A sermon by Fr. Michael Novotny. Texts: Revelation 7:9–17; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1:11–23; Luke 6:20–36
What are you waiting for? After assuring the Roman Christians that they are dead to sin and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, St. Paul addresses the problem of suffering. This week Dcn. Chase Edgar helps us understand that what we are waiting for cannot yet be seen, but our present sufferings hardly compare to the redemption of our bodies.
What hath Hamilton to do with St. Paul? How are we to understand the freedom Christians receive in Christ? We were once bound to serve the flesh but are now free to love God and others without compulsion. This week’s message by Fr. David Tew explores St. Paul’s discussion of what it means to be sons and daughters of Christ.
What is the Christian’s relationship to the law? This was a burning question for the Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome in Paul’s day. This week’s message aims to address this question, which is still relevant today. Join Dcn. Ben Williams in Romans 7:21-8:6 as we seek what it means to walk in the Spirit.
How did Christ change everything? How did a world infected with sin escape the doom of death? How did we die to sing? As we continue our series on St. Paul’s epistle to the Romans, Deacon Daniel Logan expounds on Roman 6:1-11 and helps us understand the answers to these questions in a sermon titled Call the Time of Death.
What did St. Paul mean when he said that we were enemies of God (Rom. 5:10)? What does Adam’s sin have to do with our relationship with God? This week’s message continues our series in the Book of Romans. Fr. Michael explains our sinful nature and corporate guilt before a holy God. It is only through the free gift of grace in Jesus Christ that we can be reconciled to our heavenly Father.
In the midst of disunity in the Roman church, St. Paul wrote an epistle to remind Jewish and Gentile Christians of their unity in Christ through faith in the gospel. This week’s message begins a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. Fr. Michael challenges us to consider the importance of this message today and warns us against “gospel fatigue.”
