Pastor Joe Schloegel – A topical sermon

– What is baptism? What is the purpose of baptism, why is it important to a Christian’s faith walk to be baptized, and why do we (as Baptists) submit to the practice of full-immersion? In this sermon, the subject of baptism is looked at in detail as we search the Scriptures to discover the mandate for Christians to be baptized, and learn what the Biblical meaning of this ordinance truly is.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 6 (incl. supplemental passages)

– When a person is regenerated by the Gospel, that person’s “old self” (original Greek: “old man”) is put to death and crucified along with Christ. That person is then born again into new life with Christ through His resurrection. But if we are dead to sin and alive to God, do we keep on sinning? The implications of our life as the “new man” as opposed to the “old man” are expounded upon on Romans 6.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 5:1-11

– Through our salvation, we are reconciled to God. This means that we have direct access to His throne. With that in mind, what are the ramifications of this gift and in what manner are we to approach the throne of our Lord, especially during times of tribulation?

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 4:1-8 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Abraham had faith that what was promised to him by God would be fulfilled, even though he never saw it during his lifetime. This faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. But what, exactly, is faith? Is it dreaming big and having high hopes that God would answer all of our prayers, or is biblical faith something much more specific? The answer is the subject of this expositional sermon.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 3:21-31 (incl. supplemental passages)

– In the early chapters of Romans, we learn that we are all sinners with no hope of saving ourselves. However, God doesn’t rely on us to save ourselves; He has done all of the work in our salvation, and it’s here, in Romans 3, that we see a vivid description of that saving work and it’s distinctness from the Law.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 2 & 3

– Is there any salvation to be found in the law? Are those who practice the law somehow better off than those who do not? How does the law fit into God’s divine Plan? These questions arise in the book of Romans, as do the answers given by the apostle Paul.

Guest Speaker: Caleb Abernathy – An exposition of Matthew 26: 36-46 (including supplemental passages)

– On the night Christ was betrayed, He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. There, Christ prayed with regard to the cup of God’s wrath which is to be poured out upon all sin, but which Christ Himself drank down to the dregs through His perfect, substitutionary sacrifice on the cross. Through this prayer, we see a beautiful picture of the heart of our Savior.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 2:1-16 (including supplemental passages)

– God has many unchanging attributes. He is loving, forgiving, eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, et al. What many often forget or overlook, however, is that God is also righteous and just. In the end, all will stand before His thrown to face His righteous judgment. In that moment, the question becomes: How will we be judged?

Rejecting the Revealed God

The sermon for May 5th, 2013 will not be posted on the SermonCast. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Copies are available to members of High Point Baptist Church upon request.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 1:18-32

– God has revealed Himself to humanity in a number of ways, such as through His revealed Word and also through general revelation present in creation. These revelations are the only way for us to know who He truly is and what He has done. Yet there are those who chose to reject Him, and that rejection bears consequences in their lives.
