Sermons About Judgment
Scandalous, Merciful Grace
Jesus repeatedly stunned the religious leaders of his day with his radical demonstrations of grace to the most broken, scandalously sinful people. To them, Jesus poured out grace that was far more scandalous. The heart of God has not changed . . . mercy still triumphs over judgment, and Jesus calls his church to replicate his heart.

You're Fired!
Apostle Peter's life was filled with ups and downs. He did many great things, but he failed in big ways, too. Now, his life serves as an example to us of failure, forgiveness, and restoration. Today, I'll talk about what to do when you realize that you have done something very wrong. And, I'll share some things we can do to avoid personal, moral failure, or sin, as it is also known.

Made Right With God (Romans 5:18-19)
All men are born in Adam and inherit original sin which brings enmity with God. How does one become right with God? We cannot make ourselves righteous. By faith in Christ, we are imputed the righteousness of Christ. Adam's sin was imputed to all men, those who have faith in Christ have their sin imputed to Christ and Christ's righteousness imputed to them.

True Fellowship involves Judging each other
What is fellowship? Much more than attending a meeting and getting preached at -or even sharing a meal afterwards- true, Biblical fellowship is a mutual commitment between members of the brotherhood/ekklesia/church, that they will keep one another true to the Way, that they will judge one another and ensure that those who are in the brotherhood truly do represent 'the faith once delivered to the saints' (Jude 3). It is in this context that 'the blood of Yeshu`/Jesus cleanses us from sin."

The Consequences of False Spirituality
Luke 21:5-24 In the longer context (21:5-38) Jesus uses the destruction of Jerusalem (near future) as a preview of what to expect when He returns (far future). He shocks his disciples with a prophetic announcement that one day the Temple will be destroyed, demonstrating the perils of that hypocritical spirituality for which the Temple had become symbol. But this is only the prelude to what the final judgment will mean for all who refuse to follow the widow’s model of humble dependence upon God.

Passion Week
Jesus brought about change to the Jewish religion, He never targeted sinners, he never cleansed out a bar, He brought truth to the false teachings and practices of the Jewish religion. He brought judgment to the House of God – the cleansing of the temple, not to the world. With his actions, He exposed the fact that blind tradition robs the power of God from the lives of His people. We are saved by faith, not tradition.

Kingdom Purity: Jesus, Who Are You?
Luke 20:1-19 In Luke 20, Jesus enters into four controversies with the religious elite of Jerusalem. Their intent is to find fault in Him, but each time He demonstrates the purity of Kingdom truth. Their questions call into question His personal, political, theological, and Messianic views. But in the end, Jesus stands victorious even as the critics' anger increases. In the end, their only answer for Jesus is death on a cross.

Supernatural Disaster
In this message we examine one of the most horrific demonstrations of God's wrath, the story of the flood. While we teach our children of the rainbow and the salvation of Noah, rarely do we explain to them that the death of every person on the face of the planet was CAUSED by God.

The Way of Salvation: Part 1 (Romans 3:21-22)
This passage serves as a key turning point in Paul's letter to the Romans. Until now he has been demonstrating our sinfulness before God, the fact that we have nothing to commend ourselves to God, and that we cannot possibly do anything to earn God's favor. Now Paul shifts to show how we can receive God's favor and mercy -- through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus becomes not simply our advocate, but he becomes our substitute, taking upon himself our sins and punishment and giving us his righteousness -- a righteousness that comes only through him. The faith that receives this gift of righteousness is a faith that knows the gospel, believes the gospel, and entrusts ourselves to Christ.

That Every Mouth May Be Silent (Romans 3:9-20)
Paul's argument in this passage is that of a prosecutor. He demonstrates beyond any doubt that we are totally depraved, that our sin leaves us with no defense before a holy and righteous judge. By ourselves we cannot earn God's approval, and we deserve only wrath and judgment. But praise God for his provision of a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is our advocate and our righteousness. Though everyone stands guilty before God, everyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved, accepted by God, and adopted into God's family as his child.

The Coming Day of Wrath (Romans 2:1-16)
We live in light of the coming day of wrath, first, by thinking rightly of the sin of others; we are no better than others and must not presume on God's grace. Second, by giving ourselves to good works, not as an attempt to save ourselves, but in faithfulness, gratitude and love. Third, by thinking rightly of those who have never heard the gospel; their problem is not that they have not heard, but that they have seen God and rejected him. The only way that we will escape the judgment of God is through Jesus's death, sacrifice, and washing our sins away.

Kingdom Judgment
Luke 17:22-37 As we have learned, the Kingdom of God is in our midst. Yet, the final, culminating expression of heavenly authority awaits the return of Christ our righteous king. Today, we hear Christ Himself describe that day when the authority of heaven will be fully unleashed on creation bring terrifying judgment upon those who have not heeded the message to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him.

Self-Destruction

God's Judgment on Idolatry (Romans 1:24-32)
Paul points out that idolatry, rejection of God's goodness and authority, is at the root of all sin. Idolatry begets the sins that are listed in this passage; God gives up idolaters to impurity, dishonorable passions, and debased minds. But Paul also spells out the hope for sinful idolaters -- the One who was himself given up for our sake.

Let God's Compassion Resonate Through Your Life
It is inevitable that there will come a day for each of us when we will stand before God and will be held accountable for our life on earth. The defining difference between a sheep and a goat is this: You are one of Jesus' sheep if you share God's compassion for people in need. In today's Bible text, we can learn three lessons about letting God's compassion resonate in our lives.

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.

The Death of Jesus, Part 2 (Mark 15:33-41)
The atonement made by Jesus in his death has innumerable facets. Considering four of these facets in particular, we see Jesus as the triumphant king (Christus victor); the mediator who bridges the gap of sin that separates us from God; the ultimate moral example for us; and chief of all, our own sacrifice and substitute suffering under and completely satisfying the wrath of God in our place and whose righteousness now clothes us.

Do the Math
Math is one of the most useful ideas ever conceived by man. At its core, it is logic that cannot be denied. An undeniable math runs even through the spiritual realm: we will all die and the world as we know it will pass away. Then, we will either cease to exist or we will stand before God. Which is it and how should we live? You do the math. Key Verses: Isa 51:6, 2Pet 3:10ff, 2Cor 5:10, Heb 9:27, Joh 20:19-25, 2Kings 7

Countercultural Living
If anyone was countercultural it was Jesus. Those who worship Jesus are called to follow him by also living countercultural lives -- both in how they live and why they live how they live. It's no secret, though, that oftentimes Christians are indestinguishable from their neighbors. Why? How are Christians to live differently? Why are they to live differently? Listen in as we discuss Jesus' call to countercultural living.

When Right is Wrong - Part 2
It seems like everywhere we look we encounter people who are only looking out for themselves. We see selfish people on the highway, at the grocery store and even in the bathroom mirror. Often our attitudes are driven by the deep conviction that we are better than others. In this section of his letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul says that there is a way to live that puts other people first and sees them as equals. This way of life is what God is all about. He takes it very seriously when we treat someone with prejudice or with pride. God’s desire is that we would emulate Jesus and live with humility, seeking equality and justice for others.

Preventing a Fall
In this text the writer gives us two preventatives against falling into the same pattern of disobedience as the Israelites. 1.

The Olivet Discourse, Part 2 (Mark 13:24-27)
Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem but also looks ahead to his second coming. Much scriptural prophecy about the coming of God's kingdom has this already-but-not-yet flavor. While we cannot know when he will return, nor what the exact circumstances surrounding his return will be, but we can be sure he will return. Knowing this should cause us to be looking for his return with eager anticipation, comforted with the knowledge that he is coming, and seeking to walk in faithful obedience to our Lord.
