This is the first message in our Parables series. It reminds us of the reality of the darkness and decay we see in our world and that God has a plan. God is not sitting idle on His throne as chaos breaks out on earth. Listen to hear about His plan.

Making a list of things that we are against is easy. Making a list of things we are FOR...now that is a different story. Have you ever thought about that? What are you for? In this last message from Romans Paul adresses some things that the church should be for.

What pleases you? Paul said to the church in Rome that he was pleased with certain aspects of the church. This message talks about those things and how we can implement those same three things into our church.

One of our core beliefs is that "saved people serve people." This message from Romans 15 is a great reminder of that truth.

In Romans 14, Paul warns the reader not to destroy the work of God over opinions. What we know about our culture is that when it comes to opinions everyone has one. All opinions are not bad and not all opinions are helpful. So how do we avoid destroying the work of God with opinions?

What do we owe to others? In our message today, Jared Thompson points out the one thing that Paul says we owe each other.

As followers of Jesus, how are we to appropriately respond to government and authorities above us? In this section of Romans the Apostle Paul gives us the answers to that question.

In the previous two verses in Romans 12, the Apostle Paul instructed believers to be living sacrifices in view of God's mercies. In this section, he fleshes that out by letting us know what that looks like in our behavior toward others.

This week's message is from Romans 12:1-2, and leads us to answer the question, "What is your current view of God?"

So where do you find hope? What is holding your world together? What do you trust in? In this section of Romans 11, the Apostle Paul writes to believers in Rome about why their trust should rest fully in God.
