BSGCC # 171 A Conversation with Barabbas Matt 27

Gospel installment: 11-29-2025 Message Title (s): 1. A conversation with Barabbas 2. He released Barabbas to them 1. The Lord Jesus was on His way to the cross to be crucified. 2. THis is what He came to do. 3. And we have to interpret the proceedings around His trial as gospel testimonies. 4. And He met a number of people along the way to the cross and each encounter bore a gospel testimony. 5. So, after He had been delivered to Pilate, and the Lord gave us a tonne of gospel nuggets to mine. 6. And I am going to say-if we understand and believe the gospel testimony in Barabbas then we have been taught of God. 7. A hermeneutic that fails to see the gospel in this is a FALSE Hermeneutic. This is not literature. It is gospel, it is salvation, it is life AND IT IS FREEE. YOU MUST HEAR THIS MESSAGE and HEAR IT AGAIN.

ROM # 73 Aim to Preach the Gospel Rom 15 vs 20-33

Today's Gospel Instalment: 11/16/2025 Sermon Title(s): 1. Aim to preach the gospel 2. Paul's intention to visit Rome 1. I am excited and sad that we are coming to the end of the book of Romans. 2. It has been a most blessed almost 3 years of teaching and learning the gospel of God. 3. Apostle Paul is now closing his letter to those called of God at/in Rome. 4. He is looking forward to seeing them and this letter was his preparation of his meeting with them, but also preparing them to prepare for his journey to Spain. 5. But in the meantime, he must go to Jerusalem to deliver some help to poor saints there. 6. And he was asking them to pray for this mission to be successful and also his dealings with those in disbelief there (the Jews who wanted him dead). 7. And it was his hope and prayer that after this was completed, he would head to Rome and commune with them and then they would send him off to Spain. 8. A lot of things here that cannot be exhausted even in 3 messages, but since we shall continue to be in Pauline epistles we will only speak to that which the Lord will give me for now. And it is FREE!

Gen 39-Imputation the Testimony of Mrs Potiphar

Title: The Doctrine of Imputation-Mrs. Potiphar's Testimony Preached 11-10-2025 Text: 2 Cor 5 vs 21 1. Continued to amplify the centrality of the doctrine of imputation to Christian hope and faith. 2. And saying, this is not a new doctrine. 3. Rather God taught in many types and shadows right from the Old Testament. 4. And the story of Mrs. Potiphar is very illustrative of this doctrine in its purity. 5. A lot of scandal her and how she got Joseph in trouble and yet she was not condemned. 6. And this only because of the testimony of the garment that Joseph left her in her hands. 7. And that garment (a picture of the imputed righteousness of Christ) was her only hope and testimony of vindication. WONDERFUL GOSPEL, GOd be be praised!

Imputation-2 Cor 5 vs 21

This is a VERY SHORT BUT IMPORTANT MESSAGE Title: The Doctrine of Imputation Text: 2 Cor 5 vs 21 1. The gospel of grace is carried by the doctrine of imputation. 2. Apart from imputation of sin and righteousness there is NO GOSPEL. 3. Free Imputation of righteousness was always God's design for the salvation of sinners. 4. But how was that done? God "made Christ sin" and that means God imputed the sins of the elect to Christ. 5. Christ Jesus being God and sinless could not be infused with sin for many reasons. First being the immutable God, that was impossible. Secondly, that would have defiled Him and disqualified both His Priesthood and Sacrifice (Lev 21 & 22). 6. So, He was "made sin" not by infusion/impartation, but by imputation of sin debt/guilt. 6. Imputation does not transfer material or infuse things into a person. Rather, it legally reckons them as liable for the sins of another-as with Christ Jesus, and it makes the elect sinner also righteous in reverse. 7. The elect are legally righteous in the books of God, but not experientially, since they are not yet glorified. They all still have INDWELLING SIN. Indwelling sin is a constant REMINDER that our ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOPE lies in IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS (God's righteousness). 8. Thus, the matter of salvation is best understood and believed through the doctrine of imputation and accompanying doctrines. By the death of Christ God made us the righteousness of God in Him. THAT IS HOW GOD SEES THINGS. 9. And how GOD SEES THINGS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS and IT IS FREE
