Trinity for Norman

For the Sake of My Brothers (Romans 9:1-5)

Main Point: Chapter 9 begins a new section in Romans. Paul has articulated the gospel of the gracious accounting to sinners of a status of righteousness from God received through faith in Jesus Christ (Chp 1-8).  This gospel which was rejected by his brothers directs Paul’s lament, will not be effectual unless there has been a substitution of a righteous mediator for the sake of his brothers, and informs our callings for the sake of our brothers.

1. Gospel of Christ Rejected by the brothers
2. Gospel Reception inseparable from the Work of the Mediator-Christ
3. Gospel Calling of Love not for the sake of the brothers, but for the
   Mediator-Christ

Foundations: On God the Holy Trinity, Part 2

Second Chapter of the Westminster Confession of Faith.

"Who is God?"

The Trickle to the Mighty River of Healing (Ezekiel 47:1-12)

Main Point: The Resurrection of Jesus would be the key to unlocking the meaning of Ezekiel’s visions of renewal and healing for God’s people.

1. It would begin with a trickle out of Jerusalem
2. It would expand to a mighty rushing river
3. It would culminate the changing of the unchangeable

   Expectations (Zech 9:9)

Foundations: On the Holy Scripture, Part 2

More Than Conquerors (Romans 8:35-39)

Main Point: Romans 8:35-39, declares that the simple might regard those who love God as appearing to be foolish, tragic, helpless creatures-“sheep to be slaughtered,” but the wise will see that those who love God are really “more than conquerors.”

1. The Superficial Appearance -sheep to be slaughtered
2. The Reality- more than conquerors
3. The Application: so What?

Foundations: On the Holy Scripture, Part 1
