[Romans 3:9-20] 2026.07.26 The sinner in the Mirror

The sinner in the Mirror

Big Idea: The law of God exposes our true, utterly sinful selves — all alike under sin's power, and not even one of us righteous — so that every mouth is stopped before the judgement of God.

1.      No one righteous, not even one (vv.9–12).

2.      The law exposes our sinful personhood — throat, tongue, feet and eyes (vv.13–18).

3.      Every mouth is silent before the God who speaks (vv.19–20).

[Romans 2.17_3.8] 2026.07.19 The Hypocrite and the Heart

The Hypocrite and the Heart

Big Idea: Don’t be hypocritical teachers whose falsehood breeds blasphemy; be people with Spirit-circumcised hearts, living out God’s word for his praise and glory.

1. Privilege without practice dishonours God's name (2:17–24)

2. God praises the changed heart, not the outward mark (2:25–29)

3. Our falseness cannot cancel God's faithfulness (3:1–8)

Introduction

[Romans 1:18-32] The Righteous God Who Reveals and Justifies

I'll be honest with you — this passage isn't exactly cheerful reading.

But stay with me, because it lays the foundation for the gospel truths Paul builds on for the rest of the letter.

God’s wrath is a righteous and necessary response toward those who sin against Him.

And I truly believe we’ll be blessed, if we read, digest and believe this passage in the Bible.

Because it’s only when we understand the biblical teaching on God’s wrath that we’re able to see how breathtaking God’s grace in the gospel really is.
