Objection Overruled (2)

Romans 3:5-8 Objection Overruled (2) If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn to Romans, chapter 3 and verse 5 as we continue working through the book of Romans together. Let me remind you that in Romans, chapter 1 the first verse through the 17th verse, the apostle introduces us to the theme of his book. He focuses on the person, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Romans 1, verses 3 and 4, he gives us a synopsis of the theme of His argument in the book. In verses 16 and 17, and then immediately in Romans 1:18 to the end of that chapter, he begins to explain why the Gentiles need the gospel. The gospel is not just something that’s for the Old Covenant people of God, it’s not just something for people are the natural descendants of Abraham. It’s not just for the Jewish people,…

The Kingdom Principle: The Least is the Greatest, Part…

If you have your bible, I would invite You to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 18. We have been looking at this great passage for about a month or so. It's hard to believe that it all began with the question, “Who is the greatest?” Ever since the disciples asked that question, they have been treated to discussions of how to relate to their brothers, how to relate to the sheep, how to be servants, how not to be stumbling blocks. Somewhere in the midst of that they have received an important message from the Lord Jesus Christ about what greatness meant in His kingdom. Greatness means relating to our brothers humbly, caring about them spiritually, seeing them as wandering sheep, taking care of the brethren even when they offend us. That's greatness in the Lord Jesus'…

The Kingdom Principle: The Least is the Greatest, Part…

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 18, as we continue our study of this great passage together. I’d invite you to look back to the very first of the chapter and scan along the passage itself leading up to Matthew 18, verses 15 through 20. You know that the whole of this passage is concerned with how we live as a family, as part of God’s church; with how we relate together as children of the living God in His earthly institution, the kingdom of God as it is manifest on earth in the institutional form of the church. Jesus is telling us how we ought to get along with one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. It helps us to remember that Matthew is writing to a body of Christians who are undergoing severe persecution. And even…

True Religion, Part 3: Prayer and Forgiveness

Turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 6 as we continue our study in the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount. The last time we were together in this passage, we were looking at our Lord’s teaching, contrasting what He expected His disciples to do in prayer with that which the Pharisees were practicing. This week, we will begin to look at the prayer itself, the prayer in which the Lord instructed His disciples, and more importantly the principles on which this prayer was based. And I…

God’s Law vs. Human Tradition: Part 6

Please turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 5 verse 43 as we continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount. We’ve said that throughout chapter 5 from verse 17 all the way down to the end of the chapter in verse 48, the Lord Jesus Christ is setting forth the righteousness of His kingdom, that is, He’s setting forth the kind of life that His disciples are going to live. He's setting forth the standard of the kingdom. Standards which cannot be produced by our own efforts unaided…

God’s Law vs. Human Tradition: Part 5

Please turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 5. We have been studying the Sermon on the Mount for the past few weeks, and specifically, since we began our study of Matthew 5 verses 21 and following, we have seen Christ applying the principles of the righteousness of His kingdom, calling His people to true godliness and trying to raise the awareness of those caught up in the web of self righteousness of just how extensive the command of the law is. And in the process, we have seen the…
