Nothing Can Separate Us – Romans, Week 12
Romans 8:28-39 Last week, I showed you two reasons for hope in suffering: Our future glorification with Christ will outshine the darkness of any suffering in this life The Spirit strengthens us in our weakness, interceding for us in our place Here at the end of...
Present Hope, Future Glory – Romans, Week 11
Romans 8:17-27 We inherit all that Jesus inherits. It comes to us not so much through Christ as in Christ. Certainly, Paul at least means that we inherit the promises of God in the future. But it does not appear that this is all that Paul means. We not only inherit...
Awesome New Way of Living – Romans, Week 10
Romans 8:12-17 We do not owe the “old me apart from Christ” anything. Like the freed slave in Rom 6 and the wife whose husband died in Rom 7, we owe zero allegiance to the old master/husband. Our approach to God has been totally revolutionized. In who we were before...

The Righteousness of God Through Faith – Romans, Week 6
Romans 3:20-4:25 Last week we saw how God views humanity through different categories than we often do. God says that no one is righteous. You may be morally superior, but you are not righteous. That can only come from God Himself. And only righteous people can...
No One is Righteous- Romans, Week 5
Romans 2:25-3:31 We have covered Romans 1 and most of chapter 2 along with it. There we see the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul, laying out the basis for the Christian worldview. He tells a story of how humanity stopped acknowledging God, and this resulted...
