As I begin I’d like to mention one thing first. I want to say thank you. Thank you for being a church willing to take God’s Word as just that, God’s Word. These past months we’ve been slowly walking through Romans 9-11, and it’s true that this is not an easy section of Romans to…… Continue reading Romans 11:25-32 – The Future of Israel (Pt. 3)

Last week we began Romans 11. And as we began I mentioned that of all the chapters in Romans, chapter 11 is by far the most difficult and perhaps even more controversial than chapter 9. This is the case because when we enter into chapter 11 we enter into the realm of eschatology, the study…… Continue reading Romans 11:11-24 – The Future of Israel (Pt. 2)

In the study of systematic theology there are seven great doctrines or divisions to work through. It begins with the doctrine of God, where God’s existence, nature, being, and attributes are studied. Next is the doctrine of man, where we learn about ourselves; what we were made to be, what we were made to do,…… Continue reading Romans 11:1-10 – The Future of Israel (Pt. 1)

Long ago, God spoke to Israel through the prophet Isaiah spoke when Israel was in trouble.[1] They were in trouble because the Egyptians and the Assyrians were oppressing them, this was the trouble outside and around them. But they were also in trouble because of what was going on within them. Idolatry was rampant among them.…… Continue reading Romans 10:14-21 – Beauty & Blindness

It’s good to pause every now and then and explain why we do what we do in this thing we call the ‘sermon’ each week. During the preaching portion of our Sunday morning gathering we employ and enjoy a style of preaching called expositional preaching. Which means that the preacher doesn’t aim at saying anything new…… Continue reading Romans 10:5-13 – Gospel Threads

A few days ago I went to Publix on my way home from church to grab a few things. I’m not usually the one to do our grocery shopping and so I’m very unfamiliar with the layout of Publix and what is on what aisle. I am aware there are signs above each aisle to…… Continue reading Romans 10:1-4 – Christ, the End of the Law

*Below is Andrew's outline from Sunday's sermon, not a word for word manuscript. This is meant as aid in seeing the thought and direction of the sermon. D. A. Carson Sermon Library Chosen by God (Romans 8:28–30; 9:1–29)  Romans 9:1–29 is part of a sustained argument in Romans 9, 10, and 11 dealing with the…… Continue reading Romans 9:25-33 – Vessels of Mercy

In these past weeks I’ve labored, as I’m able, to lead you through Romans 9. To do this I’ve enlisted help. We’ve already heard Martin Luther’s advice on Romans 9, that it’s strong wine and we should be aware of that. And we’ve already heard John Calvin’s advice on Romans 9, that we should embrace…… Continue reading Romans 9:19-24 – Celebrating Sovereignty

In our first week in Romans 9 I began with many cautions to be aware of. In our second week in Romans 9 I began with a quote from Martin Luther, that this chapter is strong wine and to be ready for that when we study it. Today, our third week in Romans 9, I’d…… Continue reading Romans 9:14-18 – A Defense of God

Church we find ourselves once again in Romans 9 this morning. We began it last week seeing the door through which we enter into these things is a broken and burdened heart for those who reject the gospel. In that humility we must proceed. Martin Luther once said the same thing as he gave counsel…… Continue reading Romans 9:6-13 – God’s Free Sovereign Pleasure
