    Romans 12:15 | The Anatomy of Genuine Sympathy
    Jan 19 2026
    Today we descend deeper into what Paul means by love without dissimulation, the kind of love that cannot be performance, that cannot be simply the wearing of a mask. Listen to Paul's words: "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep." (Romans 12:15) These words are simple enough to read. They may prove exceedingly difficult to obey. They expose not the great gestures of the Christian life, but something far more searching, the true condition of your heart.

  • ROMANS 12:16 | A SERMON FOR THE CHURCH

    ROMANS 12:16 | A SERMON FOR THE CHURCH
    Jan 19 2026
    The sermon centers on Romans 12:16–21, calling believers to cultivate a unified, Christ-centered mindset marked by humility, selflessness, and love within the church community. It emphasizes three dangers to unity—hypocrisy, ambition, and intellectual pride—warning against self-exaltation, social climbing, and overconfidence in one's knowledge, all of which fracture fellowship. The remedy is not external conformity but the internal transformation of adopting the mind of Christ, who humbled Himself to serve the lowly, exemplifying a life of sacrificial love, patience, and mercy. True wisdom, the sermon argues, is not self-assertive but rooted in humility, dependence on God, and a willingness to forgive and bless even enemies, thereby reflecting Christ's character and making the church a distinct light in a selfish world.

  • Romans 12:10-13 | THE PRACTICAL DUTIES OF GENUINE LOVE

    Romans 12:10-13 | THE PRACTICAL DUTIES OF GENUINE LOVE
    Jan 2 2026
    Romans 12:1–13 presents a transformative call to radical discipleship, centering on the believer's total surrender to God as a living sacrifice, followed by a practical blueprint for Christian community life. The passage demands a radical reorientation away from worldly conformity toward spiritual renewal, grounded in humility, mutual love, and selfless service. It emphasizes that genuine love is not sentimental or superficial but requires moral clarity, honesty, and action—abhorring evil and cleaving to good—while prioritizing the body of Christ above all personal relationships and pursuits. The exhortations to brotherly affection, honoring others, diligence, fervency, patience in suffering, persistent prayer, generosity, and hospitality form a unified vision of a life fully devoted to Christ, where every aspect of existence is shaped by faith, hope, and service. This passage challenges the modern church's self-centeredness and performance-based spirituality, calling believers to embody a countercultural love that is both sacrificial and joyful, rooted in the unshakable hope of eternal glory.
