Author Description

Matthew Mead's The Christian's Duty to Walk Wisely is a practical exploration of the believer's spiritual journey, addressing the holy command for Christians to navigate life with wisdom and grace. Anchored in Ephesians 5:15-16 and Psalm 131, this work challenges and encourages readers to live with godly discernment and contentment in the midst of temptations. <p>The first sermon, Walk Wisely, explores the Christian's responsibility to live circumspectly in a fallen world fraught with temptation and evil. Mead exhorts believers to navigate life with spiritual wisdom-avoiding folly, redeeming the time, and relying wholly on the grace of Christ. Through rich biblical exposition and practical application, he addresses the nature of temptation, the dangers of self-confidence, and the necessity of prayer, faith, and reliance on Scripture. With clarity and pastoral insight, Mead equips Christians to triumph over sin and stand firm against Satan's schemes. <p>The second sermon, The Power of Grace, takes its cue from David's confession in Psalm 131: "Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother." Mead explores the heart-transforming work of grace that weans the believer from worldly affections and fosters a spirit of humility, contentment, and childlike dependence on God. He examines the believer's resemblance to a weaned child-helpless yet trusting, detached from earthly vanities yet nourished by the rich promises of God. This sermon offers invaluable guidance on finding satisfaction in Christ and cultivating a life rooted in heavenly affections rather than temporal comforts. <p>Together, these sermons serve as a guide for professing Christians, offering biblical counsel on: <br>- Walking wisely in a fallen, temptation-filled world.<br>- Trusting in God's providence amidst trials and uncertainties.<br>- Cultivating humility, contentment, and a teachable spirit.<br>- Detaching from the fleeting allure of the world and setting affections
