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.

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.

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.

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.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 15 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Easter Sunday 2013

– “Is there a resurrection?” This was a question debated amongst the Jews in Christ’s time, and even amongst Christians in the early Church Age. To this day, the sentiment behind this question still exists. But what does God tell us in His Word?

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 8

– There are certain issues that are amoral to the Christian. They are not inherently sinful, yet they may be a stumbling block to someone who is “weaker” in the faith. Therefore, those of us who are “strong” in the faith must be mindful not to flaunt the freedom we have through our knowledge and thus cause a weaker brother to stumble because of our actions.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 20 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Many men in ministry spend much time agonizing over methods for building the church. Gimmicks, programs, and marketing methods of all kinds are employed for the sake of drawing people in. But God has already laid out a plan for how His people are to function and live as the Church, and when we forego the schemes of man and do things God’s way, He is faithful to build His Church.
