South Side Baptist Church Abbeville, South Carolina Pastor Joel Bradberry March 3, 2024 Sunday AM Service Sermon Notes: God is totally righteous to judge man’s total depravity. 1. God’s Total Righteousness (1-8) For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. (Hebrews 6:4-6) 2. Man’s Total Depravity (9-20) Summary of Romans 1:18-3:20 1. Gentiles know of God through natural law, yet suppress God’s truth and worship the creature not the Creator. 2. Jews are privileged in that they have God’s Law—but they are not able to keep God’s Law. The Law shows their guilt. 3. Having the Law isn’t what counts—keeping it is, and all are condemned because none keep the Law. The Law shows how far short we fall. 4. We need a righteous standing because we answer to the righteous judge. https://www.southsideabbeville.com

South Side Baptist Church Abbeville, South Carolina Pastor Joel Bradberry February 25, 2024 Sunday AM Service Sermon Notes: An outward showy religion without inward transformation blasphemes God’s name among unbelievers. 1. It is the inside (heart), not the outside (showy religion), that matters to God. (17-24) And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” [Matthew 12:41-44] 2. Paul uses circumcision as an example of the folly of outward religion without inward transformation. (25-29) https://www.southsideabbeville.com
