The Unrighteous Made Righteous

Guest Speaker: Dr. Bill Arp – AM Sermon

Scripture: Romans 3:21-26

How can God be established as righteous when He is declaring unrighteous people righteous? This is a very important question, and one that is answered by a thorough examination of the Apostle Paul’s explanation of righteousness by way of faith.

Renewing Your Mind

Paul Davies – PM Sermon

Scripture: Romans 12: 1-2

The Bible clearly instructs us to “Renew Our Mind”. It is a scriptural imperative. But where do we begin? How do we go about changing how and what we think about, especially as a new believer? God not only gives us the command to renew our minds but also provides the “way” and the “how” to do it. His Word provides the subject matter, the methodology, and the outcomes we can expect. We can no longer think in the ways non-believers think. We must learn the character and nature of God as expressed in His Son and the disciplines and practices of reading, studying and meditating in His Word in order to change our attitudes and actions.

Add. Ref.: Rom. 7:14-25; 12:9-12; 1 Cor. 1:10; 2 Cor. 2:16; Phil. 2:2; 4:8; 1 Pet. 1:13

America: A Religion of Lies (Part 2)

Pastor Matt Tarr

– Scripture: Romans 1:18-32

– In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of same sex marriage, many Christians might be asking what God has to say about the current situation in our country. We can look no further than Romans 1 to find the answer, as we come to understand that judgement is, in fact, not coming to America, but rather it has already come. The verdict has already been rendered by God and this most recent case is only evidence of that. With that in mind, we begin to examine three imperatives: 1) Our nation’s relationship to God, 2) The nature of society’s perversion, and 3) The Church’s response.

– Add. Ref.: Rom. 1:15-17; 1 Cor. 5:9-13; Ezekiel 37:1-6

NOTE: The listener is encouraged to listen to this message together with the preceding message (Part 1) for proper context.

NOTE: The listener is encouraged to listen to this message together with the following message (Part 2) for proper context.

Revenge and Wrath

Pastor Greg Lynch – An exposition of Romans 12:17-21 (incl. supplemental passages)

– An expository sermon in Romans 12 reveals the relation a Christian has with the subject of revenge and how to treat those who are persecuting us. The study of these passages also leads into a discussion of God’s wrath and judgment, two attributes of our Lord which are often overlook in favor of His love.

Living the Life

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:14-18 (incl. supplemental passages)

– When we become Christians, the Bible tells us that we can expect to see a radical change in our life as we begin to bear good fruit for God. As for an example of what this change looks like, we are required to look to the Scriptures. The 12th Chapter of Romans gives us a look at the marks of Christianity in our lives.

The Needs of the Saints

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:13 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Expositing the book of Romans brings us to a verse that is often times taken out of context and misapplied. However, there is a very important principle to be found within the context of this passage when the verse is properly applied. Said principle has to do with how we care for our brethren in need.

The True Church

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:9-12 (incl. supplemental passages)

– When a person puts their faith in Jesus Christ and becomes a Christian, they also become a member of God’s church and a part of the Lord’s family. An examination of Romans 12 and related passages shows us the ramifications of this new identity, and highlights our responsibilities as members of the Body.

Our Gifts and Our Responsibility

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:6-8 (incl. supplemental passages)

– With a proper knowledge and perspective of the grace gifts God gives us for use in service to Him and to each other, we must understand that with these gifts comes a responsibility not just that we use them, but that we use them properly. A deeper study of Romans 12 and supplemental passages informs us in the proper usage of these gifts.

Grace Gifts

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:3-8 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Each of the members of the church’s body has a function that is unique to them. In that spirit, God has bestowed grace gifts upon every believer to use in service to Him and to each other. But what are grace gifts, how are they identified, and what are their practical applications? A closer look at Romans 12 and a study of correlating passages yields encouraging instruction.
