Complete Atonement; Romans 10:16-11:7

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Romans. In Romans 10-11, Paul had just stated that Faith comes by hearing, but that inevitability raises the question what about those who don't respond despite hearing? Is God's plan foiled? What does Christ's death actually accomplish? Does it just open up a pathway that man must walk through to be reconciled to God? Or does His death save completely the ones who it is meant to save? What does the scripture say?

Two Righteousnesses: Romans 10:1-4

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Romans. In Romans 10, Paul speaks of how the Jews were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness refusing to submit to God's righteousness. What is God's righteousness? What is the true standard? Can anyone compare? What happens when we set up our own righteousness?

Christ the Rock; Romans 9:32-33

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues going through Romans 9. Here Paul uses the allegory of a Rock to describe Christ to those who reject Him a Rock of offense and a Stone of stumbling. Christ is the Rock the church is built upon, our foundation that cannot be moved. The question is if we will stumble over this Rock or build our house upon it.

The Great Stumbling Stone: Romans 9:29-33

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues delving into Romans 9. At the end of Romans 9, Paul talks about how Israel pursuing the law of righteousness, did not attain it, but the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained righteousness. How is this possible? Because righteousness does not come by the works of the law, but by faith in Christ Jesus.

O Man, Who Are You? Romans 9:14-24

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues to dive into Romans 9. In Romans 9, Paul says some difficult things. In verse 19, Paul points out the natural human response to God's sovereignty, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" Paul's response, is, "O man, who are you to reply against God?" To truly understand the difficult concepts presented in Romans 9, we have to understand the true place of mankind, both wonderous and yet still clay in the hands of our Creator.
