The season of Advent is an invitation--an opportunity to slow down and take notice, to take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus' coming, a season to reflect on the character of the One who came.

In this final Advent podcast, Erin Warren focuses on this week's character focus: Jesus is the One Who Came. John 1:1-14 is a unique telling of the Christmas story. It focuses not on a baby, but on God, who came near, the glory of God beheld by human eyes, the One who came near and dwelt among us. This Advent we celebrate His coming here, but also look to His coming again.

This Advent, I want to extend to you a gracious invitation to Christmas. This season is busy, and our schedules are fuller than ever. But this simple study is an opportunity to see the character of the One who came near.

In this podcast, Erin Warren focuses on this week's character focus: Jesus is the Life and the Life Giver. There are so many passages in Scripture that speak to this characteristic, but Romans 6:1-14 uses the symbol of baptism to show how we die to our old self and are raised to new life in Christ Jesus. Death and sin no longer have dominion over us, and we walk in newness of life in Him. Jesus didn't come to make the bad good; He came to make the dead alive. He came that we might have life and have it abundantly.

Erin also sets up this coming week's character focus: Jesus is the One who came.

In this podcast, Erin Warren focuses on this week's character focus: Jesus is the Truth and the Truth Teller. In John 8, Jesus says that those who know truth are set free. His Word is true, but His truth is more than words He speaks. His Word is true because Jesus is the embodiment of truth. He is truth, and therefore all He says is true. Unlike the devil, who speaks lies because his character is a liar. We have a choice: we either abide in His truth freely or belong to the father of lies. Erin also sets up this coming week's character focus: Jesus is the Life and the Life Giver.

The book of Romans is foundational yet deep. It is simple yet complex. It is an incredibly influential book that has been changing lives for centuries. Romans is the gospel truth that we need every day, and we will never reach an end to the treasures that await us in this powerful letter. Everything we have and all that we are is by His grace for His glory.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 8. This may be one of the most encouraging chapters in all of Scripture! As Paul closes out the second section of his longest letter, he encourages us: that even in the already-but-not-yet and even though we struggle with our sin as we are sanctified, we are not condemned! We are more than conquerors and nothing can separate from the steadfast love of our Abba Father. But as we wait for the fulfillment of His promise, we are not orphans. We have the Spirit who guides us, helps us, and intercedes on our behalf.

In this video, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 7. Paul continues explaining our lives because of Christ. Sin takes every opportunity to deceive us, and there is nothing good in our flesh. But Thanks be to God for Jesus! We now have the Spirit to help us as we live in the already but not yet.

QUOTES

• Matthew Henry: There is no way of coming to that knowledge of sin, which is necessary to repentance, and therefore to peace and pardon, but by trying our hearts and lives by the law . . . That perfect standard showed how wrong his heart and life were, proving his sins to be more numerous than he had before thought, but it did not contain any provision of mercy or grace for his relief.
• NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible: What Paul clearly shows is that the law is good, when used according to its purpose. Yet while it teaches righteousness, knowledge of it does not by itself provide power to change one's thinking.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 6. Sin leads to death. But through Jesus Christ, we have new life. Our baptism shows how we died and were buried, but resurrected to new life. We do not keep sinning because of grace. Rather, we walk in obedience with a cover of righteousness as we are sanctified.
