“Everyone Is a Sinner; Everyone May Be Saved” (Romans 3:22b-24)

“Everyone Is a Sinner; Everyone May Be Saved” (Romans 3:22b–24)
Pastor Cameron Jungels

Sunday AM, June 25, 2017
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood-- to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-- 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:21–26, NIV)
When it comes to the severity of our sin and our desperate need of God’s salvation, every person is the same (22b).
“There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,”
We are all sinners and fall short of God’s glory (23).
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
“everything that does not come from faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23, NIV)
“There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” (Romans 3:10–12, NIV)
We all may be forgiven and declared righteous before God through the atonement of Christ (24).
“and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Main Idea: Today, we need to know that we are all sinners, and we all need to be saved and can be saved only through the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Fathering like the Father”
Pastor Cameron Jungels
Eastside Baptist Church
June 18, 2017 Sunday AM Father’s Day
As Fathers, we must learn to be Merciful as our Heavenly Father is Merciful.
Luke 6:36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Psalm 103:8-14 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
As Fathers, we must be Faithful as our Heavenly Father is Faithful.
Deuteronomy 7:8-9 8 But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.
As Fathers, we must learn to Love as our Heavenly Father Loves.
1 John 3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
1 John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:16 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
John 3:16 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
As Fathers, we must be Holy as our Heavenly Father is Holy.
1 Peter 1:14-17 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
Main Idea: To be a godly father means to father like God.

Psalm 5
For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1 Listen to my words, LORD,
consider my lament.
2 Hear my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 The arrogant cannot stand
in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
6 you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, LORD, detest.
7 But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence I bow down
toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make your way straight before me.
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongues they tell lies.
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5, NIV)
Willem A. VanGemeren proposes the following structure for Psalm 5:1

“Who Is the LORD?” (Exodus 5:1–9)
Pastor Cameron Jungels
Eastside Baptist Church
Sunday PM, June 11, 2017
Exodus 5:1–9 (NIV)
5 Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.’”
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go.”
3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
4 But the king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!” 5 Then Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working.”
6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ 9 Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
The Lord’s Messengers Deliver His Word (1, 3).
The Lord’s Word Is Rejected by the Hard-Hearted (2, 4–5).
The Lord’s People Suffer Persecution at the Hands of the Hard-Hearted because of the Lord’s Word (6–9).
Main Idea (application): God’s messengers must boldly represent God and his Word to the world. We should not expect the world to immediately recognize the authority of God, and we should not be surprised by lack of initial success. But in the end, God will accomplish his purposes.

“The Righteousness of God Made Known” (Romans 3:21–22a)
Pastor Cameron Jungels
Eastside Baptist Church
Sunday AM, June 11, 2017
Romans 3:21–22a (NIV)
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
1. The righteousness that comes to us in the Gospel is God’s.
a. The Gospel is God’s Gospel.
b. The Righteousness is God’s Righteousness.
2. The righteousness of God that comes to us in the Gospel was planned from eternity past and testified of in the Old Testament.
a. The Gospel is not God’s alternative plan when the Law did not work to save people.
b. It was never God’s intention to save people through the Law. The Law brings us a knowledge and conviction of our sinfulness.
c. God’s intention to save people by his righteousness was prophesied in the Old Testament.
d. We don’t have a full understanding of the Gospel of God without the testimony of the Old Testament Scriptures.
3. The righteousness of God that comes to us in the Gospel has now been revealed in this New Covenant era (But now…).
a. The righteousness of God that comes to us in the Gospel is not new; it was there testified of in the Old Testament. “But now” that righteousness of God has been fully revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ – his incarnation, life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.
b. The “Christ event” introduced a new era in God’s salvation plan. We are now beneficiaries of this New Covenant epoch.
c. The righteousness of God that comes to us in the Gospel introduces a new epoch in history, but it also introduces a new epoch in each of our lives personally. For all who are in Christ there was a “Then…” followed by a “But now…”
4. The righteousness of God that comes to us in the Gospel comes through faith in Jesus Christ apart from the Law.
a. The righteousness of God that we receive in the Gospel is not earned by us; it was earned by Jesus Christ. It is his righteousness that justifies us before our Holy God.
b. This righteousness of God in Christ is not obtained by our performance of the deeds of the Law; it is obtained through complete trust and dependence on Jesus Christ.

Psalm 4
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call to you,
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?
3 Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the LORD hears when I call to him.
4 Tremble and do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the LORD.
6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, LORD,
make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4, NIV)
1. A prayer for relief and mercy (v. 1).
Answer me…hear my prayer.
Give me relief…
Have mercy on me…

Honor the LORD’s chosen servant: David, the King (vv. 2–3).
Fear the LORD and turn from sin (v. 4).
Worship the LORD and trust in Him (v. 5).
3. A prayer for blessing and joy (vv. 6–7).

LORD, grant joy (v. 7).
4. An expression of personal trust in the LORD (v.8).
Peace in the midst of trouble…
Comes from firm confidence in the LORD.

“Back to Egypt” (Exodus 4:18–31)
Pastor Cameron Jungels
Eastside Baptist Church
Sunday PM, June 4, 2017
Exodus 4:18–31 (NIV)
18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.”
Jethro said, “Go, and I wish you well.”
19 Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are dead.” 20 So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.
21 The LORD said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”
24 At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. 25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26 So the LORD let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)
27 The LORD said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.
29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, 30 and Aaron told them everything the LORD had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, 31 and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
Receptive to Divine Guidance (18–20).
Reckoning with the Divine Plan (21–23).
Averting Divine Wrath (24–26).
Praising Divine Faithfulness (27–31).

“The Universality of Sin” (Romans 3:9–20)
Pastor Cameron Jungels
Eastside Baptist Church
Sunday AM, June 4, 2017
Romans 3:9–20 (NIV)
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
All Are Guilty: When it comes to the standard of Divine justice, neither Jews nor Gentiles have an advantage; all are guilty (9).
2. All Are Under the Power of Sin: The power and pervasiveness of sin is universal; all are under its grip (10–18).
The ungodliness of sin.
The pervasiveness of sin.
The universality of sin.
3. All Have Only One Hope: The human race (Jews and Gentiles) has one and only one hope for salvation from the power of sin and its penalty: not our own attempts at good works but the righteousness of God that comes through faith (19–20).
