Sermons About Condemnation
The Superior Christ (Romans 5:15-17)
From Adam we have inherited sin, guilt, condemnation, and death. But in Christ and by his death we receive so much more than mere restoration of these things. We receive not only forgiveness, but justification, the very righteousness of Christ. And we receive not only life, but eternal life, victorious and reigning life.

Luke 15.25-32: The Big I
Last week we saw the loose living of the younger son. This week we see the condemnation of the older son toward his younger brother. Just as the younger son broke his father's heart the older son will do the same by his duty bound relationship. May the church not be like this. May we sit with sinners at the table, so that we are invited one day to the wedding feast.

Introduction to Romans
Paul introduces himself to the Roman church and helps to address some Jew and Gentile issues. But the primary theme of Romans is the gospel, which Paul lays out clearly and forcefully, explaining how it is that all of us as sinners deserving of God's wrath can instead experience forgiveness, justification, peace with God, life, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

(John 8:32) We have been invited to come out of the closet. WOW! No longer living with condemning secrets. (Ephesians 5:8-14) We have been invited to confess our sins to each other. So that we may be healed. (James 5:16,17)

The Death of Jesus, Part 1 (Mark 15:16-39)
The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark highlights the irony that Jesus is mocked as king, but he is in fact king of all. Jesus suffers not only physical pain, but also the very wrath of God, in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and types, and to secure our salvation and life by suffering in our place. We are no longer separated from the presence of and fellowship with God, and in fact the crucifixion reveals clearly God's love for us. The only proper response is for us to worship in awe and gratitude.

Romans 8:28-39 Living Free in Christ 6
We are either living according to the “Flesh” (Our self-saving, god-mitigating self), or we are living according to the Spirit (Grace, forgiveness, justification). Our salvation is wholly the work of God in our lives, and not our own mechanisms that often fill in the “Gospel Gaps,” that take place of the real gospel of God’s grace in a person’s life. This is where it all hinges on this doctrine of predestination. Our comfort and hope is in this reality, not our own strength, and religious ways to feel righteous. It simply isn’t up to you, but up to the God “who didn’t spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all.”

The Beauty of His Life: Obedience

Deliverance from Our Suffering
Part One: Deliverance from Our Suffering John 19:1-42 1. The suffering of Christ involved rebukes and condemnation.

The suffering of Jesus resulted in a crucifixion. (18-29) The crucifixion of Jesus: * Was painful (18) * Fulfilled prophecy (24,36) * Pays the penalty for our sin 3. The suffering of Jesus involved a remarkable conquest. (30-42) This conquest of Christ: * Involved a cry (18) * Was complete (Hebrews 10:12) * Is to be continued (John 20:1)

Freedom from Condemnation
All of humanity stands equally condemned before a good, just, omniscient, and omnipotent God. We have committed innumerable offenses in word, thought, and deed. We may find this claim uncomfortable, or even offensive. But even those of us who reject the testimony of Scripture and the God of the Bible still find ourselves condemned by our own conscience and our own words. We all struggle to find ways to overcome our guilt and break free from condemnation. The message of the Gospel is that true freedom from condemnation is available to all. Listen in as we read Paul's ancient letter to the Galatians and ask, "how can we be free from condemnation?"

Does God love you?
Cliff asks whether God loves us despite all the pain and suffering in our life. He explains that God is just and could not ignore our sins. Instead He sent his Son to the world to pay for all the sins of the world. God then gives us the choice to accept redemption through Christ out of love and respect of Him or to refuse His gift of eternal life.
