New Audio: Marks of a Transformed Life – Romans 12:1-13

This week at (sola)s we unpacked Romans 12:1-13. Last week we examined the first two verses of chapter 12, exploring the idea of what it means to be a “living sacrifice”. This week we continued in this vein, asking the question, “What does a living sacrifice look like?” What are the marks of a life that has been transformed? From verses 3-13 we saw 7 marks of a transformed life: 1) humility, 2) unity, 3) purpose, 4) love, 5) fervency, 6) endurance, and 7) generosity. We finished by seeing that these fruits grow from renewing our minds daily in the gospel. Jesus was the one who enabled us to bear these fruits, and he set a perfect example of every one of these marks. We will be humble, united, purposeful, loving, fervent, enduring, and generous as we look to Jesus and the gospel.

New sermon audio – Romans 9 “Heavy Questions, Humbling Answers”

In Romans 9, Paul seeks to answer questions that naturally arise after spending 8 chapters declaring that salvation is obtained by faith apart from works of the law for all who will believe – including Gentiles. The natural questions that follow are: What about God’s covenant with the Jews? What about all of the promises of the Old Covenant? How is it that Jews can miss out on salvation and Gentiles be included? The way Paul answers these questions is humbling, not only for Jews, but for all of us. His answers reveal that God is perfectly and absolutely sovereign and just over all things – including his promises, his plans, his mercy, and his judgment.

New Sermon Audio – Romans 2:1-3:8 “The Danger of Growing Up in Church”

In Romans 2, Paul moves from addressing the universal condition of humanity to confronting the Jewish and religious readers of his letter with a sober warning that they are included in the fallenness of mankind. The second chapter of Romans reveals the serious danger of growing up in church and being religious. In this message we see three such dangers:

1) a tendency toward judgmental hypocrisy,

2) living in unrepentant presumption, and

3) having an arrogant self-assessment.

We finished by seeing the blessing of growing up in church, namely, that those who grow up in church have been granted access to the truth (the law), which points us to our need for a Savior.
