Something as high as a host of angels appeared to something as low as a few scattered shepherds. Jesus came to all and for all.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Meet the King - Luke 2:11Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

They were called wise men before this story began. Then they proved their wisdom by seeking Him out and worshiping Him.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Those who receive the good news praise God for those who proclaim it.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

It is not too high, it is not too low, and it is not complicated. Salvation is available to all who believeOleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

The religious Jews of that day knew the Law, and were zealous for it. But they did not know God’s righteousness or seek it.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Just like Israel, we sometimes think it is our righteousness that saves us. Only the righteousness of Christ, attained through faith, can do that work.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

The question is, how can God blame us, when it He is the One who made us and no one can resist His will? The answer feels like a hard slap – Who do you think you are to question God. He’s the Potter and you’re just a pot! The reality is we do resist His will, and we do it to our own harm.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

We enter into the difficult area of God’s sovereign election, and how wrong it sometimes looks from the human perspective. But God’s Word has not failed, and His gift is gracious.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

We see Paul’s deep desire to see his people come to Christ. We should desire that drive for ourselves.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

The next 3 chapters stand apart and deal with the question of how the Jews fit into God’s plan with the Church. We will go through these chapters the same way we’ve gone through the rest of Romans, but this message will be an introductory overview.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Robert McDowall Mission Report and SermonOleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

God loves us deeply. Deep faith recognizes this is true.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

It’s not that we don’t have an enemy. It’s that the enemy doesn’t measure up to the heroes watching out for us.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

This passage is a paragraph about the confidence we have in God’s blessings. We know that all things work together for good to us, because He has already glorified us.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Some of our most important, most urgent prayers are beyond our ability to express. The Holy Spirit does for us what we cannot do for ourselves.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

We live in the time of suffering, but we persevere in the confident hope of a better life to come.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

This passage reveals the wonderful relationship that lets us call God ‘Abba, Father,’ and the ominous teaching that this may call for suffering.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

How Will They Hear? Ephesians 2:12-14Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Pastor John Doyle speaks on Hebrews 6:4-6Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Today’s passage makes having the Spirit crucial to living the Christian life. How do I know I have the Holy Spirit? This Sunday’s message will wrestle with this sometimes difficult question.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Works of the flesh or keeping of the Law cannot please God. But the Spirit can, and God has given us His Spirit.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

What a refreshing and liberating statement. After all the things that can’t help us, there is no condemnation if we are in Christ.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

There’s what I want to do, but don’t do, and there’s what I don’t want to do, but do anyway. Aaaah!Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Have you ever been in a contest where you were hopelessly outclassed? You didn’t realize it at first, but it soon became evident, and you just wanted to give up, but you couldn’t. Welcome to the struggle to keep the Law.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Paul Nelson speaks on the subject of ordinationOleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

It’s almost as if this passage is written to say, “Here’s another way you can look at it….” After an illustration from slavery to explain our freedom from sin, we now have an illustration from marriage. Having died with Christ, we are free from our relationship with sin, to enter into a relationship without sin.…

There are things we’ve all done for which we are ashamed. That’s what we’ve earned by our works. But God gives eternal life.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

When Jesus died, He died to sin, once for all; and the life He lives, He lives to God. We are supposed to consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God; but sometimes, sin doesn’t want to die, and sometimes we don’t want it to.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

There is a lot of discussion about what baptism is and what it means. From this week’s passage, it is associated with Christ’s death and resurrection. And association with His resurrection doesn’t just mean new life in the hereafter, but new life now.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Those who take their sin lightly also take their Savior lightly. This passage addresses those who take grace and turn it into a license to sin, and it says, “Don’t even go there.”Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

One sin is enough to condemn, but by one act of righteousness Jesus saves after many sins. We begin to see how great His grace is.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

This passage, verses 12 to the end of the chapter, continues developing the theme of how ‘much more’ Christ did for us (see verses 15, and 17). But to get there, we have to wade through the difficult and unpopular doctrine of original sin. Today’s message will look at what the Bible teaches about this, and try to settle the question.…

In this passage, there are two ‘much mores’ and a ‘not only this.’ If God loves us so much that He sent His Son for us, how much more can we celebrate what He does for us?Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

The word ‘Peace’ (v.1) gives way to ‘Celebration’ (vv. 2-3), and celebration is not limited to just the good times. The hard times lead us to our third word: Hope. And Hope does not disappoint.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

It is a terrible mistake to be at war with the King of the Universe; and a wonderful thing that Jesus gives us peace.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Thomas was a little late to the party, but he was welcome when he finally joined in.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

We’re going to look at Peter’s boast, and then at Peter’s failure, and then at Peter’s failure. And then we’ll fast forward to Pentecost, and ask, “What happened to Peter?” And we’ll discuss what the Holy Spirit does for a person.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

Abraham was as good as dead (15:19), Sarah’s womb was dead (15:19), but our faith is in the One who raised Jesus from the dead (15:24). Faith works because our faith is in the One greater than death.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

We can debate about the chicken or the egg, but it is clear that faith came before works. Abraham is the father of the Jewish nation, but he is also the father of the faithful.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

With the example of Abraham, the focus was on faith. With David, it is forgiveness.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

There's nothing wrong with good works, except they look kind of shabby compared to perfection. Faith, on the other hand, declares us righteous.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

There is no hierarchy in salvation, because we’re all saved the same way. Therefore, there is no room for boasting between believers.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

If God is going to judge us for unrighteousness, He must be righteous Himself. Today’s passage says He is just that.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

First, Romans demonstrated how lost in sin we are; now it shows that in Christ, God is satisfied with us. This is truly good news.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

It is not by the deeds we do, but by the works Jesus has done that we can be declared righteous; and this is available to us by faith.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship

People like to say that We’re all God’s children; that being human unites us as His children. But it’s more like the opposite. We’re all alienated from God; being sinful unites us as not His children. The good news is that since we share the sentence sin brings, we can also share the salvation Jesus brings.…

This book so far can leave us feeling pretty defeated. The Gentiles are sinful, the Jews are sinful. If the people called God’s people are just as lost as the people who are not called God’s people, then what’s the point? Maybe it’s not us who have failed, but God Himself! That is the voice of frustration, not of truth. God has not failed His peopl…

Most of us have given up on New Year's resolutions, because we’ve been there, done that, and they don’t work. But Jesus makes us new creatures, we can change because we are changed. Therefore, we need to live changed.Oleh Trinity Bible Fellowship
