God's Wrath and Our Only Hope

Bryan Schneider

April 24, 2026

Romans 3:9-20

We always tend to say that we are not the one who has a sin problem. But in this passage, God says that we do indeed. It's time for us to admit that we are sinners, and to look to Jesus alone for justification. No person or group has moral superiority before God. And we can't grade ourselves on a sliding scale and say we're better than others. Our default mode is sin, and we can't blame others or our circumstances for it. The evidence is against us. What hope do we have? God's Law condemns and silences us, and our only hope is for our Judge to look at our Advocate: Jesus Christ, who never sinned, and resisted all temptation. He takes His robe of righteousness and puts it on us. Stop trying to justify yourself. Don't whitewash your sin. Call it for what it is, confess it to the Lord, and look to Christ for forgiveness.

How to Escape God's Judgment

Bryan Schneider

April 3, 2026

Romans 2:1-16

Sometimes it's really easy to accuse others when we ourselves have the same problem. But we cannot avoid God's judgment by pointing our finger at someone else. How, then, do we escape His righteous wrath against our sins? We first have to be honest about our natural condition: we are under judgment, and the Lord will judge with equity. There's no way we can stand before the Omniscient Judge and say, "I'm righteous." So what hope do we have? Where do we run when the gavel is about to fall? We must run to the cross as fast as we can. Christ has taken away our sins and given us His righteousness. He was put to death for our sins, and He was raised again for our justification. What kind of person will you be? Will you say you haven't sinned and make God out to be a liar? Or will you confess your sins to the one who is faithful and just to forgive them? Stop pointing fingers at everyone else, confess that you are guilty, and then look to Jesus and rest in His finished work of redemption!

Immanuel

Bryan Schneider

December 19, 2025

Matthew 1:18-25

Jesus came to be the Anointed King over the whole world. This was brought about by a miraculous occurrence. Jesus took on incarnate flesh and became Immanuel: "God with us." He fixed the problem we created by our sins, and came to save us from them. Be happy -- the King has come! The Lord of glory has arrived! Our Savior has come and is still with us today. Do you believe in Him?

Ecclesiastes

Pride and Position

Bryan Schneider

December 12, 2025

Ecclesiastes 10:4-7

We like to think that we're totally free here in America. But even here, we are still under more authority than we realize at times. And sometimes those authorities are wise, sometimes they are not, and sometimes they are even angry. The Bible gives us many examples of how wise people reacted to an angry king or ruler: David and Saul, Daniel's three friends and Nebuchadnezzar, Nehemiah and Artaxerxes, and even Christ Himself before Pilate. Conciliation pacifies great offenses. It's not uncommon for fools to be promoted to high places, while those who are honorable are treated like dirt. And when this happens, the people suffer for it. The world has been turned upside down, and we know it shouldn't be this way. But the King of glory Himself came to earth as a man, and suffered humiliation and even death, so that the world would be flipped over again. In this world, we need to maintain a Christian posture. Don't be surprised when people look down on us, even though we are sons and daughters of the King. And we will despair if we place our confidence in finally having all the right people in government offices, or even in the church. So we must not put our hope there. The anchor of our soul is in Jesus alone, and not in any earthly authority system. Our hope must be grounded in Christ. Rulers will mess things up under the sun. But in heaven, King Jesus still reigns perfectly, and we can look forward to the day when He will return and make all things right.

Ecclesiastes

On Wisdom and Folly

Bryan Schneider

December 5, 2025

Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

Folly makes things foul. It destroys the reputation of those who are in high esteem, but then engage in foolish acts. Folly is connected with sinful ways of thinking that influence our lives. There is only one Man Whose life was never stained with sin or folly: Jesus Christ. He is the embodiment of purity and wisdom. As we increase in wisdom, we increase in the ability to live life skillfully for God's Kingdom. We can only become truly wise by seeking the Lord in His Word and knowing Him. As we do so, our affections are stirred up and we long to have our clumsy, foolish lives changed and made holy. Fools manifest their folly by calling everything foolish that's outside of "their own ways." Refusing to follow practical advice when it doesn't contradict Scripture is folly itself. This pride will also keep us from the wisdom of God in Christ. We can live our lives with Christ-filled skill; but it starts with God humbling our heart, leading us to Jesus, and causing us to abide in Him and bring forth much fruit for His glory.

Ecclesiastes

Wisdom is Not Respected

Bryan Schneider

November 28, 2025

Ecclesiastes 9:13-18

A quiet wise man can save a city, but a loud fool can ruin it. What are you listening to and being discipled by in life: the still small voice of God's Word, or the bombastic clamor of the world? The hero in Solomon's story is not who we would expect it to be: a poor wise man without rank or riches. Similarly, our salvation comes from an unlikely source. Jesus was the wise Man Who was poor and despised in this world, but He delivered us from the strong man of sin and death. Sadly, however, just like with Jesus, the unfortunate reality is that the world doesn't always honor those who who save and care for them. They prefer to give attention and preference to those who are loud and noisy, even if their words are worthless. Let's honor those who are Biblically wise, not those in the spotlight who tell us what we want to hear through a microphone. Many families, friendships, churches, and businesses are destroyed because of one loud fool. Who is guiding your soul and your life? The Good Shepherd, or the noisy commentators of the world? Tune your ears to the quiet voice of God's Word. And if the world thinks you're a fool, so be it, and give God the glory. They esteemed Christ as a fool too.

Ecclesiastes

Carpe Diem - Seize the Day

Bryan Schneider

November 21, 2025

Ecclesiastes 9:1-12

Seize the day that God has given you, and use it for the glory of His Kingdom! Death is certain to come to us all; but in the meantime, life is a gift from the Lord. He has given us good gifts, and He wants us to take them with an open hand. We can live joyfully with our spouse, and we can enjoy the work that God has given us to do. And even when disastrous things happen to us, we know that these things are not accidents. Our life is in the Lord's hands, and we can trust Him. Seize the day for Jesus Christ, and live with the full knowledge and assurance that you can trust Him with your life.

True Thanksgiving

Dr. John Wiers

November 14, 2025

Psalm 111

The Thanksgiving holiday is coming up soon in the US; but as Christians, thanksgiving should be something that characterizes our lives every day. What the Lord has done in this world should cause us to break out into singing. Great, glorious, amazing, wonderful, marvelous, exquisite, and more are all adjectives that describe the works of God. God's Providence is in control. He provides and cares for us, even in this bent and broken world. The Gospel is a comfort to us because it shows us the faithfulness of God's character: He sent His Son to be our Redeemer, just as He promised He would. There's enough in this Psalm for an eternity of thanksgiving! The Lord's covenant love will never let us go. How often do you thank Him for His works?

What is Man?

Dr. John Wiers

November 7, 2025

Psalm 8

There is a majestic God, and we are not Him. We are created in His image, but we have now fallen from our original estate. But He did make us to be the highest point of His Creation -- made in His image to have a relational capacity. We are special, and we are to have dominion over the earth God made. Even the "lowest" human beings have value because the Lord says so. Although unbelievers do not want to believe this, they know in their heart that it is true. Their cultural attempts to defy God's order are rebellion against Him. If the Christian view of dominion is absent, then there will be all manner of confusion and perversion. The world is bent and broken, but Jesus has been crowned with glory and honor, and He conquered death and paid for our sins that messed up this world.
