Junction Baptist Church Podcast – Mahogany, SE Calgary

In this episode, we continue our study through Romans as we examine Romans 2:11–16. Paul reminds us that God judges without partiality, He is not impressed by religious heritage, biblical knowledge, or outward morality. His standard has always been perfect obedience. At first glance, Paul's words that "the doers of the law will be justified" may seem to teach salvation by works. But in context, Pa...

In this sermon from Romans 2:7–10, we continue our study of God's righteous judgment and examine the two paths that define every human life. The Apostle Paul contrasts the Godward heart that seeks glory, honor, and immortality with the self-seeking heart that rejects the truth and obeys unrighteousness. This passage challenges us to look beyond outward behavior and examine the true desires of our...

In Romans 2:4–6, Paul confronts one of the most dangerous deceptions of the human heart: mistaking God's patience for His approval. Many assume that because judgment has not yet come, they must be safe. Yet God's kindness, forbearance, and patience are not signs of innocence, they are an invitation to repentance. This message exposes the false security of self-righteousness, the reality of storing...

In Romans 2:1–3, Paul turns from the openly immoral sinner to the respectable moralist. Those who condemn the sins of others often assume they stand in a safer position before God, yet Paul dismantles that illusion. Our judgments reveal that we know God's standards, leaving us without excuse before Him. God's judgment is not based on appearances, religious credentials, or comparisons with others,...

What does it mean when Paul says, "God gave them over"? In this verse-by-verse exposition of Romans, we examine God's judgment against humanity's rebellion, the reality of total depravity, and the urgent need for the Gospel. This message calls believers to stand on the authority of Scripture while finding hope in Christ, the only refuge for sinners.

In this sermon from Romans 1:21–23, we reflect on the condition of the human heart apart from the grace of God. Paul shows how humanity, though knowing about God through His revelation, refused to honor Him or give thanks. The result was spiritual darkness, futile thinking, and idolatry. Yet this passage also humbles us, reminding us that apart from God’s grace, their heart is our heart. Join us a...

In this sermon from Romans 1:18–20, we begin one of the most serious and foundational sections in Paul’s letter to the Romans. After revealing the righteousness of God in the Gospel, Paul now confronts humanity with the reality of God’s holy wrath against sin. What is the wrath of God? Why is it necessary? And why can humanity not claim ignorance before God? This message explores humanity’s suppre...

In this sermon on Romans 1:15–17, we explore why Paul was unashamed of the gospel and why he called it “the power of God unto salvation.” This message unpacks the righteousness of God revealed through faith alone, the saving power of Christ, and what it means for believers to live “from faith to faith.” A call to stop trusting in ourselves and rest fully in the grace and righteousness of Christ.

In this sermon from Romans 1:8–15, we see that the Gospel does more than save individuals—it creates a people. The apostle Paul, though strong in faith and ministry, expresses a deep longing to be with the church. Why? Because God strengthens His people through the mutual encouragement of faith. Christianity is not a solo journey, it is a shared life, where believers build one another up through t...

In this message from Romans 1:7, we come to the final words of Paul’s introduction and discover a powerful truth about the Christian life: before we are called to do anything, we are first told who we are. Paul reminds the church that believers are loved by God , called to be saints , and living under grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. This sermon explores these truths...

In this sermon from Romans 1:1–7 (focusing on verse 5 and 6), we see that the gospel of God does not merely inform us, it calls us. After unfolding the gospel as promised in the Scriptures and declared in power through the resurrection, and after establishing the weight of Christ’s Lordship and our identity as His servants, Paul now turns to us: “including you who are called to belong to Jesus Chr...

Preached on April 12th, 2026, this sermon continues our journey through Romans by focusing on one central truth: Jesus Christ is Lord. In a world where “lord” often means little more than respect, Scripture presents something far greater, authority, ownership, and total allegiance. Looking at Romans 1:1–7, we see how Paul understood his identity as a servant (slave) of Christ, and how the resurrec...
