After using Hosea and Isaiah to make his argument, Paul now moves on to Moses. He starts by restating the Old Covenant that Israel made at Mt. Sinai which was that if you do everything in the law, you will be saved and contrasts that with what Moses says about faith. Faith causes a shift, so it is not your work. You do not think that you or men need to drag the word down from heaven so it is accessible. You or men do not need to bring the word up from the deep, so you can have access to it. Salvation by faith is believing that God sent His Word to us so it is near us and in our mouths and in our hearts. Those are the words of faith rather than salvation by works. Which leads to you need to profess with your tongue the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. You need to understand that Christ is with you and in you in order to be saved.

The sermon emphasizes that the Holy Spirit leads believers exclusively in accordance with the Word of God, rejecting any guidance that contradicts Scripture. It asserts that true spiritual leadership results in holiness and obedience, rather than personal ambition or worldly conformity. The message highlights the believer's responsibility to listen for the Spirit's promptings, particularly in the area of evangelism, using the example of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch to illustrate divine direction. Through personal anecdotes, the text illustrates how the Spirit identifies specific individuals for salvation, urging Christians to be obedient to these nudges. The tone is pastoral and instructional, calling the congregation to active participation in soul-winning by trusting the Spirit's leading within the boundaries of biblical truth.

This sermon explores the concept of developing Christian resilience by examining the progression from tribulation to patience, experience, and hope outlined in Romans 5. It emphasizes that believers should glory in trials rather than merely seeking deliverance, using the life of Gideon as a primary example of God's faithfulness and development of ordinary individuals. The message addresses three key areas: cultivating a resilience to worry through prayer and trust in God's sovereignty, maintaining reliability in service by enduring hardness and overcoming sin, and sustaining hope through consistent worship and intimacy with Christ. The preacher encourages the audience to view failures as opportunities for growth and testimony, urging them to remain faithful soldiers of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of obedience, daily devotion, and reliance on God's grace to navigate adversity with confidence in His ultimate purpose.

Australia has shifted from being a nation of dignity, honour, resilience and perseverance, to being a nation of victims. Instead of striving to improve one's self and society, we are rather encouraged to be the greatest victim we can be. We cannot control what people say to us, but we can control how we react to it. This selfish mindset is the complete opposite of the life that Christ calls us to. I. VICTIMHOOD EMANATES FROM A PROUD HEART II. VICTIMHOOD ELEVATES PASSIONS OVER TRUTH III. VICTIMHOOD ELIMINATES PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Taking an in depth look at the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church

Reformation Sunday

His career as a preacher began in 1544 where he first preached in Ross, and then in Dundee, where, with great admiration of all that heard him he expounded Paul's epistle to the Romans. At the instigation of the Cardinal, a certain man named Robert Mill tried to stop his preaching. He said to Wishart, in a public place, that he should not trouble their town any longer, that he would not suffer it to continue. Wishart thought about this for a little with his eyes raised up to heaven, and then looking sorrowfully upon the speaker and people, he said – God is my witness that I never intended your trouble, but your comfort; your trouble is more dolorous to me than it is to yourselves; but I am assured that, to refuse God's word, and to chase me from you, his messenger, shall not preserve you from trouble, but shall bring you into it: for God shall send you ministers that shall neither fear burning or banishment. I have offered you the word of salvation; with the hazard of my life I have remained among you: now ye yourselves refuse me, and I must leave my innocency to be declared by my God. If it be long prosperous with you, then I am not led by the spirit of truth; but if unlooked for trouble comes upon you, acknowledge the cause, and turn to God, who is gracious and merciful; but if you turn not at the first warning, he will visit you with fire and sword."
