Podcasts about faith alone

This week Pastor Scott takes a look at Romans 16 verses 17 &18.

Many Christians think that serving the church is like serving in the army - sign your life away to being on a roster! Others think it's like serving in a cafe - everyone using their different skills and gifts to make it happen. While rosters are sometimes necessary, and using our gifts can be helpful, Philippians 2:19-30 gives us a much bigger picture of serving the church. Join us as we see two real life examples of people who served the church simply by serving people, whatever it took.

This week Pastor Scott is back taking a look at Romans 16:1-16

When we hear objections to the truth of the gospel, we should not be surprised nor discouraged, for the enemy will certainly not be silent when the pure gospel of grace by faith alone in Christ alone is proclaimed with conviction. The enemy of our soul hates this doctrine and will seek to pervert it in any way that he can, for this gospel is our only hope of eternal salvation. It is what all false religions teach—we are saved by our works rather than by Christ's work alone. That is what separates biblical Christianity from all perversions of the true religion. The Apostle Paul likewise faced an objection from the false teachers in the Galatian Churches when he proclaimed the truth of the gospel—a very common objection that still surfaces today: If a sinner is justified and declared righteous by God through faith alone in Christ alone (apart from or works of obedience), this will only lead to a life of lawlessness and complete disregard for holiness. There is no reason/motive for him to obey God's Law. If the Law of God isn't necessary to be justified, then it's unnecessary after one is justified. Let us hear how Paul responds to this objection: (1) The Objection of the False Teachers Stated (Galatians 2:17); (2) The Response of Paul to the False Teachers (Galatians 2:18-19).

The Reformation rediscovered the five SOLAs: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria. The Reformation began with Martin Luther's 95 Theses, intended to reform the church, addressing issues like indulgences and simony. The formal cause of the Reformation was Sola Scriptura, emphasizing the Bible's authority over the Church. The material cause was salvation by faith in Christ alone.Romans 1:16-17 highlights the Gospel as God's power for salvation through faith. The bad news is mankind is ungodly and unrighteous, suppressing the truth (Romans 1:18-20, 3:10-18). Man's heart is evil, dead in sin, and by nature, children of wrath (Genesis 3:6, 6:3; Ephesians 2). No one is justified by works of the law (Romans 3:19). Man cannot save himself.Righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21). All have sinned and fall short of God's glory, but are justified by grace through Christ's redemption. Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness (Romans 4). God declares sinners legally innocent through justification, a gift based on faith, not works. Justification through faith in Christ brings peace with God (Romans 5).Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and tax collector illustrates justification by faith (Luke 18). God's name, Jehovah Tsidkenu, means "The Lord our righteousness" (Jeremiah 23:6). In contrast, Romanism/Eastern Orthodoxy views justification as a lifelong process involving works. They believe in infused righteousness and reject imputed righteousness. Catholics believe believers can obtain merit through good works produced by grace.The Protestant view is that a sinner is justified, God's righteousness is imputed, then sanctification occurs, followed by glorification. The Romanist view is that baptism infuses righteousness, but sin returns, requiring works and sacraments. The "treasury of merit" is unbiblical. Almsgiving does not cover sins.The Mass involves re-sacrificing Jesus, contradicting Hebrews. God justifies the ungodly (Romans 8). Works mark salvation but do not merit it. Professing Jesus is not enough; one must possess Him and be born again.Cardinal Barron's view on salvation for non-Christians is questioned, contrasting it with Jesus's statement in John 14:6. Galatians 2:15-16 emphasizes justification through faith in Jesus Christ, not works of the law. Faith plus works equals salvation is man-centered, while faith equals salvation plus works is God-centered. Justification by works is the essence of every false religion.#SolaFide #Reformation #MartinLuther #FaithAlone #FiveSolas #Justification #GraceAlone #Theology #Christianity #Gospel

The toleration of many contradictory beliefs on any given doctrine is the idol of our age ("that's your truth, but it's not my truth" as if there can be contradictory doctrines that are both true). As Christians, we can't stand in some morally neutral territory when it comes to the truth of Jesus Christ. Of course, we must always speak the truth in love and in humility. If people reject the truth, let it not be due to our arrogance/belligerence. Today, are we considering one of the clearest passages of Scripture addressing the doctrine of justification: Galatians 2:16. No doctrine in Scripture more clearly explains what the true gospel is than the doctrine of justification by faith alone. This isn't a secondary point of doctrine. It's an essential point of doctrine (as Paul teaches). It is the heart of biblical Christianity. This is one of the most important reasons that led our Reformed forefathers to leave the Church of Rome and to protest against her—the true gospel was perverted. We will consider two main points today: (1) A Summary of the Doctrine of Justification (Galatians 2:15-16); (2) Why Does James Say We Are Justified by Works (James 2:24)?

Romans 3:28 teaches that we're justified by faith apart from works. But James 2:26 says faith apart from works is dead. Can these passages be reconciled? Today, R.C.

Ephesians 2:10

David Papillon, Joshua 2. From the "Various 2025" series.More sermons available online at www.gbcob.org.

Jim Osman examines four Reformation gospel truths essential for understanding God's glorious grace in Ephesians 2:1-10. These biblical truths expose the fundamental divide between Protestant and Catholic theology. First, man is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, enslaved to the world, Satan, and fleshly lusts, unable to please God or work toward salvation. Second, God demonstrates His rich mercy by making spiritually dead sinners alive in Christ through sovereign grace. Third, salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone, not by works, leaving no room for human boasting. Fourth, good works follow salvation as evidence, not as a means of earning favor with God. ★ Support this podcast ★

What does it mean to be a Lutheran?  The Lutheran Reformation was founded on the “Three Solas” (Latin for “alone”): “Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone”.   In 1517, Martin Luther's 95 Theses were headed in that direction.  His 1529 Small Catechism condenses those biblical truths into a text book for instruction.  In 1521, He was called to Worms and told to “sit down and shut up” by withdrawing all his writings and declaring them to be false.  Luther stood up instead and kept proclaiming the truth.  By 1530, it was time to set the record straight - against false accusations hurled against them and confusion that was spread as to what Lutherans believed.  So the process began to draft the Augsburg Confession. It was a clear and concise summary of the teachings of Scripture, a bold declaration of what the Scriptures say and what they do not.  It was a statement of biblical truth and a refutation of biblical error.  It was a demonstration that the Lutheran faith is the Christian faith and the orthodox teachings that the church has held too since the time of Christ.   So on June 25, 1530, the Augsburg Confession was boldly, confidently and loudly read.  Charles V and anyone else within earshot heard a systematic presentation of the Bible's truth.  They heard an incredible answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Lutheran?”  And all who read its 28 articles today hear that answer as well.     What a blessing to generations of Lutheran Christians those men and their courage, conviction, and confession have been!   June 25, 1530 was truly a turning point in the life of the Lutheran Church.  Blessings have been coming our way as a result ever since.  And now as you join in our discussion, those blessings are sure to come your way as well! The Augsburg Confession is included in the Book of Concord.  You can find a free version online here.  Grab your printed copy off the shelf or get your own copy here. If you have any questions about this series or our Most Certainly True Podcast, please reach out to Pastor Hackmann at bhackmann@gracedowntown.org.  If you'd like to learn more about Grace Lutheran Church, check out our website www.gracedowntown.org.  

From the Dawson Family of Faith, Dr. David Eldridge, Senior Pastor, shared a sermon titled By Faith Alone from John 4:43–54. Visit dawsonchurch.org for more information about the ministries and missions at Dawson.

Justin Peters delivers a comprehensive examination of the ruinous ruse of Rome by contrasting Roman Catholic theology with biblical Christianity through the lens of the five Reformation solas. This ruinous ruse of Rome becomes evident when examining salvation by grace alone, faith alone, in Christ alone, for God's glory alone, according to Scripture alone. Peters demonstrates how the Roman Catholic Church has redefined fundamental biblical terms like grace, justification, and faith while adding works, sacraments, and human merit to salvation.This presentation exposes Rome's doctrine of transubstantiation, the sacrifice of the Mass, purgatory, and Marian dogmas as departures from Scripture. Through careful biblical exposition and historical documentation from the Council of Trent, Peters shows how Rome has anathematized the gospel itself by rejecting justification by faith alone and requiring ongoing works for salvation. The message honors the Protestant Reformers who sacrificed their lives—including John Hus, William Tyndale, and Hugh Latimer—to restore biblical truth and make Scripture accessible to all believers. ★ Support this podcast ★
