Love is more than just words, emotions, or feelings. Love can’t be kept to yourself. Love for others must be expressed outward and lived out. Today, Pastor John will describe how a Christian believer can truly love others. Genuine love is expressed in practical and helpful ways. You offer help. You reach out to strangers and connect with them. You offer hospitality. You join together in fellowship. You pray for others' needs. In all these actions, God expresses His love to others through you.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 12 as he continues his message Love in Action.

Phrases like “love wins” or “love is love” all sound good, but there’s a huge component missing from this type of love. True, genuine, practical love comes only from God and stems from His love for you. There’s nothing natural in you that can love like this. Today, Pastor John will describe what true Godly love looks like. There’s no hypocrisy or deceit; it’s full of truth and honors and elevates others. This is all for the glory of God for the benefit of others.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 12 as he begins his message Love in Action.

As you seek to begin to serve God by serving others in this world, the apostle Paul encourages you to use the gifts God has given you. Everyone is called to serve in this way. No one is alike in their giftings, yet we’re all called to one unified purpose - to serve and glorify Christ. Today, Pastor John explains how we’re all unique members, yet makeup one body of believers. Like a physical body with parts that all work together, we’re stronger as Christians when we work together in this way.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 12 as he continues his message Thinking Rightly as Members of Christ’s Body.

Learning doctrine and theology is important to your faith. And changing your mind and heart to align with God’s is crucial as you mature as a believer. But you can’t stop there! Today, Pastor John will challenge you to turn out into the world and LIVE OUT your faith in practical ways. Serve God by serving others. Be His hands and feet in a hurting and broken world. Show others the love God has for them and the salvation and peace He offers. This service is your right response to all you have in Jesus.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 12 as he begins his message Thinking Rightly as Members of Christ’s Body.

The world around you is trying every which way to squeeze you into its mold.  There’s so much temptation to allow what you see and hear to change you, suppress your faith, or draw you away from God. Today, Pastor John will encourage you instead to turn away from these temptations and seek hard after God. Don’t be conformed to the ways of the world, but rather allow the Holy Spirit to transform your mind and heart to be like Jesus, and allow that to come out and be visible to the world!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 12 as he continues his message A Call to Consecration.

When you really stop to think about all that God has done to redeem mankind, to save you specifically from the judgment you deserve, what’s your response? Today, Pastor John will challenge you to lay your whole life down for Jesus in response to the mercy, grace, love, and kindness He’s shown you. Don’t just go through the motions to check the religious boxes. Instead, give God everything - your whole life, your whole heart, all of you! Humbly ask God to take all of you for His glory!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 12 as he begins his message A Call to Consecration.

The roots and the origins of God’s people are Israel, including the patriarchs, prophets, and priests. This grew into the nation of Israel through the generations. Today, Pastor John will explain that with their rejection of Jesus, those who rejected Him are cut off. And new believers, Gentiles, are added on, grafted into the family tree of God. Our heritage is from the Jews. God chose them to be the avenue of His revelation to all mankind. And, He’ll add any back who come to believe in Him through faith.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 11 as he continues his message Restoration, Israel’s Future.

God chose Israel to be His people. He gave them His word, His law, and His inheritance. But the Jews, as a nation, rejected Jesus. But God isn’t done with the Jewish people. At the second coming of Jesus, the Jews will finally see and recognize Jesus as the Messiah. And at that point, Pastor John will explain today, many, many Jews will come to faith in Jesus for salvation. God will fulfill His promises to the nation. And in the meantime, He’s using their rejection of Him to gather non-Jewish believers to Himself.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 11 as he continues his message Restoration, Israel’s Future.

The Jews rejected Jesus, put Him to death on the cross, and then persecuted any who believed in Him. And the question that came up in the early church was if God was done with His people, the Jews, forever. Well, today, Pastor John will explain that God won’t forsake the Jewish people. God made many unconditional promises to Israel. And though many Jews rejected Jesus at His first coming to earth, God is still faithful to them. They won’t miss Him at His second coming. Many will repent and believe in Him.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 11 as he begins his message Restoration, Israel’s Future.

There’s so much in the world today that will let you down. People, finances, powers, and situations will constantly disappoint you. However, as Pastor John teaches today, God will never disappoint you. With true faith, you’ll never be ashamed of or disappointed in the gospel.  His blessings and goodness will never run out. You’ll never say what a waste your faith has been. Things may turn out differently than you expected, but God will be faithful throughout your life when you trust Him.
