Today we are witnessing a return to legalistic ceremonialism and ritualism in the worship of some Evangelical churches. This is especially true in Reformed churches today.
The smells, bells, lamps and candles of the Old Covenant and Romanism are reappearing. So are priestly vestments, processions, and a focus on the Eucharist instead of preaching. Congregations are told that they must gather each week for "covenant renewal".
Hebrews tells us that this return to legalism tramples Christ underfoot, makes the blood of the New Covenant a common thing, and insults the Holy Spirit. What is behind this deadly trend? How can believers stand against it? Stay tuned to find out.

“ Powerful Sermon! ” This is one of the strongest teachings by Dr. Elliott on the danger of legalism that is entering in many churches. I will listen to this teaching at least one more time because it's so revealing on what we must believe is Christ Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
