Welcome to the Preached Word. In this sermon on Proverbs 1:7–9, Dr. Walker asks what makes Christian education truly Christian, and he finds the answer in Solomon’s governing principle: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge (Prov. 1:7). From mathematics and the physical sciences to history and the kitchen table, he shows why no subject stands outside God’s claim, why parents bear the charge to teach, and why every lesson finds its aim in Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:3).

Welcome to the Preached Word. Jesus moves from promise to command in John 14:15-17, telling his disciples that love for him proves itself in obedience — and then, knowing that obedience lies beyond their strength, he promises the gift that makes it possible. Today we consider what it means to love Christ by keeping his Word, why we need a Comforter, and what it means for the Spirit of truth to dwell within us.

Welcome to the Preached Word. In John 14:12–14 Jesus ties two promises together: the church's works, greater in reach than his own miracles because the Spirit poured out at Pentecost carries the gospel to every nation, and prayer offered in his name, answered by the very authority he shares with the Father. Today we ask what it means to work and pray with that kind of confidence.

Welcome to the Preached Word. This sermon on John 14:8–11 takes up Philip's request, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us (John 14:8), and traces Christ's answer through his words, his works, and the old doctrine of the extra Calvinisticum. Dr. Frank Walker shows why the Father has already been revealed fully in the Son, and why the restless heart needs not a new vision but a firmer faith.

Welcome to the Preached Word. In John 14:5, Thomas speaks for every believer who has stared into the dark and wondered whether the way to God is really as sure as it seemed — and Jesus answers him not with an argument but with a person: I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). Today's sermon on John 14:4–7 traces that answer from Thomas's honest despair to the settled faith that Christ alone makes possible.

Welcome to the Preached Word. On the night of his arrest, Jesus spoke some of the most tender and certain words in all of Scripture to men whose world was falling apart — words about a prepared place, an unshakeable promise, and a reunion that no power on earth can prevent. In this sermon on John 14:1–3, Dr. Frank Walker sets before us the comfort that sustained the eleven through suffering and martyrdom, and that sustains us still.

Welcome to the Preached Word. In Matthew 6:19–21, Jesus goes straight to the thing that tells the truth about ourselves, namely, what we treasure. This sermon by Dr. Frank Walker follows that searching word into the heart, asking not merely where we keep our valuables, but who, finally, holds us.

Welcome to the Preached Word. Solomon's command in Proverbs 4:23 — "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" — cuts straight to the source of everything we say, do, and love, which is precisely why we are so reluctant to take it seriously. In this sermon, Dr. Frank Walker shows us that this command is not a burden to crush us but a grace-given call, made possible only because Jesus kept his heart perfectly in our place and now guards ours by his Spirit.
