Speaker | Dr. Jim Bradford ROMANS 5-8: GOSPEL POWER - Our Suffering and God's Love Sunday May 25, 2025 Sermon Slides | YouVersion |

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceWe live in a self-made echo chamber—God's voice is loud in creation, but we plug our ears and call it silence. The problem isn't that we don't know the truth; it's that we don't want it.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on May 18, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Speaker | Pastor Carter McDaniel ROMANS 5-8: GOSPEL POWER - Peace With God Sunday May 18, 2025 Sermon Slides | YouVersion

2 Corinthians 4:7-12

John 17:20-26

On Mother's Day, we reflected on the kind of love that never gives up...the love of God. In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. The Greek word used for “separate” is chorizo, which means to divide, cut off, or pull apart. Life can make us feel that way. Shame, fear, suffering, or insecurity can leave us feeling distant from God. Like a piano that drifts out of tune over time, our hearts can drift too. Join us as special speaker Stacey Cutshall helps us take an honest look at the things that try to pull us away from God's love. Whether it's your past or something you're walking through right now, nothing can chorizo you from the love of Jesus. Even in suffering, we can hold on to hope, knowing we were made for something more. Let's throw off the shame and live like people who already know the final score; Jesus wins, and because of that, so do we.

There is a need for spiritual maturity in the Christian life. But how do we fulfill it? Paul answers that question for us.

Suffering isn't the end of the story. In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that our present pain, no matter how deep, isn't even worth comparing to the glory that's coming. From creation itself to our own hearts, everything is groaning for redemption. But this isn't a groan of death; it's the pain of labor. Something new is being born. This week, Pastor Jason Clarke reminds us that even when life feels broken, frustrating, or overwhelming, God is still at work. The Holy Spirit meets us right in our weakness, praying for us when we don't even know what to say. God isn't just bringing beauty out of ashes. He is using every single hardship to shape us into the image of Jesus. Your pain has a purpose. God's using it to shape something lasting in you.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceWe're comfortable talking about things that matter to us, as long as they don't come with risk or pushback—but most of those things won't change anyone's life. What about the gospel? Paul makes an extraordinary statement that challenges how we view its power and our willingness to speak about it.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 13, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Why is it so hard to do the right thing—even when we want to? In Romans 7, Paul gives voice to the tension we all feel: the battle between our flesh and The Spirit. There's a war going on inside us—and it's not just a matter of willpower. It's the reality of sin nature—something that was never meant to be there in the first place. But here's the truth: Sin isn't an identity to wear; it's an enemy to fight. What God designs for life, Satan tries to hijack for destruction. Left unchecked, sin leads to shame, despair, and bondage. But through Jesus, we don't have to live under its control. Tune in as Romans 7 shows us how to stop surrendering to sin—and start making war.

Episode SummaryIn this opening episode of The Believer's Authority series, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen lays the biblical foundation for victorious Christian living. Drawing from Ephesians and Colossians, he explains how every believer is spiritually seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all demonic powers. This critical truth shifts the battlefield and shows young people that victory over the enemy is not only possible—it's already been won.Topics DiscussedTestimony of Pastor Marty Moon's salvation and call to preachThe believer's identification with Christ's death, resurrection, and ascensionWhat it means to be “seated in heavenly places” (Ephesians 2:6)The biblical reality that Satan is already defeated (Colossians 2:14-15)Understanding spiritual authority vs. spiritual powerThe necessity of submission to Christ in exercising His authority (James 4:7)A preview of the next steps: appropriation and actionKey TakeawaysYour spiritual position matters—you are in Christ, seated far above the enemy.You're not fighting for victory; you're fighting from victory.Satan is already defeated at the cross—you don't ask for victory; you claim it.Submission is the gateway to authority—you can only exercise Christ's authority when you're under it.Knowing truth is step one—appropriating and acting on it comes next.

What if the things you're chasing—success, approval, security—are actually holding you captive? What if true freedom isn't found in having more, but in surrendering all? Paul reminds us in Romans 6 that we are all slaves to something—whether sin or righteousness. The good news? Because of Jesus, we don't have to stay chained to sin. Join us as we explore what it means to offer our lives fully to God, not out of obligation, but as an act of worship. When we surrender, we don't lose. We gain a new identity, a new purpose, and the power to truly live!

Why is our world marked by pain, suffering, and death? Paul answers this question in Romans 5 by tracing it back to one man—Adam. Through his sin, the curse entered the world, spreading brokenness to all. But that's not the end of the story.   Where Adam brought sin and death, Jesus brings grace and life. Through His perfect obedience, Jesus became the new and better Adam, reversing the curse and making a way for us to be made right with God. Tune in to hear His grace doesn't just match our sin—it overflows beyond it.  

What if, in our hardest seasons, when hope feels lost, God is already working? In Romans 4:18, Paul points to Abraham, who “against all hope, in hope believed.” His circumstances made God's promise seem impossible, yet he trusted anyway. Maybe you're in an “against all hope” season—struggling in your job, your marriage, or your faith. Maybe you feel stuck in sin or burdened by shame. But the good news is that faith isn't about working—it's about trusting. Like Abraham, we are invited to believe that God will do what He promised. Join us as our Youth Pastor Jordan explores what it means to trust God when the odds are against us. Because the same God who was faithful to Abraham is faithful to you.

Paul says, "My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me." What does it mean to have a clear conscience? What does it mean to reign with Christ? How do these two things interconnect?

Your life is a worship song—every choice, action, and word is an offering to God. Our bodies are the greatest instruments of worship. Living a life of service to Him is the greatest form of worship! Listen in as Jason unpacks Romans 12 and invites you to join Team Jesus. God wants you to join His team and He has gifted and wired you with a specific spot on His team.  Even when we serve behind the scenes, God sees and honors it. As we allow the holy spirit to transform us, we realize more and more what a privilege it is to worship the Lord with our life. We don't have to serve Him, we get to! So stop waiting on the sideline and get in the game. Join team Jesus today!

What if everything you believed about righteousness was wrong? In Romans 3, Paul reveals that the law was never meant to save—but to show our need for a Savior. The law is a mirror reflecting our brokenness, but Jesus shatters it, declaring our worth in Him. Join us as we unpack sin, grace, and the radical truth that salvation isn't earned—it's given.

The Gospel is not good advice.  It is not a seven step plan to healthy living. It is the power of God for salvation.  The Apostle Paul knew it first-hand and it made him unashamed to share it and believe it.This Good News changed everything for Paul and for many like him.

In Romans 1 Paul addresses our deep need for the Gospel by showing how humanity is united in our rejection of God. The wrath of God is revealed against all ungodliness and wickedness by handing us over to the desires of our hearts. This message challenges us to face the hard truths of sin and brokenness, but it also reminds us of the incredible hope found in Jesus. He bore the wrath of God on our behalf, so we could experience joy and redemption in Him. Join us as we reflect on the depth of God's grace and the life-changing truth of the gospel—a truth that transforms us now and secures our hope for eternity.

The Gospel in a Minute - "Gospel Power"

1 Peter 1:22-2:3 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you. 2:1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into sal-vation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Today's teaching is on enemy territory and the reality of spiritual warfare. In a fallen world the battle is not between people - it is between the Living God and the powers of darkness, It is between the Body of Christ and those under the spell of the devil. Ephesus was the center of worship of Artemis and also a hotbed of the occult, magic, eastern religions, drugs, alcohol and many of the same things we encounter in our world today. Ephesus is where Paul carried out some of his most important mission work and it is where God shows us some important lifetime truths through how He worked in Ephesus nearly 2000 years ago. Where we left off last week was with Paul spending two years teaching daily in the Hall of Tyrannus. Verse 10 of Acts chapter 19 tells us that all Jews and Greeks in the area heard the word of the Lord. Paul and others were training up believers to share their faith and so the Gospel message was shared all over Asia.   During Paul's time in Ephesus he experienced more push back than ever before. God was doing extraordinary miracles through Paul and many were healed physically but Paul was also casting out demons and healing people from spiritual illness. DIVINE POWER         We need to be connected to the Living God. Our faith is not to be a little bit of head knowledge, a song and a prayer. Our faith is to be life changing, it is to be the heart of who we are.         Because God was doing amazing miracles through Paul, news traveled that Paul was not only healing physically but also doing spiritual battle and that He was healing in the name of Jesus.         Ephesus was a town filled with evil but the DIVINE POWER of God was so obviously being displayed in the miraculous healings done in Jesus' name, that it caused the name of Jesus to be held in high honor and it caused a reaction of believers to openly confess what they had done as part of the evil in Ephesus. TAKE GOD SERIOUSLY         A massive move of God caused people to take Him very seriously.         Our faith molds and transforms us because we are delivered from bondage to sin and death. God offers deliverance from the power of the demonic and the things that can so easily destroy our lives. CLEANING HOUSE         People who had practiced sorcery burned their scrolls publicly and the word of the Lord continued to spread and grow in power.         as believers changed and non-believers become believers people grew and matured in their faith and suddenly began to realize they needed to do a house cleaning in their lives.         God's Holy Spirit is gracious and reveals things to us as we grow and mature in faith. We are not fully mature the moment we believe - It is a life-long process.         God's desire is that we clean house in our lives, in our homes, in anything that gets in the way of our love and worship of God, anything that controls us in ways that are dangerous and spiritually defiling.         With all the awakening to the reality of the Gospel Power of Jesus and the importance of a God-pleasing life of faith, those who didn't have that faith were began to try to stop all that was happening in Jesus' name. WORLD VIEWS COLLIDE         A worker who made silver shrines to Artemus was very concerned about his economic future in light of the amazing growth of Christianity. And so he spoke out publicly, drawing a crowd and the two sides began to collide. World views are colliding in our world today. The world view of our culture is:         All that matters is me         All that matters is what I want         All that matters is that you don't stand in my way and say anything to upset me. The world view of the Bible is:         All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God         God sent His one and only Son          The Living God took on flesh and brought life and forgiveness through His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection from the grave.         In Jesus there is life, forgiveness and power. The power to live a new life. And so their two world views clashed then and they are still clashing today. We are called not to fight with human weapons, but to recognize the reality of spiritual war and to use the weapons of the Holy Spirit:     Prayer     Trust in God     God's Word     The power of our testimonies Today's scripture reading ends with the whole city in an uproar - both sides shouting and many joining in the near riot. CROWD FOLLOWERS         It can be easy to just go along with the crowd         Yet God warns us not to follow the crowd. Exodus 23:2 says, “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.”         Wise words for us today!

The gospel isn't aspirational advice but the powerful work of God unto salvation. The gospel is God overpowering all that would rob His people of the fullness of life He has purchased for them in Christ Jesus. Any sin, impasse, addiction, or even Satan himself will not stop the strong arm of our ...

The gospel's good news is that God has provided a righteousness that guarantees our eternal joy. In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper rejoices over this news from Romans 1:16–17.
