    Doxology and Benediction. [Sermon]. Romans 16:25-27. Conclusion to Paul's Epistle to the Romans.

    Do you feel weak—physically, spiritually, mentally? In this powerful exposition of Romans 16:25–27, Dr. Matthew Everhard closes Paul’s greatest epistle by showing how God makes weak believers strong. From Romans 1:16 (“the power of God for salvation”) to Romans 5:6 (“while we were still weak”) to this final doxology—“Now to Him who is able to strengthen you”—the whole letter sweeps from power, down to the cross, and back up to glory. In this sermon, you will discover Three Ways God Makes Us Strong:1️⃣ By His Power – The omnipotent God strengthens His people through the Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ.2️⃣ Under His Authority – True strength comes through obedience of faith, submission to the eternal God, and deep roots in the prophetic Scriptures.3️⃣ For His Glory – Our lives are meant to reflect praise back to the only wise God forever through Jesus Christ. This message engages critics like Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, and Christopher Hitchens—answering the claim that Christianity is merely a “crutch.” The Gospel is not a crutch. It is resurrection power. It is new birth. It is transformation. We also compare this great doxology with the closing praise of Jude and the opening worship of Revelation, tracing the beautiful downward blessing of God’s grace and the upward reflection of glory back to Him. If you are weary…If you are battling temptation…If you feel spiritually drained… This text is for you. 📖 Scripture: Romans 16:25–27📅 March 1, 2026🎙️ Dr. Matthew V. Everhard Be strong in the Gospel. Be strong in the Word. Be strong in obedience. Live your whole life as a doxology—to Him be the glory forever. Amen. #Romans16 #ReformedTheology #Presbyterian #ExpositoryPreaching #MeansOfGrace #Doxology #ChristianStrength #GospelPower

    How to Forgive People Who Hurt You

    How Do You Forgive Someone Who Truly Hurt You?Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in the Christian life—especially when the wounds are deep, personal, and undeserved. In this video, Pastor Matthew Everhard walks through a clear, biblical, step-by-step guide to forgiveness, grounded in Scripture and centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ.This is not shallow advice or emotional denial. Biblical forgiveness does not mean pretending the pain didn’t happen, enabling abuse, or putting yourself back in danger. Instead, this teaching shows how forgiveness flows from what Christ has already done for us.📖 In this message, you’ll learn:- Why safety matters when forgiving others- How the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:21–35) reshapes our hearts- What Jesus’ words from the cross (Luke 23:34) teach us about mercy- Why remembering our own sins (Ecclesiastes 7:21) humbles us- How to release your claim to revenge and trust God’s justice (Romans 12:14–21)- Why praying for those who hurt you is essential (Matthew 5:44)- When and how healing words like “I forgive you” can bring restoration- How forgiveness is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8)Whether you are dealing with betrayal, bitterness, anger, or unresolved pain, this video offers biblical clarity, pastoral wisdom, and gospel hope.👉 If this teaching helps you, consider subscribing for more Christ-centered sermons, biblical theology, and practical Christian discipleship.📌 Scriptures Referenced:Matthew 18:21–35 | Luke 23:34 | Ecclesiastes 7:21 | Romans 12:14–21 | Matthew 5:44 | Romans 8🔔 Subscribe & ShareIf you know someone struggling to forgive, share this message with them—it may be exactly what they need to hear.

    The Calvinism of the Book of Romans: Was Paul a Calvinist, or Was Calvin Pauline?

    Is the Book of Romans Calvinistic?In this Sunday School lecture, we review the entire structure of Paul’s epistle to the Romans — from total depravity in Romans 1–3 to predestination in Romans 8–9 and the perseverance of the saints.We explore:• Why exegesis must precede systematics• Whether Calvin imposed theology onto Paul• The five points of Calvinism (TULIP)• Total depravity in Romans 1–3• Justification by faith in Romans 3–5• Predestination in Romans 8• Divine sovereignty in Romans 9• Evangelism and election in Romans 10• The glory of God in Romans 11We also discuss the theology of John Calvin, the importance of the Reformation, and how Paul’s letter to the Epistle to the Romans provides the doctrinal foundation for what later became known as Calvinism.If you've ever wondered:Does Romans teach predestination?Is Paul compatible with Calvinism?What about human responsibility?Is God unjust in Romans 9?Can you lose your salvation according to Romans 8?This lecture walks carefully through the text itself.Calvin may not have been Pauline chronologically — but he was deeply Pauline theologically.

    When Bible Reading Loses the Fire (If Your Devotions Seem Cold)

    Is your devotional life growing cold—even though you’re still reading the Bible? If you’ve been walking with Christ for years, this video is for you. Many faithful Christians experience seasons where their Bible reading and prayer feel dry, stale, or routine. In this video, I want to reassure you: don’t panic—and don’t quit. Instead, you may need to change the way you’re engaging Scripture so the fire keeps burning. Using the image of throwing new logs on the fire, I walk through practical, biblical, and time-tested ways to revitalize your devotional life without abandoning consistency. In this video, we cover: Why spiritual coldness happens to mature Christians The three legs of a healthy devotional life (private, family, and church) Why quitting your Bible plan is not the solution When and how to change your devotional format Reading vs. listening vs. writing—and when each helps most How switching Bibles, translations, or study formats can help Why listening to Scripture while reading increases focus The spiritual benefits of walking, journaling, and note-taking When God may be calling you to write—journals, prayers, or even a book This video is especially helpful if: You’ve read the Bible for years but feel spiritually stuck Your January Bible plan is already feeling heavy You struggle with distraction during devotions You want to grow without becoming mechanical You’re in ministry and feeling devotional fatigue 📌 Join the conversation What has helped your devotional life stay fresh?
