Persecution was increasing. Saul thought he was stomping out the church in Jerusalem. He was actually spreading the gospel and causing the Jerusalem church to multiply at a faster rate. Something was about to happen that no one could have predicted. Saul's zeal of persecution was about to be stopped by a direct intervention of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Part 57

Sermon: God and Government Text: Romans 13:1-7 Speaker: Pastor Jason Van Bemmel I. Introduction: Culture vs. Scripture • Two common cultural sayings are that "religion and politics don't mix" and that "you can't legislate morality." • The separation of church and state is a biblical concept, as Jesus demonstrated by distinguishing between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God, and by declaring His kingdom is not of this world. • Legislation is inescapably moral because it aims to ban or discourage immoral behavior while protecting and promoting moral behavior. • Christians must learn to see the overarching hand of God's providence behind human government, rather than refusing to "kiss the rod of providence" and resorting to complaining. II. Christians & Government: Submission Not Resistance • The fundamental posture for every person toward the governing authorities is to be submission rather than resistance. • R.C. Sproul notes that Christians should bend over backwards to submit and be the "best citizens," meaning we cannot disobey simply because a law is inconvenient or because we disagree with it. • Paul commanded submission to the government during the reign of Emperor Nero, a ruler who violently persecuted Christians and executed millions for public entertainment. • Human governments are a manifestation of God's common grace, serving as a benefit to all humanity much like the sun and the rain. III. God & Government: Vengeance Against Evil • God appoints governments primarily to restrain and punish evil, acting as a terror to bad conduct. • While Romans 12 instructs believers to leave vengeance to God, Romans 13 reveals that the governing authori

The sermon centers on the prophetic vision of the final judgment as revealed in Malachi 3:18–4:3, portraying a day of divine reckoning when the wicked—marked by pride and rebellion against God—will be utterly consumed like chaff in a furnace, while the righteous, those who fear God and trust in Christ, will experience the dawn of eternal salvation. The passage contrasts the terror of God's wrath upon the unrepentant with the joyous hope of the redeemed, who will be healed, liberated from all suffering, and exultant like calves freed from stalls, rejoicing in the presence of Christ. The imagery of treading down the wicked as ashes underscores God's ultimate justice, where the suffering of His people is vindicated and the final triumph of righteousness is assured. The preacher calls all listeners to repentance, urging them to flee from the coming wrath, embrace Christ as Savior, and live in holy anticipation of His return, emphasizing that only through faith in Christ can one be counted among the righteous and escape eternal destruction.

In Luke 24:36–43, Jesus appears to His disciples in a locked room — and their first reaction isn't faith. It's terror. Even after hearing testimony after testimony that He was alive, they thought He was a ghost. In this sermon, we walk through one of the most human moments in all of Scripture: a room full of people who wanted to believe but couldn't quite get there, and a risen Savior who met them exactly where they were. Along the way we examine four lessons from the text: Why knowing something in your head and trusting it in your heart are two very different things How Jesus responds to doubt with grace rather than condemnation Why the resurrection is physical, verifiable, and permanent — and what it means that Jesus still bears His scars Why the resurrection should feel almost too good to be true — and why that's exactly the right response We also look at the fascinating distinction between "flesh and bones" and "flesh and blood," explore a striking parallel in Acts 12, and consider what it means that the risen Christ asked for something to eat. Whether you are someone who believes but still struggles, someone whose fear gets to you before your faith does, or someone who has heard the resurrection story so many times it has lost its weight — this message is for you.

Verse by verse exposition through the book of Hebrews. (Sermon also includes the reading and exhortation from the Lord's Table liturgy) Heb 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. Josh 2:1 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there. 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country." 3 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country." 4 Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. 5 And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them." 6 (But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.) 7 Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate. 8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, 9 and said to the men: "I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. 10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out
