In Matthew 4, Jesus calls His first disciples. 

In this sermon, Dr. Sean Cole asks TWO fundamental questions to help us understand our own salvation experience and the need to tell others about Jesus.

Question One: WHY did these men follow Jesus?

The answer: Sovereign Calling.

Question TWO: What does it mean to follow Jesus?

The answer: Swift Commitment.

If you say yes to Jesus and decide to follow Him, it’s only because of His grace that has come to you first. It is because God has drawn you to Jesus.

It is because the Holy Spirit has softened your heart toward Jesus.

It is because God alone took the initiative to save you.

Romans 7 is considered one of the most difficult and controversial chapters in Romans.

At the end of Chapter 5, Paul makes a distinction between two and only two kinds of people:

In Chapter 6, Paul emphatically teaches that those who are now “in Christ" have decisively died to sin as an enslaving power.

So, here’s the question: Have you been set free from the enslaving, dominating power and penalty of sin or not?

We have to conclude that we have indeed been decisively set free from sin.

Here’s the problem: Why do we still sin? Why do we still do the things we know we shouldn’t do?

 Why do we struggle with doing the things we should do and fail to do them?

IF we have died to sin, been set free from sin, and our old man has been crucified, then should we not conclude that we will never sin again? That we can reach a plane of sinless perfection?

Chapter 7 describes the everyday life of a regenerate Christian who still struggles with sin.

This passage shows us that Jesus is the ULTIMATE Preacher who demands an URGENT response.

We see THREE aspects or features of this text that show us the mission and ministry of Christ as King.

First, we see the spiritual CONFLICT. Second, we see the spiritual CONDITION. And third, we see the spiritual COMMAND.

What does it mean to repent? How can sinners enter the kingdom of heaven?

Pastor Sean answers these questions in this sermon, urging the congregation to LISTEN to Jesus as the ultimate Preacher and LIVE for Jesus with an urgent response.

In the second half of Chapter 6, the imagery of “slavery” is central. Here’s the main point: As a Christian, you are free FROM sin, but that does not give you freedom TO sin.

We are free from the binding enslavement of the Law of Moses that crushes us under its weight and makes us guilty, but we are not free to do whatever we want because now we have a new master—the living God. There is no such thing as absolute freedom to do whatever you want, for both the non-Christian and the Christian. The question is not whether you will have a master—the question is WHO is your master and which one will you serve.

Dr. Sean Cole spoke at the Northeastern Colorado Right to Be Born Rally hosted by Emmanuel Baptist Church. In this brief sermon, he addresses four issues:

First, God’s Law Concerning Life.

Second, Christ’s Rule over the Nations.

Third, the Role of Governing Authorities.

Fourth, the Importance of the Great Commission. 

Under the last heading, Sean addresses the two purposes of the Great Commission: The first is the spiritual or evangelistic purpose to make disciples of the nations through the preaching of the gospel.

The second is the MORAL purpose, which involves calling rulers and nations to honor Christ’s Lordship by governing righteously.

He concludes with a plea to pray for revival and spiritual awakening.

From Romans 3:21 to Romans 5:21, Paul has gone into great detail explaining the doctrine of God’s free grace to guilty sinners. God justifies the ungodly through the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross. We have complete forgiveness, peace with God, unending access to the throne of grace, and a permanent standing of being declared not guilty before a holy God. This is terrific news.

 Some people respond to the gospel in one of two ways:

It is this second abuse of God’s grace that Paul now draws our attention to. There is a shift in Chapter 6. The focus is now on SANCTIFICATION—the process of living out our justification.

In this podcast, Dr. Sean Cole introduces his new book and reads Chapter One.

From the back cover: 

Reformed theology has experienced a dramatic resurgence in the last few decades. Thousands are discovering the awe of God's sovereignty in salvation and the tenets of Calvinism. Sadly, many of these "new" Calvinists are so zealous in defending the doctrines of grace that they often struggle to engage in charitable dialogue with their opponents. Given the mischaracterizations and confusion often surrounding Calvinism, we need a generation of faithful believers who can defend the doctrines of grace with actual grace. Those who uphold God's sovereign grace in salvation should display the most grace while unashamedly defending Calvinism. Now more than ever, the evangelical church needs a compassionate Calvinism.

We live in an American culture that is divided, and many are hostile to the gospel of Christ. How can we faithfully engage the lost?

Dr. Sean Cole preaches a sermon that addresses four key issues:

First,  the biblical mandate to preach the gospel.

Second, a brief history of American culture and its attitude toward Christianity.

Third,  two competing models for engaging culture that evangelical Christians can adopt.

The first method is the Third Way winsome approach to engaging culture. Pastor Tim Keller advocated this approach and has influenced many within conservative Reformed evangelicalism to abandon what he calls the far-right fundamentalists and the far-left progressives, and to create a new middle, or third way, that values being winsome, non-combative, nuanced, and more focused on winning over liberals and progressives to the gospel.

This model MAY work in some cases, but if we live in a negative world, there may be a better strategy or way forward.

However, there is another model: The bold, unapologetic John the Baptist model.

Fourth, Pastor Sean offers a way forward by giving seven action steps churches can take to faithfully engage culture with boldness in a negative world.

What is authentic gospel preaching? How do I practice biblical evangelism? Is there a pattern or blueprint for sharing the gospel with boldness?

In the preaching of John the Baptist, we see FOUR aspects of authentic gospel proclamation.

First, we must confront people with their sin and guilt.

Second, we must warn people of the reality of hell.

Third, we must call people to repent with urgency.

Fourth, we must urge them to trust in Christ alone.
