What gives a leader real influence when no one is forced to follow? Studying Romans 1:8–10, Dr. John Neufeld finds in the Apostle Paul a Christ-like model of spiritual leadership that begins with thanking God for the grace evident in others and is sustained by constant, specific prayer. Before Paul condemns sins, we see his heart of deep love for Christ and those he is called to lead.

The Heart of the Gospel: This 25-message series on Romans 1–4 presents us with Christianity 101. It is the basics of our faith, teaching us how we can know for certain that sins are forgiven and what it is to live by faith.

There’s one thing you can be certain of: You will die someday, as we all will. There have been only two exceptions to that—the prophet Elijah, and a godly man named Enoch who skipped death because of his faithful walk with God. John MacArthur shows you how Enoch’s example of faith can prepare you for heaven.

Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Mark 1:21–28, revealing how Jesus’ teaching and His confrontation with an unclean spirit displayed an authority no one had ever witnessed.

From the Series: Jesus: The Servant at Work, Volume One, A Study of Mark 1:1–6:13

Valorie has identified some key “rules” for resilience — like “expect the unexpected,” and “focus on the vision, not the obstacle.” And “control the controllable and accept the rest.” Prepping ourselves beforehand to learn and live more resiliently helps us be more confident, content, and successful when difficult situations happen.
