Sermon by Scott Brown
David Forsyth addresses the real dangers associated with growing up Christian in a believing home. While tremendous blessings accompany a Christian upbringing, children growing up in a Christian environment face the peril of mistaking conformity for genuine conversion. The sermon explores Romans 2:1-29, revealing three critical dangers for those growing up Christian: external morality without heart transformation, Bible knowledge that remains intellectual rather than life-changing, and religious ritual divorced from spiritual reality.Growing up Christian does not guarantee salvation, as Paul's indictment of first-century Jews demonstrates that morality, religious knowledge, and ritual observance are insufficient for right standing before God. Children growing up Christian may appear squeaky clean externally while remaining spiritually dead inside. The message emphasizes that growing up Christian requires more than external conformity—it demands genuine faith in Christ that transforms the heart. Just as Jewish people relied erroneously on their heritage and rituals, children growing up Christian risk trusting in their moral behavior, biblical literacy, and church participation rather than embracing Christ personally.The sermon concludes with a passionate call for those growing up in the Christian faith to move beyond externals and embrace the righteousness that comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★

Romans 2 – 2 Judgement / 2 Outcomes Speaker: Terressa Braden Slides: LINK
Have you ever wondered what God truly knows about you—the things no one else can see, even the secrets buried deep in your heart? In Romans 2:1–4, Paul reminds us that one day God will judge the hidden motives of people. In today's teaching episode, we'll explore why His judgment is perfectly fair, how it shows our need for grace, and what it means to live honestly before Him.

In Romans 2, the apostle Paul flips the script—reminding us that no one escapes God's judgment, not even the moral, religious, or self-righteous. Outward religion, Bible knowledge, or good intentions aren't enough; God is after a transformed heart. In this episode, we'll explore how integrity matters when no one is watching, why knowing God's Word isn't the same as living it, and how true faith flows from the inside out. Join us as we unpack this powerful chapter and discover what it means to live unashamed of the gospel, with a heart fully surrendered to God.

Paul is NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT JESUS THE MESSIAH. BECAUSE of his perspective of God and God's power. Paul simply wanted everyone to know His Lord and experience the power of God for salvation. Pastor Rick shared this message from Romans 1:8-17 at CrossPoint Church.

Romans 2: Hypocrisy, Judgment, and the Circumcision of the HeartPaul turns the camera around. After exposing pagan sin in Romans 1, he indicts the religious in Romans 2—people who condemn others while doing the same things. God's judgment is according to truth, His kindness is meant to lead us to repentance, and there is no partiality with Him. Whether you've got the Law (Jews) or only a conscience (Gentiles), we all stand guilty—and we all need a righteousness not our own. True belonging to God is not an outward badge but an inward work of the Spirit: a circumcised heart.God's impartial, truth-based judgment exposes religious hypocrisy and drives us to Christ, whose righteousness alone covers our guilt and renews our hearts by the Spirit.Shift of focus: from Gentile sin (Rom. 1) to Jewish hypocrisy (Rom. 2).“O man”—Paul directly confronts his own people.Problem: condemning others while practicing the same sins.Jesus already warned us: the plank vs. the speck (Matt. 7:3).God's judgment is always according to truth—no spin, no loopholes.“Every mouth will be stopped” (Rom. 3:19).Don't mistake God's patience for permission; His kindness is meant to lead to repentance, not complacency.Every unrepentant sin “deposits” wrath for the day of judgment.God renders to each according to deeds:Eternal life for those who persevere in doing good, seeking His glory.Wrath for the self-seeking and disobedient.No partiality—Jew and Gentile are judged by the same standard.Jews with the Law perish by the Law; Gentiles without the Law perish without it—conscience bears witness.Universal guilt: everyone fails the light they've received.Final judgment will expose “the secrets of men”—through Christ Jesus.Only Christ's righteousness can cover our shame and make us right.Israel boasted in the Law—guides, teachers, lights—but didn't practice it.Result: God's name is blasphemed among the nations.Today's parallel: church folks who boast in the Bible but live contrary to it.The critique “the church is full of hypocrites” is real—but the church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.Circumcision is an outward sign; without inward reality it's meaningless.True circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not merely by the letter.Modern parallels: baptism and membership are signs—not salvation.God judges impartially and truthfully; excuses won't stand.God's kindness is not approval of sin; it's an invitation to repent.Religious performance can hide a hard heart—only the Spirit gives a new one.We don't need a better mask; we need Christ's righteousness.

Shady Grove Church – Study in Romans The book of Romans is one of the richest, most powerful, and most theologically profound letters in all of Scripture. Written by the Apostle Paul around A.D. 56, Romans provides a clear and orderly presentation of the gospel message—showing that both Jews and Gentiles alike are in need of salvation, and that justification comes by faith alone in Jesus Christ. In this video, Pastor Andrew walks through Romans chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3, where Paul addresses both Jews and Gentiles, showing that all are accountable before God. Having the Law is not enough—what matters is true righteousness, which comes only through faith in Christ. Together, we'll explore: God's impartial judgment of Jews and Gentiles alike (Romans 2:1–29) Why outward religion or heritage cannot save us How all humanity is guilty before God (Romans 3:1–12) The good news that justification is by faith, not by works We'll also draw personal application from Paul's message, including: ✅ Trusting Christ alone for salvation ✅ Rejecting self-righteousness ✅ Understanding God's righteous judgment ✅ Rejoicing in the gospel that saves both Jew and Gentile Romans is more than theology—it's the gospel applied to everyday life. Join us as we dive deep into this life-changing book and discover the righteousness of God revealed through faith in Christ.
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul shows us in Romans 2:25–29 that when we place our confidence in rituals or religious traditions, we miss the heart of what God wants. True faith comes from the Spirit transforming us inwardly, leading us to repent and trust in Christ rather than relying on outward signs of religion.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on September 7, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that religious knowledge and practice mean nothing if our lives don't align with what we claim to believe, since hypocrisy ultimately dishonors God. In Romans 2:17–24, he shows that Jews and Gentiles alike—no matter how religious—still need the gospel of Christ, because only His righteousness can save.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 31, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul reminds us in Romans 2:11–16 that God's judgment is perfectly impartial and fair—unlike human courts, it cannot be swayed by wealth, influence, or appearances, but is based on truth, knowledge, and obedience.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceIn Romans 2:6–10, Paul teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, yet final judgment will be based on works—not to earn salvation, but to prove it. The righteous seek God's promised glory, honor, and eternal life through patient goodness, while the wicked live for themselves, reject the truth, and face God's wrath.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 17, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that it's far easier to see and condemn the sins of others than to recognize our own, and that doing so reveals a dangerous hypocrisy that presumes on God's kindness instead of being led by it to repentance. God's patience is not apathy toward sin but an opportunity to turn to Him before His righteous judgment is revealed.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 10, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
In Romans ch. 2 Paul teaches that both skeptics and believers, are guilty of breaking God's moral laws. Paul says God's moral laws are written in our hearts, before they're written by us. Our moral conscience, comes from God. Pastor Louis leads us through 3 questions to consider as we study this topic: 1st Are there some situations where moral laws aren't universal?2nd How do we handle situations where there's a moral dilemma?3rd Is believing that morality is a personal decision good for society?
