In "Provided We Suffer With Him," Pastor Robert McNutt concludes his treatment of Romans 8:12-17 by turning to the phrase that closes verse 17: "provided we suffer with Him, in order that we also may be glorified with Him." Why does Paul, having soared through the glories of adoption and heirship, suddenly raise suffering? Because he had a pastor's heart for believers in Rome who were enduring real hardship, and because suffering is his final argument for assurance. Since we are united to Christ, as Romans 6 teaches, we share not only His inheritance but His sufferings. The world hated the Light of the world, and Jesus foretold that it would treat His people the same way: "a servant is not greater than his master." Acts records exactly that, and the epistles teach that our afflictions are a fellowship in Christ's own sufferings (2 Corinthians 1, Philippians 1, James 1, 1 Peter 1 and 4). So suffering for Christ's sake is not evidence that God's promises have failed, but proof that we belong to Him; when Satan whispers otherwise, we resist him with that truth. Further, suffering is God's preparation for glory. Christ Himself was made perfect through suffering and learned obedience by what He suffered, and this "light momentary affliction" is producing in us an eternal weight of glory. Pastor McNutt calls believers to count it all joy in trials, trusting God's sovereign, providential purpose to present them spotless before the Father. He closes with a warning from Hebrews 12: one who claims Christ yet knows no discipline should examine whether he is truly a son, and with a clear call to repent and believe the gospel.

This instructional sermon outlines a disciplined approach to Bible study, emphasizing the necessity of observing the text before drawing conclusions or applying doctrine. Using the Bereans in Acts 17 as a primary example, the teaching highlights the importance of examining verbs, connecting words, and punctuation to understand the author's intent within the immediate context. The discussion expands to distinguish between book-level purpose, historical setting, and parallel passages, warning against isolating verses like Romans 11:29 from their broader argument regarding Israel. By advocating for the King James Bible and careful grammatical analysis, the message encourages believers to rely on the Scripture's own internal evidence before consulting external tools, ensuring that interpretation remains faithful to the original text.

We see that God hath NOT cast away Israel, has NOT replaced Israel with the Church and that Israelites of any of the twelve tribes in Judea are "Jews". We also discuss Election: the election of grace vs. unconditional election/irresistible grace.

The Unbreakable Love of God: Our Assurance in the Face of Spiritual Warfare Are we truly aware of the spiritual battle taking place around us? Who are the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness described in Scripture? And how can believers stand with confidence when confronted by the reality of spiritual warfare? The Bible makes it clear that our struggle is far greater than what we can see with our physical eyes. In Ephesians 6:12, the Apostle Paul reveals the unseen spiritual forces that oppose the purposes of God and the lives of His people. Our primary text verse is Ephesians 6:12 (KJV): "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." In this Bible study, we examine the biblical reality of spiritual warfare and consider the nature of the spiritual opposition described in God's Word. We explore the meaning of principalities and powers, the influence of Satan, the schemes of the enemy, and the ongoing conflict between truth and deception. But there is an equally important truth we must never lose sight of: the forces of darkness are real, but they are not supreme. Jesus Christ is Lord over all! Although spiritual warfare is a sobering reality, Scripture gives believers an extraordinary foundation for confidence and assurance. Romans 8:38–39 declares that neither angels, principalities, powers, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
