1. The just shall live by faith is the gospel cry and refrain.-2. Anyone who does not know what this means does not know the gospel and cannot find peace.-3. The teaching of, -the just shall live by faith- is not a new doctrine that was introduced in the New Testament.-4. It is an Old Testament teaching and also has a very interesting context in the book of Habakkuk.-5. And in the book of Habakkuk there are all kinds of shenanigans and violence happening in Judah which began a burden that the Prophet sought audience with God.-6. But to his utter surprise, God even bigger burdens, that He was raising a ruthless nation to come and punish His people.-7. And in this conversation God introduced us to the doctrine of the Just shall live by faith. And this is the only way to live in respect of salvation from God's judgment.-8. A sinner cannot live or pass from death unto life by law keeping, but through faith in the Christ who was made for them wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.

Title- 1. God's righteousness revealed, 2. The Just shall live by faith-Text- Romans 1 vs 8-15-1. There are just too many gospel nuggets to glean even in the opening words of Romans 1.-2. So, we decided to revisit them, expand and glean more understanding. -3. As always there are a lot of themes running in the text.-4. But fundamentally, our message is the God's righteousness revealed, which is the heart of the gospel.-5. And related and inseparable from it is the gospel declaration that the Just shall live by faith.-6. We explained what all these things mean, but not exhaustively, because we are just at the beginning of the subject.-7. If God's righteousness is not understood and believed upon, then there is no gospel to talk about. -8. Those who condition salvation on the doing of a sinner ARE IGNORANT OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.

1. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a new story.--2. It is the oldest story God has ever told.--3. It is the story foretold in all of scriptures.--4. And that means it is a specific message.--5. A message about God centered around the Son.--6. The Son as He appeared to accomplish salvation.--7. Salvation for all the elect.

Title- 1. BSGCROM- 1- Introduction to Romans, 2. God's gospel--1. Many considerations to take into account to understand the book of Romans -audience and composition, nature and genre, theme and possible local issues-.-2. But fundamentally this is a book about God as is all of the bible.-3. And God's book is about the revelation of Christ Jesus as He accomplished righteousness for His people.-4. And Romans seeks to establish how a sinner is made righteous before God, which many people are still ignorant of--5. And a sinner is made righteous by the RIGHTEOUS OF GOD revealed, accomplished by Christ and freely imputed.-6. And that to say the Gospel is the major theme of Romans and yet to understand the gospel many pressing questions have to asked and answered with respect to Law and Gospel, the matter of the relationship between Jew and Gentile in the light of the advent of Christ.-7. And in elaborating the gospel all these subordinate questions are answered as the answer is found in Christ Jesus who is the end of the Law to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.

Sermon Title -s-- 1. The finger of God, 2. No one remained-Text- Exodus 8-1. We are back to the story of Israel in Egypt, the testimony of Christ.-2. Moses and Aaron are back to speak to Pharaoh again by way of Miracles.-3. And through the Miracles God was coming and introducing Himself. -4. And for God to be known in that particular context He said, He would harden Pharaoh's heart so that he would NOT set the people free.-5. God does harden or softens the hearts of people as He pleases. Some are hardened to condemnation and yet others by His election are softened to the justification in Christ. -6. So, Plague after plague, in spite of the halfhearted pleas by Pharaoh, he still did not let the people go.-7. He could not let the people free because it was not how people who are in bondage are set free.-8. And this what God was driving the whole matter to. That He alone through His appointed means would set the people free. -9. So, the magicians did try their magic tricks, but quickly they came to their wits' ends. And we explored much gospel testimony in this story and it is free.

1. Israel is in Egypt for a gospel testimony.-2. God has purposefully brought His people under bondage through Pharaoh that He may teach the matters of salvation.-3. Salvation is a setting free of God's people from the slavery and burdens of sin as was was pictured by the slavery of Israel.-4. And the matter of sin and Law and its relationship is played out in this Egyptian drama of Christ. Sin and Law always work together to produce slavery and death as the outcome, from which God's people have to be set free by God through His appointed MEDIATOR.-5. But in building this testimony-God unashamedly said-He was going to HARDEN Pharaoh's heart so that Pharaoh would not do the very thing that God commanded him to do and yet held him responsible-accountable. -6. And God had a reason for that-so that in hardening Pharaoh, God would show His power. So, God actively hardens Pharaoh and anyone for that matter for the purpose of His glory.-7. Hardening of someone's heart causes UNBELIEF and DISOBEDIENCE. And it is SIN . But God claims that He hardened Pharaoh's heart and yet He can't be charged with sin, because He is God and you and I are NOT. -8. Many people rush to try and protect God, but God does not need protection from anyone, whom He wills HE HARDENS. And this hardening we see in the gospel matter. God is He who hardens people to not believe or softens their hearts to turn and be saved.-9. The POINT IS THAT GOD IS ABSOLUTELY SOVEREIGN OVER HIS Creation and He cannot be charged with DOING ANY WRONG over the disposal of that which belongs to Him. -10.. The Matter of God's sovereignty in all things reveals PEOPLE'

Message Title- Moses is dead--1. Moses -the Law- is dead..--2. Dead by way of fulfilment and setting aside by Christ.--3. The accusation of anti-Law -anti-nomian- is pejorative and contrary to the gospel testimony. It is a charge that stems from ignorance and unbelief of the gospel. --4. Moses can not stand if the Christ has arrived..--5. The true believer does not weep for Moses, they rejoice in his retirement and glory in Christ..--6. God killed and buried Moses, that and more.. A wonderful gospel message this... and guess what---7. It is free.....

Gospel Instalment- 01-23-2022--Sermon Title- 1. Go call your husband, 2. I do not have a husband, 3. A date with Jesus-Text- John 4- 1-28--1. The story of the Samaritan woman is not a story about how women should be treated.-2. That is now what Jesus was teaching. It is a gospel encounter between the Savior and His elect sinner.-3. Jesus had a Divine Appointment with this woman at Jacob's well to set the stage for the conversation that Jesus was to bring to the Samaritan woman.-4. There is no person who just ups and comes to have a conversation with Jesus, especially if they are to be saved if God has not scheduled their meeting with Jesus.-5. God does not do things randomly, but orchestrates every move and detail.--6. Jesus spoke of the water that He gives, that is different from regular water. His water is a living water -the Holy Spirit- that wells up to eternal life.-7. It is water that gives satisfaction and rest is implied because even the Samaritan woman reasoning in the flesh realized that if this were true, she would stop coming to the well..-8.. But Jesus was of course talking about salvation, not physical labor..-9.. Many gospel nuggets to glean, but you have to listen to the end..

Sermon Title- 1. I am the Lord, 2. Then you shall know-Text- Exodus 6 vs 1-13-1. We continued with our gospel teaching from the book of Exodus building, explaining and demonstrating that the Old Testament scriptures do indeed testify of Christ.-2. And where we find Christ, we also the testimony of salvation of God's people who are in bondage.-3. And the whole matter of Israel's experience in Egypt was a testimony of God about sin and Law as they produce slavery and death and God's way of deliverance.-4. Thus, the oppression of the children of Israel did not happen by accident, but was God preaching.-5. Preaching that in the matter of salvation sin and Law bring hopelessness to God's people.-6. Sin and Law NEVER PRODUCED LIFE, but DEATH.-7. And God came continued to expand on His name of I AM THE LORD. And this name He was to be known because He had made a Covenant of salvation, to redeem His people from the burdens of their sin that was pictured in oppression of slavery in Egypt.-8. That and more and it is free-

Message- -Proverbs 31 Woman Pt 2--Text- Proverbs 31 vs 10-31--1. We continued with the testimony of the Proverbs 31 woman to identify her and speak to her character and works.-2. The proverbs 31 woman is Christ Jesus. If we take this text as is, it would be welcomed in every self-help group, every synagogue, Buddhist Temple, even the Church of Scientology.-3. But when we rightly use this scripture to speak to the person and work of Christ then the OFFENSE of the gospel kicks in and that is what we did.-4. The bible ought to be read and understood through the lenses of Christ and the gospel, otherwise texts like this and others lend themselves to a lot of moralistic teaching.-5. The proverbs 31 woman has an obsession with weaving clothes and that is Christ Jesus weaving righteousness for His household, the church. -6. Christ alone fits the description of the woman. -7. The gospel nuggets are plenty and this is a must hear message-IT IS FREE-
