The Righteous Judge - Bro Mark

Open Bible Baptist Church is a King James Bible Believing Church in Sydney, Australia. We still sing the old fashioned hymns and have sound preaching from the Bible! The sermon centers on the transformative power of divine righteousness, rooted in God’s covenantal promise to write His laws on the hearts and minds of His people, as revealed in Hebrews 10:16 and Jeremiah 31:33. It emphasizes that righteousness—defined as divine holiness, justice, and faithfulness—is not merely a legalistic standard but a living reality in the believer’s life, made possible through Christ’s imputed righteousness and the indwelling Holy Spirit. The preacher underscores that while believers are freed from the law of sin and death, they remain accountable before Christ at the judgment seat, where their works, words, and love for God and neighbor will be evaluated according to the two great commandments. The tone is both urgent and pastoral, calling for continual repentance, humility, and obedience, warning that unconfessed sin and self-righteousness will lead to profound shame, while faithfulness in small things and a heart aligned with God’s law will result in eternal reward. The message culminates in a call to immediate response: to walk in the light, confess sin, and honor Christ as King, for the opportunity to be cleansed and made righteous is available now, not at a future judgment.

This is because they grew weary of being in churches which just used the KJV and claimed they believed it only to have the pastors and teachers claim later it had errors and contradictions. The group then sought out a pastor and meeting place. In a short time God provided both! The group contacted and visited Pastor John Wheat in Queanbeyan NSW who believed the Bible and had started a Bible believing Baptist church there. After this group of believers shared their heart and vision, God called Pastor John Wheat to Sydney to help establish the church there. Pastor Wheat turned the church in Queanbeyan over to a young man he had trained in the ministry and moved to Sydney where Open Bible Baptist Church was formed. God called Pastor Wheat home to heaven after pastoring the church for 10 years. Pastor Jason Young was saved at the age of 15 and called to preach at 17. He surrendered to go to Bible school shortly afterwards and attended and graduated from Pensacola Bible Institute. Upon graduating God dealt with his heart about going to the mission field. In 2006 he came to Australia to visit and help out on the mission field. While he was there God confirmed in his heart the call to Australia. After ministering in Australia for 8 years God called him to be our Pastor in 2014. #Baptist, #Dispensationalism, #KJV, #PREACHING, #dispensationalist
