Peace With God | Romans 5:1-11
Perfectly timed for the Christian's most joyous season, Pastor John helps us unravel a letter to the Romans where Paul brings a message of peace, hope, and rejoicing. Romans 5 gives us a radical perspective that reveals the wild love of God. As we are justified by our faith in Jesus Christ, we learn the joys and the gifts that are provided through our suffering, displaying the evidence of our Most High God's impeccable timing.

Salvation...On Credit? | Romans 3:21-4:17
Просмотров 5 тыс.16 часов назад
The biblical laws of the Old Testament reveal humanity's inability to fully obey all of God's commands and ultimately point to the need for a Savior. On the cross, Jesus Christ provided the great exchange, His sacrifice for our salvation, fulfilling God's plan to offer His righteousness to the lost. Listen as Pastor John demonstrates the continuity of scripture between the Old Testament and the...
Total Depravity | Romans 3:1-20
Просмотров 11 тыс.14 дней назад
The deep theological concept of total depravity has been debated among Bible scholars for centuries. Every aspect of human nature is corrupted by sin (our will, our minds, and our bodies) and a divine intervention from God is required to regenerate and create our new hearts. This week, Pastor John guides us through Romans 3, reminding us that true righteousness comes not from ethnic identity or...
One Nation Under God (Hold My Wine!)
Просмотров 14 тыс.14 дней назад
As one nation under God, pastors have a responsibility to speak on political issues. Biblical figures like Paul often confronted political corruption and injustice. We can celebrate the recent election outcome which resulted in a significant idealogical shift at the leadership level, but ultimately our allegiance as Christians is with Jesus Christ, not a political party. www.gracecityrome.com @...
Decoding Bible: Symbols & Circumcision | Romans 2:12-29
Просмотров 6 тыс.21 день назад
Pastor John explores the symbolism of circumcision within the Old Testament, illustrating its deeper spiritual meaning and connection to the New Testament. While circumcision served as an outward sign of the covenant with God, true identity as God's people comes from a circumcised heart- a heart transformed by faith in Jesus Christ. Reliance on legalistic practices cannot save, and only faith i...

All of mankind is guilty of being judgemental, but is it always wrong to judge? Listen this week as Pastor John addresses the dangers of gossip and legalism within the church community and outlines biblical practices of righteous judgement that can lead to redemption and building stronger relationships with each other. www.gracecityrome.com @pastorjohnlovell

How To Be A Jesus Filled Church | Acts 18
Powerful stuff, John. You have a real gift for this. Thanks brother 🤜
He died for his friends and for his enemies, if you're asking me if I'd die to save the world yeah probably. He knew that his enemies would seek reconciliation such as Paul who was made blind and then given the Holy Ghost. If I knew that doing something would cause my enemy to come around and not be a total loser yeah. But my enemies are usually immoral reprobate so.... Usually everyone else comes around because God makes my enemies at peace with me. I might wrestle with the concept of jumping in front of a bullet for the junkie next door but if someone's shooting at him and his kid then I guess I got to push him out of the way. There's a time and a place for mercy and where I fail at this, you have to remember salvation is by grace through faith not works. But works are a sign of your salvation and you might catch yourself as a Christian doing some goofy things for your enemies wondering why the hell did I do that. But I'm pretty sure we're all going to give it the honest try. I've been in too many fights or not enough. But I was in one with a drunk who pushed me into a baby. And after I kicked his butt I carried him up a set of stairs because he was crying the whole way. That love your enemies thing it'll come upon you naturally. You think I'm lying but you can't shake it when the Holy Ghost pulls the reins.
When you gonna come visit texas Pastor John?
"While we were still sinners, Christ Jesus died for our sins ". So, yes, I would die for an enemy.
God bless you John! Love you brother

Such a blessing this sermon has been
I’m not that religious these days John but I seem to watch ALL of these until the end each time Lol 😂🤷♂️ I’m enjoying these, thanks man!! Now it’s time to go sling lead!! 👍😉 Lol
Good thing John isn’t religious either! It’s all about a relationship with Jesus!
My man 🫡💪
I hate it when you tell people what Mormons believe. Is there any scripture you can quote that says, we get to heaven by our works? At least read the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine of Covenants before you judge. I do enjoy your sermons
Disclaimer! This is not an attack! In my conversations with all Mormons they will tell me to my face that salvation comes when you have done ALL YOU CAN DO Christ covers the rest. That is not in alignment with the Gospel. That a Mormon thing. There are no works you can do to enter glory Christ did it all. Now by accepting that free gift we are endow with the Holy Spirit dwelling within that drives and motivates us to do good works through him because we love him. But it is not something we are just doing of our own volition that gets us to heaven. How do you even define “all I can do” there is always one more thing you can do! Hence it is a works based belief. Once again not an attack. I am happy to discuss this I’d like to know if you disagree but I have had this talk with many Mormon friends.
Same but for Catholics😂. Like, why. if you don't understand it ok but why bro. Im used to it Catholic is always taken the brunt of attacks since the Apostles time, now its from Christians too 😂still love his sermons
Dude the Mormon thing is crazy if you don't understand by now that Joseph Smith is a false prophet your way out in left field. You can start out with that war that never happened and has zero archaeological evidence. The dietary laws are ridiculous Jesus said all food is clean through me. If you're going to do some of the of the old testiment you have to do the whole law of. And after that how do you seek salvation because you've already broken all the laws of the Old Testament. Ee all have. none are righteous no not one. There's so much evidence against Joseph Smith but the big thing is the Mormon church is used as a coven for witches to get together. You might not believe in that but there's people out there that do, and they take that craft very seriously. There's an old sermon floating around on RUclips where an ex Satanist shares his tell law about being in the Mormon church. Also dudes running with gold plates and Tackling in four guys do you know how heavy gold is? And it didn't blow the hat out at all? Makes no sense at all. But the most striking thing is that he said some Angel went and gave him this brand new doctrine. We're supposed to think that God's up in heaven making Spirit babies. If you're a good spirit baby you get white skin if your bad Spirit baby get black skin? How about God made all nations of one blood. It contradicts the Bible head to toe. Jesus is the creator how could Jesus and Satan be brothers. Here's the thing if you're going to go into the Mormon church to practice witchcraft then stay in the Mormon church. If you're going to go in the Mormon church to learn about Jesus leave the Mormon church and read a King James. I don't know why anybody would want to put that yolk on them especially with the dietary laws and the Customs for hair growth. You can't have a beard you can't drink coffee.... what? You have to walk around in special lucky pajamas? No the Bible calls for you to put on the armor of God not lucky pajamas. Wierd. I know a lot about it because I had a cousin that's in it and they even do Blood In Blood Out. They kill people that leave. This church is a gangster megalith for satanic worship (witchcraft) at the tippy top. Same dietary law same boring rules. The lower rate members just use it for polygamy so they can shag up with underage girls. The Mormon church is an occult movement. Their Doctrine on Heaven is Twisted they have like three different layers and no hell and you can spend eternity having sex with your spouse? I mean it sounds nice but it's not scriptural at all. Also you become a god? That was Satan's lie in Eden. If you want to be Harry Potter go ahead. But the Holy Ghost is higher and power and Moses proved that when he threw down in Egypt. Mature People especially content creators that elevate the Mormon church after all these years of it being exposed, are in it for witchcraft. They can't be that ignorant. But I have heard that the book is extremely boring so maybe they are Sedated by something. Dude have a little fun drink some coffee. Grow a beard out. Racism polygamy and Witchcraft not something you should want to be a part of.
That's right!
Truly enjoy listening to your passion for the truth!
31:34 I would love to have a one on one , long conversation with you. I have small I mean minor disagreements, but don't understand all of it.
Yes!!! So happy to see this posted
Robin Hood men in tights is my visual 😅😅😅😅😅😅
✝️✝️✝️
Amen,amen, amen John.
Preach brother
Amen
This channel has helped me so much in my journey to be a better Christian, man and father. Thank you it’s been very much needed
That wow speaks to me so much thx ❤
“You’re really bad at Bible” 😂 I love you, John.
Watched you a long time brother !! Please study this out ! Cause from Abraham to Jesus a whole mess of Israelites went to hell Moses was made to sit outside of Canaan land and look over and see it, but not enter in. That was his punishment here on earth. It’s a representation of what will happen to us as Christians who do not follow the Lord. The Bible says obedience is better than sacrifice. It says in multiple other places, your name will be blotted out, for it to be blocked out it must be written in. I love you, John I like your videos. I hope you study this one out.
Thank you, John. Great message and it couldn't have come to me at a better time ❤🙏
Amen 🙏
Hi it’s me, the severed foot. Not doing great - I’ve been visiting different churches lately, but haven’t found one where I rly feel welcome yet. Still looking for a body that fits ig. Love that you started Romans a month before I started reading it, this has been nice. Do you plan on doing the entire NT?
Are those NLP teaching techniques, if so are they compliable with Bible Mr Lovell? Or just speaking from the heart Mr Lovell?😕❤
Good explanation and so much needed these days.
Bingo.
Great job John
The end of Revelation 19:10 is another verse that can open our eyes to the importance of the entirety of God's Word. "Worship God! For the witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Great sermon Pastor John connecting dots such as Gen 3:15 that far to many overlook. We have recorded for us in, (Gen 3:15), what is known as the "protoevangelium", it is the very first promise of our Lord and Savior to come. From before creation our Father in heaven knew He'd have to save us from ourselves and that is why He came/sent His Son, (Jhn 3:16-17, Jhn 10:30, Jhn 14:10-11), to do for us what we could never do, (Col 2:14), freely and loving giving us the Spirit of Grace, (Eph 2:8), salvation, eternal life, found only by, in and thru Him, (Jhn 14:6). All glory, praise and honor to our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. Num 6:24-26 for you, yours and all those around you.
Amen amen amen, I needed that today. 24:23 ruclips.net/user/shortshc2K9pXipQk?si=x5kTmbiiuGevVKha
I feel that redemption working through me and I recognize it in others too now. Since coming to God I’ve never felt more at peace, happier, joyful, and better. God Bless you John.
Are you in that new covenant of Jeremiah? Scripture connections Psalm 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law (Torah) is the truth. Jesus also identifies himself with truth. Many commenters try to claim that is a new definition of truth that replaces or overrides the definition of Torah as truth. Jesus himself refutes that claim and confirms the Torah is truth. Scripture can't be broken, annulled, made of no effect. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The word is the Torah. Building off this understanding of the Torah is truth the book of 1 John tells us if you don't practice the commandments, the TRUTH isn’t in you. 1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth (torah) is not inside him. 1 John has several verses related to this "truth in you" connected to doing the commandments. What is the significance of 1 John's statement of truth/torah/law not inside someone? THIS REALITY SHOULD LEAD SOMEONE TO QUESTION THEIR STANDING IN THE NEW COVENANT! JER 31 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put >>MY TORAH<< in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people Part of Jeremiah's description of this new covenant is that the Torah/law is placed INSIDE a person, in their heart. I often hear the claim, " I dont need to practice/do/keep the commandments. They are written on my heart!" 1 John calls the person who says this a liar. Sounds like this person isn’t really in the new covenant. God is not mocked. 1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth (torah) is not inside him.
There is none righteous... except... didn't even take long to find it... 5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of [h]Abijah; and he had a wife [i]from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.
Total misunderstanding and misdefinition of grace and faith. If you define grace and faith like our dictionary, the Tanach, does all of a sudden, magically, both sides agree. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments
If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments
Lotta log cabin Republicans in here 🙄
I love you pastor John. You don’t know me from Adam, but your sermons are a delight to me and an encouragement to many of us on-the-line. Hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving
Abraham believed and that was credited as righteousness. The faith in God hasn’t changed. We believe He will save us.
I had followed John off and on for years, this past April we stepped back into the Church, my whole family was baptized a few weeks ago. The past little while John's channel here along with other content has been such a tool to help me stay the course and keep focus on the Lord and reject distractions as idols. So grateful for this content.
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize it's king David 🤦 well done John, God is using you magnificently
Oh Job My favorite book you do recognize that after he calls upon Christ his situation changes as it does for all of us
Your wrong john. It's tomahawk, not feather.
Thank you Pastor John Lovell nd gcr ♥🔥
This is more of a comedy performance than preaching.
Amen.
I am currently watching a sermon from Tommy Nelson of Denton Bible Church here in Texas on Romans. This video is a very pleasant surprise. Bless you John
Context ? Romans 3 is about no one being “good” under the law. It’s about the law. Of course no one can earn salvation with religious activities as the Jews thought they could. It is all by faith alone now. That’s the whole point of Romans 3. Gotta look at the whole context within the book
The “little idol” comment hit me hard. I’ve always been a full tithe payer, and it has always blessed me but I never attributed it to giving up an idol. That really is so true. We are told money is the most precious thing that exists, when in reality Jesus Christ is the most precious thing.
