectful, and faithful service—not merely to human masters, but to the Lord, with the promise of divine reward and the example of Christ's patient suffering. It critiques modern cultural trends that distort authority and service, advocating for a return to biblical principles of justice, accountability, and covenantal responsibility, particularly through the restoration of apprenticeships and trusted community-based arbitration as alternatives to a costly, adversarial legal system. Ultimately, the sermon calls the church to embody a culture of honor, humility, and mutual care, where every role—whether parent, child, servant, or leader—is lived out in faithful obedience to God's design, with the hope of eternal reward and the flourishing of God's kingdom on earth. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12142521751396 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:54:49 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1130252013337566 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1130252013337566 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:13:15 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112425216274359 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112425216274359 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:11:35 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112425219593512 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112425219593512 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:17:02 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1116252018475855 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1116252018475855 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:07:17 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111725341234239 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111725341234239 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:03:47 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111025229383798 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111025229383798 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:55:45 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111025232212673 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111025232212673 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:06:17 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/11102522686020 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/11102522686020 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:20 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111025228191667 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/111025228191667 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:55:43 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112251956554615 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112251956554615 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:59:26 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112251958166608 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112251958166608 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:57:11 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1019252035252012 This sermon presents a theological and exegetical exploration of Genesis 2–4, emphasizing the transition from divine creation to providential history, marked by the Hebrew term 'Toledot' as the framework for human genealogy and divine purpose. It highlights God's sovereign care in forming Adam from dust and breathing into him the breath of life, establishing humanity as the image of God with rational, spiritual, and moral capacities, distinct from animals and rooted in divine sovereignty. The sermon underscores the significance of the divine name Yahweh, revealed as 'I am who I am,' affirming God's eternal, unchangeable, and self-existent nature, and contrasts this with liberal interpretations that reduce the name to cultural development. Central to the message is the idea that history is not random but a divine narrative of God's glory displayed through human lineage, covenant, and the unfolding of redemption, culminating in the fall, the first promise of salvation, and the establishment of worship, all grounded in the authority and truth of Scripture as the only true science of religion. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1019252035252012 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:56:01 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112251954405626 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/112251954405626 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:03:46 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/101225213546302 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/101225213546302 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:38:23 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/101925203259907 The sermon presents the Sabbath not as a day of idle rest, but as a divinely instituted time for holy worship, rooted in God's creation and sanctification of the seventh day, which reflects His transition from creative work to providential governance. It emphasizes that the Sabbath is a perpetual moral ordinance, fulfilled in the Christian Lord's Day, and calls believers to intentionally fill it with public and private worship—prayer, Scripture, preaching, singing, sacraments, and acts of mercy—while avoiding worldly distractions. Drawing from the Westminster Standards, the sermon underscores the responsibility of household leaders to organize and steward the day for spiritual growth, using it as a time to catechize, study, and foster holy fellowship. The central message is that the Sabbath is a gift from God to delight in His presence, to deepen communion with Him, and to cultivate a life of continual worship, making it a vital, joyful, and transformative practice for the Christian life. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/101925203259907 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:05:49 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1012252131372028 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1012252131372028 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:40 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1012252133316805 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/1012252133316805 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:01:45 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/9282523034683 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/9282523034683 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:42:29 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/929251176856 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/929251176856 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:57:46 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/92725237236102 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/92725237236102 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:37:42 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/92725242547833 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/92725242547833 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:41:12 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/914252234431817 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/914252234431817 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:50:05 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/92725235482149 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/92725235482149 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:49:20 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/914252230465684 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/914252230465684 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:00:40 no David Reece https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/91425223332593 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/91425223332593 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:52:32 no David Reece - Genesis https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/97251247294168 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/97251247294168 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:45:33 no Brian Schwertley - 1st Thessalonians https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/82525239581636 Galatians six emphasizes the interconnectedness of spiritual restoration, bearing one another's burdens, and personal accountability.

While earthly rulers hold power, they cannot prevent death or guarantee lasting security. Solomon's reflections show that the pursuit of human favor—especially that of powerful authorities—is ultimately vain. Only God does what He pleases and holds power over life and death. Wisdom teaches us to honor authority rightly, live with discernment, and seek the favor of the true King, Jesus Christ, who alone gives victory over death. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/420251552254013 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:55 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/42025155992193 Preaching from Ecclesiastes 8:10–9:12, Pastor Reece exposes the vanity of a world where justice is delayed, the wicked prosper, and the righteous suffer. He warns that when the wicked go unpunished, it hardens others to sin and empties life of meaning. Yet he affirms that true justice will come—if not now, then at God's appointed time. The sermon contrasts the futility of life "under the sun" with the hope that belongs to those who fear God. Only through faith in God can we find meaning in suffering, comfort in injustice, and joy in life despite its brevity and unpredictability. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/42025155992193 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:23 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325140143075 Pastor Reece preaches from Ecclesiastes 7:1–8:1, showing how true wisdom comes from God, not from ourselves. He explains that the heart in Scripture is not just emotions, but the mind, will, and desires. Solomon's struggle with sin and folly reminds us that even our failures are used by God for His glory. We are called to seek wisdom through God's Word and Spirit, depend on Him in trials, and not hide our need for help out of pride. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325140143075 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:48:17 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325145102938 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325145102938 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:10:58 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/32625184839126 In this powerful and far-reaching sermon, Pastor Reece unpacks Ecclesiastes 7:19–29 and 1 Corinthians 1–3 to reveal the surpassing value of true wisdom. Contrasting worldly reputation, human philosophy, and outward power with the revealed wisdom of God in Christ, this message calls believers to forsake the fleeting glory of man and embrace the mind of Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/32625184839126 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:15:33 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/3262518515770 This sermon on Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," unpacks the sixth Beatitude by examining the biblical meaning of the heart, the nature of purity, and how these relate to sanctification. It confronts common misunderstandings such as sinless perfectionism, external religiosity, and emotional or intellectual-only views of faith. Through a rich study of Scripture, it shows that purity of heart is a sovereign work of God through regeneration, evidenced in sincere repentance, a life of integrity, and a continual pursuit of holiness. Only the pure in heart—those transformed by the Holy Spirit—will truly behold God, both now by faith and fully in glory. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/3262518515770 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 0:57:42 no Brian Schwertley https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/32625184422192 In this message, Pastor Schwertley explores the theological implications of Christ's resurrection. From Christ's divine power in raising Himself, to the resurrection's role in our justification, sanctification, and glorification, we see that the empty tomb is not just proof of life after death—it is the foundation of the entire Christian faith. This sermon draws from Scripture to show that Jesus' resurrection was not only a historical fact but a cosmic turning point that secured our victory, vindicated His mission, and guaranteed the restoration of all things. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/32625184422192 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Brian Schwertley 1:10:05 no Brian Schwertley https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251829235953 The sermon on Ecclesiastes 7 explores the fleeting nature of reputation and the dangers of living for public approval rather than the true good—knowing God. The preacher examines how reputation, though valuable, is not ultimate, as it can be lost through oppression, bribery, or changing societal tides. The passage deconstructs false goods such as wealth, power, and honor, revealing them as insufficient foundations for life. Instead, wisdom—the knowledge of God—grants true life and security. The sermon warns against nostalgia for past "better days" and urges believers to embrace God's providence, trusting Him in both prosperity and adversity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251829235953 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:39:17 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625188513979 he sermon on Ecclesiastes 7 explores the fleeting nature of reputation and the dangers of pursuing it as life's ultimate goal. It contrasts the temporary honor of a good name with the lasting value of wisdom, emphasizing that reputation alone can lead to pride, oppression, and corruption. The preacher highlights how mourning refines the soul, while feasting and laughter often lead to foolishness. The message urges believers to seek God as the highest good rather than striving for worldly validation, reminding them that wisdom, not reputation, brings true fulfillment and prepares the soul for eternity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625188513979 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:39:44 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251743342578 This sermon on Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 warns against hypocrisy in worship, rash vows, and the deceptive pursuit of wealth. The preacher emphasizes that true worship requires wisdom, not empty words or self-serving rituals. Just as hasty vows lead to sin, so does the love of money breed dissatisfaction and ruin. While God gives prosperity, it should never distract from the weight of eternity. The message concludes with a call to fear God, live wisely, and reject the vanities of a life spent chasing wealth without eternal purpose. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251743342578 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:58:49 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625183456058 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625183456058 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:57:14 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes
