Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from November 30, 2025 Romans 13:8-14 | Pastor Ed Paul's point is simple and urgent: we owe one debt that never stops—love. Love is the fulfillment of the law; if you truly love your neighbor, you won't harm them, and the commandments take care of themselves. So wake up—our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; walk in the day—not in partying, drunkenness, lust, strife, or envy—but “put on the Lord Jesus Christ” and don't give your flesh any room. This is the New Covenant life: God's Spirit pours His love into our hearts so we can actually live it. Seize your “24 inches” today—love the real people in front of you. - Ed Rea - Sunday, November 30, 2025

Sermon notes - 11/30/25 Romans 13: 11-14 . "Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." Romans 13: 11-14 . What is advent about? Advent signifies the arrival of someone or something significant. For the Christian, Advent is about the arrival of the person of Jesus Christ. And in that context, advent has a double meaning: we remember Jesus's first arrival, but we also look forward with anticipation and awe for His second coming. So, what should we do since we live between two significant seasons like this? We wait. And we prepare. And that is what advent is about for us - waiting. By nature, we are not good waiters. We get antsy if we have to wait in traffic for just a single red light. If we don’t receive something “now” we begin to lose our focus and our eyes start to drift toward something more easily attainable. But waiting is incredibly important for the Church. In this passage from Romans, Paul gives us reminders to wait. He reminds us that when we stop waiting well, we revert back to our old ways. We forget why we left the darkness, and the enemies of our soul can lull us to sleep. . So waiting simply means to stay awake. In our exhaustion from waiting, we can begin to lose our heart for the Lord because we’re tired, despite knowing the danger. The Enemy tells us “The way you’re living your life is not working.” We must plead for a supernatural ability to stay awake. When we first came to Christ, we came to Him because of His promises. We are now closer to their fulfillment than we have ever been! Christ is close. Christ is coming! And we must stay awake by walking in the love He has given to us. Waiting on advent should be a constant shedding of the garments of darkness. We have a savior who is coming back to right every wrong. With that knowledge, we should walk as in the daytime. . Paul gives us examples of things to take off. At first the focus is on carnal sins like sexual immorality and drunkeness.Then Paul pivots to what seems more acceptable behavior in this world, but the passage reminds us this behavior is still walking in darkness! Discord and jealousy and strife are behaviors we should avoid. We are to cast that off too! We are to put on Jesus Christ and cast of flesh. That's what it is to live in the light.

We're starting a new series for Advent at both the 10am and 4:30pm Services and this Sunday, Assistant Pastor, Tim Guest, will be preaching on the four readings for the First Sunday in advent prescribed by the Reformed Common Lectionary - Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44. The readings guide us to begin Advent by reflecting on the future hope of God's perfect peace and responding to that hope by engaging in immediate spiritual wakefulness and moral transformation in preparation for the Christ's glorious return.

Year A, First Sunday of Advent*Parents! There is a line in today's passage that contains adult themes.

Fr. Mike focuses on the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch and how it demonstrates the importance of having guidance when reading Scripture. Although God's Word is infallible, we can easily misunderstand it without proper interpretation, which is why we have the Magisterium of the Church. Lastly, Fr. Mike also touches on the role of persecution in the life of the Church, and St. Paul's encouragement to abide by the law of love. Today we read Acts 8, Romans 13-14, and Proverbs 27:15-17. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Romans 13 vs 1

The Book of Romans Series: Colleen and Nikki discuss Romans 13:8–10. Did you know that the Ten Commandments of the Bible were replaced by a command of Jesus—to love? Does that mean we can lie, steal, and commit adultery?Music: Falling Awake © 2010 Nathanael Tinker.

As Paul addressed the church in Rome concerning their relation to the governing authorities, we dive through the text to see how this applies in our context.

In this week's message from Romans 13, we reflect on what it truly means to live as people transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ. Paul reminds us that the Christian life is shaped by two beautiful callings: to love our neighbor and to walk in the light of Christ. Love, he says, is the one debt we never finish paying—a lifelong commitment that fulfills God's law and reflects His heart. We're also invited to “wake from sleep,” casting off the works of darkness and putting on the armor of light, living every day in readiness for Christ's return.As we enter a season of gratitude and anticipation, this passage gently encourages us to examine our lives, to pursue holiness, and to let the character of Jesus clothe every part of who we are. May this sermon lead you to deeper love and deeper joy in Him.

Christians should love others urgently as Christ transforms their lives

What does it mean to put on Christ? What is the meaning of Romans 13:14? How can I put on Christ?

In this episode, we dig into a chilling speech from right-wing influencer Benny Johnson at the recent Charlie Kirk rally—a moment that reveals just how deeply Christian nationalism can distort Scripture to serve political power. (October 8, 2025)

This week we're kicking off a new sermon series, "Everyday Disciple". Continuing our marathon in Romans, today we're looking at some biblical examples of 'church vs politics', as well as the importance of living holy.

The Book of Romans Series: Nikki and Colleen discuss Romans 13:5–7. The Bible mandates that Christians are to be faithful in paying their taxes to the government because the rulers in government are servants of God. Think about the type of government that the Christians were under when this was written—the Roman Empire—a power that persecuted and martyred Christians.Music: Falling Awake © 2010 Nathanael Tinker.

The last verse in Romans 12 speaks ofdealing with the issue of evil in this world. Today'sVeterans Day and I want to take time to thank our veterans. I hope that youhave someone you know that is a veteran and you can give them a personal thankyou for their service to our country. I'm convinced that the Bible teachesthere are four world empires beginning with the Babylonian Empire, then ofcourse the Medo-Persian Empire, then the Grecian Empire, then the Roman Empire(Daniel 2:36-45). The last kingdom that'll be on planet Earth is the kingdom ofour Lord Jesus Christ in His millennial reign. That's what I believe prophetic Scriptureteaches. Which means the Chinese will never rule the world. The Muslimcountries will never rule the world. ISIS will not rule the world. We don'thave to worry about that.  Butwhat keeps them from taking over right now? I'm convinced China would invadeAmerica in a moment's notice if they thought they could win. But my friend,there is something that stands in their way. That is the United Statesmilitary. The might of the United States military. I'm convinced God probablyraised this country up, even though it's not in prophecy, to be that peoplethat stand against evil of this world in the end times. Romans 13 is addressingthis subject of dealing with evil through nations and governments that God hasordained and raised up. “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but toevil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and youwill have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. Butif you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he isGod's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. (Romans13:3-4). “Heis God's minister”, that'sthe people that God appointed to administered that government. This includesthe soldiers that work in that government, the police officers. And, “If youdo evil, be afraid for He does not bear the sword in vain. For He is God'sminister and avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil”. I believeGod has raised up America to stand against the evil of this world.  Thankyou veterans!!!! We would not be free today to worship, to share, to give, togo as we do with the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. We would not enjoywhat we enjoy in this great country, America, if it was not for you. Yourwillingness to sacrifice your life when you signed up, when you were drafted,if you were my age back in the days of the Vietnam War. But you served. Youwere willing to sacrifice your life for our country. We can't say thank youenough. Just like I'm a minister as a pastor, you are a minister of God to dealwith the evil of this world.  Haveministered to God through the word of God, through the local church, you'vebeen a minister of God. Now,I'm also convinced the church is really special in God's agenda today. Part ofGod's agenda today is that through the church, we spread the Gospel of peace,the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have the responsibility to be soldiers of thecross. I'm afraid as believers in the church, we have lost the mentality ofwhat it is to be a soldier. That's why Paul, who was a good faithful soldier ofthe cross, said in second Timothy 2:2, That we, “Therefore must endurehardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”. A soldier is committed to hardships,to live the hard tough life and be willing to die for the sake of the Gospel. Jesusnever promised us a life of ease as His followers! Weas a church are to be like soldiers. We want to be like Paul, keep the faith,share the good news of Christ and let the world know there's an answer to thebrokenness in their lives. That answer is Jesus Christ Himself. Again,thank you veterans for serving.  Godbless you!

How should a Christian engage with the government?

What does Romans 13 really say about obeying political leaders—and why are so many American Christians using it to defend authoritarianism? Former evangelical pastor Pat Kahnke breaks down the history, theology, and misuse of passages like Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2—passages used to justify everything from slavery to fascism. This is part of a YouTube series exposing how scripture has been weaponized to support corrupt power, particularly in the age of Donald Trump and Christian nationalism. It's time for Christians to grow up, read responsibly, and speak out against injustice.

In this message from Romans 13, we're reminded of a truth that often challenges us deeply — that God calls us to honor and submit to the governing authorities He has placed over us. Pastor Jim Schultz gently walks us through Paul's teaching to the church in Rome, written during the cruel reign of Nero, and helps us see that obedience to this command is not about blind loyalty to human rulers, but about faithful trust in God's sovereignty.As followers of Jesus, we are called to live with integrity, humility, and respect — even when it's difficult. This sermon invites us to reflect on how our words, actions, and attitudes toward authority reveal our relationship with God. Join us as we learn how to live as good citizens, love our neighbors, and honor those in leadership, while standing firmly for truth and trusting in God's perfect justice.
