AM Scripture Reading: Romans 2.12-16 This Morning’s Sermon: Brent T. Willey Not Without Law Introduction: God has given humanity “law” from the very beginning of time, both natural and spiritual. Without law, chaos reigns… However, failing to understand God’s plan, that was “promised before time began,” many have characterized Christianity as a relatively new religion. Is that so? (See Titus 1.2 & 2 Tim. 1.9) Humanity is Not Without Law, and never has been… THE MORAL LAW FROM THE BEGINNING! Moral law has existed from the time Adam & Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good & evil. […]

Brent T. Willey, evangelist Introduction: We have heard good loving people that are trying to avert confrontation say something like, “It really doesn’t make any difference what you believe as long as you are sincere in what you do.” This kind of statement, whether realized or not, belittles God. It says that God’s word, and therefore God, can be misunderstood, set aside, altered, or even disregarded with impunity. The truth of God’s word is the most important message that we can discuss and share with a lost and dying world. Therefore, we must “contend earnestly for the faith which was […]

(Exod. 20.1-17) Moses received it directly from God! (Exod. 20.22-23) Israel’s immediate idolatry… (Exod. 32.1-35) The new tablets… (Exod. 34.1-35)  Deuteronomy contains the second listing. (Deut.

AM Scripture Reading: Galatians 2.16-21 This Morning’s Speaker: Brent T. Willey DID JESUS DIE IN VAIN? Introduction: “I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness came through the law, then Christ died in vain” (Gal. 2.21). Are we under “law” of any kind? (James 1.21-25) The context of the “law” in passages like Gal. 2.21… (E.g., Rom. 3.27-28; Gal. 3.10-12; 5.1-4; Phil. 3.8-9). Since Jesus “tasted death” for everyone – both Jew & Gentile (cf., Heb. 2.9), if either the Old Law or mere morality can save an individual; then Jesus died in vain! He did… […]
