Sermons About Wrath
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.

Pray and Do Not Lose Heart
Last week we heard of the great and glorious day of Jesus’ return. It is a day when He will come to judge and wage war, pouring out His vengeance upon His enemies as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It will be a day of reckoning. He will make all things wrong, right, for He is Righteous and True. He will make every imperfect thing, perfect, as the Great Perfecter of all things. He will make every unclean thing, clean and pure, as the Great Purifier. It will be messy as grapes, vessels of wrath, are tread upon by the Great Victor, Jesus. As the great theologian Johnny Cash says, "God’s Gonna Cut You Down". It will be a long awaited, glorious day for the children of God, as He will make all things new. What do we do, until this great day comes, how do we live in light of this? Jesus answers this question to His disciples in a parable connected to His foretelling of His second coming, His return, when the heavens will be opened and He comes riding on that white horse.

The Tale of Two Cups
In the Bible the cup is used as a metaphor for both blessing and curse . In the book of Jeremiah God tells the prophet to inform Israel that they are about to drink the cup of the wrath of God for their disobedience. On the other hand David in his obedience explains that his cup runneth over. This morning we will see when the Tale of Two Cups reaches it's pinnacle on the Mt. of Olivesin the Garden of Gesthemane.

Jesus and the Revelation
IN our last message we ended a study of Jesus anger by pointing out that Jesus never killed anyone in his earthly ministry. In this message Jeremy J. Lundmark examines Jesus' roll in the book of Revelation. We learn that Jesus will be responsible for the death of more people in the future than God in the Old Testament ever was.

Something for everyone
God, be mercy-seated to me, a sinner. God, because of the blood poured out upon the altar, set aside your wrath and express your love and forgiveness to me.

The Anger of Jesus
Our culture's love for tolerance and disdain for open confrontation has lead to a deceiving portrait of Christ that paints him as an all loving, all gracious, and all compassionate individual. The Bible paints a different picture of a Christ who loved the poor in spirit, but hated the self-righteous, and unrepentant. We see a Jesus who despised tolerance and had a passion for open confrontation of sin.

The Lamentations of Jeremiah
In the book of Lamentations we read the prophet Jeremiah's personal account of the siege and subsequent destruction of Jerusalem. Jeremiah attributes all the destruction, pain, suffering and death to God. In this message we will see the horrific display of God's holy wrath upon a people who had turned away from Him.

Every Man, Woman, & Child
The vision of HCBC is to evangelize every man, woman, and child in the Greater Austin Area. Yet, in Joshua, God directs Israel to exterminate every man, woman, and child. Is this right? Is there something I'm mission about God?

2 Samuel 24 - Senseless Census
As we come to the final chapter in 2 Samuel we find some of our old nemeses of human strength and human success making us trust in ourselves. The author arranged these chapters so that right after the account of David's mighty men - Israel's strength, we find that David sinfully (even thought God incited him) counting Israel and Judah so that he might trust in the strength of his numbers. We must all remember that according to Hebrew thinking that whatever God permits is part of His plan. By allowing this census, God is viewed as having brought about the act. Let us, like David, not harden our hearts against the Spirit's convicting work. When we seek God's forgiveness from sin, we must not always expect the elimination of the consequences of that sin, nor should we think that forgiveness is without an atonement. David learns that even thought God's wrath is staid, it is not yet satisfied because David must build an alter a make sacrifice to the LORD for his people. It is only then that the famine ceases. You will find that it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross that the mercy of God is available so that his wrath against you is staid and satisfied. Don't be a stranger to the covenants and promises of God by trusting your own strength ... Flee to Christ and trust Him today.

What Would Jesus Bomb
An anti-war bumper sticker asks the question What would Jesus bomb? In Genesis chapter 19 we learn the answer to that bumper sticker's question: A city full of homosexuals. In this message we'll not only see God's anger towards the sin of homosexuality but also against the sin of disobedience. How should the Christian community respond to the ever growing homosexual movement? Should we hate them, accept them for who they are, or is there another answer?

The wrath of God
We are going to cover one of the most exciting and neglected topics of the Christian faith. The wrath of God. You just don’t hear about it much from pulpits today. That’s too bad. Because God’s wrath has been a dominant theme throughout church history. Why not today?

The Way of Salvation: Part 3 (Romans 3:25-26)
Jesus is the sacrificial propitiation for our sins. Propitiation is the turning away of another's wrath. In Jesus's propitiating sacrifice, we see demonstrated our sin, God's just wrath against sin, our alienation from God, and the one perfect offering of sufficient worth to remove our guilt. Jesus demonstrates God's perfect justice in bearing the punishment for our sin, and he demonstrates God's perfect love in making a way for us to be reconciled to him in spite of our sin. How good of God!

A Song of Divine Harmony
Not only is the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 a powerful picture of the gospel, but it also helps us hear harmony in regard to the nature of God, when often Christians today either worship God as a friend or as an exalted King.

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.

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 Fury of God
In this introductory message Pastor Lundmark begins a study of a very frightening characteristic of God, his Fury. Is God an all loving God. What does the Bible say. Is God more compassionate in the New Testament than in the Old. Is Jesus the Son more compassionate and gracious than God the Father. These and other questions regarding God's anger will be discussed as we begin a study through the Bible of the Fury of God.

Dying to (Not) Get Even
The desire for retaliation and revenge is built in to every person because of sin. It started in the Garden of Eden, where Adam tried to get revenge against Eve by blaming her. And it escalated when Cain retaliated against Abel by murder. But God has a different plan for those who will be a living sacrifice. God says, "You be loving and let me handle the outcome."

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.

Mankind: Without Excuse (Romans 1:18-23)
In this section of Romans, Paul begins to demonstrate our need for the gospel. He points to God's wrath, which is God's righteous antagonism to that which is unholy and unrighteous. He proves our own unrighteousness, showing that we are many times over without excuse before God. Paul shows that our sin is a form of idolatry, giving to something else the worship and service and love that God deserves. In light of this proof of our sin, the provision of Christ as our Savior shines as a glorious and welcome hope. He came to redeem us from sin, to give us his righteousness in place of our sin and guilt. What a glorious gift this is!

The Reasons for God's Wrath #2 - The Truth Substituted
Part 12 "The Reason For God's Wrath" Romans 1:21-23 Humanity's substitution for the truth: 1. Leads to our dismissal of God in our lives. This dismissal involves: * A reckless choice o We did not give God glory o We did not show God gratitude * A resulting condition o Hollow reasoning o Horrible reality 2. Involves a decision to live life apart from God. This decision led to a: * Foolish regression * False religion 3. Reminds us of our duty in this world. Every Christian must: · Give God glory * Show God your gratitude * Understand the Gospel * Worship God and Him alone

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 1 (Mark 15:16-39)
<em>The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.</em> 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.

Living a Fruitful Life Cultivated by the Living Christ
Starting at verse nine in Colossians 1 we come to a continuation of Paul’s prayer for the Colossian church. It is here that Paul unpacks some remarkable expressions that give us an understanding of the nature of God. In the closing statement he prays “so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him." To please Him... That statement would rattle a lot of people’s understanding on the nature of God who is Often seen as consumed with wrath -- continually venting His displeasure with us. If you were to ask people, “Do you feel it is possible to truly please God?” most likely you would be met with some hesitation. But what do we see here? “To please Him” is one of the first expressions that Paul presents that reveals the nature of God. This is critical. If you do not believe that it is possible to live a life upon which God would look and take pleasure in and declare that He is pleased, how likely is it that you will pursue such a life? Your life would be reduced to nothing more than an exercise in futility.

God, Please dont turn your face away.
The question being asked is 'What's the worst God can do to chastise His people when they harden their hearts?' We read in the Old Testament prophets that God is unsheathing His sword for it to be drunk on the blood of rebellious people and this is absolutely a frightening thing. Yet there is something God can inflict on a generation or a people that's much worse then all the plagues of Egypt, all the famines of the world, wars and pestilences? Listen in and find out.
