Never Avenge. [Sermon]. Romans 12:14-21.
In this sermon from Romans 12:14-21, we look at a text in Paul's letter to Romans that looks very similar to the Beatitudes of Jesus Christ in Matthew 5. Here, we will see Paul's admonition to make sure that we live at peace with all, to the extent that we are able.

Here, he shows how we ought not to get discouraged, as Elijah once grew discouraged in the time of Ahab. Rather, the Lord is always preserving for Himself a remnant chosen by grace!

Pursue it by Faith. [Sermon]. Romans 9:30-33.

We can understand why one might pursue righteousness by works of the Law, but Paul teaches that grace is through faith alone in Christ alone. Thus we are encouraged to seek righteousness through faith in Jesus, and not to stumble over the Cornerstone Himself.

Here in Romans 9 - 11, Paul will undergo an extended discussion on why the Jews have not received the Messiah in large numbers. Ultimately, there is hope... a revival will come soon enough!

Patience in Suffering. [Sermon]. Romans 8:18-25.
In this sermon, Paul instructs the Roman Christians on how to endure suffering. There are suffering people everywhere. If our message is not good news to suffering people, it is no gospel at all. Christ came as a suffering servant to save the suffering from their misery. Christianity does not try to ignore or blame-shift suffering, but regards it head-on. The Apostle Paul teaches believers that our suffering in this present time is not worth comparing to the eternal glory to be revealed in God's saints.

Renwick was sent away to be educated and then came back to Scotland to lead the resistance party against prelacy (rule of the church by bishops) and Erastianism (rule of the church by Kings). Eventually, Renwick was killed by being hanged on the gallows at the Grassmarket in Edinborough.

Romans 3:27-31. [Sermon]. "Saving Faith."
In this sermon, we continue our expository series through the book of Romans. In this paragraph, the Apostle Paul makes a few clarifications in relation to the Gospel, specifically by commenting on the nature of faith. We take this opportunity to do a deep dive into the concept of true saving faith, and how it relates to a transformed life.

Romans 3:21-26. [Sermon]. "Propitiation"
In this sermon, we continue our series in Romans. Today, we enter what I believe is one of the most important passages in all of Romans, much less the whole Bible. Here Paul introduces concepts such as faith, grace, justification, and notably touches on the concept of "propitiation." Here we will see how Jesus's death on the cross propitiates the wrath of God.

Romans 3:1-8. [Sermon]. "The Oracles of God."
Today, we continue our expository sermon series through the book of Romans. Our text is Romans 3:1-8. Here, the Apostle Paul anticipates several objections that his readers may be inferring. Like a good rhetorician, Paul offers his "refutatio," that is, his answers to questions and objections that he believers his readers may be asking, particularly, about the advantages of being Jewish; of the problem of hypocrisy; and a slanderous charge of license to sin.

Romans 2:17-29. [Sermon]. A Matter of the Heart.
After a brief time off from Romans over the holidays, we now pick up our expository series again in Romans 2:17-29. In this text, Paul speaks to the Jewish Christians in Rome, reminding them of their many blessings, and also asking several diagnostic questions that will expose them to the charge of hypocrisy. The cure for this, of course, is the Gospel.

Romans 1:24-32. [Sermon]. Dishonorable Passions.
In this sermon, we work through Romans 1:24-32. Here we meet with the difficulty of homosexuality. Though controversial in some quarters, this text is actually very clear. Paul sees these sexual depravities as an outworking of the "debased mind" that is far from the Creator.

Romans 1:18-25. [Sermon]. Exchanging the Glory.
In this sermon, we begin the opening salvo of Paul's main argument in the letter to the Romans. He begins with the total depravity of the Gentiles (chapter one) before discussing the total depravity of the Jews (chapter two). His goal here is to obliterate all human pride so that no man can boast before the Lord and that all would recognize their need of the cross.

Were Many Saints Resurrected When Jesus Died? Matt. 27:52-53. [Sermon]
This is my Resurrection Day sermon from Matthew 27:52-53. Here we consider an unusual passage in Matthew's Gospel where the author seems to suggest that many saints rose from their graves at or shortly after Jesus died. How can this be? In this sermon we explore this most unusual text.
