Resurrection Sunday! - Audio

A great chronological teaching about all the "twists and turns" of the Bible, beginning in Genesis, that lead to the Resurrection of Jesus, who is our hope.

It's Grace and not Race - Audio

Paul explains that even though Israel was the people of promise that not all Israel has been chosen and those Gentiles who have been born again are actually spiritually Israel. God is sovereign and can do what He wills, and has chosen people apart from human expectations. Election is based on grace and not race.

The Christian's Declaration of Freedom - Audio

Earlier in Romans 8 Paul declares four spiritual freedoms we enjoy because of Christ: freedom from judgment; from defeat; from discouragement; and from fear. We can have a fear of losing God’s love but we are secure in the love of Christ. Paul gives us five immutable facts: God is for us; Christ died for us; God has justified us; Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for us; Jesus loves us. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. There is no condemnation, obligation, frustration or separa...

The golden chain of salvation - Audio

Romans 8, verses 28-30, deals with a topic that has been divisive for centuries: are we predestined to be believers in Christ or does it depend on us? On the one hand, Calvinism says it’s all up to God. We are predestined to believe and when called we do. Arminianism says it’s up to the individual to make their own decision about salvation. Of course, the controversy is way deeper than this but these two viewpoints encompass two pillars of the faith: God’s sovereign calling vs. man’s responsibil...

All things work together - Romans 8:28 - Audio

This is one of the most-beloved verses in the Bible. However, it’s not a universal truth for all mankind but only for those who love God. The Father and the Spirit will work all things – the good as well as the bad – together for our good but this might be our character, perseverance, hope, genuineness of faith, etc. and might have nothing to do with circumstances but glorifies God. We need to learn to relax and stop being anxious and to love God for Who He is, not for what He gives.

The language of lament - Audio

Jeff Patterson, pastor of Renew Church in Oregon City, and the guest speaker at the Men's Muster, teaches today on Psalm 44. We often question our own experiences vs. the reality of God. God is faithful but we often don't recognize His faithfulness. If we’re honest, we ask God “why?” We can become disappointed, feel forsaken, and have difficulty trusting God. It’s the language of lament; a prayer spoken in pain that leads us to trust. We need to understand that this does not separate us from the...

Putting suffering in its place - Audio

We are adopted and heirs of Christ, and as such we get to share in His suffering as well as His glory. All of us, including all of creation, wait, and groan for His appearing. But we wait patiently with expectation, and the Sprit helps us.

Mortify the Deeds of the Flesh - Audio

We have been bought with a price and owe nothing to the world, so why would we serve the flesh? If we live by the flesh we will die; if we die to the flesh we will live. We need to put the old (fleshly) man to death and mortify, or kill, the fleshly deeds. Mortification is not 1) perfection; 2) deceiving others about your sin; 3) improvement toward a quiet, sedated nature; 4) simply diverting a sin; or 5) occasional conquests over sin. It is a constant duty of believers, and sin must be killed, ...

The mind matters - contrasts between the flesh and the Spirit - Audio

One can either live according to the flesh or set their mind on things of the Spirit. A fleshly mind results in death; a spiritual mind results in life. If you have been born again and have the Holy Spirit inside you, your mind should be set on the things of God.

Advent - waiting with expectation - Audio

Advent is a season of hope, but it’s a different hope than the hope the world has. The world’s hope is nothing more than wishful thinking. Biblical hope is the trust and confidence that we have in God, knowing He’s forever true and will keep His promises. It is this latter hope that kept the Israelites going, and God provided for them as they had need. In our case, we need to have the hope and expectation that Jesus will return. This is our hope for the future, that He will return and has prepar...

No condemnation - Audio

No matter what we have done, and no matter what we might do in the future, there is no condemnation if we are in Christ Jesus and walk in the Spirit.

Paul - a divided man - Audio

Because we have a sin nature, even though we have Christ in our lives - and the Holy Spirit - we still do wrong. Paul said he doesn't do what he should and does what he shouldn't. If Paul had this internal struggle, we shouldn't feel bad if we do as well, because we will, and do. However, as we grow in Christ, our struggles will lessen and more and more we'll make right choices. In the end, God delivers us from this predicament.

'Til death do us part - Audio

There are three types of "believers": Those who keep the law and become legalistic Christians (are married to the Law); those who totally reject the law because they're covered by grace and live as they want; and those who recognize they're saved by grace, are in love with Jesus, and keep the law (Christian living) out of their "marriage" to the Lord. Under the old law, one was "wedded" to it and could only be released by death. Through Christ, he died that we might be free and wedded to Him.

From slaves of sin to slaves of God - Audio

Before we were slaves of sin, and behaved accordingly. Now, redeemed by Christ, we are slaves to righteousness, and therefore must behave accordingly, but we behave out of love of Jesus, not according to the law.

Certainly not! - Audio

Because God's grace so abounds, does that mean we should sin so His grace increases? Certainly not!

The blessings of justification - Audio

Justification places us in a status as having never sinned, and there are six blessings that come from this: 1) We have peace with God. We’re no longer at war with Him;. 2) We stand in grace. It’s like having a backstage pass to be in the presence of the Lord; 3) We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God – a hope-filled certainty; 4) We have glory in suffering – we’ll never go through it alone and it will always work something out in us; 5) We are saved from wrath; and 6) We can rejoice and boa...

Dead man walking - Audio

In his old age, and as good as dead, God promised Abraham that he would have a son and would be the father of many nations. Abraham believed God and it was "accounted to him as righteousness." So to are we accounted as righteousness if we believe in God who raised Jesus from the dead.

The most important message - Audio

It doesn’t matter if you’re “pagan” or “righteous” (appearing), we’re all guilty and salvation for all is only by grace through faith. There are two sides: the law, which says “you must,” “you will;” and the promise, which says “I (God) will,” “have faith”, “believe.” The law promotes sin because If you know it’s wrong you want to do it all the more. It’s critical to understand that faith is not a meritorious work; it’s just allowing yourself to be rescued. Grace gives and faith takes.

Biblical Christianity - Audio

Biblical Christianity is the only world religion that bases salvation on the performance of another, Jesus, while all the rest stand on personal works. Paul proves to the Jews that no one will be able to stand before a righteous God on the basis of their works. The Jews thought they were superior because they knew the law, but they were full of hypocrisy and thought more of what man thought of them than God. Paul challenged them about circumcision which was more of an outward show than a true ch...
