This sermon explores the theological foundations of religious liberty by examining God's design for human social institutions. The speaker identifies the family, the church, and civil government as the three primary institutions established by Scripture, each with distinct compositions and purposes derived from passages like Genesis 2, Matthew 16, and Romans 13. Emphasizing that true wisdom requires asking 'why' and 'how do you know,' the message argues that a robust understanding of biblical authority is essential for stewarding freedom of worship. The preacher urges believers to ground their convictions in Scripture rather than conjecture, ensuring that their advocacy for liberty reflects God's intent for human flourishing and order. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a faithful, informed approach to living within these divinely ordained structures.

Often evil is categorized into two categories; moral evil and natural evil. Our world is filled with both of these evils. No matter how we feel about what is happening there is truth, God is truth.

A.W. Tozer argues that Christians can experience a greater filling of the Holy Spirit—but only if certain conditions are met. Is that what Scripture actually teaches, and what happens when the absence of spiritual power is blamed on the believer?

Teaching on Romans 1:18-23

This sermon explores the theological order of salvation, emphasizing that God's sovereign grace and predestination established the plan for redemption before the foundation of the world. It examines Paul's ministry in Romans 1, highlighting his constant prayer life and deep desire to visit the Roman church as evidence of mutual edification through Christian fellowship. The text underscores the absolute security of believers, anchored in Christ's finished work and God's unchanging purpose rather than human effort. By analyzing passages like Ephesians and Hebrews, the message affirms that salvation is entirely God's initiative, ensuring peace and confidence for the elect. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to rest in divine providence, recognizing that all events, including Paul's imprisonment, serve to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.

God gave man the ability to think and to reason. God did not design man to imagine a world without Him. The fall of man corrupted his mind and heart. Many people imagine a god who is no bigger than their imagination. Because he is an imaginary god, he cannot help them. However, many people are so desperate they imagine they are being helped by their imaginary God.
