Sermon: God and Government Text: Romans 13:1-7 Speaker: Pastor Jason Van Bemmel I. Introduction: Culture vs. Scripture • Two common cultural sayings are that "religion and politics don't mix" and that "you can't legislate morality." • The separation of church and state is a biblical concept, as Jesus demonstrated by distinguishing between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God, and by declaring His kingdom is not of this world. • Legislation is inescapably moral because it aims to ban or discourage immoral behavior while protecting and promoting moral behavior. • Christians must learn to see the overarching hand of God's providence behind human government, rather than refusing to "kiss the rod of providence" and resorting to complaining. II. Christians & Government: Submission Not Resistance • The fundamental posture for every person toward the governing authorities is to be submission rather than resistance. • R.C. Sproul notes that Christians should bend over backwards to submit and be the "best citizens," meaning we cannot disobey simply because a law is inconvenient or because we disagree with it. • Paul commanded submission to the government during the reign of Emperor Nero, a ruler who violently persecuted Christians and executed millions for public entertainment. • Human governments are a manifestation of God's common grace, serving as a benefit to all humanity much like the sun and the rain. III. God & Government: Vengeance Against Evil • God appoints governments primarily to restrain and punish evil, acting as a terror to bad conduct. • While Romans 12 instructs believers to leave vengeance to God, Romans 13 reveals that the governing authori

In Exodus 2, the life of Moses begins to unfold under the quiet but steady hand of God's providence. We see a mother entrusting her child to the river with an uncertain future, a sister watching from a distance, and Pharaoh's daughter unexpectedly raising the very one who would later challenge Egypt's power. As Moses grows, he witnesses injustice, acts in haste, and flees to Midian, where his life again seems hidden and uncertain. Yet while Moses' story develops in the background, Israel cries out in their suffering, and the chapter closes with a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness: God remembered His covenant, God saw His people, and God knew.

James 5:13–20 reveals that God cares for His church by working through His people, calling us to actively love one another through prayer, confession, and pursuit. When we pray for healing, we are participating in God's tangible, active love, trusting Him even when His will differs from our desires. Through confession, we invite honesty over hypocrisy, walking in repentance and depending on God's grace. Finally, pursuing the wayward reflects God's heart, as we patiently and lovingly guide one another back to truth, living as doers of the Word and not just hearers.

2 Samuel 21-22.1What have we done? How do we defeat our enemies?These two questions loomed large in the minds of God's people as David became king and they didn't stop. These questions were there before David and the answers marked much of his reign. Yet, as he nears the end of his life what stands out most isn't that he answered them, but that God delivered him. God delivered his king ... and his people!
As the early church grew in numbers and unity, Satan sought to destroy it with lying, deception, and a lack of reverence for God. Acts 4:32-5:11 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
Kyle brings us the message recorded live at Covenant.
What have I done? How can I come back from that? What happens now? These questions flow through the minds of God's people as the rebellion against King David failed. They are concerned with who the King is, but also how he will feel about them ... especially if they opposed him in any way. This Sunday, we'll see how David responds to those who were near him and those who were far off. Even more, we'll see how he points us to Christ's peace.2 Samuel 19
Pastor JD offers a word of encouragement from God's Word concerning how it is that God is not through with us when we fail, falter or fall but instead will still choose us and use us with a fresh start and new beginning as He did with John Mark and the many others like him.
Pastor JD talks openly and candidly about how God's Word was his only lifeline while caring for his wife prior to her death and explains why it's everyone's only lifeline by posing 3-questions all of us would do well to ask of ourselves and answer for ourselves.

“God Is Still Holy” Exodus 19:1–15 January 18, 2026 Rev. Tony Felich ----more---- Exodus 19:1 On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. [2] They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, [3] while Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: [4] ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. [5] Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; [6] and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.” [7] So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him. [8] All the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD. [9] And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” When Moses told the words of the people to the LORD, [10] the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments [11] and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. [12] And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. [13] No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.” [14] So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments. [15] And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.” Familiarity with God's grace must never erode our awe of His holiness. I.

The Holiness of God calls us to reverent awe (7-15) Psalm 76:4-7 Isaiah 6:1-7 Habakkuk 2:20, 3:16 Ezekiel 1:28- Ezekiel 2:7 Hebrews 12 “Familiarity without reverence leads to contempt; reverence without familiarity leads to terror. Scripture gives us both.” (J.I. Packer, Knowing God)

“God doesn't give you more than you can handle.” It sounds comforting, and it’s often said with good intentions. But for many people, it lands like a weight instead of a lifeline. In his sermon, Pastor David confronts that familiar phrase and asks an honest question: Is it actually true? More importantly, is it actually helpful? Sermon God doesn’t […] The post Myth Busters // More You We Can Handle appeared first on Refuge.Church.
This sermon for The Feast of the Holy Innocents (December 28) proclaims the comforting and challenging truth that God's victory is often hidden beneath suffering. https://youtu.be/sGtmnrrv7TgPreached from Matthew 2:16–18 and Revelation 14:1, this message confronts the brutal reality of Herod's massacre while faithfully confessing Christ crucified and risen. The Holy Innocents remind us that the Church does not conquer by strength, visibility, or success, but by the blood of the Lamb.From a confessional Lutheran (LCMS) perspective, this sermon clearly distinguishes Law and Gospel. The Law exposes the murderous hostility of the sinful world toward Christ and His kingdom. The Gospel proclaims that even death cannot undo God's promises, for the Lamb who was slain now reigns. These children, though voiceless, stand among the redeemed, marked by Christ and gathered into His victory.This sermon is especially for those wrestling with grief, suffering, persecution, and unanswered questions. It offers no shallow comfort—only Christ, who enters our suffering and redeems it through His cross. Here the Church learns to see rightly: God's kingdom is present, victorious, and sure, even when hidden.Support this ministry:
