Sermons on Romans (Page 2)
Economics – Poverty (Part 4)
What is the church’s obligation to the poor? For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.Romans…
The Family – Marriage (Part 5)
As we continue to talk about marriage and family, we will now deal with how long the marriage covenant lasts. What about divorce? The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a…
The Gospel – Grace
If men are sinners and laws cannot change us, where is the hope for mankind? But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption…
The Gospel – Law
As we continue to look at the Gospel, we now turn to the purpose of the Law. As inherently sinful people how can we ever overcome our personal sin, and how can we overcome the problems of human society? The next component in the Gospel is the Law. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the…
The Gospel – Man’s Depravity
The central teaching of Christianity is the Gospel. This theological statement has tremendous bearing on everything else we do. Is man basically good or basically evil? How you answer that question will influence your view of raising children, authority, government, etc. Is God’s favor given by grace or merit? How you answer that question will affect your marriage, when someone cuts you off in traffic, etc. Before we can look at anything, we must look at the Gospel. What then?…
The Holy Spirit
After Jesus’ resurrection He commands His followers to wait for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is an essential part of the New Covenant. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.…
The Old Covenant of Law (Part 2)
We saw that the Law was used to bring conviction of sin, but that the Law lacked power to make us right with God. The Law was given to teach us that we need a Savior. Now that we are saved, what is the purpose of the Law? Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.…
The Old Covenant of Law (Part 1)
Sermon previously titled: Law Is Not Our Saviour Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married…
