A sermon from Father Michael Novotny from Hebrews 4 / Psalm 95. Trading anxiety for gratefulness.
What freedom do Christians have? Are we free to do whatever we want or are we to obey the Law? How are Christians to relate to each other when we disagree on how to answer these questions? These questions plagued the Roman church in St. Paul’s day as well. This week’s message from Fr. Michael Novotny, Legalism or License?, concludes our series in Romans.
Jesus tells us that if we want to save our lives, we will lose them. What did he mean? In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny focuses on Romans 12:1-3 and explains what it means to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. Join us as we continue our series in the book of Romans.
What are we to think about God’s sovereignty? Because God is sovereign are we to resign to a mechanical determinism? In this week’s message on Romans 11:25-36, Fr. Michael Novotny helps us understand these questions, especially as they relate to the mystery of salvation for Jews and Gentiles alike. For the Apostle Paul, God’s sovereignty led not to determinism, but to doxology.
What does it mean to be loved by God? Love can mean many different things in our culture. St. Paul tells us that nothing can separate us from the love of God (Rom. 8:39). In this week’s message Fr. Michael Novotny reminds us that God loves each of us. Listen to this important sermon as we continue our series on the Book of Romans.
What are you waiting for? After assuring the Roman Christians that they are dead to sin and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, St. Paul addresses the problem of suffering. This week Dcn. Chase Edgar helps us understand that what we are waiting for cannot yet be seen, but our present sufferings hardly compare to the redemption of our bodies.
