Roads built in service of the Roman Empire
POPULARITY
In all the world, there are almost countless ways people try to find God. Some people are drawn to the mystical, while others chase after the practical. Does it work?God knew we would all look to fill the void in our spirits, the one put there when man first sinned. He also already knew what our escape route would be, the path back to Him.Romans 10:9–10 says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” The so-called “Roman Road” is in reality a face-to-face with the Living God. Jesus Christ Himself is our aim, and our benefactor. He loved us so much that He offered Himself as a sacrifice for sin. It's very simple really. God accepted the sacrifice and raised His precious Son from the dead. Now, it is there waiting for us to accept that great and priceless gift.Let's pray.Lord, we complicate things sometimes, but your salvation is a simple choice, and it is free. Blessed be your name forever and ever! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

We'll explore Acts 17:1-15 and see how different people responded to Paul's preaching. These responses are as relevant today as they were then. Let's delve into the decisions people made and how those decisions can impact our lives and faith journey.Episode Notes: Key Points:Decisions and Responses:Everyone makes a decision when they hear the message of the Bible. Some are persuaded, and some are not, but everyone decides.Paul's approach in Thessalonica involved reasoning, explaining, and proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.The responses were mixed: some believed and joined Paul and Silas, while others opposed and caused trouble.Thessalonica:Paul reasoned with the Jews in the synagogue, explaining and proving the necessity of the Messiah's suffering and resurrection.The reactions varied: some Jews and many Greeks believed, while others were envious and incited a mob.Berea:The Bereans were more open-minded, eagerly receiving the message and examining the Scriptures daily to verify Paul's teachings.Many believed, including prominent Greek women and men, showing the importance of verifying teachings against the Scriptures.Handling Opposition:Those not persuaded in Thessalonica caused a riot, showing that rejection can sometimes lead to active opposition.Despite opposition, Paul and his companions continued their mission, moving to new places to preach the gospel.The Roman Road to Salvation:Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."Romans 10:9: "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."Reflection Questions:What decision have you made regarding the message of the Bible?How can you ensure your beliefs align with Scripture?Are you open-minded like the Bereans, eager to verify and understand the truth?How can you share the message of Jesus with others?Thank you for joining us today. I hope this episode challenges you to consider your response to the Bible and encourages you to share the good news with those around you. Remember, every decision matters, and your response can impact your life and eternity.Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
This week Dr. Crane presents how to use the book of Romans to help others understand what it means to follow Jesus, and to experience the salvation that God offers to all who believe.
Zenet Maramara is the founder and president of Christian Stewards in the Philippines. After Zenet became a born-again Christian in her thirties, she enrolled at a seminary where she stepped into a fundraising role. Wanting to master the art of fundraising, Zenet attended Regent University and there experienced a “second conversion” into biblical stewardship, understanding the principles of managing God's money for His Kingdom purposes in a way that is transformational to the giver, not just transactional. Zenet became passionate about advancing biblical stewardship education and has since built a multi-dimensional platform to empower the Filipino Church with generosity champions across the realms of business, ministry, and the local church. Christian Stewards has become a beacon of generosity in the Philippines and beyond, and Zenet had much wisdom to share. Major topics include: How Christian Stewards began The difference between transactional and transformational fundraising Articulating your theology in fundraising and stewardship Intentional integration of generosity and discipleship training Empowering business owners to share the gospel by integrating business and faith Steward-leadership theology Core beliefs for a conversion as a biblical steward The blessing and challenge of collaboration QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Whose money are you fundraising? Isn't it all God's money?” “It's not just about money. It's about the heart.” “Giving is a barometer for our spiritual condition, and money is a great way to test if we are fully surrendered to God.” “Fundraising is as spiritual as giving a sermon, a prayer, or going on a mission because you're helping people understand who they are and how to relate with the resources that God has entrusted to them.” “My vision is that every one of the 92,000 evangelical churches in the Philippines would have at least one generosity champion who will coordinate the teaching of generosity in their church.” “Business is the new ‘Roman Road' for the Gospel because we're in the marketplace more than we're in the church on Sunday.” “The steward-leader theology and practice is an upside-down leadership. Most leaders have the power, but a steward-leader shares the power, shares privilege, and shares in the purpose of the organization or company.” “If we hold lightly the material things that God has entrusted to us, then it is easier for us to listen to God when He calls us to move that resource to where it is most needed.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Christian Stewards The Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman) Stations of Generosity from the MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) Generous Church (see our interview with founder Patrick Johnson) Faith Driven Entrepreneur Rooting for Rivals (see our interview with author Peter Greer) Lausanne Movement The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

On the breeze, rich scents of hot Norfolk farmland. In the air, tiny wippling birds. Some swallows? Across the field, and across the next, a combine harvester large as a house. And quick as a car. It sails low over the far meadow, like a paddle steamer on a bright green sea. Standing on the Peddars Way, Lento box in hand, we've stopped to take in the heat, and to listen. Wide carpets of crickets are cricketing all around the meadow grass. They're happy. Baking like us, under a hot midday sun. We search for a tree. For a natural tripod. We scan the thickets that line this ancient route. It is quite a silent process, and the box swings gently. It's waiting for us to find it a good spot. The spot it needs is specific. An aural point in the landscape where everything meaningful can not just be heard but heard in a spatially balanced way. An aural meeting point where the box will "see" the whole landscape as a sound photograph. Eventually we find a very old oak tree completely covered in hairlike moss. It's amazing. Very carefully we rest the box between two intersecting boughs and check how the sound photograph is going to "look" through a pair of stereo headphones. Good we quietly say, providing this breeze doesn't ruffle the surrounding leaves too much. The weather seems fair and stable, so we leave the box to record alone. * We captured this sound-scene (our 100th unique location and 25th county) on Norfolk farmland on a hot July day. The old oak tree stands on the Peddars Way, a 49-mile National Trail which follows the route of a Roman Road. Tiny birds flit and flutter amongst the thickets under the wide sky where rumbles of distant military jets can sometimes be heard. A combine harvester is at work far right of scene. If you're able to hear high pitched crickets, their sound sometimes wafts in an out too from the meadow. Red kites overhead too. Thanks for listening, and to Lento supporters who've helped us to bring 100 UK landscape locations in high definition spatial sound to this free podcast service.

Imagine this: You're shipwrecked and find yourself on an island inhabited by Jewish people. Your New Testament is gone, sunk to the bottom of the ocean. All you have to share the story of the Messiah is the Old Testament. Could you share the Good News? Welcome to Episode 101 of The Jewish Road Podcast, where we dive into how to share the Good News of the Messiah using the Old Testament, or as it's known in Jewish tradition, the Tanakh. In this episode, we discuss how the so-called "Roman Road" may not resonate with Jewish people, as it leads to a spiritual dead end for them. Instead, we introduce you to The Jewish Road – a path paved with Old Testament scriptures pointing to the Messiah. Learn how these ancient texts show the Good News in a way that connects deeply with Jewish hearts and minds. Equip yourself with knowledge and confidence to share the Messiah's story from the Tanakh. It's not just good news - it's the story of hope and salvation! Join us for a journey back to the roots, where the message of the Messiah shines brightly through the Old Testament. Get ready to walk The Jewish Road.

Romans chapter 10 is often called the “Roman Road of Salvation”. When saying this, most are thinking about the way we get to heaven, or eternal salvation. In this message, Brother Luke looks at the true meaning of Romans 10, within the context of the Apostle’s Paul foundation laid in the previous 9 chapters. When …
Episode 244 discusses Romans 8:1. As we READ, we can see that our sins are forgiven once and for all, and there is freedom in Jesus. There is no more death sentence for us who are believers in Christ Jesus. Thank you, God! Those who are in Christ Jesus no longer have to feel guilt and shame. **Burden lifted** thanks to God. This gift is available to you now! CLICK FOR FULL SHOW NOTES The path to becoming a Christian is simple, yet somehow we complicate it unnecessarily. Our Roman Road Mini Series helps you understand the decision you make when you decide to follow Jesus. We've created five episodes that walk you through scripture in the book of Romans that all point back to “road to salvation.” The phrase “Roman Road” is just a catchy way of saying “a group of verses from the book of Romans that show you a simplified path to salvation” in the Christian faith.

Maybe you've heard of "The Way of the Master," or "The Roman Road:" memorized ways that seek to teach us how to share the good news of Jesus to people we meet in the world.But what if the person you meet has never even heard of God. They have no familiarity with any of that "Bible" stuff at all. Does the conversation look the same? Do you stick to the "plan" or have to go another direction? Townsend and Preacher Man look to muse on that exact topic in this episode and both come away with an answer that may not be what you think.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

Episode 243 discusses Romans 10:9. As we READ, we see that there is an element of salvation that says we need to openly declare our faith. Becoming a Christian is personal, but it's not private. Yes, a heart change happens, and telling others about this decision can be intimidating. God will give you a holy confidence to speak His name.

Episode 242 discusses Romans 5:8. As we READ, we see that even though we sin against God, He still sent Jesus Christ to pay the price. Since Jesus died on the cross to save us from hell, we can accept this free gift, and spend eternity with Him. This is the ultimate act of love. No matter how much we mess up, God would make the same sacrifice again and again. How mind blowing is that?!

Episode 241 discusses Romans 6:23. As we READ, we can see that this verse reiterates Romans 3:23. Since there cannot be sin in Heaven, we are, by default, bound to eternity without God unless the price is paid. Thank you, God, for the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ! As Christians, we know that we'll get to be with God forever because Jesus is the one who paid the price for our sins.

Episode 240 discusses Romans 3:23 and how we all fall short of God's standards. As we use our Read Pray Talk Tell method, we can see that no matter what we do, we still aren't worthy of eternity in Heaven.
