Divine justice may be delayed, but it is never denied. When we see evil succeed and the wicked prosper, we often question if God sees or cares. The story of Abimelech in Judges 8-9 demonstrates that God's justice works according to His perfect timing. After Abimelech murdered his 70 brothers and ruled for three years, God orchestrated his downfall through a series of events. This biblical account...

The story of Gideon challenges our cultural obsession with strength and self-sufficiency by showing how God intentionally reduced Gideon's army from 32,000 to just 300 men. This divine strategy ensured that Israel couldn't take credit for the victory over the Midianites. Like Gideon, we're called to embrace our limitations rather than hide them, understanding that God's power is made perfect in we...

When facing God's call, our hesitation often stems from a small view of God rather than the magnitude of the task. Gideon's journey teaches us three vital lessons about God's character: He deserves undivided loyalty and will not share His glory with idols; He is trustworthy and will protect those who obey Him; and He provides exactly what we need when we need it. God doesn't seek the strongest or...

God meets believers in their weakness, just as He met Gideon, providing three essential gifts: His presence, His promises, and His peace. Through difficult circumstances and trials, God's presence remains constant and more valuable than any circumstance change. Like Gideon, who moved from hiding to serving God's purpose, believers can find strength by anchoring their faith in God's promises and se...

Experiencing God can profoundly motivate us to share the gospel. Isaiah 6 illustrates how an encounter with God transformed Isaiah's willingness to spread His message. Despite knowing the people wouldn't listen, Isaiah's awe of God's glory drove him to say, 'Here I am, send me.' Every believer is called to be a missionary, sharing the gospel in their own context. This week, challenge yourself to t...

In a world obsessed with self-definition, this Bible study challenges the modern concept of expressive individualism by presenting a biblical perspective on identity.

This identity shapes our lives, redefining our values and actions in light of our relati...

Righteousness often seems like an unattainable goal, yet the Bible reveals it as a divine gift accessible through faith, not by our own merits. We are all familiar with the inherent nature of sin, but through Jesus Christ, we encounter a transformative moment that redefines our existence from condemnation to justification. This righteousness, which is apart from the law, is a universal invitation...

Every individual will face God's judgment, a sobering truth underscored in Romans 2:5-16. Our deeds are the basis for this judgment, yet they cannot earn us salvation. With God showing no partiality, all are held to the standard of His law, which reveals our universal guilt and inability to achieve perfection. However, the gospel provides hope, offering righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ,...

This sermon explores the human tendency to self-justify and the stark contrast with God's righteous judgment. We are reminded that all are guilty before God, whether outwardly immoral or self-righteously moral. The sermon emphasizes that God's mercy is meant to lead us to true repentance, not to excuse sin, and concludes with a call to genuine repentance and transformation through faith in Jesus C...

What happens to someone who actively opposes God and denies the evidence of God's existence, power, and authority that is made evident through creation? Listen to the latest message from Romans to find the answer and learn about the hope that exists to escape God's frightful wrath.

Does God have a good reason to be angry? Is His wrath justified? Join us to discover the answer to those questions as Pastor Matt Keller explains Romans 1:18.

It is foolish to ignore clear warnings of impending danger. Romans 1:18 reveals a profound truth and issues a powerful warning. The question that lies before us is, what will you do with that warning?

"What, then, shall mortal man do to be right with God?" That question is THE question that must be answered. In this sermon, Pastor Matt shows two revelations from Romans 1:16-17 that answer life's greatest question.

We care about many things, but how often do we order our priorities in such a way that we care more for the things of this life than we care for that which is eternal? In this sermon, Pastor Matt shows us from Romans 1:8-15 that we should care for the right things because genuine care leads to action.

In the sermon "Getting The Gospel Right," Pastor Matt Keller elaborates on the opening chapter of the book of Romans.
