Living in the Power of the Spirit

Those who are in Christ are so valued that – even after death – God isn't done with them.

Paul shows us how we left our old family in Adam behind, and enter into a new family in Christ.

What can I do to help? There's something in many of us – put there by God – that causes us to want to help others in their distress.

We all have a nostalgic longing for yesterday - books, music, movies, fashions, even family memories. Like Israel when they wanted to go back to Egypt, this longing can lead Christians back to the slavery of sin.

Every family has one—a relative who we know went bad in some way—our skeleton in the closet—the black sheep of the family.

Romans were all too familiar with the Pax Romana - a brutal 'peace' achieved through the quashing of dissent. Christ's peace is something very different.

Paul confronts the errant thinking that Abraham's descendants are somehow 'owed' salvation.

Paul has shown us we all live on the same "street" spiritually, but some remain locked in their homes and peering through the blinds as life unfolds around them.

Paul enters into another 'dialog' - this time with a Jewish teacher whose impressive résumé seems to be everything the church is looking for.
