Pastor Mike closed Romans 2 by confronting those who call themselves Jews, rely on the law, and claim to be guides to the blind—yet break the very law they teach. They rested on outward circumcision and heritage while their hearts remained uncircumcised; because of this hypocrisy the name of God was blasphemed among the Gentiles. The same warning applies to every professing Christian: baptism, church membership, or family heritage mean nothing without a changed heart. True circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit, not the letter, so the church must walk the walk it talks.

Romans 2:1-16 (11/1/26)
Pastor Mike returned to Romans, picking up where chapter 1 leaves off and pressing into chapter 2. Paul is building a lawyer’s case that every person is without excuse: the same sins listed at the end of chapter 1 bring judgment on those who practice them, yet the religious and moral people who condemn others while doing the same things stand condemned by their own standard. The law is a mirror that shows we are not righteous; belief must precede behavior, so the gospel changes the heart rather than merely legislating conduct. Those who have been washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ are no longer under wrath, yet they still fight the flesh daily and will give an account of how they used what Christ has given them. God’s kindness, forbearance, and patience are meant to lead to repentance, not presumption; an impenitent heart stores up wrath for the day when God renders to each according to his works, showing no partiality between Jew and Greek. The sermon closed by calling the church to speak the truth in love, prepare as the bride of Christ, and refuse both legalism and licentiousness.

Acts 13:1-12 (10/25/26)
Pastor Steve Bray of Mile One Mission in Newfoundland brought greetings from Calvary Baptist and its church plants, then preached Acts 13:1–12 as the blueprint of a missions church on mission. After recounting Antioch’s worship, fasting, and the Spirit’s call to set apart Barnabas and Saul, he listed five marks of such a church; the three he developed are these. First, a missions church has diversity: prophets and teachers from varied backgrounds, ages, and cultures who do life together as an intergenerational body rather than segregated generations. Second, a missions church is devoted: corporate worship, prayer, and fasting both precede and confirm the Spirit’s voice, so the church sends its best leaders (as Antioch sent Barnabas and Saul) rather than treating ministry as a business meeting. Third, a missions church is deliberate: once sent, Paul and Barnabas followed a clear plan—synagogue first, proclamation of the Word, disciples made, churches planted—never reinventing the Great Commission. He closes by tying the pattern to the Lord’s Table and challenging Gwathmey to experience the teaching of Acts, not merely teach its experiences, so that worship together would produce hearing from God together and the sending of the gospel.
