The sermon examines Romans chapter one to establish the doctrinal foundation of salvation by contrasting it with the state of ungodliness. It argues that humanity is without excuse because God's invisible attributes are clearly revealed through creation, leaving all people accountable for their rejection of Him. The preacher details a progressive descent into sin, starting with a lack of thankfulness and glorifying self over God, which leads to idolatry and moral depravity. This analysis serves to define the universal need for redemption by highlighting that true salvation is received through faith in Christ alone, not by works or religious effort. The message concludes with a pastoral prayer for comfort and a call to recognize the gravity of rejecting God's truth.

God reveals His glory through creation, but He has given you His Word to reveal the truth you need for salvation and faithful living. Scripture is sufficient and trustworthy, bringing wisdom, joy, and direction as it exposes even the sins you may not recognize in yourself. You are called to treasure God's Word while depending on Christ to forgive your hidden faults and guard you from deliberate sin. Ultimately, your hope rests not in your own faithfulness, but in Jesus, your Rock and Redeemer.

This class explores the biblical definition of foolishness as the active rejection of God and His revealed truth, contrasting it with wisdom which is the application of God's knowledge. By examining passages from Romans, Matthew, Psalms, and Proverbs, the text establishes that foolishness manifests in denying God's existence, trusting in self-reliance, and ignoring divine correction. The preacher clarifies that while believers are wise in Christ, they can still act foolishly by disobeying His commands or living as if God does not exist. Key characteristics of a fool include arrogance, credulity, and a refusal to submit to Scripture's authority. Ultimately, the message calls for self-examination and reliance on Christ to overcome folly and pursue true wisdom.

The sermon explores the interplay between divine sovereignty and human teachability through Paul's second missionary journey in Acts 16. It highlights how God redirected Paul's plans to Macedonia, demonstrating that circumstances are not always reliable indicators of His will. The narrative emphasizes Timothy's circumcision as a strategic act of wisdom rather than necessity for salvation, illustrating the importance of discernment in ministry. Central to the message is Lydia's conversion, which serves as a prime example of the Lord opening hearts to receive the gospel with a teachable spirit. Ultimately, the preacher urges believers to examine their own hearts, prioritize reliance on Christ's sufficiency, and maintain a posture of humility and openness to God's word.

The sermon explores the biblical principles of personal, family, and church responsibility in caring for the elderly and widows, drawing primarily from 1 Timothy 5. It addresses modern challenges such as the welfare state, professionalization of domestic roles, and retirement planning, urging believers to navigate these systems ethically without shirking their primary duties. While participating in government programs like Social Security is permissible, it never replaces the obligation of family members to provide care and be present. Additionally, the church retains a vital role in supporting those without familial support. Go will give us wisdom to balance present cultural realities with scriptural commands to build strong, loving community connections.

Human wisdom makes futile attempts to answer the important question of how an angry God may be placated. Divine revelation is needed. Also, here is a warning to all believers against spiritual carelessness and irreverence in the handling of holy things.

This sermon examines James 4:13-17 to challenge the human tendency toward presumptuous planning and arrogance. The preacher illustrates how individuals often make confident future plans while ignoring the fleeting nature of life and God's ultimate control over time and circumstances. By contrasting human ambition with divine sovereignty, the text emphasizes that true wisdom requires submitting personal agendas to God's will. The message identifies the failure to acknowledge this dependence as a form of sinful arrogance and omission. Ultimately, it calls for a posture of humility, faith, and readiness for death through reliance on Christ.
