Gospel of Grace Fellowship Sermons: Recent Episodes
Eric Douma & Bob DeWaay
In this message from Romans 5:20-21 we examine how God used the Law as a detour sign that was designed to point all people to the main road of salvation through faith in Christ. In this message we also examine the continuing relevance of the Law and wrestle with how it relates to the believer […]
This sermon is a Biblical exposition of the doctrine of Christ. We cover many scriptures about the important truths about the person and work of Christ. He is the Creator, the Son of God, the son of David, the son of man, the Messiah, and also prophet, priest and king. This is just a partial […]
John identifies the liar is the one who denies Christ. We emphasize how critically important confession of Christ is. We cannot refuse to confess Christ and claim to have a right relationship with God. False religions always have a false Christ. Many people have no interest in learning Christian doctrine because they deem it impractical. […]
In Romans 5:15-19 we learn that all of humanity has either Adam or Jesus Christ as their representative. Adam brought sin and death to all people, but we learn that through faith in Jesus Christ people can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. In this message we examine the various views as to how […]
In this topical sermon we explore Paul’s warnings about how the Corinthian congregation was abusing the Lord’s Supper. We learn that the “examine yourself” passage in 1 Corinthians 11:28 has nothing to do with self-introspection in which a Christian determines if they are good enough for the communion table. The warning is instead about how […]
All true Christians are anointed by Christ with the Holy Spirit. False teachers claim a special anointing that gives them insights that ordinary Christians lack. We know the truth and do not need the knowledge that false teachers offer. All who have believed the gospel of Christ do know the truth. Correcting lies is necessary […]
Antichrists left the apostolic church associated with the apostle John. They rejected the true doctrine of Christ. By leaving they showed they were not true Christians. Preaching Christ will purify the church and expose those who are not truly converted. In this same epistle John tells us to test the spirits which implies the doctrines […]
Peter tells us that he is thankful for the promise of salvation that God has given us in 1 Peter 1 3 – 5. It is because of that promise that even though we go through trials and tribulations, we still have joy! It’s the kind of joy that’s deep down and “inexpressible.” So, just […]
In Romans 5:12-21 Paul begins to address how the two impediments to our glorification, sin and death, are going to be conquered. Paul will explain that sin and death are conquered by the new Adam – Jesus Christ. Our focus in this message (Romans 5:12-14) is on how every single person born into this world […]
Paul argues in Romans 5:9-11 that believers in Jesus Christ can be absolutely certain of the future glory that awaits them because of Christ’s life. In this message we examine how Christ is assuredly going to spare His flock from the coming wrath, and why it is so significant that Christ lives to intercede for […]
John addresses the church to warn about a serious problem that characterizes the “last hour.” Antichrists have arisen who are false teachers who trouble the church and oppose the true doctrine of Christ. However, during this same “last hour” dead sinners hear the voice of the Son of God through the gospel and believing, they […]
To understand what John means by not loving the world, we have to know that the word “world” (kosmos) has a range of meanings. We are not to love the world in its sinful lusts and rebellion against God. If we do love the world in its alienated state, we too will be motivated not […]

Title: –Forgiveness, Knowledge of God and Victory–1John 2:12-14 In this section of Scripture the elderly apostle John tenderly addresses the church, reminding them of what God has done for them. He begins by assuring the flock that their sins are forgiven. The truths that John emphasizes here include knowing God and having victory over Satan. […]
In Romans 5:1-8 Paul begins to explain the blessings that have accrued to the believer’s account because they have been justified through faith in Christ. Paul explains that believers have peace with God, access to His grace, and an assured hope of future glory. Paul also teaches that believers can be assured of this future […]
In Romans 4:17-25 Paul qualifies what saving faith looks like by using Abraham as an example of a person who lived by faith and not by sight. The circumstances in Abraham’s life indicated that he and his wife would never be able to conceive the promised son because of their age. Paul shows us, however, […]
Turning From Darkness to Christ Who is Light–1John 2:9-11 False teachers say they are enlightened but are actually in spiritual darkness. True conversion is turning from darkness to light. When someone is converted, he or she needs the fellowship of other Christians. They share the reality of walking in spiritual light. The world will accept […]
The commandment to love is foundational for Christian ethics. All Christian fundamentally know that God has loved them and showed them mercy through the cross. Love does not negate moral commands but epitomizes them. God’s love is demonstrated by Christ’s laid down life. We need to believe what God has done to show us love […]
