Nehemiah 6 Message: Michael MeadowsDate: March 6, 2020 Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates), Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm. And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leaveRead More → The post Nehemiah 6 appeared first on New Life Medina.

Children of the Promise (Romans 9:6-13)Message: Ted HallDate: February 23, 2020     But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” And not only so, but also whenRead More → The post Children of the Promise (Romans 9:6-13) appeared first on New Life Medina.

For The Sake of My Brothers (Romans 9:1-5)Message: Ted HallDate: February 16, 2020 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh,Read More → The post For The Sake of My Brothers (Romans 9:1-5) appeared first on New Life Medina.

Are You Sure? (Romans 8:18-39)Message: Ted HallDate: February 9, 2020 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in theRead More → The post Are You Sure? (Romans 8:18-39) appeared first on New Life Medina.

All In The Family (Romans 8:12-17)Message: Ted HallDate: February 2, 2020 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness withRead More → The post All In The Family (Romans 8:12-17) appeared first on New Life Medina.

A Light Shines In The Darkness (Romans 8:1-11)Message: Ted HallDate: January 26, 2020 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but accordingRead More → The post A Light Shines In The Darkness (Romans 8:1-11) appeared first on New Life Medina.

The Struggle Is Real (Romans 7:13-25)Message: Ted HallDate: January 19, 2020 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, IRead More → The post The Struggle Is Real (Romans 7:13-25) appeared first on New Life Medina.

The Law Is Holy (Romans 7:7-12)Message: Ted HallDate: January 12, 2020 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.

Released (Romans 7:1-6)Message: Ted HallDate: January 5, 2020 Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. Likewise, myRead More → The post Released (Romans 7:1-6) appeared first on New Life Medina.

The Free Gift Of Freedom (Romans 6:15-23)Message: Ted HallDate: December, 22, 2019 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have becomeRead More → The post Free Gift Of Freedom (Romans 6:15-23) appeared first on New Life Medina.

Walking In Newness (Romans 6:1-14)Message: Ted HallDate: December 15, 2019 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Living In Christ (Romans 5:12-21)Message: Ted HallDate: December 8, 2019 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much moreRead More → The post Living In Christ (Romans 5:12-21) appeared first on New Life Medina.

Having Peace With God (Romans 5:1-11)Message: Ted HallDate: December 1, 2019 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Count Us In (Romans 4:23-25)Message: Ted HallDate: November 24, 2019 But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also.

Guaranteed (Romans 4:16-17)Message: Ted HallDate: November 10, 2019 That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

Heir of the Promise (Romans 4:13-15)Message: Ted HallDate: November 3, 2019 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.

Footsteps of Faith (Romans 4:9-12)Message: Ted HallDate: October 27, 2019 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them asRead More → The post Footsteps of Faith (Romans 4:9-12) appeared first on New Life Medina.

Blessed Are The Forgiven (Romans 4:4-8)Message: Ted HallDate: October 20, 2019 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” (Romans 4:4-8 ESV)Read More → The post Blessed Are The Forgiven (Romans 4:4-8) appeared first on New Life Medina.

The Faith of Abraham (Romans 4:1-3)Message: Ted HallDate: October 13, 2019 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:1-11 ESV)Read More → The post The Faith of Abraham (Romans 4:1-3) appeared first on New Life Medina.

The Law of Faith (Romans 3:27-31)Message: Ted HallDate: October 6, 2019 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means!

Better Off? (Romans 3:9-20)Message: Ted HallDate: September 22, 2019 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written:“None is righteous, no, not one;no one understands;no one seeks for God.All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;no one does good,not even one.”“Their throat is an open grave;they use their tongues to deceive.”“The venom of asps is under their lips.”“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”“Their feet are swift to shed blood;in their paths are ruin and misery,and the way of peace they haveRead More → The post Better Off?

What Advantage? (Romans 3:1-8)Message: Ted HallDate: September 15, 2019 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,“That you may be justified in your words,and prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (IRead More → The post What Advantage? (Romans 3:1-8) appeared first on New Life Medina.

All Is Fair (Romans 2:12-29)Message: Ted HallDate: September 8, 2019 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

No Excuses (Romans 2:1-11)Message: Ted HallDate: September 1, 2019 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?Read More → The post No Excuses (Romans 2:1-11) appeared first on New Life Medina.

Abandoned By God (Romans 1:18-32)Message: Ted HallDate: August 25, 2019 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
