An in-depth study of Exodus 17.

There are a lot of people in the world who have no hope—overwhelmed with grief, or pain, or sorrow, or anxiety—regretting the past, uncertain about the present, or worrying about the future. But God offers us a HOPE that the world does not have. In Romans 5, Paul tells us that there is a path toward hope that begins with suffering, and includes perseverance and character. Pastor Gary explains each of these steps toward HOPE in today’s study from Romans 5.

An in-depth study of 2 Samuel 20.

The world says, “Man is basically good.” But God’s Word says, “Man is basically bad and in need of a Savior!” Since man is guilty before God and deserves punishment, the question is—How can we be made right with God? Paul answers that question from three different angles. Join Pastor Gary as he teaches through Romans 3-4 to unpack what the Lord says through Paul in today’s study, “And Now, the Good News!”

An in-depth study of 2 Samuel 19.

Some people are self-righteous and they judge everyone else by their own standard. Some people are overrighteous and they pride themselves in being better than everyone else. But both are sinful before God. In fact, ALL of us are “guilty as charged.” Paul makes the case that no one has an excuse for denying or disobeying God because He has revealed Himself through CREATION, CONSCIENCE, and COMMANDMENTS. But the good news is—God sent Jesus to save us from our sins! Join Pastor Gary as he takes us through Romans 2.

An in-depth study of 2 Samuel 18.

What does a culture of any nation look like when it excludes God? Take a look around at American culture right now. It looks like that! Even though Paul wrote Romans 1 in the first century A.D., what he describes then is just as apparent now. When man removes God from the equation, man resorts to his base nature, and our base nature is pretty perverse. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary deals with the sexual identity crisis, homosexuality, and the craziness of our culture with the hope that all will come to know the grace, forgiveness, and wholeness that is found through Jesus Christ.

An in-depth study of 2 Samuel 16-17.

There is a common saying… “There’s some good news, and there’s some bad news.” That saying could describe the book of Romans. It has a lot of good news (in fact, the word “gospel” means “good news”). But the book of Romans also has some bad news about God’s wrath and how we deserve it because of our sinfulness. Paul writes a commentary on the culture in Romans 1 like it’s today’s headlines—we are worshiping creation more than the Creator. There is more of an obsession about the planet and the environment than there is with God in our culture today. All this is symptomatic of a world that has denied the existence of God and disobeyed Him despite the fact that God has revealed Himself to an unrighteous world.
