JEFF'S MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY

Some believers find the fact of God's sovereignty to be confusing, but we should all find it be comforting! If God wasn't in complete control, we'd really be in trouble! Join me now in Romans Ch. 9, as we talk about God's wonderful sovereignty.

Many people today claim to speak on behalf of God, but it's simply not true. Nevertheless, God definitely speaks to us, and it's primarily through His Word. In Romans Ch. 8, God has some remarkable things to say to us as believers, so let's look at that together now.

Guilt says shame on you! God's grace says there is no condemnation! In Rom. 8, Paul talks about believers having no condemnation, as well as what it means to live our life in the Holy Spirit. Let's look at that together now.

During the recent Olympic Games in Paris, women were competing on the balance beam in gymnastics. Amazingly, that bean, while 16 feet long, is only 4 inches wide! That's how it sometimes feels when it comes to balancing the Christian faith - easy to fall off. Join me in Romans Ch. 7, as Paul talks about balancing our faith.

Remember the old Bob Dylan song, "Gotta serve somebody?" His lyrics included the words, "It may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody." Well according to Romans Ch. 6, Dylans lyrics are spot on! As the apostle Paul explains, we're either slaves to sin or servants of God. Let's take a closer look at that together now in this podcast message!

In the 5th chapter of Romans, Paul describes how we're justified by faith, along with all of the blessings that we receive in Christ. Then Paul goes on to contrast the first man - Adam, and our sin; with the second Man - Jesus, and our salvation. Join us now as we dig deeper into the spiritual riches of Romans Ch. 5

How was Abraham saved? How was David saved? How was Paul saved? How can you be saved?? There's only one way - and it's apart from anything we can do. Let's talk about saving faith in Romans Ch. 4

In a court of law, lawyers often times raise objections to what an opposing lawyer has said. Sometimes the judge declares, "Sustained", and at other times, the judge will say, "Objection overruled!" In Romans 3, Paul tackles the objections raised by unsaved Jews, and in each case, it's "Objection Overruled!" Let's take a closer look at that together now.

As Christians, we understand that we're all sinners in need of God's forgiveness in Christ. But many unsaved people today don't understand this reality, and so they rely on trying to live a moral and respectable life as the means for getting to heaven. Paul exposes the folly of this faulty thinking, in a much-needed message titled, "The Heart of the Problem."

Though we belong to the God of truth, we live in a world full of lies, thanks in large part to the devil. In the 2nd half of Rom. 1, as we consider important truth, it also exposes three very dangerous lies that are quite popular in the world today. What are they? Let's dig in together and find out!
