Rom. 3:21-31 | After laying out the bad news about us, Paul now turns to explain the best news in the world: that there is a way to be righteous before God apart from works of the law.

Rom. 3:9-20 | Paul tells us that all of us – no matter who we are – are bent against God and are in desperate need of rescue. This unflattering news of our great need of a Savior, points forward to a Great Savior for our Need.

Rom. 2:1-5, 17ff | Paul shows us, here, why Morality (as good as it may be) can never save anyone. The belief that good behavior saves, ironically, condemns precisely because it makes us judged-judges. The hope of the Good News is that Christ has died for judged-judges too!

Rom. 1:1-18-32 | The cure is sweet because the diagnosis is bitter! Paul has just written of the Righteousness of God being revealed. But, there is something else being revealed: The Wrath of God. Certainly and unpopular topic, but we need to hear the bad news about us before the Good News changes us. Here Paul shows us what the wrath of God is, why, and how it is being revealed.

Rom. 1:1-17 | Paul opens his letter to the Romans by stating that there is NEWS (gospel) that reveals something that changes everything. The News is that, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God has decisively intervened in His great rescue project of the whole cosmos.

John 20:24-31 | Thomas was a man of profound faith...and doubt. At the same time. What do we do with the doubts that seem to exist in the midst of faith? Jesus, as we'll hear, not only invites them, but seeks to minister to them.

John 19:28-37 | Something cosmic, something utterly transformative happened when Jesus breathed His last. What was it? We learn that BOTH Forgiveness and Righteousness were given to those who trust in Jesus and His death on the Cross.

John 18:28-40 | John shows us two worlds, two kingdoms clashing: Rome and Heaven. Here, we see the interchange between Pontius Pilate and Jesus of Nazareth. We learn what Jesus's death, and Barabbas's release, means for us.

John 17:1-5, 20-26 | In the last hours of His life, Jesus was praying for his disciples (both present and future). And it is by seeing him praying for us that we (the church) have the power to be on mission, revealing the heart of the Father to the watching world.

John 14:15-17, 25-26; 16:5-15 | There is much confusion surrounding the third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. Learn about who is, what he has come to do, and why he matters.
