It would certainly not take much effort to convince most people that we live in very trying times. Today's passage in Romans 13 admonishes us with the fact that our time is short, and that the hour has come for us to awaken from spiritual sleep and walk in the light of Christ's righteousness given to us. It also provides us with practical fruits that we who walk in Christ's light should bear.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

Today we cross over into Romans 13, a very culturally relevant passage of scripture especially in recent days. Verses 1-7 reveal to us not only that we as Christians should be good citizens, but also that governments are held to a standard of rule and function that is set by God's law, not the whims of the rulers themselves. How we obey our governments while rejecting both pietism and state created worship is ultimately a matter of knowing and holding fast to God's Word, and calling our leaders to repentance and faith in Christ, the fulfillment of the law.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

One of the greatest struggles for the believer is the battle to overcome sin and walk in holiness. Today's sermon in Romans 12 teaches us not only the imperatives of overcoming sin, but also how to begin and ground our fight in the indicatives of the gospel, which is that Christ has already won for us by taking our place on the cross and exchanging our sin for His righteousness. It is the joy of the promises of God that allows us to meet the challenges of evil with the triumph of good.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

Today we continue where we left off last week in Romans chapter 12, looking at the basic shape our Christian lives should take in light of the glorious news of Christ who gave up His life as a ransom to redeem sinners from eternal condemnation. We explore what it means to not only hate what is evil, but to also hold fast to what is good, and what that can look like practically in our daily living.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

In this series entitled Wednesday Worship, we embark on an overview study of the main categories of Systematic Theology, and how we should understand them as we continue to grow in the knowledge and love of God's Word. Today's topic is Hamartiology, or the study of sin. In this lesson we will consider the Bible's teaching regarding the fall, total depravity and inability of man, as well as some of the errant teachings that come as a result of the denial of these doctrines.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

This week, as we continue in our Romans series, we are confronted with the fact that we often see love and hatred as mutually exclusive. However, chapter 12 verse 9 teaches us that not only is it godly to hold both where pursuing good and resisting evil is concerned, but that a hatred of evil actually explains and modifies what it means to truly love.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

God graciously gives many gifts to His children for the building up of His church. Today we continue in Romans 12 with verse 8, exploring the gifts of exhortation, generosity, leadership and mercy. We will also contemplate how all Christians can practice these things even without especial gifting in these areas- as good works of obedience brought on by the saving power and light of the gospel of Christ.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---

This week we continue into Romans 12-7, a short but powerful continuation of Paul's discourse focusing on serving and teaching. We are encouraged to think of these gifts as joys done in the mercy and power of Christ, in order to build up the body of Christ, his people.--Come visit us on our various social platforms---Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-pbc.nyc-----Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pbc.nyc-----Youtube- https---www.youtube.com-pbcnyc---
