In this message, Elder Jonathan Moseley walks through Romans 7 and explains what it means for God's children to be "dead to the law." Using Paul's teaching, he shows how Christ frees us from the law's condemnation so that we may be joined to Him and bear fruit unto God. Elder Moseley also unpacks the struggle of the two natures within every believer—the inward man delighting in God's law while the flesh still battles with sin—and points us to Christ as the One who delivers us. If you've ever wondered how to understand the believer's relationship to the law, sin, and grace, this sermon will strengthen your faith and give hope in Christ's finished work.

The narrative recounts a period of wandering and divine redirection for the Israelites, beginning with their disobedience at Kadesh Barnea and subsequent forty years of wilderness sojourns. Following a failed attempt to pass through Edom, and then traveling around Moab, the Israelites are guided by God to conquer King Sihon of Heshbon, efficiently securing territory for the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The account emphasizes God's orchestration of events, delivering enemies into their hands and providing sustenance throughout their journey, ultimately demonstrating His sovereignty and preparing them for the conquest of Canaan while adhering to specific divine limitations regarding interactions with neighboring peoples.

In Romans 6 Paul is answering a foolish question that people have always asked when they hear about the freeness of grace: "Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" The short answer—God forbid. Once you understand what Christ has done, that answer makes no sense. Paul points us to baptism as the picture. When we go down into the water, it represents burial with Christ—our old man crucified and put away. When we come up out of the water, it is a picture of resurrection, walking in newness of life. That old man is not the master anymore. Sin is no longer in charge. Grace reigns. This doesn't mean the battle is over—you will still wrestle with the flesh as long as you live. But you don't belong to sin anymore. You have a new Master, Jesus Christ, and He is worthy of your service. Each day you must reckon yourself dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God. Don't let sin reign. Don't yield your body as an instrument of unrighteousness. Yield yourself instead as one alive from the dead, a servant of righteousness. Paul reminds us: sin only pays one wage—death. But God's gift is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The fruit of sin is shame and destruction, but the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, holiness—is the evidence of that new life. So the gospel does not give us license to sin. It gives us liberty to serve. Christ has bought us, washed us, and made us His own. Now we are called to live like children of the King—sometimes failing, often needing forgiveness, but always under grace, pressing on to walk in newness of life for His glory.

Episode 1: The Final Instructions Begin – Setting the Stage in Deuteronomy In this opening lesson, Elder Jonathan Moseley introduces the book of Deuteronomy and walks through the first chapter verse by verse. We pick up right near the end of Israel's 40 years in the wilderness—just across the Jordan River from the Promised Land. Moses, now 120 years old, is giving his final instructions to a new generation. In this chapter, he recounts their journey, the failure to enter the land the first time, the Lord's judgment, and His mercy in preserving a remnant. This lesson helps set the stage for the entire book. We'll look at timelines, geography, and key people—along with the spiritual lessons Israel needed to learn before they could go forward. Open your Bible and follow along as we begin this walk through Deuteronomy, a book full of reminders, warnings, and hope.

Description: In this study we step into Deuteronomy chapter 5, where Moses, in the last days of his life, delivers God's covenant once again to the new generation preparing to cross into Canaan. Here we find the Ten Commandments repeated—not as old, worn laws, but as living words spoken by the eternal God, accompanied by fire, smoke, and the trembling of Sinai. We look closely at what it means when God said, "Hear, O Israel"—to learn, to keep, and to do His word. From idolatry to honoring parents, from murder to covetousness, the law reveals both outward sins and the hidden sins of the heart. We also trace how these commands carry into the New Testament, where Jesus presses the law even deeper, showing that hatred is murder in the heart and lust is adultery within. This chapter reminds us of the seriousness of God's covenant, the reality of judgment, and the grace we have in Christ who fulfilled the law. While Israel trembled before the mountain, we see that God has given us rest in Jesus—the true fulfillment of the law and the only One who makes us righteous. If you've ever wondered how the Ten Commandments tie together the Old Testament law and the New Testament gospel, this study will help you see the connection. 📖 Text: Deuteronomy 5 🎙️ Series: Discovering Deuteronomy

In this 7th message from our study through the book of Romans, Elder Jonathan Moseley takes us back into Romans chapter 5 to remind us that grace is greater. Through one man, Adam, sin and death entered into the world—but through the obedience and sacrifice of one Man, Jesus Christ, life and righteousness have been freely given to all of His people. This sermon lifts up the glory of the atonement: how Christ reconciled sinners to God, exchanged our death for His life, and secured our everlasting hope. Elder Moseley shows us the contrast between Adam and Christ, and how the reign of death has been overcome by the reign of grace. Here we find reason to rejoice in God—not only for peace and access to grace, but for the certain hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 📖 Main Text: Romans 5:12–21 🎙️ Series: The Gospel that Reveals the Righteousness of God: Romans Series (Episode 7)

In Deuteronomy 4, Moses is talking to the next generation — the ones about to cross into the promised land without him. He tells them, "Listen and do, that you may live." We walk through his warnings against idolatry, the high stakes of obedience, and the reminder that the Lord alone is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath.

Instruction from the Forgiven – Psalm 32 This morning we're taking a short pause from our study in Romans to spend some time in Psalm 32 which was referenced in Romans 4—a psalm of David that speaks right to our daily walk as children of God. David knew what it was to sin, to try to hide it, to feel the heavy hand of the Lord upon him, and then to know the blessed relief of confessing that sin and being forgiven. In these 11 verses, we see both the truth and the experience: the misery of keeping silence before God, the joy of acknowledging our transgressions, and the reality that blessed is the one whose sin is covered and to whom the Lord will not impute iniquity. This is instruction we all need—because every one of us still grapples with sin, and every one of us needs to be reminded of where to go with it. My prayer is that as we look at David's testimony, we'll be encouraged to confess quickly, to rest in the finished work of Christ, and to rejoice in the mercy that surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 📖 Text: Psalm 32 (KJV) 🎵 Closing Hymn: "Victory in Jesus"
