The Crucifixion of the Old Man

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.

Access to God

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?

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

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.

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.

The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 12, 13, & 14

– There are many spiritual gifts apportioned by the Holy Spirit, but what is the actual purpose of these gifts? How do we know a gift is from God? How are gifts to be used? What is the most important thing to consider concerning spiritual gifts? Do spiritual gifts still exist today? In this sermon, we are presented with Scriptural answers to these questions as we acquire a better understanding of spiritual gifts and their relation to the life of the Christian and the Church.

Loving God for Who God Is

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of the Book of Job

– Christians may often find that they love God, but not for the right reasons. We love Him because He gives us things, takes care of us, provides for us, and sustains us. We love Him when things are going well for us. However, Job demonstrates a completely different type of love that we should have toward our Heavenly Father.
