It may surprise some folks, especially if you are hearing this for the first time, but the sacrament of Baptism is meant to strengthen our faith. One of the reasons we often miss this is because too often we think of baptism in terms of what we have done--repented of our sins, put our faith in Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson explains that, baptism is really chiefly and principally about what God has done in Christ--and this is good news.
Sovereign God, Saving Faith (Romans 9:14-33) by Josiah Graves
Have you ever wondered what it truly means to live by faith in every part of life? In this episode, we'll unpack Romans 1:17—seeing how faith reveals God's righteousness by highlighting His unwavering character, His justice and mercy, and by strengthening our hearts to endure every trial.
Pastor Gabriel Hughes preaches from Romans 4 about the promise God made to Abraham, and how all of us who believe by faith receive the same promises for we are children of Abraham. Visit providencecasagrande.com for more info about our church.
A sermon from Simon Guevara from Romans 5:1-11
Pastor Gabriel Hughes continues preaching through Romans, drawing on Paul's example of Abraham as one who was justified by faith and not by works, that he would be the father of all who believe by faith. Visit providencecasagrande.com for more info about our church!
A sermon by Kelly Brady from Romans 4:1-25
In a world that often tolerates fear, timidity, and passivity, God is calling His people to rise with boldness—not a boldness rooted in personality or pride, but one fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel was never meant to be consumed quietly, but to be proclaimed powerfully.In June, Pastor Josh, will lead us as we discover what it truly means to walk in Holy Ghost Boldness—the kind of courage that shakes rooms, opens doors, and speaks truth no matter the cost. We'll explore what it looks like for men, fathers, and leaders to rise with Bold Courage, how to walk with Bold Faith that defies circumstance, and how to have a Bold Approach to God—confident, unashamed, and full of expectation.“When they had prayed… they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” – Acts 4:31It's time to get BOLD. Because Power is not a thing of the past—God is moving today.#bold #sermonseries #overflowdfwwww.overflowdfw.comSupport the show
A sermon by Kelly Brady from Romand 3:21-31
Unlocking Divine Potential Through Positive Memory and Imagination I. Introduction and Core Thesis The central message of this sermon revolves around the idea that believers possess everything they need for "divine healing, divine deliverance, favor, prosperity, perfection" within their spirit, which is where the Holy Ghost resides. The key to "releasing everything you have in your spirit" and experiencing a "forceful, powerful, and supernatural" life is a positive and God-centered use of memory and imagination. The speaker emphasizes that God desires to teach believers how to utilize these faculties in alignment with His thinking, moving away from dwelling on past regrets or future anxieties. II. Key Concepts and Themes A. The Spirit as the Source of All Divine Provision Indwelling of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Ghost, healing, the voice of God, and the power of the resurrection all reside "in your spirit." "Everything You Need": Citing 2 Peter 1, the sermon asserts, "I've given you everything you need for life and godliness. Well, I can tell you it's all in your spirit. Favor, prosperity, perfection, it's all there." Rivers of Living Water: The goal is to move from a "trickle and a drip" to a "forceful, powerful, and supernatural" flow, referencing Jesus' statement about "rivers of living water" flowing from one's "belly" (spirit). B. The Power of Memory and Imagination (Hebrew: Yet) Positive Memory as a Key: A significant portion of the sermon highlights the importance of using memory "in a positive way." This is presented as "a real key to releasing everything you have in your spirit." Avoiding "What-ifs" and "If-onlys": The speaker strongly discourages living in past regrets or hypothetical scenarios ("if only I would have done this," "what if I was born into a rich family"). "God is a today God." Imagination as Mental Image and Faith's Partner:The Hebrew word yet (translated as "thoughts" in 1 Chronicles 29:18 and "frame" in Psalm 139:15) is presented as referring to imagination. Imagination is defined as "the power of forming a mental image that is not yet present." It is directly linked to faith and hope: "This is what faith is. Faith is being sure of what you hope for. Hope is like the switch that turns on faith... Faith works with hope to produce a positive image of yourself. You're not going to be healed unless you see yourself in your mind healed." Vision and Purpose: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." God desires everyone to have a "purpose in life, a vision, some type of a calling." This ties back to the Catholic Catechism's purpose for humanity: "to know him, to love him, and to serve him in this world." C. Communion as a Tool for Positive Memory and Healing Remembering Christ's Sacrifice: Taking communion is presented as an act of remembering Jesus' "sacrifice," "finished works," and the reality of being "forgiven... healed... whole." Healing is the Children's Bread: The sermon emphasizes that "healing is the children's bread," citing the Corinthians' premature deaths due to their inability to "discern the body of the Lord" as healing. Practical Application: Communion can be taken "every day," even "three times a day," and does not require a church setting. Each instance has a "tangible presence of God" and "puts you in a status of Christ consciousness, not sin consciousness." Testimony of Healing: The speaker shares a personal testimony of his daughter's tumor disappearing after one cancer treatment, attributing it to taking communion and remembering Jesus' finished work. D. The Battle of the Mind and Overcoming Negative Imagination/Strongholds Imagination's Dual Nature: While powerful for good, imagination can be used negatively (e.g., Noah's time, Tower of Babel). Strongholds and Casting Down Imaginations: Strongholds are "something in your mind that occupies your thoughts, something that's just all consuming" (e.g., fear, hatred, anger). The battle is in the mind, and believers are called to "pulling down of strongholds... casting down imaginations... bringing thought every thought into captivity to obedience to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). Paul's Example of Forgetting the Past: Paul, despite his past as a murderer of Christians, exemplified forgetting "about the things that are behind" and pressing forward, knowing he was forgiven. Thinking Like God: "As a man thinks in his heart, so he is." Believers are encouraged to "begin to think the way God thinks" by focusing on "whatsoever things are true, are noble, are lovely, are good, are excellent, are praiseworthy" (Philippians 4:8) and setting their minds "on things above, not on the things of the earth" (Colossians 3:1-2). Controlling Emotions through Positive Memory: Recalling a negative memory (like an Italian family member's 30-year grudge) illustrates how negative memories control emotions. Thanksgiving is presented as a powerful tool: "Thanksgiving will free you from every toxic emotion." God's Perspective on Memory: "You will keep him in perfect peace. Him whose mind [imagination] is stayed or focused on you." God's thoughts are not our thoughts; His ways are higher (Isaiah 55). E. God's New Covenant and His Forgiving Nature Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness: Under the New Covenant, God's nature is characterized by "grace," "mercy," and "forgiveness." The law made people "sin conscious"; Jesus made us "grace conscious" and "Christ conscious." God's Forgiveness of Sin: God's forgiveness is complete and eternal. "I will be merciful to their unrighteousness... and their sins, and their lawless deeds, I will remember no more." This means God "blotted it out of his memory." God Remembers Only the Good: At the judgment seat of Christ, God will remember only the "gold, with silver, and with precious stones" (redemptive, blessing actions) and burn away the "wood, hay, and stubble" (negative things). Believers are encouraged to emulate this and "remember only the good things of the past." God's Unconditional Love: "Father, you love them [disciples], As much as you love me." God's love is "beyond our belief, beyond our imagination." F. God's Foresight and Orchestration of Life Predestined Purpose: Psalm 139:15-16 is interpreted to mean that God "wrote everything in a book before you were born." He has "perfect foreknowledge without control," knowing when a person will choose Him and orchestrating their life accordingly. Imitating God: Believers are called to "be imitators of God as his dear children and walk in love as Christ also has loved us" (Ephesians 5:1). This means thinking and acting like Him. G. New Testament Laws (Laws of the Spirit) The sermon clarifies that "we're not under the law" of the Old Testament (10 Commandments, dietary laws, Sabbath), as they were "nailed to the cross." Instead, there are New Testament "laws" written in the mind and heart: Law of Love: "Love one another as I have already loved you" (John 13). Laws of Giving: "Give and it shall be given unto you." God desires prosperity to be a blessing to others. Law of Liberty: "Stand fast in the liberty where Christ has set us free." Not burdened by the "yoke of slavery." Law of Faith: (Romans 3:28) Not "name it and claim it." "Faith without works is dead." It requires action. Based on God's promises. Believing "they've received before you even get it." Looks back at "the finished work of Christ. It's already done." God speaks from the "inside out," not the "outside in," often through "thoughts and impressions" in one's own "vernacular." "Faith has a voice. It speaks. It's not silent. It speaks. It declares." Believers should "speak to the problem," not just tell God about it. H. Benefits of the New Covenant (Psalm 103 as Prophecy) Psalm 103 is presented as a prophetic psalm about the "finished work of Christ," not fully applicable to David in his time. "Don't forget all his benefits":"Who forgives all your iniquities." (Unlike the Old Testament's temporal forgiveness). "Who heals all your diseases." (Jesus' stripes healed us; healing is part of the atonement, "it's in your spirit"). "Who redeems your life from destruction." (Crossing from death to life; spirit is "impenetrable" by sin). "Who crowns you with loving kindness, which is the word hesed, which is grace. And he crowns you with mercy." Goodness and mercy "shall follow me all the days of my life." "Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like an eagle's." This refers to speaking life and experiencing renewed strength, effortlessly soaring like an eagle by "waiting upon the Lord." III. Practical Applications and Call to Action Daily Communion: Actively engage in communion as a daily practice to remember Christ's finished work and activate healing. Control Your Thoughts: Be intentional about focusing your mind on God's truth, positive images, and His character. Cast down negative imaginations and strongholds. Practice Thanksgiving: Cultivate a spirit of gratitude to overcome toxic emotions. Speak to Your Problems: Use your voice to declare God's will and truth over challenging situations, not just tell God about them. Live in the Present: Embrace the "I am" nature of God by focusing on "this moment" rather than past regrets or future fears. Document God's Work: Keep a "book of remembrance" of all the times God has supernaturally intersected your life. Seek Help When Needed: While God is supernatural, if struggling for years, seek help from those with spiritual gifts (visions, prophetic, word of knowledge) who can "lift you from the realm of doubt into a point of reception." IV. Distinguishing the Old and New Covenants The sermon frequently contrasts the Old Testament (law, temporary forgiveness, sin consciousness, God not forgiving all iniquities/healing all diseases) with the New Testament (grace, permanent forgiveness, Christ consciousness, complete healing, God's indwelling in the spirit). This distinction is crucial to understanding the believer's current position and access to divine power.
The Power of Faith - Romans 4
The Power of Faith - Romans 4
Send us a textI believe The Book of Romans stands as the most profound of all the biblical letters, meticulously crafted by the Apostle Paul to address the pressing question: How can a righteous God make unrighteous people righteous? This exploration unfolds through a structured progression, revealing the depth of God's redemptive plan.1. Righteousness Needed (Romans 1:18–3:20)Paul begins by establishing the universal need for righteousness. He portrays humanity's descent into sin, highlighting that both Gentiles and Jews are under sin's dominion. This section culminates in the assertion that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), emphasizing that no one is justified by works of the law.2. Justification by Faith (Romans 3:21–4:25)Transitioning from the problem to the solution, Paul introduces justification by faith. He explains that God's righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe (Romans 3:22). This justification is a gift of grace, made possible through the redemption in Christ Jesus. Paul uses Abraham as a prime example, illustrating that righteousness was credited to him through faith, not works.Desiring God3. Righteousness Accomplished (Romans 5–8)Having established justification, Paul delves into its implications. He contrasts Adam's act, which brought condemnation, with Christ's act of righteousness, leading to justification and life for all men (Romans 5:18). Believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, symbolized through baptism, and are called to live as instruments of righteousness. Paul acknowledges the struggle with sin but assures that through the Spirit, believers are empowered to live victoriously, with nothing able to separate them from God's love (Romans 8:38-39).4. Righteousness Vindicated (Romans 9–11)Paul addresses the complex relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility, particularly concerning Israel. He affirms that God's word has not failed and that not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel (Romans 9:6). While Israel pursued righteousness through the law, they stumbled over the "stumbling stone," Christ. However, Paul holds hope for Israel's future salvation, emphasizing God's mercy and the mystery of His redemptive plan.5. Righteousness Practiced (Romans 12:1–15:13)Concluding with practical exhortations, Paul urges believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1). He outlines how righteousness manifests in daily life: sincere love, honoring others, being zealous in service, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. Believers are called to live in harmony, overcome evil with good, and submit to governing authorities, embodying the transformative power of the gospel in all aspects of life.SummaryRomans masterfully articulates the journey from recognizing humanity's unrighteousness to embracing God's provision of righteousness through faith in Christ. It underscores that righteousness is not achieved by human effort but is a gift received by faith, leading to a transformeSupport the showFor an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Date: Sunday, May 18, 2025Title: It Depends on FaithPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 15)Passage: Romans 4:13-25
All who turn to Jesus in faith will be saved! It may seem simple but that's part of the point. For centuries people have been trying to earn their way into right standing with God only to find they have fallen short. The good news of the gospel is that salvation comes through faith in God's promised savior Jesus Christ. Even more, this faith is available to everyone who believes in Him. There is no ethnic, economic, social, or other barrier. God has made salvation available to anyone who would turn to Him in faith!

In this second part of Charlie's message on Romans chapter 4, he begins with verse 9 that argues Abraham was not declared righteous because he was circumcised as a sign of being Jewish. He was circumcised (Genesis 17) some 14 years after he was declared righteous in Genesis 15. This makes Abraham the father of all who believe, not just the Jews who are circumcised. God's promise of Abraham's seed or descendant who would be heir to the promise can only be appropriated through faith, not works or rituals like circumcision. Neither can the Law obtain the promise. On the contrary, the Law brings God's wrath because it condemns all who break it, which is everyone. Paul's conclusion is that grace can only be ralized through faith. A good illustration of faith is how Abraham believed God's promise of an heir even though he and Sarah were old and beyond natural childbearing age. Yet Abraham believed God could do this miracle, and Abraham's faith was again vindicated. Paul assures the readers that this story and its lessons on justification through faith alone was written for the sake of his readers, and by implication, for us today. We can also be justified by faith in the gracious promise of God. #SimplybyGrace#Simplythroughfaith#Faithalone#Romans4

Send us a textWelcome to This Episode of The Bible Project Daily PodcastAre You Ashamed of Your Faith?Some believers struggle with openly sharing their faith. Whether due to fear of rejection, uncertainty in answering tough questions, or cultural resistance to Christianity, many hesitate to speak boldly about the gospel. But in Romans 1:16-17, Paul makes a powerful declaration: "I am not ashamed of the gospel."In this episode, we explore why Paul had such confidence and how we can develop the same boldness. We will discuss:The key themes in Romans 1:1-17, including Paul's calling and his eagerness to preach the gospel.The meaning of salvation in past, present, and future contexts.How the gospel is the power of God for salvation and reveals the righteousness of God.The biblical call to live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4) and what that means for us today.Paul understood that salvation is not just about being saved from sin's penalty but also about being transformed daily and ultimately being glorified in eternity. This gospel message is for everyone.As we journey through the book of Romans in upcoming episodes, we will see how righteousness is both declared through justification and produced in our lives through sanctification. Faith is the key.So, are you ashamed of the gospel?

How can a sinner be made acceptable to a righteous God? Many explanations of what one must do to be saved have confused the issue. In part 1 of this sermon on Romans chapter 4, Charlie shows how verses 1-8 makes it clear that salvation is simply through faith. Having made the case that jutification salvation is given by God as an absolutely freely gift in Romans chapter 3, the Apostle Paul goes on to argue that the only way for a sinner to obtain that free grace is through faith. Faith is being convinced that something is true and therefore trustworthy. Faith is contrasted with works. Using Abraham as an example, and citing Genesis 15:6, Paul shows that Abraham was not justified before God by his works, but through faith in God's promised descendant who would bless the world. Abraham's faith may have been justified (vindicated, affirmed) before men when they saw him willing to obey God and offer Isaac as a sacrifice, but that did not justify him before God. Charlie takes a quick look at James 2:20-24 explaining that Abraham's faith was seen by others and therefore his faith in God was vindicated or shown to be genuine. King David is mentioned as an example of someone--another key Jewish figure--who enjoyed the benefit of forgiveness of sins because of his faith. There is hardly a clearer passage in the Bible than this one which shows the simplicity of salvation through faith. #SimplybyGrace#Simplythroughfaith#Faithalone#Romans4
