Welcome back Collide listeners! Congratulations to all of our graduates!

This month we will have a special guest named Austin Howard do a three-part series about Idolatry.

As we get to the end of January, Pastor Kaleb Haub continues in Romans and starts chapter 10. The prior passage concluded with Paul's declaration that his people, Israel, had tried to become righteous before God in the wrong way: by relying on their attempts to keep the law. They had refused to come to God by faith in Christ. Paul quoted Isaiah to show that Christ was the "stumbling stone" for Israel, but that all who believe in Him will not be put to shame.

After our guest speaker Kolby last week, Pastor Kaleb returns to the book of Romans. He shares a short 8-minute video that explains how God's justification is by faith in Him. God reminds us of the story of the golden calf and the pharaoh's rebellion. He tells us that He chooses the specific people to fulfill the promise of Jesus dying for our sins and that we can now be a part of that faithful family. God has had specific events happen to help us remember that these people's rejections were accomplishing God's purpose. Romans 9 turns us towards looking back at Israel's past, next week in Romans 10 Pastor Kaleb will be explaining Israel in the present time when Romans was written.

Tonight we have guest, Kelby McCandless teaching about Romans 8.

Romans 8 is one of the most loved chapters in all of Scripture. Paul begins and ends this passage with statements about the absolute security of those who are in Christ. First, there is no condemnation, at all, for those in Christ. Last, nothing will ever be able to separate us from God's love for us in Christ. By this, he refers to those who have been saved by their faith in Jesus (Romans 3:23–26). As Scripture makes clear, the promise of salvation is only given to those who believe in Christ (John 3:16–18). Those who reject Jesus reject God (John 8:19), and will not be saved (John 3:36). For those who come to faith, their salvation is absolutely secure (John 10:28–29). Hardships may test their faith and strengthen it (Hebrews 12:3–11), but they never imply that God has abandoned His children (1 John 3:1). In between these bookends, Paul makes the case for why this is true.

Pastor Kaleb continues to discuss the word of God in Romans 7.

In Romans 7, Paul tackles the relationship between the law—the commandments given by God—and human sinfulness. He begins by making it clear that those who are in Christ have been released from any obligation to the law of Moses. This is for the same reason that we have been released from our slavery to sin: We die, and death breaks those obligations. Those who come to faith in Christ are so closely associated with His physical death and resurrection that we experience a kind of spiritual death and are resurrected into a new spiritual life. This is how we are freed from our responsibility to the law and go into eternal life with Christ in Heaven.
