Sermons on Equal Under The Law:

Hope For The Future

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 2, 2017

The doctrine of solidarity says that all humanity is under the leadership of two men: Adam and Christ. Connection with Adam leads to death. Connection with Christ leads to life.

The reading from Romans 5:12-19 reinforces the idea that those who trust Christ have hope for the future. Let me explain. Adam’s sin led to condemnation of the entire human race because his sinful nature was passed on to all of his descendants. Christ overcame that condemnation. As a result, ...read more

"The Legalist Only Has Law" Series

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jan 4, 2010

Jesus has no cheerful words for the legalist. Is your faith in your strength? Is your trust in your keeping of the law; the rules? Go and do it. That’s all He can say to you.(Lk 10:37)

Dear God, Please Kick Me...

Contributed by Rick Young on Aug 4, 2004

Why do we sometimes wait for God to "punish" us if we mess up as Christians? We are not under the law any longer, but under grace. And sometimes it’s hard to remember that.

“For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin ...read more
