Pastor Matt's Podcasts

In this section of scripture, Paul introduces the action of love without hypocrisy.  Without God's law defining law and its application, love has no meaning.

After solidifying the body of Christ, as both Jew and Greek, Paul then turns his attention to the functions of the members of the body.  Far from being a program or a corporation, the body of Christ is to function as a body, edifying and encouraging itself, through the gifts of the Spirit.

After incorporating the Gentiles into the covenant, Paul then solidified the body of Christ as one.  It is one body, with many members, each gifted to different functions within the body of Christ.

There is much talk about the church vs. Israel today.  Romans 11 gives us a great, simple understanding of the relationship between these two.  Enjoy!

In this episode, we examine what will become of the Jews, from the time of Paul to the day Jesus returns.  It is important to understand the docrine of the End Times and which would cooperate best with what scripture presents.  Enjoy!

Paul continued to evangelize the Jews, writing to them and about them specifically as he explained the gospel message.  He would refer to the Old Testament in order to explain its prophetic application in the New.  As he evangelized the Jews with the OT scripture, he also evangelized the Gentiles with the same.  Both Jew and Gentile are now one in the church.  There is no separtation of Jew and Gentile.

In this episode, we see that Paul expresses his desire to see all of his Israel brethren saved. By quoting the Old Testament, Paul brings the references of Jesus to bear in the New Testament.

In this sermon we examine the difference between the Gentiles gaining righteousness by faith as apposed to the Jews attempting to gain their own righteousness through works.  This is alive and well today.  If you listen to progressive Christians, you will hear all the things, defined by the world, that the Christian must do in order to be called a Christian.

In this study, we read that God made some men vessels of wrath and others vessels of mercy.  These vessels were created by God out of the same lump of clay, so the question is, "How can God find fault in man if He created them as either vessels for destruction or vessels of honor?  Paul answers this question and more in this part of his letter to the Romans.

In this episode we examine the conceptions and misconceptions when it come to the doctrine of election and why this should compell us to evangelize all the more.  Is God fair or is He just?  Scripture answers these questions in no uncertain terms.
