As you know, many religions around the world have traditions and rituals. According to the apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, these traditions have a tendency to lure people into a false sense of security concerning their salvation. It’s the ages old debate about whether we are saved by works, or simply by faith. Paul explains here, once and for all, that we are saved by grace, not by works.

In his letter to the Romans, Paul was adamant about our position in Christ. We are saved by grace and grace alone. He declared that our status here on earth - social or otherwise - has absolutely no bearing on our position in heaven. This was a hard lesson for the Jews to grasp, as they were taught to regard their status as higher than the lowly Gentiles around them.

We have a vitally important message to share with you today concerning, among other things, the current direction of the Christian church in America. It’s not a particularly pretty picture, either. Government officials are openly hostile to Christianity. Pastors are being harassed for preaching biblical truth. Many pastors have succumbed to the pressure and are now teaching a “woke” version of the bible. What can we do? What should we do?

We pick up today in Romans chapter two, where Paul addresses the attitudes of some of the Jews, who felt a sense of superiority over others. As we’ll see today, this kind of attitude is very common today as well, although it has no place in the life of a believer.

 We can probably all think of  someone who claims to be a believer, but their life resembles the unbelieving world, and they bear no fruit.  In fact, can we each examine our own life and consider that we may be guilty of the same thing? What are we to make of this?   Here’s pastor Al now to encourage us to be fruit inspectors of our own lives, in a message titled “Hypocrisy Revealed”.

On today’s broadcast, we’ll see what the apostle Paul has to say on the matter of hypocrisy. Think hypocrisy is no big deal, because everyone does it? Think again! We’ll be looking at the second chapter of Romans today and we encourage you to follow along with us.

Pastor Al is in the midst of a study of Romans and we’ll join him today in chapter one. One of the big issues of our day centers around the practice of homosexuality. Many people, including some Christians, accept it as a normal lifestyle and perfectly acceptable. But what we should be concerned with is what the Bible has to say on the subject.

Our study today is framed around Romans, chapter one, verses sixteen through thirty-three. Pastor Al is going to ask each one of us to consider and important point today - the gospel message of salvation through faith is something we should never be ashamed of.

We continue today with our examination of Romans, where we’ve been discovering timeless lessons on how to effectively live out the Christian faith. The apostle Paul made no secret of the fact that the Christians in Rome held a special place in his heart. Though surrounded by the snares of the world, they remained a solid, God-believing church - not an easy task at all. Can the same be said for the Christian church in 2023?

There’s a popular saying among pastors concerning sermons. It goes something like this. “Tell them what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, and finally, tell them what you told them.” The apostle Paul employs this method in his writing of Romans. Having already introduced himself, he will now give a basic introduction explaining what’s ahead of us in the coming chapters of this fascinating book.

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
