This dissertation offers an analysis of sermons preached in the Independent Presbyterian Church of Brazil (IPIB) in search of its theological profile. The first chapter presents IPIB's history, from its theological origins in Calvin until its constitution, highlighting the North American influence on the theology of IPIB. The second chapter explains the methodology by which the sermons will be analysed. Ethics in a Reformed perspective was chosen as the discussion's parameter. Finally, selected sermons are investigated in this ethical perspective, contrasting them with IPIB' s history, together with the official documents of this church. As a hypothesis, two groups acting within IPIB are identified, an evangelical-charismatic and an ecumenical one. It is also noted that it is not possible to construct an ethics within IPIB merely in calvinist terms, without renewing it in the light of an inclusive hermeneutics centred in Jesus Christ.
