Romans 8:1-11, known as the “inner sanctuary of the cathedral of faith” is a definitive declaration on the freedom that Christians have in Christ, the new life given through the Holy Spirit, and the ongoing transformation that takes place as we live according to the Spirit rather than the flesh.

Romans 6 (among many other passages) plainly teaches that the goal of Jesus’s healing work breaks  the power of sin . The Holy Spirit’s work is able to heal the deepest wounds in our lives. Often times (especially in Western, Protestant Christianity) we think that being a Christian is simply being free from the guilt of sin ( justification ). But it’s much more than this. Being a Christian is bein...

As we look at Romans 5:12–21 (the classic text on the doctrine of Original Sin), we will ask and answer the question, "Must sinning be automatic?"

Jesus plainly teaches in Matthew 18:21–35 that people who are forgiven yet refuse to forgive others are evil (and will themselves go unforgiven). Grace is the means through which the Kingdom comes into the world. Yes, this means the grace that God gives us that “while we were still sinners…but also the grace that we give one another that “while we were still sinners”! In this passage Paul discusse...

This is a sermon on worship. From Romans 3:21–26, we look at Paul dealing with the issue facing the churches in Rome of the Messianic Jews require gentiles to follow the traditions of Moses to be saved. e

This sermon explores the notion of the wrath of God. More specifically, there is no love of God without God's wrath. The two are interlinked. Furthermore, there wrath of God pronounced in the New Testament is quite strong, especially against (1) false teachers and (2) those who fail to care for people most in need.

This sermon is based on Romans 1:17. As Oswald Chambers writes, "The one marvellous secret of a holy life lies not in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in my mortal flesh. Sanctification is 'Christ in you.' It is His wonderful life that is imparted to me in sanctification, and imparted by faith as a sovereign gift of God’s grace. Am I willing...

These two verses are the thesis of Paul’s letter to the Romans, and therefore very important. Paul first says that he’s not ashamed of the gospel. It’s easy for Christians to be tempted to be ashamed of the gospel because it is so contrary and opposed to all other worldviews. Paul, unlike other so-called “apostles,” proclaimed even the hard parts of the gospel when so many thought it silly or scan...

This is the start of our sermon series on Paul's letter to the Romans. Romans 1:1–7 is the text for the sermon and the focus is on the gospel as not only a thing, but also—and more importantly—a Person. To be a Christian is not just to be one whose status has changed from guilty to innocent, but one who is in a dynamic, living relationship with Jesus.

This sermon explores Paul's correspondence to the church at Ephesus in Acts 20. Paul is compelled to do the right thing, including proclaiming an unpopular message that leads to persecution, but cause it is his duty. Strangely, the church grows through the proclamation of an unpopular message. This is the case because God is the one who gives the growth and honors churches who boldly and faith...

This sermons explores Acts 18:24–28. In this text we see that while mystery (i.e., sacrament) is at the heart of the Christian faith and worldview, there is also a powerful inner logical consistence and coherence to the Christian worldview. This, in turn, means that NOT everything goes. Furthermore, we also see that the church grows by both attrition and new believer baptisms, and that part of the...

In this story we learn that the persecution of the church results in the gospel spreading to areas outside of Jerusalem. This is the promise of Jesus fulfilled as his followers obey his command to make disciples of all nations. When the church spreads, the church faces new challenges. This story teaches us about the nature of those challenges and how to overcome them. Overall, we learn that when t...

This sermon considers sacramental theology and how Holy Communion not only sustains the life of the church, but is the fuel for the mission of the church to proclaim Jesus in word and deed.

There are two kinds of conflict in the church: (1) internal (Acts 6:1–7) and (2) external (Acts 6:8–15). Sin is the root cause of both. While internal sin occasionally pops up, it is external opposition to the church that should be the most common. After the internal strife is dealt with (Acts 6:1–7), the work continues, yet so does the opposition. To our amazement, the most opposition the church...

How do you know if someone is a true Christian? In the old covenant, adherence to the 613 commands of the Torah marked the people of God. In the new covenant in Christ, self-giving love (i.e., holiness; Christ-like love) empowered by the Holy Spirit is the mark of the believer. It is historically and theologically significant that the Father and the Son fulfilled the promised of pouring out the Ho...
