A House Call for a Sin-Sick Church - Revelation 3:14-22 - Voddie Baucham

The charge against the church at Laodicea was that they were lukewarm. Dr. Baucham provides the historical context necessary for understanding what that statement means. He then makes the case that of all the letters to the seven churches, this one has the most direct relevance to the church in America today.

The God Who Will Save His People - Romans 11:25-32 - Voddie Baucham

Moving towards a doxology at the end of Romans 11, Paul finally answers the question about what God is going to do with Ethnic Israel. The verses covered in this passage are some of the most contentious in all of Romans. In this sermon, Pastor Voddie Baucham discusses eschatology as it relates to ethnic Jews.

The Mystery of Israel’s Salvation

25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

“The Deliverer will come from Zion,

he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;

27 “and this will be my covenant with them

when I take away their sins.”

28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

Zeal without Knowledge - Romans 10:1-4 - Voddie Baucham

In Romans 10, Paul expressed his desire to see his kinsman saved, stating that they had an incredible zeal for God, but not the knowledge of true righteousness. Many of the people Paul was talking about would have been Pastors and Deacons in our churches because of their outward behavior, but God looks on the heart. What can we learn from this passage? Join Pastor Baucham as he continues in this dynamic series in Romans.


Romans 10:1-4
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

No Room for Personal Vengeance - Romans 12:19-21 - Voddie Baucham

Vengeance! Retribution! A desire to repay those who do wrong to us is part of our fallen state. But Paul commands us not to avenge ourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God. Our job is to overcome evil with good.

19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

What is the Gospel? - Romans 9:30-33 - Voddie Baucham

Most people in churches today have a false understanding of the Gospel. We associate it with things that are really the law. In this Sermon, Dr. Baucham discusses what the Gospel is "not" and what the Gospel "is".


Israel’s Unbelief

30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written,

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;

and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Who Do You Think You Are? - Romans 9:19-29 - Voddie Baucham

While teaching on God's sovereignty, Paul answered question after question about election. But at this point, he moves past the heart of the "question" to the heart of the "questioner". While people may ask if God is unjust because He has mercy on whom he will, we must respond by saying "Who are you, oh man, to question God?"


19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25 As indeed he says in Hosea,

“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”

26 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”

27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” 29 And as Isaiah predicted,

“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah.”

The Word of God has not Failed - Romans 9:6-13 - Voddie Baucham

After mourning for his Jewish kinsmen who are not saved, Paul reminds his readers that God's Word has not failed and that God can not be charged with not keeping His promises. This sermon is a look at who is the true Israel and how God is faithful to His children.

6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

The Work of the Spirit: Adoption - Romans 8:12-17 - Voddie Baucham

Last week we looked at the Person of the Holy Spirit. This week we look at the critical work of the Holy Spirit in Sanctifying us by Adoption. It is our adoption that is the critical link in us becoming obedient sons.

Heirs with Christ

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
