Today's gospel instalment: 09/29/24 Sermon Title: Christ the end of the Law 1. Many claim to believe the name of the sermon title, but who do not know what it means. 2. So, they will say, yes Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness, but we still have to be under the Law for honoring God etc. And they will have a few verses and some rationalization to try and bring Moses back in that regard. 3.But that is not understanding the matter correctly in the gospel sense. 4. By God's grace we must understand the function of the Law, that is, why was the Law given. 5. And God gave many reasons to that question of the function/purpose of the Law. 6. But He said, the Law was the ministry of death and condemnation and Christ brought an end to it for the elect. 7. The redeemed cannot be under two ministries, One of death and the other of life. That is a denial of God's testimony. We will speak to this and more and it is free!

Today's gospel installment: 06-01-2025 Today's Gospel Installment: 06/01/2025 Sermon Title (s): 1. The Korah Rebellion, 2. He stood between the dead and the living. Text: Numbers 16 1. We get to the story of Israel sometime after their exodus and wandering in the wilderness of the desert. 2. And the LORD sought to preach another sermon of our need of redemption through the rebellion of Korah. 3. Israel was always a rebellious people despite experiencing the presence of God in their midst. 4. But the Lord would with the Korah rebellion preach many wonderful gospel truths of the spiritual condition of men and women that to say we are nature rebels without a cause and naturally in trouble. 5. And that rebellion brings about God's wrath and judgment. 6. And God's wrath demands propitiation if the plague must be removed. 7. This is wonderful message and I pray the LORD will give you spiritual ears to hear and understand it. AND IT IS FREE!…
Today's Gospel installment: 05/25/2025 Title: How much more Text: Luke 12 vs 22-34 1. The Lord was a gospel preacher and one has to use a gospel mind to properly read His words. 2. In this section of Luke he spoke to the matter of what is important. 3. And in the life of the world, riches is what is on people's hearts and minds and unfortunately it does not end there. 4. Many falsely or mistakenly associate earthly riches with Divine favor and salvation. 5. And the Lord Jesus came to straighten things out and said, you have your priorities ALL WRONG. 6. First, you have no power to cause anything. Secondly, God knows exactly all that you need and will see to it, so prioritize God because the very things that you are anxious about cannot save you and guess what, that IS WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS CHASING AFTER? 7. Will expand on this and other related matters and IT IS FREE!…
Today's gospel installment: 05-04-2025 Message Title: The Widow's Offering 1. We come to yet another very popular story about giving. 2. And it has unfortunately been used by many to extort money from poor people. 3. But what was this story about? Was it about our giving to God, the nature or spirit of our giving or what is it about something else? 4. Why did Jesus commend the poor widow for her giving? 5. Why did Jesus say, she had given more than all? 6. These stories cannot understood apart from the testimony of the gospel. 7. And that means without a gospel centered, Christ centered hermeneutic there is no way to arrive at the truth that God intended by them. THIS is a wonderful gospel testimony and it is free!…
Today's Gospel installment: 04-27-2025 Message Title: 1. Zacchaeus come down, 2. Of Short Stature Text: Luke 19 vs 1-10 1. We go into the very famous story of Zacchaeus which also has had many traditions of salvation built around it. 2. IT is a story like the Good Samaritan than many think they know about, but don't know about. They don't know what the Good Samaritan was preaching about, as popular as it is. 3. With Zacchaeus there are a lot of connections that need to be made with Lord's teaching in the previous chapter of Luke 18. 4. Everything said, what are the qualifications of those that inherit the kingdom? 5. What are the issues that face one born of a woman as God sees them? 6. What is God's proposed solution to dealing with you as a sinner? ALL THESE and more are answered in the story of Zaccheus. 7. THIS IS A MOST WONDERFUL MESSAGE, but you must have the DISCIPLINE to follow the whole message to get the gospel pieces. 8. Also, with every message ASK THE LORD TO GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING and INTEREST in the things that relate to CHRIST JESUS. IT IS FREE!…
Text: Leviticus 21 & 22 Message Title(s): 1. The Law and Christ, 2. Acceptable offerings 1. To understand the Law we must understand the gospel. 2. The gospel is not Law and the Law is not the gospel. 3. The Law had its function and testimony with respect to the sinner. And it was to bring Woe and Hopelessness. 4. But the Law also had a different relationship to the Lord Jesus, since He was God and sinless man. 5. First, the Law testified of Him in all its writings. 6. But it also had a function to test His fitness for His work. 7. This is a long message with a lot of teaching and glorious and it ends in the RESURRECTION OF THE LORD. AND IT IS FREE!…
Today's Gospel installment: 04/13/2025 Sermon Title(s): 1.The death of Saul, 2..The end of the Law Text: 1Sam 31 1..We will explore the testimony of Saul to see what he represented in the gospel testimony. 2.God cannot devote coverage of a person's life and record it in the Bible just so that we can come and do a character assassination of that person in moralistic teaching.. 3..If David was an eminent type of Christ, then Saul was an eminent type of the Law.. The Law is a companion to the telling and revelation of Christ, for it testified of Him.. 4..But Saul must die, his reign must end, but as a gospel testimony.. 5..David and Saul cannot both be on the throne, one has to give way to the other.. The superior one will remain.. 6..But we must show how Saul was a picture of the Law and everything that God was teaching through him.. And this we will do, if you would listen to the message. 7..AND IT IS FREE!…
Today's gospel installment: 04/06/2025 Sermon Title(s): Sermon Title: 1. Ziklag burned down, 2. The brook Beshor,3. Servant of an Amalekite, 4. David's spoil, 5. They shall share alike. 6. 3 days ago I felt sick. Text: 1 Samuel 30. 1. What is your gospel? 2. Is it the same as what God revealed in the story of David and the capture and recovery of his wives? 3. Is your gospel conditioned on you and what you have done to be saved or is it of God's grace alone? 4. What does God say? This is a MUST HEAR MESSAGE. Yes, it is long, but heaven will have a whole lotta longer messages. And it is FREE!…
Today's gospel instalment: 03/30/2025 Title: 1. The Intercession of Abigail, 2. Abigail met David's requirements Text: 1 Sam 25 1. The story of David, Nabal and Abigail is a gospel testimony. 2. And it is a continuing story of Christ through these characters. 3. All of them carried gospel themes in their characters that must be understood, otherwise we will only be left with character assasinations and moralisms. 4. We explore the whole chapter and show what each stood for in the testimony of the gospel. 5. And Abigail is much more than what many think they understood about her. And this is because they never used a gospel centered, Christ centered hermeneutic to define the characters. 6. And a gospel centered hermeneutic is the ONLY PROFITABLE way to read the scriptures because they testify of Christ and make one wise according to salvation. 7. If you are reading this on X (formerly Twitter) and want to hear more messages visit www.sermonaudio.com and search for Berean Sovereign grace. This is free!…
Today's Gospel installment 03/23/2025 Sermon Title: 1. Depart from me Lord Text: Luke 5 vs 1 to 11 1..The Lord Jesus was preaching in Galilee by the sea shore. 2..He asked to use Simon's boat so that He could preach the Word of God to the multitude. 3..Afterwards, he commanded Simon to cast his net into the deep for which he had a great and miraculous catch having toiled all night to no avail. 4..And the catch was so great that they had to offload some of the fish to the second boat and both were filled. 5..And it was at this that Simon said to Jesus, "depart from me Lord, for I am a sinful man." 6..And it is in this context that the Lord introduced Himself to Simon and his fishing brethren and also gave a glimpse of the gospel message. 7..The fishing story is not about fishing.. It is a salvation story... 8..So many nuggets to glean and they are free. A BEREAN Gospel message!…
Today's gospel installment: 03/16/2025 Sermon Title: The Rock of Escape Text: 1 Samuel 23 1. We continue to explore the gospel testimony in the life of David and King Saul. 2. David seems to ever be in trouble from the king. The king wants him dead at all cost. And there are gospel themes and dimensions to this seeming endless hatred and determination. 3. But the matters cannot be understood apart from casting them in the mold of Christ Jesus. In other words, Christ Jesus is He who gives understanding of what God was preaching in these stories. 4. Previously, in 1Sam 22 David and his people had sought refuge at the Cave of Adullam, a matter that we explored in the previous message, but they had to leave again. 5. God gave David victory over the Philistines and delivered the people of Keilah, a territory of Judah. 6. But the Keilites and the Ziphites sold out David to Saul. David was being betrayed left, right and center in keeping with the testimony of the Lord Jesus. 7. But in Saul's pursuit, David and his men found themselves surrounded by the men of Saul in the desert of Maon. 8. And it is here that God worked a way of escape for David and his men and the place was called Sela Hammalekoth, the rock of escape. 9. We develop the story and connect the gospel points. AND IT IS FREE!…
1..Today's Gospel installment : 03/09/2025 Sermon Title: In the Cave with the king Text: 1 Sam 22 1. We continue with the discovery of the testimony of Christ, the redemptive story through the life of David and Saul. 2..In our story we will find David at the Cave of Adullam having run away from the Philistines because of Achish, the king of the Philistines who despised him and said this mad man couldn't come into his house . 3..David had feigned madness and that as a testimony of the foolishness of the cross/of Christ. 4..Now he sought refuge at the cave, he and his people.. And this is opens for us a tonne of gospel nuggets to explore. 5.. But as he is at the cave, Saul was enraged and frustrated at what he deemed as treachery by David, Jonathan and his own people. 6.In anger, Saul went to the City of Priests, Nob, and commanded that all the priests be killed. 7.And we will park here again to explore a lot of gospel testimony.. 8. We will end with David's words to Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech the high priest who had escaped the slaughter of the priests and joined David.. Another gospel testimony to explore. It is a BEREAN GOSPEL, wonderful AND FREE!…
Today's Gospel installment:02-23-2025 Message Title: 1. Outside the camp Text: Leviticus 24 vs 10-16 1. The story of the Lord Jesus is written everywhere, both in general and special revelation. 2. God wrote the story of the Lord Jesus in many types and shadows. 3. And many of the types do not seem to speak of Him, but they do. The problem is that people do not see the Lord Jesus Christ because they have a cleaned up image of Him, that is, an image of Christ that has no OFFENSE. 4. In this story we are told about a certain son of an Egyptian, but whose mother was an Israelite. 5. This son blasphemed and cursed God and got in serious trouble. 6. God prescribed to Israel through Moses, what was to be done to such. 7. And we picked up the story to show that this was a gospel testimony. 8. If it is not about Christ then it is NOT WORTH Preaching. 9. It is a Berean gospel and IT IS FREE!…
Gospel instalment: 02/16/2025 Text: 1 Sam 21 Message Title(s): 1. Remove this mad man, 2. The foolishness of Christ 1. David has met with Ahimelech, the high priest and asked for bread for his hungry men. 2. Ahimelech gives the bread to David having been satisfied with his testimony of the ceremonial cleanliness of his men. 3. David then asks for a sword and Ahimelech gave him the sword of Goliath. 4. David escapes to Gath, Philistines territory where Achish was the king. 5. David was afraid when he was recognized by the servants of the king and so he feigned madness. 6. The king sees David and he is not impressed. 7. And we explore all these details to glean wonderful gospel testimony. A Berean gospel message and it is FREE!…
Today's Gospel installment: 02/09/2025 Sermon Title: 1..The King's Business Text: 1 Samuel 22 1..David visits Nob, the City of the Priests to get bread for himself and his hungry men. 2..He meets with Ahimelech, the high Priest who enquires about their holiness. 3..David satisfies the Priestjood of his cleanliness and those of his men.. 4..He got the bread, 5 loaves and brought them to his hungry men.. 5..We explore the gospel testimony in all these details.. 6..It is a a glorious gospel testimony.…
Today's Gospel instalment : 01/19/2025 Sermon Title: Absent from the king's table Text: 1 Samul 20 1. The running battles between David and Saul continued, but for a gospel testimony. 2. And Jonathan, the son of Saul the king of Israel also comes into the mix of the gospel testimony. 3. Many for a lack of a gospel hermeneutic will seek to find if Saul and Jonathan were saved and in the process lose sight of what God was preaching. 4. Saul, Jonathan and David were all gospel testimonies that wore different hats of the gospel. 5. Since there is no single person who could fulfill all the gospel types, in the OT the testimonies were spread out among different people. And so you will see Saul carrying more than one type as God the Father and of the Law. 6. And we shall see this layering too with Jonathan and his relationship with David, which the untaught have horribly misconstrued to be a gay relationship with David. 7. But I did not learn Christ that way, Jonathan and David represent a developing gospel testimony that will continue to unfold in their story. 8. So, we will explore the details. And typology is very fluid, but it must be GROUNDED IN NEW TESTAMENT GOSPEL TESTIMONY. IT MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH TRUTH AND REASON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. And this is FREE!…
Today's Gospel installment:01-12—2025 Message Title: Let us cross over Text: Luke 8 vs 22-25 1..This a familiar story of the Lord's power over the natural creation. 2..And this records one of the many miracles the Lord used to authentic both His person and message. 3..But a gospel centered hermeneutic will unearth more gospel nuggets.. 4..And in this story we delve deep into gospel issues that are represented.. By the way typology does not end in the Old Testament.. 5..And I pray the Lord will give you the hearer the understanding.. And it is FREE!…
Sermon Title(s): 1. Two gospels 2. The Mariner's gospel, 3. Jonah's Gospel Text: Jonah 1 1. This message was preached at New Christian life in Lebanon Tennessee. 2. The gospel arguments remain consistent in every book and story of the bible. 3. The bible is not about the characters that were recorded in it. Many stumble at the gospel because they tend to be fixated with the characters and miss the point. 4. Thus, Jonah is not about how we should not disobey God by going to our own version of Tarshish. 5. This is in being UNSKILLED in the word of God. The story is not about Jonah even. It is a testimony of the Lord Jesus. 6. Tarshish was not a detour to Nineveh. IT was the way God wanted Jonah to go to Nineveh for the sake of developing the testimony of Christ. 7. There are two "gospels" that are presented in this wonderful story. One according to the Mariners and the other according to Jonah. And you must listen to hear what those are. 8. Also, there is very high sovereignty presented in this message, and everything considered, THIS IS A VERY TOP GOSPEL MESSAGE. And IT IS FREE…
Messaged Preached at a REHABILATATION CENTER in Lebanon, Tennessee. Date: 12-15-2024 Text: Mark 5 vs 1-34 Message Title: IF ONLY 1. Chapter 5 of Mark has some most wonderful gospel nuggets that are contained in the stories. 2. It presents the human spiritual condition in the picture of the Demoniac, then Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood. 3. The stories are connected as they speak differently but to the same issue of what has befallen men and women. 4. But in all these the chapter presents and provides the solution to the predicament. And that solution comes in the person and power of the Lord Jesus Christ. 5. This is a short message in comparison to many of our messages. Nevertheless, it is choke full of wonderful gospel nuggets. And they ARE FREE!…
Sermon Title(s): 1. Mold in the house, 2. Purification of a diseased house 1. The Old Testament is replete with wonderful gospel testimonies. 2. In Leviticus 14, the LORD GOD gave instruction and taught on how a house that had been plagued by mold would be made habitable-made clean. 3. And this of course not to teach about handling Covid type pandemics, but to preach the matter of sin and its purification. 4. And when you pay attention to the text, you will see most of the doctrines of salvation presented. 5. The message presents the problem-a molded house and the solution to remedy it. 6. And God's solution always had the mediation of the Priest and the shedding of blood and that tells you this is all about the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's ultimate Priest in the purification of the sinner. 7. Too many wonderful gospel nuggets that you would not want to miss and THEY ARE FREE!…
Message Title (s): 1. A partial hardening, 2. God's gifts and calling irrevocable. 1. Paul continued to explain the mystery behind Israel's unbelief. 2. He said it is more than what meets the naked eye. God is working something, thus their unbelief is God driven, but with a purpose. 3. The purpose is bring in all the gentiles and then the elect from among national ethnic Israel. He says, do not be ignorant of this mystery lest you get conceited. 4. And I surmise that the reasoning behind this staggard approach is so that the Jew and Gentile elect would only boast in the cross of Christ. 5. But there is more to all these details. 1. Romans 11:25 (NKJV), For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 2. Romans 11:28-30 (NKJV) 28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,…
Today's gospel installment: 11/9/24 Text: 2SAMUEL 24 Title: And the plague stopped 1..God is always preaching Christ Jesus. 2.. He moved David to commit a sin, by numbering Israel.. 3..Now that God many do not know about ... 4..But that is the GOD of the bible.. 5..But He made David to sin and caused many people to be killed by the plague.. 6..A plague of death that God brought through His angel. 7..Now, God must teach what must be done to make atonement.. 8..So, He moved David to begin the work of atonement... 9..And where and when God's requirements are met, the result ALWAYS IS THE REMOVAL OF WRATH, PROPITIATION AND JUSTIFICATION... 10..And this all looking to Christ Jesus. A Berean Gospel message..…
Message Title(s): 1. Why was Sodom destroyed? 2. Remember Lot's wife 3. A city called Zoar God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with brimstone and fire. But in the gospel context, why was it destroyed? Many will say, because of their sin? But that is not the whole story, because if that were the case, what about your sin? Are we better than they? If we believe the gospel, our answer cannot stop at, "because of their sin". Listen to this message for gospel nuggets.…
Today's Gospel installment 10/27/24 Text: Romans 11 vs 9-24 Title: Don't be ignorant of God's MYSTERY. 1..Paul had labored from Romans 9 to explain what was happening with the apparent prevailing unbelief in Israel. 2..In Romans 9 he explained that it was because of election, that is, not all who descended FROM Abraham were necessarily God's chosen people. 3..He argued that this was always God's intention according to His PREDESTINED sovereign will in both election and reprobation(POWER AND FREEDOM of the POTTER) .. 4..And in Romans 10, he had shown that Israel despite its zeal had not submitted to God's righteousness.. 5..And the reason being that they WERE IGNORANT of GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.. 6.So, they had pursued righteousness as if it was of works and had stumbled at the STUMBLING STONE, the Lord Jesus. 7..And in Romans 11, Paul is going to continue with the arguments, to show that what was happening in Israel was MULTILAYERED. 8..And this multilayeredness of the DIVINE PURPOSE NEEDS TO BE KNOWN(UNPACKED) AND UNDERSTOOD because it is part of God's design.. 9.And Paul is going to take a minute to rebuke Gentile believers for their apparent haughtiness towards Israel and reminded them how God grafted them in as the wild olives.. 10..Lots of weaving of arguments and it is a BEREAN GOSPEL MESSAGE. SO, IT IS SOVEREIGNTY HEAVY AND IS FREE!…
Sermon Title(s): 1. Has God rejected His people? 2. Even so then. 3. Remnant Business, 4. Election according to grace Text: Romans 10 vs 1-10 1. Paul continued to labor the matter of the why of Israel's rejection of the gospel. 2. He asked if God's purpose had failed, that is, if God had cast away His people? 3. And he answered and said no, God cannot fail. But that was not saying, all ethnic Israel belonged to God. 4. Rather Paul argued that there was more happening than met the eye. There was election in the background, even among the people of Israel. 5. And Paul himself was an Israelite, but who had been saved, showing that God had not forsaken His people. 6. But His people are those who were chosen by Him according to grace. 7. There was a remnant in Israel according to grace as there was a remnant in the time of Elijah the prophet and in every generation. 8. And to in keeping with God's sovereignty and freedom as the potter over the clay. And this is free!…
1. Romans 10:14-21 (NKJV): Emphasizes the necessity of a preacher for people to hear and believe in Christ. 2. Highlights the importance of faith, which comes from hearing the word of God. But there is more qualification needed to remain truthful about the role of faith. 3. Paul Discusses Israel's rejection of the gospel despite being exposed to it. 4. Righteousness of the Law vs. Righteousness of Faith: The righteousness of the Law is based on human works and perfection, which is impossible for sinners. 5. The righteousness of faith is given freely through Christ's obedience, not by human efforts. Salvation by grace cannot be mixed with works of the Law. 6. Paul's Argument on Salvation: Salvation is not attained by personal efforts or obedience to the Law but by God's grace through Christ and faith not as causing salvation, but as evidence of possession. 7. Faith is not something individuals can generate on their own; it is a gift from God, facilitated by hearing the gospel. 8. Obedience and Rejection of the Gospel: Not all obeyed the gospel, as Isaiah prophesied. Israel's disobedience and reliance on their own righteousness caused them to stumble. 9. Gentiles who were not seeking God found Him, while Israel, who pursued the Law, failed to achieve righteousness. 10. The Role of Preachers: Preachers are essential for spreading the gospel, but preaching itself does not cause salvation; only God can save. Christ was the first preacher, sent by God to declare the message of salvation. 11. Grace vs. Law: The gospel is a message of grace, not works. Attempting to earn salvation by works leads to failure. AND IT IS FREE!…
Gospel instalment: 10-05-2024 Sermon Title: The Word of faith Text: Romans 10: 5-16 Sermon is an exposition on Romans 10:5-16 that contrasts the "righteousness of the law" with the "righteousness of faith." Key themes include: Righteousness by the Law: Citing Moses (Leviticus 18:5), Paul explains that adherence to the law requires perfect obedience, which is unattainable by human effort. This leads to condemnation, as seen in Deuteronomy 27:26—any failure under the law brings a curse. Righteousness of Faith: The "righteousness of faith," as preached by Paul, is not earned by human effort but is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 outlines that confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart that Jesus is Lord brings salvation. This belief is based on Christ's completed work—His death and resurrection—without the sinner needing to fulfill the law by themselves. Imputed Righteousness: Imputed righteousness is what agrees with God's righteousness and is what is meant by the righteousness of faith—and it is a concept where Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, not through their works but by grace. Salvation comes through the sufficiency of Christ's obedience, not human merit. Paul's Argument: Paul continued his lamentation over the Jews' unbelief. They pursued righteousness through the law, failing to see that righteousness comes through faith in Christ. Paul's sorrow stems from their ignorance of God's true righteousness, which was foretold by the Law and the Prophets. Preaching and Faith: The necessity of preaching the gospel is highlighted, And this is FREE!…
Today's gospel instalment: 09/29/24 Sermon Title: Christ the end of the Law 1. Many claim to believe the name of the sermon title, but who do not know what it means. 2. So, they will say, yes Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness, but we still have to be under the Law for honoring God etc. And they will have a few verses and some rationalization to try and bring Moses back in that regard. 3.But that is not understanding the matter correctly in the gospel sense. 4. By God's grace we must understand the function of the Law, that is, why was the Law given. 5. And God gave many reasons to that question of the function/purpose of the Law. 6. But He said, the Law was the ministry of death and condemnation and Christ brought an end to it for the elect. 7. The redeemed cannot be under two ministries, One of death and the other of life. That is a denial of God's testimony. We will speak to this and more and it is free!…
Today's Gospel installment 09-22-2024 Text: Romans 10 vs 1-5 Sermon Titles: 1..Zeal without knowledge, 2..Ignorant of God's righteousness, 3..Establishing own righteousness, 4..Not submitted to God's righteousness.. 1..Titles are self explanatory and we will delve into each heading to expound it.. 2..But the point being made is very clear, people are in unbelief who are ignorant of God's righteousness.. 3..It does not matter what they bring for God, God has no regard for it... 4..Zeal for God has to be measured according to the truth of righteousness.. 5..Essentially, what are people saying is their righteousness? 6..This is not a tangential matter, but the real matter of the gospel.. A matter tied to Christ's accomplishments on the cross.. 7..You can't talk of God's righteousness and then condition salvation on moralism... 8..The Jews that Paul was weeping for were as moral as one could be, but that is the way of death... God will not negotiate down His righteousness to honor your false zeal... This is free!…
Today's gospel instalment: 09/08/2024 Text: Romans 9 vs 23-33 Titles (s): 1. The remnant will be saved, 2. A short work upon the earth, 3. The righteousness of faith, 4. Pursuing the law of righteousness. 1. God is in the remnant business, thus He never determined to save all without exception. 2. And He saved them by a work that He did-what He termed, a SHORT WORK to establish righteousness for the remnant. 3. And the remnant possess this righteousness of faith. And it is not a righteousness because of faith, but a righteousness of faith, which means by Christ alone. 4. But there are some who have pursued this righteousness as if it is of works and to this they were appointed-to stumble at the Rock of Offense. 5. This and more-a Berean gospel message.…
