Faith Counted as Righteousness

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.

Apart from the Law

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.

Living Under 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.

God’s Righteous Judgment

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

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.

The Content of Christianity

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 1

– When it comes to Christianity, content is key. The style of music, the preaching style of the pastor, the quality of the building the church is housed in, etc. are all secondary to the actual content that is being delivered by those means. In the Letter of Paul to the Romans, we see why, exactly, content is so important.
