Pastor Ray preached from Romans chapter 11 and various other areas in scripture. Is the reformed faith outdated or alive and well? Listen and believe.
In this episode we explore the profound and harmonious relationship between man's will and God's sovereignty as revealed in Scripture. Using the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith as a framework, we dive deep into biblical texts to unpack how God's sovereign purposes coexist with human responsibility. Is man's will truly free? How does God's control over all things align with our choices and actions? These are questions Christians have wrestled with for centuries, and we aim to provide clarity through a biblical and doctrinal lens.

For this purpose he has armed them with the power of the sword, to defend and encourage those who do good and to punish evildoers (Romans 13:1-4)3 Because civil authorities are established by God for the purposes stated, we should submit in the Lord to them in everything lawful that they require. We should submit not only for fear of punishment but also for the sake of conscience. We ought to make requests and prayers for kings and everyone in authority, so that under their rule we may live a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty. (Romans 13:5-7; 1 Peter 2:17; 1 Timothy 2:1-2)Romans 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, and avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. Hebrews 10:19-25 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
2LCF Chapter 22, Paragraph 1:The light of nature shews that there is a God, who hath lordship and sovereignty over all; is just, good anddoth good unto all; and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heartand all the soul, and with all the might. But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God, is instituted by himself,and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshipped according to the imagination and devices ofmen, nor the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representations, or any other way not prescribed in the HolyScriptures.https://www.grbc.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/The-1689-Baptist-Confession-of-Faith.pdfhttps://www.the1689confession.com/1689/chapter-22
