In Romans 1:18–23, Paul reveals a sobering truth: God's wrath is not random but is His holy and loving response to humanity's sin. Though God has clearly made Himself known in creation, we suppress the truth, exchange His glory for idols, and stand without excuse. Yet into this hopeless condition, the gospel breaks in—God not only revealed His righteousness but entered the story Himself, not as Judge alone but as Redeemer. This passage calls us to face our sin honestly and to turn in worship to the only One worthy of it: the Creator who saves.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events

Peace often feels fragile, easily broken by conflict or pride. Yet Scripture reminds us it's not accidental, it's something we pursue. In Romans 12, Paul shows us how to walk in peace that begins with God and flows into our relationships. True peace is more than the absence of conflict; it is the presence of Christ shaping how we think, speak, and treat others.

We know that humans and animals groan. In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul tells us that Creation is also groaning. Pastor Dan introduces us to the Greek word sustenazó - a collective groan - and talks about what we might do about Creation groaning.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Just like the physical world is governed by laws of nature, the spiritual world is also governed by laws of the spirit. In our study today, James tells us that the law of sin and death begins with the bait of temptation.Before we engage in this study of temptation, James reminds us of this very important point in verse 13, Let no man say when he is tempted (to commit sin), I am tempted of God (to commit sin): for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. Believe it or not, there are 3 things that God cannot do. (1) God cannot lie (2) God cannot be tempted with evil (3) God cannot fail to keep His promises. And one of those precious promises is given to us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. "Sin would be helpless if there was nothing in man to which it could appeal. This means that Adam was created innocent, not perfect. You and I are not born innocent. Psalm 51:5 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." All mankind after Adam is born with a flesh nature that is prone to evil desires, whether you are a Christian or not.Beloved, listen carefully…temptation in itself is not sin. We do not sin until we conceive the bait into our minds and carry the temptation out. If you follow the context of Hebrews 4:14–16, God's way out of temptation is found in fleeing to our great high priest, The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, Who will give us grace to help in time of need. Praise God for that!When, not if, we are being tempted, we need to remember that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. We also need to remember that 1 Cor 10:13 tells us that there is a way out. Thus, whenever you are being tempted today (to lie, to gossip, to lust, to brag), agree with God's Word and look for God's exit sign!James is writing to believers like you and me about the reality of the source and root cause of all temptation and sin. This evil desire that resides in each and every one of us here today is something that will either be nourished or resisted. In Romans 6, God tells us that our bodily members are to be reckoned dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God. The Spirit of God is telling us this evening that when we understand the source of temptation and the enemy's objective in baiting us with it, we can walk in victory as we yield ourselves to God and resist the temptation.May we hear what God says to us today, and may we see how we can walk in victory, not sinless perfection, by grace, through faith in The Lord Jesus Christ.

The Gospel is more than forgiveness—it's the restoration of broken relationships and the invitation into God's family. In Romans 5, we see that while we were still powerless and separated from Him, Christ moved first in love to restore what our sin had broken. True reconciliation with God transforms our lives and overflows into our relationships with others.

Have you ever wondered what God truly knows about you—the things no one else can see, even the secrets buried deep in your heart? In Romans 2:1–4, Paul reminds us that one day God will judge the hidden motives of people. In today's teaching episode, we'll explore why His judgment is perfectly fair, how it shows our need for grace, and what it means to live honestly before Him.

In Romans 9 we see God's unconditional election clearly revealed in the Bible, and we are stirred to humility, worship, gratitude, and hope as we reflect on our own salvation and prayerfully seek the salvation of others.

In Romans 12:3-9, immediately after Paul calls Christians to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, Paul gives specific teaching about the distinctive “why” we serve others.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

In Romans 10:6-13, Paul makes it clear, salvation is not about works, striving, or religious zeal. It's about believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. When God gets hold of a heart, everything changes. We are transformed from the inside out, set free, made new, and filled with His Spirit.This message unpacks what it means to truly be born again, to live a Spirit-driven life, and to walk in the freedom of salvation through Christ alone. Pastor Jamie also addresses the reality of the brokenness in our world, the tragedies, violence, and evil we've witnessed, and points us back to the truth: the issue isn't politics or weapons, it's the condition of the human heart.

This week Tom Scrivens unpacks why beauty - from blazing sunsets to starry skies - makes us pause and wonder. What if that awe is not just coincidence but a signpost pointing us to something more? In Romans chapters 1 to 3 we see the Apostle Paul lay out the uncomfortable truth that every one of us deep down knows there is a God, but all have suppressed the knowledge of Him and have run after other things, leading to much brokenness in our world. It's a bleak picture, but in laying out the bad news so clearly, the good news will shine all the more.

We all know the battle between the person we want to be and the choices we actually make. In Romans 7, Paul names this inner war — and shows us that freedom doesn't come by hiding our sin, but by bringing it into the light. In this message, we explore the power of confession in community and the rescue only Jesus can bring.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him…. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. Reflection Questions: Romans 7:21-25 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!... 1. In Romans 7, Paul describes his internal battle with sin. How would you describe your own battle to overcome sin in your life? 2. Paul uses the term “flesh” to describe what we are battling against. How would you define “flesh” as Paul uses it in the Bible? 3. The battle is between our flesh and the Spirit. Paul says the battleground is the MIND. Why is the mind so important? How does sin often start in our mind(thoughts)? Explain. Romans 8:13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 4. How can we put to death sin in our life by the power of the Holy Spirit? John 16:8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong (conviction) about sin and righteousness and judgment… Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 5. What is the difference between Conviction and Condemnation? Why is conviction a good thing and condemnation a bad thing? How can we experience conviction while at the same time not experience condemnation? 6. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “flesh”? Describe. Give examples. 7. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “Spirit”? What are things that the Spirit draws our attention to? 8. What is your mind set on? How can we know what our mind is set on?

As Paul launches into the core of his letter, he spends a good deal of time laying out the human condition. In other words, he unpacks the bad news that makes the good news of the Gospel so incredibly good. In Romans 1:18-32, Paul unloads the way humanity spirals away from God. The pattern is this: they exchange one thing for another, and God gives them over to it. First, they exchange worshiping God for worshiping idols, and God gives them over (lets them willingly slide into) sinful desires and sexual sin. Then they spiral deeper, exchanging truth for a lie, and God gives them over further to unnatural sexual expression. The final levels of the spiral down involve humanity exchanging knowing God for a debased mind, whereas God gives them over to unrighteousness and the approval of evil. That very bottom is relational brokenness—and we see it all over in our culture. In chapter 1, Paul is giving us a view out the “window” into our culture, but then he pulls out a “mirror” in chapter 2, where we're forced to confront the same sin and suppression of God's truth in our own lives. As humanity suppresses God's truth, it spirals toward relational brokenness… Will we (as Jesus's church) reflect the same brokenness? Or will repent and share the Gospel in love? Before we can effectively bring the good news to the brokenness outside our window, we need to look in the mirror and deal with our own brokenness.

Life on mission starts with surrender. In Romans 12:1–2, Paul calls us to lay down our whole selves, resist the pull of the world, and allow God to transform us from the inside out. In this message, we explore what it means to live as a “living sacrifice,” to daily renew our minds, and to walk in the good purpose God has prepared for us.

In Romans 2, the apostle Paul flips the script—reminding us that no one escapes God's judgment, not even the moral, religious, or self-righteous. Outward religion, Bible knowledge, or good intentions aren't enough; God is after a transformed heart. In this episode, we'll explore how integrity matters when no one is watching, why knowing God's Word isn't the same as living it, and how true faith flows from the inside out. Join us as we unpack this powerful chapter and discover what it means to live unashamed of the gospel, with a heart fully surrendered to God.

Worship is often thought of as something that happens in a church building on a Sunday morning. We sing, we pray, and we listen to God's Word. All of that is truly worship, but it is only a small part of what God desires from His people. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul reminds us that worship is not confined to a place or a moment. Instead, worship is the offering of our entire lives to God. He calls us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to the Lord. This is not an occasional act, but a continual posture of surrender and devotion.To worship God with our whole lives means that what we do on Monday morning or Saturday evening matters just as much as what we do on Sunday morning. Our words, our work, our relationships, and even the choices we make when no one is watching are opportunities to glorify the Lord. Worship is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Today we will look at what it means to give God everything, to resist being shaped by the world, and to be transformed by His renewing grace.Series: Worship Sermon SeriesScripture: Romans 12:1-2Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

Evil isn't defeated by fighting fire with fire—it's conquered by living out radical, Spirit-filled goodness. In Romans 12:9–21, Paul calls us to real love, passionate service, patient hope, and a commitment to blessing even those who wrong us. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that the cross looked like defeat, but Jesus showed us the way to overcome evil—with good.

Paul's anguish over unbelieving Israel was made more painful when he thought of all the unique privileges and blessings that they possessed. The question hanging in the air is “Has God's word failed? Can we trust God?” In Romans 9:1-13, Paul launches into the basis of election: an explanation of the doctrines of unconditional election and divine sovereignty over human willing. Paul argues for God's faithfulness in His sovereign election of Israel. He aims to vindicate God's righteousness.  God's word has NOT failed! Our faithful God has kept, is keeping and WILL keep his promises!

Back in 1918, a boy named Howard Loomis was abandoned by his mother at Father Flanagan’s Home for Boys, which had opened just a year earlier. Howard had polio and wore heavy leg braces. Walking was difficult for him, especially when he had to go up and down steps. Soon, several of the Home’s older boys were carrying Howard up and down the stairs. One day, Father Flanagan asked Rueben Granger, one of those older boys, if carrying Howard was hard. Rueben replied, “He ain’t heavy, Father…he’s my brother.” In Romans 15, Paul continues to encourage the Roman church to “bear the weakness of those without strength.” He puts the burden on the strong to welcome, show grace and even carry their brothers and sisters in Christ who are continuing to grow in their faith. That’s not the world’s way. In the world might makes right. The mighty and strong bully people into their position. But not in the church. We bear one another’s burdens. We don’t just put up with our brother; if needed we carry him. We willingly lay down our rights and responsibilities to serve the body. And the burdens we carry and the sacrifices we make are always light as we remember, “He’s not heavy, he is my brother.” I look forward to seeing you this weekend as we continue and near the end of our study in Romans. This weekend we will also participate in the ordinance of communion and remember the sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray you will make the decision today to join us for one of our many weekend worship opportunities. In Christ, Pastor Chad McDonald

Overcome evil with good: that's God's vision for His people; for His Church. In Romans 12, we begin to see that God is calling us to something bigger, simpler, and broader than we could imagine. In response to His sacrificial mercy and love, we're called to be a gathered people who overcome evil with good.

What's really wrong with the world and why does it seem so hard to fix? In Romans 3:15–18, the apostle Paul shows us a difficult but necessary truth: the problem isn't just around us; it's inside us. This episode reveals the sobering reality of human depravity. People rush toward violence. They break trust, destroy relationships, and live without peace or reverence for God. Stephen Davey walks you through these verses to uncover why people live destructively and why peace is so rare. You'll see that sin isn't just an action. It's a path, and most of the world is walking it without even realizing where it leads. Paul calls it “the road most traveled,” and it ends in destruction. But even in this bleak picture, there's hope. Understanding the problem is the first step toward embracing the solution. This episode prepares your heart for the message of redemption that comes next in Romans. If you've ever asked why our world is so broken, or if you're searching for peace with God, this episode will help you see both the cause of our unrest and the only cure. The road to peace isn't found in trying harder. It's found in trusting Christ.

Are you overdue for a spiritual check-up? If you’ve been wondering how to know if you’re growing spiritually or what the Bible says about renewing your mind, this devotional will help you reflect on your faith and realign your heart with God’s Word. In Romans 12:2, Paul reminds us not to conform to the world’s standards but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Yet, it’s easy to compare ourselves to others—whether friends, celebrity Christians, or social media influencers—instead of measuring our hearts against Scripture. Drawing from Paul’s humility and honest self-reflection, this devotional encourages us to stop competing, stop comparing, and start aligning our lives with God’s standards. True spiritual growth comes when we consistently examine ourselves and allow Scripture—not the culture around us—to shape our transformation. ✨ Highlights Why spiritual check-ups matter — Regularly examine your faith, attitudes, and heart alignment with God’s Word (2 Corinthians 13:5). Comparison is a trap — Measuring ourselves against others can lead to pride, shame, or complacency. Paul’s example of humility — Despite his influence, Paul called himself the “worst of sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15), reminding us we all need grace. Renewing the mind — Transformation begins when we filter our thoughts, habits, and actions through God’s Word rather than worldly standards. Pressing toward the goal — Focus on Jesus and the calling He’s placed on your life, not the noise around you (Philippians 3:14).

Why does the world feel like it's coming apart at the seams? Why is peace so elusive in homes, cities, countries, and hearts? In Romans 3:15–18, the apostle Paul delivers a devastating description of the human condition. He says the problem isn't just external. It's not just injustice, conflict, or crime. The core issue is internal: humanity is sinful, selfish, and spiritually lost. Stephen Davey explores this sobering passage to help you understand what's behind the chaos in the world; and in your own life. You'll learn that sin isn't just what people do. It's what drives them. It destroys relationships, fuels violence, and leaves people empty, restless, and defiant toward God. But this message doesn't end in despair. It prepares you for the solution. God sees the ruin and offers deliverance. These verses are part of the Bible's argument for why everyone; regardless of background, behavior, or religion; needs redemption through Jesus Christ. If you've ever felt disillusioned by the world or burdened by your own guilt, this episode will clarify both the problem and the path forward. You'll discover that peace isn't found on the road most traveled. It's found on the road that leads to the Prince of Peace.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk and the impact he had in challenging and shaping his thinking. His violent death grieves and angers God, as all violence does, reminding us of how broken our world truly is. In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that in times like this, when our souls groan with sorrow, the Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for us with prayers too deep for words. This gives us both comfort and hope, knowing God is with us even in our grief.

Each believer has been uniquely equipped by God with spiritual gifts meant to build up the body of Christ. In Romans 12:5-8, Paul emphasizes that every gift matters equally—whether serving, teaching, encouraging, or leading. Our call is not to compare but to faithfully use what God has entrusted to us. In today's prayer and devotional, Laura Bailey reminds us that awakening our spiritual gifts often begins with noticing the needs around us and asking the Holy Spirit to empower us to respond. When we live this way, we reveal Christ’s love, glorify God, and experience the joy of serving in unity with others. Even children can learn this truth. As Laura shared with her daughters, embracing each other’s strengths helps us see the beauty of God’s design for the body of Christ. Our gifts were never meant to be hidden; they are meant to be shared. Today's Bible Reading: "So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” – Romans 12:5-8, NIV Key Takeaways Every believer has spiritual gifts given by God’s grace for the benefit of the whole body. No gift is more valuable than another—each has purpose in God’s design. The Holy Spirit equips us for needs in the moment, sometimes beyond our natural strengths. Serving with our gifts is an act of worship, pointing others to Jesus. Let’s Pray Heavenly Father, thank You for creating us uniquely and entrusting us with spiritual gifts. Help us embrace these gifts with joy and diligence, using them to serve others and glorify You. Forgive us for comparing or criticizing instead of celebrating how You’ve made each of us. Lead us to action, working in unity with others, so that the world may see Your love on display. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily encouragement.

The average person speaks about 50,000 words a day. Roughly the length of a small book. But how much of that is worth reading?

They're evidence of an angry, unredeemed heart. But this message doesn't stop at the problem. It offers hope for change. You'll discover how a heart touched by grace leads to speech seasoned with grace. Whether in the workplace, at home, or in church, your words can become a source of healing and help.

Romans 6:22 — It should be unthinkable to the Christian to return to their old life. In Romans 6:22, Paul emphasizes a depiction of what it is like to be in Christ Jesus and it is a simple argument to those who consider themselves a Christian. In the sermon from Romans 6:22 titled “Servants of Sin,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones underlines that a Christian is one who has undergone a profound change, because only a Christian can truly discuss a true difference between their past and present. That is because a Christian has been set free from sin. God regenerates and creates the Christian anew. A Christian has the power to resist the devil while a non-Christian does not. Sin becomes just a nuisance in the daily life, not a master. Once a Christian grasps that they are now enslaved to God and righteousness, they realize that they truly have no right to continue on sinning. The result of this great change is a fruitful life in Christ. If there is no fruit, one is not truly a Christian. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages the listener to analyze their life and actions to determine if they are living in a fruitful life as slaves to righteousness.

What if I told you that every person you pass today has an I.O.U. with your name on it? Not for money, not for favors, but for love. In Romans 13:8–10, Paul says there's one debt you'll never pay off—the debt to love others. Every handshake, every encounter, every neighbor, even every enemy is a reminder: I owe you love. It's the one bill that never comes due, because it's always owed.But here's the twist: Paul wrote those words to Christians in Rome who were misunderstood, mocked, and later even martyred under Nero's cruelty. And still, the call remained—love does no harm to a neighbor; love fulfills God's law. What does it mean to live with love as your only debt in a world that doesn't always love you back? This Sunday we'll discover how the gospel turns an obligation into an opportunity, a burden into a blessing, and why love is the most radical resistance to a broken world. Hosted on Acast.

In Romans 3:12, the apostle Paul continues his list of indictments against humanity with a sobering claim: “All have turned aside.” That one phrase reveals the spiritual condition of every person: deliberate defiance, willful wandering, and increasing moral decay. In this episode, Stephen Davey explains how sin doesn't just happen to us. It's the path we choose. We avoid the truth, we redefine goodness, and we substitute spiritual imitation for genuine repentance. Whether it's the prodigal son feeding pigs or a modern culture redefining evil as good, the pattern hasn't changed. But neither has God's mercy. The truth hurts, but it also heals. This lesson prepares the way for understanding the beauty of salvation by helping you see just how far we've all gone from the path; and how far God has gone to bring us back.

In Romans 12:13, we're reminded: “Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Just like mangroves standing strong together against the waves, we're called to meet the needs of others—offering food, companionship, encouragement, or simply a listening ear. In this episode, we reflect on how true hospitality strengthens both the giver and the receiver, and how God designed us to hold each other up when the storms of life hit hardest.CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Romans 6:19 — Just as children grow up to become adults, so too new believers will grow up in Christ. As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones describes in the sermon from Romans 6:19 titled “The Infirmity of the Flesh,” Paul uses an illustration. It is rare for Paul to tell a story or use an analogy, but he chose to do so by relating that Christians are now slaves to righteousness instead of slaves to sin. In Romans 6:19, he clarifies by saying, “I speak after the manner of men.” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that this specific verse is Paul explaining why he uses an illustration to make his subject matter simple and clear. Dr. Lloyd-Jones remarks that this should be the only use of illustrations for any teacher or preacher of the Bible. Paul also notes that he only used the illustration so that others would not misunderstand what he was saying. He wants to emphasize that righteousness combines both slavery and freedom: slavery to righteousness but a freedom from the reign of sin. Paul chose to use an illustration because some of his listeners are still children in a sense of Christianity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones goes on to warn that believers should never stay children of the word of God only drinking milk, but instead should constantly be growing and maturing to take in the meat of the gospel.

In Romans 1:1, Paul reminds us what it means to be set apart for the gospel — living fully surrendered to Christ and committed to sharing the good news with others. Laura Bailey reflects on Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle and challenges us to examine our own willingness to share the gospel, even when it feels uncomfortable. Like Paul, we are called to let our lives reflect God’s grace and boldly carry the message of salvation to those who need to hear it. ✨ Highlights What Romans 1:1 teaches about living a life set apart for Christ Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle and its powerful testimony Why sharing the gospel message requires faith, courage, and obedience How our stories can point others to God’s grace and salvation A reminder that we’re responsible for sharing the message, not controlling the response

Romans 1:1-17 | The Righteousness of God | Johnny Kurcina | September 7, 2025 In the letter to the Romans, Paul writes about the gospel of God, the very power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, in which the righteousness of God is revealed. In Romans he teaches us that what God does […]

Welcome to Episode #182 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our sixth of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [2]. Today's episode, our sixth in this second mini-series on the Day of the Lord, will address what Paul may have meant when he said in Romans 11:26, “All Israel Will Be Saved.”The salvation of “ALL” that is Israel is central to the return of Jesus Christ on the Day of the Lord. Let's look at the context of the statement by Paul from Romans 11:25-32 – I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.In Romans 11, Paul is closing a can of worms of the doctrinal issue that has severely divided the Church since the Reformation. Paul began Chapter 9 expressing anguish over his own people, the Jews, who were rejecting the gospel of Jesus. He then went on from Chapter 9 through 11 to point out the reason for their rejection. In these three chapters, the Holy Spirit had Paul lay a clear doctrinal landmine that has been picked up by theologians of every generation who have used it in an attempt to blow up unity within the body of Christ. We are not going to look at that today.Paul made it clear at the opening of his letter to the Romans where the Jews stood in terms of the Gospel. Romans 1:16-17 –  For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.Here's the key before we go any further. All mankind is born into sin and death. All people, nations, tribes, languages, etc., Jew and Gentile alike stand condemned before God unless redeemed by the Lamb.The reason Jews and Gentiles alike are repulsed from each other is the dividing wall of hostility between us, which is the Law with its ordinances and regulations (See Eph 2:14-16). Let me see if I can summarize it such that I can continue without getting bogged down. This topic, by the way, is critical in understanding who we are in Christ and our relationship to the Father. But I digress. After the flood, when the nations rebelled at Babel, God chose one man from among the nations, Abram, and covenanted with him to give him a people, a land, and a seed who would bless all nations. The people were the descendants of Jacob, his grandson, whose name God changed to Israel.

Will I make it? This is the question many of us are asking right now as new seasons begin—work has started, classes have started, and the weight of responsibilities feels heavy. In Romans 8:28, Paul reminds the church that God is working all things together for good. Even when circumstances look uncertain, God is not distant—He is actively at work in this very moment. And the promise we hold onto is this: the same God who began the work will be faithful to finish it. Message Delivered: 8/31/25

Do you have difficulty expressing thanks to people? Many do. But what about expressing thanks to God? Scripture tells us this is not only important, it's essential. In Romans 1:20–21, we see a warning against neglecting to thank God:

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that religious knowledge and practice mean nothing if our lives don't align with what we claim to believe, since hypocrisy ultimately dishonors God. In Romans 2:17–24, he shows that Jews and Gentiles alike—no matter how religious—still need the gospel of Christ, because only His righteousness can save.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 31, 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

Send me a Text Message!In Romans 8 we find that creation groans, (travails) we groan, even the Spirit of God groans in expectancy. See when we dive into the gospel and begin to understand the glory that awaits those who believe in Christ, we can't help but groan for those who don't. The gospel causes us to groan for the redemption of all creation. It causes us to travail for the salvation of all people. It causes to groan for glory to be revealed in our families, on our campus, in our city. So let me ask you, "Are we willing to travail in prayer? Travailing prayer is not something you just work up. It requires hope, humility and hunger. Which one needs the most work in you; hope, humility or hunger? 

Romans 6:3 — In this sermon on Romans 6:3 titled “Union with Christ,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones breaks down several thoughts or viewpoints concerning baptism, including the Catholic and Protestant views. In addition, he also discusses several views within each belief. In Romans 6:3, it almost seems like Paul is stating that baptism into Christ is baptism in His death. Dr. Lloyd-Jones warns that if one is stumbling over specifics in the varying viewpoints, they could potentially miss the glories that baptism represents. The most glorious aspect of baptism is that Christians are in Christ and He is in them. The saved were once in Adam and dead because of sin, but their union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection is shown through baptism. This means that the final salvation is guaranteed. Whatever viewpoint is held, the Christian must always acknowledge that they are literally united with Christ and baptism shows a united nature with Him.
