Click HERE INTRODUCTION: In this last chapter of Romans, Paul says his farewells, gives various greetings, and does so in a way as to teach us many invaluable things. Some might wonder what kind of message we might get out of a passage in which Paul basically says hi to everyone the Roman church

    ROMANS LXII: THE MINISTRY OF FUNDRAISING Romans 15:22-33 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. July 25, 2010 Watch Listen PDF Viewing on a mobile device? Click HERE INTRODUCTION: We have noted before that the book of Romans is a fundraising letter. The fact that it is so strikingly different from modern Christian fundraising letters tells us all we need to know about the attitude of the modern church to money . . . and to the gospel

    Sermon: The Priestly Work of Evangelism

    ROMANS LXI: THE PRIESTLY WORK OF EVANGELISM Romans 15:13-21 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. July 18, 2010 Watch Listen PDF Viewing on a mobile device? Click HERE INTRODUCTION: We have seen that we should not have lethargic or anemic views of evangelism. God is in the processing of saving the world, and that has ramifications for the town in which we live. But we must also be careful to not have irreligious views of evangelism. Evangelism is

    Sermon: In That Day

    ROMANS LX: ON THAT DAY… Romans 15:8-12 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. July 11, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: Our views of evangelism are far too tiny, too anemic, and too weak. Evangelism is not a matter of recruiting enough people so that your church can pay its bills. Evangelism is not a matter of getting market share. Evangelism is not a matter of the Israelite army settling for a portion of Canaan. Evangelism is about the

    Sermon: True Likemindedness

    Romans LIX: True Likemindedness Romans 15:1-7 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. July 4, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: The apostle Paul has been piling one argument on top of another in his attempt to urge these Christians to get along with each other. He has appealed to the judgment seat of Christ, the sacrifice of Christ bestowed on the one you are at odds with, and the folly of slandering the very thing that you think is

    Sermon: Righteousness, Peace and Joy

    Romans LVIII: Righteousness, Peace and Joy Romans 14:16-23 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. June 27, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: The apostle spends quite a bit of time and energy on this question, and this is why we are doing the same thing. What will distract us from the those things on which God places great value? It will be those things on which we try to place high value, and all on our own authority or

June 20, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: We are continuing on the same theme so that we might remember the importance of loving our brothers and sisters in the faith, but doing so in a very spacious context. Learning the extent of that context will be what enables us to live rightly with one another in close quarters

  • Sermon: Love is Not Relativism (Romans 14: 1-4)

    Sermon: Love is Not Relativism (Romans 14: 1-4)

    ROMANS LV: LOVE IS NOT RELATIVISM Romans 14:1-4 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. May 30, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: We are the beta test for the new humanity, but this might require some explanation. Jesus Christ is the perfect man, but we are not yet grown up into that perfect man (Eph. 4: 13). So, as far as we go, we are the working prototype of what God is up to. There are some bugs to work out

    Sermon: Time for the World to Get Up

    ROMANS LIV: TIME FOR THE WORLD TO GET UP Romans 13:11-14 Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. May 9, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: The Incarnation of the Word, and the resurrection of that Word from the dead, has entirely remade the world. We fail to recognize this because we don’t understand history—and the way the world actually was before Christ came into it. But humanity lived through a long night indeed, and when Christ came, the sun rose. Men still

May 2, 2010 Watch (45:53)  Listen (45:53) PDF (because this video is > 30 min, no mobile version is currently available) INTRODUCTION: A very popular mistake among Christians is that of contrasting love and the law, as though we had to pick and choose. Will we live according to love, or according to the law? But if we must love, isn’t that a law, a great commandment?

  • Sermon: Governmental Tax Cheats

    Sermon: Governmental Tax Cheats

    GOVERNMENTAL TAX CHEATS (Romans 13:6-7) Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. April 25, 2010 Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: When considering the subject of our duty to pay taxes, the Bible seems plain enough. But a lot rides on where you place the emphasis—where do the italics go? Governments exist by covenant, and governments like ours explicitly claim to exist by covenant. The word federal comes from the Latin word foedus, which means covenant. But covenants have terms and stipulations. They have conditions,

    Sermon: An Armed Deacon of God (Romans 13:4-5)

    AN ARMED DEACON OF GOD (Romans 13:4-5) Douglas Wilson Christ Church – Moscow, ID A.D. April 18, 2010 Watch Listen PDF INTRODUCTION: We are taking care to work through this passage of Scripture deliberately and slowly, and there are at least two reasons for this. First, the issues involved are complex and important, and are more complex and important in our day than they usually are. Second, the misunderstandings that surround this portion of Scripture are legion. We have to be very careful
