Sunday Sermon: Peace with God (Romans 5:1-11)

This Lord’s Day we consider the opening verses of Romans 5. Here, Paul tells us the result of our justification by grace through faith: peace with God. And we will see that peace with God produces character and produces assurance.

Sunday Sermon: It Depends on Faith (Romans 4)

This Lord’s Day we resume our series in the Book of Romans. We will be giving our attention to the entirety of Chapter 4. We remember that one of the chief issues that motivated Paul to write was division within the Church of Rome. A two-tiered system had come into existence. This week, we learn that the so-called “top tier” Christians were advocating for the necessity of circumcision to be saved. A form of this has existed within the church ever since: those who want to add works to the gracious gospel of faith. This week we will be challenged to examine what we might add to the gospel. We will then rejoice as we remember that “it depends on faith” (Romans 4:16).

Sunday Sermon: Palm Sunday - Receiving the King - (Matthew 21:1-11)

This Lord’s Day, we pause in our series on Romans to consider the scene of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem - the day remembered by the church as Palm Sunday. As we look at this passage together, we will see the importance of receiving Christ with rejoicing in our hearts.

Sunday Sermon: Faith Alone (Romans 3:21-31)

Last Lord’s Day, Paul told us where righteousness was not to be found: within our obedience to the law (Rom. 3:20). Now, he tells us where righteousness is to be found: faith in the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ on our behalf (Rom 3:22). As we were reminded that we can find our hope in only Jesus - now we are reminded that we only receive Jesus through faith alone.

Sunday Sermon: Only Jesus (Romans 3:1-20)

This Lord’s Day as we continue in the Book of Romans, we arrive at chapter 3:1-20. In this passage, Paul continues to confront us as we live within the church. In Rome, a two-tiered system had developed within the church. There were those who considered themselves superior to other Christians because they had received the ordinance of circumcision. This week we will see that when we place our trust in anything outside of Christ, we are ultimately disappointed. Our hearts are satisfied by only Jesus.

Sunday Sermon: Religion of the Heart (Romans 2)

This Lord’s Day, we give our attention to Romans 2. This passage challenges us. Last week, Paul put before our eyes all of the ways in which our denial of general revelation leads us into idolatry. We saw how the punishment for sin is more sin as God hands people over to darkened ways of thinking.
Paul knew that as we read Romans 1, we might be tempted to condemn others while we congratulate ourselves. To prevent this, Paul provides us with Romans 2. This passage reminds us that sin is to be found within our own hearts, in our own actions. We will also see this week how holiness is impossible without humility.

Sunday Sermon: Humanity's Problem (Romans 1:18-32)

This Lord’s Day, we give our attention to Romans 1:18-32. In this passage, Paul describes the wrath of God as it is revealed from heaven. He also reveals why God’s wrath is being revealed: after being given sufficient evidence of God’s existence in the natural world (verse 19-20), the human race has still chosen to worship the creation, rather than the Creator. And as we will see, the consequence for such idolatry is more idolatry. In this vicious cycle, only God Himself could be our Savior. And thanks be to God, He has saved us in Christ!

Sunday Sermon: How Shall We Live? (Romans 1:8-17)

What do you think of when you consider the phrase “The power of God”? The Egyptian plagues? The splitting of the Red Sea? Maybe the great flood, the times fire fell from heaven, or the many miracles of the Bible? If you were to ask Paul what was the single greatest display of the power of God in history? He would have a quick answer for you: the gospel. This Lord’s Day we will seek to understand how God’s power is manifest in this gospel.

Sunday Sermon: A Doxology (Romans 1:1-7)

This Lord’s Day, we begin a new series on the Book of Romans. In his preface to the Book of Romans, Martin Luther wrote, “The Letter of Romans is the truth of the chief part of the New Testament, and the purest gospel. It would be quite proper for a Christian, not only to know it by heart word for word, but also to study it daily, for it is the soul’s daily bread. It can never be read or meditated upon too much or too well. The more thoroughly it is treated, the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.”
Let us be in prayer that our meditation upon Romans will yield the precious fruit of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
