The Testimaony Of Abraham - Part 1 of 2

The self-righteous bunch were always crowing about Father Abraham. "OK," Paul says, "let's talk about Abraham!" In the book of Romans God gives us an explanation of how His plan works, and why. His solution to our sin problem sounds new. It strikes some people as conflicting with the Law, and nullifying promises to Abraham. Paul takes those objections head-on. He shows that Abraham is the poster-boy not for works, but for faith.

God's Righteousess Demonstrated and Declared - Part 2 of 2

What's your retirement plan? I mean, for after this life? A lot of people think they're on one of those "matching contribution" plans: they do a little, God pitches in a little, and when their work on earth is finished they'll be able to take it easy for eternity. But in heaven's accounting system, all our good deeds add up to zero. Your nest egg is a goose egg! Here's Jim in Romans 3.

God's Righteousess Demonstrated and Declared - Part 1 of 2

What's the keystone of the Bible? The keystone of an arch is that central wedge that holds everything together. Both sides push toward it. In God's plan, that essential piece is the Cross, and what happened there. What happened there was propitiation - a sacrifice that turns away wrath. Before Christ, believers were forgiven "on credit," looking forward. Afterward, we look back at that same keystone. Here's Jim to advance our discussion in the book of Romans.

Verdict: ALL Mankind Guilty Before The Creator - Part 3 of 3

If you're looking for the road to heaven, the Law is a dead-end street. "You can't get there from here," as someone joked. We learn in the New Testament that God's commandments were never meant to bring men and women to glory; they were meant to drive us to our knees, and ultimately to conduct us to Christ. The Law reminds us every day that our good works will never be good enough. But there is another Way. Here's Pastor Jim with the conclusion to his sermon, Verdict: All Mankind Guilty Before the Creator.

Verdict: ALL Mankind Guilty Before The Creator - Part 2 of 3

God has given all of us a Performance Review - and it's not pretty. In Romans 3 we see a doctrine that separates Christianity from all the other supposed answers for mankind. Oh, you'll find plenty of people who'll tell you that you're a good person - you just need a little work. But in this passage we get a devastating appraisal from our Maker. Consider just the kinds of wickedness that come through our words. These sins are poetically ascribed to the tongue, the throat, the mouth. Here's Jim in Romans 3:13.

Verdict: ALL Mankind Guilty Before The Creator - Part 1 of 3

We like to imagine that God's "cutoff line" is somewhere below us, but above that other guy. It sounds pretty silly when you say it out loud - that God will "grade on the curve." "If He didn't," we think, "His kingdom would be empty." Wrong, and wrong. In order to appreciate the Good News we must feel the full impact of the bad news: We have zero chance of getting into heaven on our own merits. Here's Jim to continue our series through Paul's letter to the Romans.

God's Patients and Kindness In Judgement - Part 3 of 3

How many righteous people lived in Sodom? The correct answer is, "Not enough!" We've been looking closely at God's judgment, and finding that it's wrapped in mercy and patience. To pick the prime example: The depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah was intolerable... but the punishment of holy people along with the hell-bound was unthinkable. In Genesis 18, Abraham negotiates a reprieve for the sake of a hypothetical remnant of 10 - but there were not 10 saints in Sodom.

God's Patients and Kindness In Judgement - Part 2 of 3

One of the most terrifying occasions of God's judgment was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. But even then, there was mercy. We're going through Paul's list of humanity's crimes against God in the early chapters of Romans. And when we read with an open mind, our Creator will come across as both holy, and compassionate. Jim will take us on another day-trip to the book of Genesis, to see the ultimate example of that. Abraham appealed to the justice of God, and got His goodness in the bargain.

God's Patients and Kindness In Judgement - Part 1 of 3

Adam and Eve got their knowledge of God firsthand - from walking and talking with Him. How do all their children know about Him? That's an important question because, in Romans 1, Paul accuses mankind of knowing the truth about God, but deliberately tamping down that truth. It's part of his indictment that will condemn the whole human race. Pastor Jim will show that everyone knows about God because we still bear His image in ourselves, marred as it is; and because of "the law written on our hearts."

Saved From What? - Part 3 of 3

Our sin doesn't just break God's laws; it breaks us. In order to understand why God is so concerned with the thoughts, words and deeds of "little old me," we have to go back to a time before sin stained the picture. We'll see humans without shame. We can compare that with our own, fallen state. And we'll be saddened by the change to God's image-bearers. Yesterday Jim said there were two rules for Adam and Eve. The first was not to eat of the fruit of a certain tree....
