Conejo Church Sermons

Paul takes a moment to survey the wondrous Cross of Christ in Romans 3:27-31.  The Cross of Christ completed once for all God's miraculous plan of redemption, whereby He offers to implant His righteousness INTO every one who believes in Jesus Christ, as a freely given gift.  His work on the Cross is D-O-N-E, introducing the glorious principle of salvation by faith alone, or Sola Fide as they said during the Reformation.  This week we will consider the Cross and the salvation by faith alone offered to every believer as a radical departure from all human religions.visit us at: conejochurch.com

This is Paul's Closing Argument in God's Case Against the Human Race, in Romans 3:9-20.  We will find the final answer to our question we asked when this court was convened back in Rom. 1:18-20: What's Wrong with the World?  Paul answers with one word, the last word in both Rom. 3:9 and 3:20:  SIN.  We will take a hard look at our great human enemy, sin ... defining it, considering it, sitting under it without being able to wriggle out from under it.  It is not easy material, but it is priceless in its TRUTH value, because until we have a certain diagnosis, we cannot find a cure!  Come hear God's diagnosis of humanity's greatest problem this Sunday!  And then next Sunday, we will consider His glorious CURE for every believer through Jesus Christ our LORD!visit us at: conejochurch.com

Exhibit C is God's Case Against the Human Race, a representative of humanity that is the Best Case - the Jews, God's Chosen People.  Paul writes as a consummate insider, a Jew writing about Jews, and the Holy Spirit gave Paul profound insights into the Jewish heart and their sacred texts of the Torah and the Prophets.  Paul will reveal how even the Jews, precious to God as the very heart of humanity, the blessed recipients of the oracles of God in the Torah and all the Hebrew Scriptures, still fall short and end up doing the same things as the other Exhibits in the Court.  We will see the genius of God in planning specifically to change the hearts of Jewish believers, His way of making hearts holy like He is holy, determined and written in the Torah itself and in Ezekiel.visit us at: conejochurch.com

We return to the Courtroom, for Exhibit B in God's Case Against the Human Race, a representative of humanity that is the Good Case, in Romans 2:1-16.  How many of us have heard people describe themselves this way: "I'm a good person, I don't hurt anybody.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to heaven because I am a good person..."  Sadly, this prevalent view is woefully inaccurate.  When Jesus was called "Good Teacher," He rightly pointed out, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone." (Mark 10:18). This week's text will make an epic contrast between our double-standard, 'easygoing on ourselves but harsh on others' human judgment, and the unchanging, fair and impartially applied righteous judgment of God.  And the main thing that makes God's judgment so right and so different is that it always begins with KINDNESS, for "the kindness of God leads you to repentance." (Rom. 2:4).visit us at: conejochurch.com
