God has planned for us to live by His grace. We hope that the following studies contribute to that end.
First Baptist Church of Royal City
Why do some believers lack strength in their Christian life? How can strong believers help them?
What is the mystery connected with Christ indwelling believers?
We look at Romans 16:25-27. We consider where these verses should be placed in Romans and then the significance of God's role in stabilizing believers.
We should look out for our brothers and sisters in Christ. We need to understand how salvation has freed us to love rather than freeing us to pursue our earthly interests.
To understand our salvation, we must understand what God saved us from. This is a continued study on depravity or man's lost condition.
Paul wrote expressed a key truth with a condition. Does this condition throw doubt on the salvation of some people?
How should we respond to believers who have "legalistic" ideas? When we stand before God's judgment seat, what will we say?
What is the nature of Christ's resurrections? We'll look at three facts the help us understand Christ's resurrection. There are many reasons Christ arose. We'll look at four.
In order to understand salvation, we need to understand our lost state.
The fullness settled down in Christ. Christ reconciled us through His death.
To appreciate the scope of our salvation, we need to understand our sinful state from which God saved us.
How should we respond to believers who think differently about certain activities: what we can eat, should we observe days?
Jesus is Head of the body. Many confuse headship with Lordship. What's the difference and why it matters to us.
God has a desirous will for the believer's life. How can we know His will?
What is depravity and why is it important for understanding salvation?
God has a decree and a will for the believer. How do we know that will?
How should we respond to those who oppose us or are hostile toward us? What we do says something to others.
Christ is preeminent for He is the Creator of all things.
Paul connected our redemption in Christ with our being placed into the kingdom of His beloved Son. This study considers the idea of redemption and what it provides the believer.
Serving in the body requires love. Romans 12:9 and following give us a picture of what love looks like and what it isn't.
Loving other believers requires that we live at peace with them but also with all people.
God wants us to know His will. He also wants us to know how to do His will.
Chapters 12-15 are about helping believers who are struggling to appreciate God's promises of security. We can help them by using our spiritual gift with a proper attitude.
We look at Paul's introduction and thanks to God for the Colossians in 1:1-8.
The fifth section in Romans is Helping Struggling Believers. If we're mature, God wants us to play a positive role in helping immature believers grow. This begins by presenting our bodies to Him.
Paul warns Gentiles against an arrogant attitude about the Jews. God has a plan. When we understand it, it will cause us to worship Him.
Josh concludes his study on our position, looking at implications of our position in the Pastoral Letters.
We survey the idea of our position in Christ in the Pastoral Letters.
As we introduce our new study in Colossians, we begin with an overview, walking through the major themes and problems.
In a few passages, our New Testaments have "holy" for a different Greek word. Does this word genuinely mean "holy" or does it have a different sense?
Josh leads us through a study of God's providence in evil circumstances.
God has desires for how we should suffer. How does this fit with common views of God's nature?
Josh walks us through a series of verses demonstrating God's work through time in our salvation.
What is the place of Israel in God's present plan? Is the cultivated olive tree Israel or is it something else?
Christ and God are working to set us apart and guarantee that we will be set apart when we arrive in heaven.
Josh walks us through some of Paul's travels after Acts but related in the Pastoral Epistles. These help us see the development in Paul's teaching.
Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles. So, how did he see this affecting His relationship with Israel?
Confession with one's mouth and calling on the name of the Lord need to be understood in context, otherwise we are adding to the simple good news and the simple response to the good news.
We review Paul's apostolic trips and when he wrote books during this time. This helps lead the way to his later writings.
How does a believing spouse cause an unbelieving spouse to be set apart? How can we be a holy vessel to serve?
Why did Israel not know about God's righteousness? How did Christ end law as a means of righteousness? Must we confess Jesus as Lord to be saved?
Josh leads us in the study in Ephesians by looking at different themes that help us understand what God is doing.
Does God love everyone? Why does the answer to this question matter?
God made a decree? What is a decree? Why is it helpful for us to know that He made a decree?
Is God the Father an angry God? Scripture refers to Him as the source of grace and peace?
The Trinity made a decree. That decree includes the plans for the Son to become human, die, and rise again.
This study covers Galatians chapters one through three, noting the theme of Galatians and how it ties to our position in Christ.
The Holy Spirit was involved in the Son's incarnation.
