Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Good Friday marks the day that Jesus was unlawfully tried and brutally murdered on a cross outside Jerusalem, nearly 2,000 years ago. It can seem so far removed from our lives—historically and culturally—that we simply dismiss it as a mere footnote of history. But, it is not a footnote. Good Friday marks the culmination of the redemptive promises of God in the substitutionary death of Jesus, to rescue all who place their faith in him.

Media, Romans, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We continue our study of the most influential, life-changing, worldview-shaping letter ever written—Romans. It is a timeless, divinely-inspired masterpiece on the joy-filled-life-as-it-should-be freedom found in Jesus. Today, in 4:9-12, Paul continues to reveal the multi-faceted beauties of justification by faith. This is a good opportunity to zoom out, take stock of where we’ve been, and ask, “Why does Paul emphasize justification by faith like he does? Why take so much time to drive this truth home?”

We continue our study of the most influential, life-changing, worldview-shaping letter ever written—Romans. It is a timeless, divinely-inspired masterpiece on the joy-filled-life-as-it-should-be freedom found in Jesus. In 4:1-8, Paul defends justification by faith in a surprising way-by appealing to Abraham and David. In this, he demonstrates that justification by faith is not a new idea, but God’s ancient way of counting the ungodly as righteous (4:5).

We continue our study of the most influential, life-changing, worldview-shaping letter ever written—Romans. It is a timeless, divinely-inspired masterpiece on the joy-filled-life-as-it-should-be freedom found in Jesus. Today, in 3:27-31, Paul pauses to defend “justification by faith” by addressing common objections. He explains that justification by faith: transforms how we understand salvation, clarifies who salvation is for, and empowers us to live for God. But, first, we need to explore the nature of faith.

Today we continue our study of the most influential, life-changing, worldview-shaping letter ever written Romans. It is a timeless, divinely-inspired masterpiece on the joy-filled-life-as-it-should-be freedom found in Jesus. Today, in 3:21-26, the terrain shifts dramatically as Paul answers the question: In light of our sinful condition (see 1:18-3:20), how can we be made right with God? Is it even possible? In response, he begins to unravel the wonder and glory of justification by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone.
