Recordings from Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary’s annual conference, featuring sermons, lectures, and panel discussions on key theological, historical, and pastoral topics.

Calvin and the Worship of God

Examines Psalm 2 and John Calvin’s pastoral emphasis: worship is central—meeting with God—and must follow Scripture (the regulative principle); theology exists to serve the church.

The Purpose of Worship

Sermon on Psalm 100 outlining the duty, purpose and foundation of corporate worship—calling nations and the redeemed to praise and serve God in Christ and in truth.

The History of Worship in Presbyterian Churches

Overview of worship history in Reformed/Presbyterian churches: Calvin’s liturgy and regulative principle, psalter use, Knox’s reforms, and the Westminster Directory’s worship and Sabbath.

The Psalms and Contemporary Christian Music

A critique of contemporary Christian music and its rapid spread in Protestant worship. Traces roots to revivalist and Pentecostal hymnody and questions its theology and simplicity.

Reformed Liturgy

Argues for reclaiming richer Reformed liturgy and intentional worship postures, affirming forms consistent with the regulative principle and historic Presbyterian practice.

Worship from the Heart

Exposition of John 4 urging worship in spirit and truth: prioritize heart and Scripture over external rites; Christ is apprehended chiefly by the preached Word and sacraments.

The Glory and Beauty of God

Exposition of Psalm 93 declaring Jehovah/Jesus as eternal, majestic, and mighty King whose reign calls for holy worship and response; ties Psalms 92–100 and the Sabbath.

Seeing God’s Glory

Sermon on Moses’ plea “Show me thy glory” (Exod. 33). Calls believers to secret communion, humble boldness in prayer, and a deeper longing for God’s glory amid trials.

Experimental Calvinism

A sermon arguing that true Calvinism is experimental biblical Christianity—theocentric, deeply experiential, and doxological—rooted in Scripture and the Reformed/Puritan heritage.

John Calvin, Practical Theologian

Examines John Calvin as a practical theologian, linking sound doctrine with lived piety and the Holy Spirit’s work in regeneration, union with Christ, and everyday holiness.

Communion with God

A Puritan sermon on ‘Communion with God’ stressing that fellowship with the Father and Son is every believer’s birthright, grounded in union with Christ and God’s initiating grace.

The Puritan Practice of Meditation

A talk on Puritan meditation: its nature, occasional vs deliberate forms, biblical grounding, and its role as a vital means of grace shaping mind, heart and life.

The Lord’s Day and Communion with God

Argues the Lord’s Day is the Christian Sabbath. Exodus 31 teaches careful observance as a sanctifying sign: rest from labor and celebratory worship fostering piety.

Presentation of Redemptive Historical Preaching

Defends biblical theology against charges that it lacks practical application, arguing the debate is presuppositional. Applies Van Til’s critique and traces links among ethics, history, and rhetoric.

Redemptive Historical Preaching, A Critique

Argues Reformed preaching must pair explication with application, critiquing redemptive-historical approaches that avoid exhortation. Indicatives lead to imperatives.

Definitive Sanctification

Sermon on definitive sanctification: justification and sanctification are inseparable. Paul (Romans 6:1–14) teaches believers die to sin and live in Christ, rejecting antinomianism.

Nature and Goal of Sanctification

A call to take progressive sanctification seriously: holiness is essential, a divinely-worked war against indwelling sin, grounded in sound doctrine and lived out in Christian fellowship.

The Means of Grace and Sanctification

Sanctification is God’s efficacious work, accomplished through God-appointed means, especially the church, preaching, and sacraments, within a Calvinist, covenantal framework.

The Theological Basis for Mortification

Hybrid sermon-lecture urging the mortification of sin (sanctification), grounded in Romans 8:13 and John 3:27, recommending Owen and pressing pastors to preach this truth.
