Join us as we learn from the life of Job, the faithfulness of God and the promise He will never abandon His children. In uncertainty and pain, we learn to cling to truth instead of grappling to hold onto whatever makes us feel better. Truth sets us free, opens our eyes and challenges our souls, but it rarely "feels better".

"Whom God chooses, He shows mercy. Whom God does not choose, He shows justice."

Romans 9:14-33; Exodus 9:13-16

God is sovereign. The God we serve is not bound to our standards, rules or logic. He sees beyond the here and now. He has a redemptive plan that is still in motion. The work is finished, but the plan is still unfolding. There will come a day when we have no more questions. Until then, we can rejoice in the opportunity to be His people through His supernatural work alone.

Romans 8:28-39- 9:1-13; Genesis 17:15-21

Suffering is a way God draws us to Himself. Paul teaches us that our pain and suffering do not compare to the glory that will be revealed to us one day. Although life, relationships and even following Christ will bring suffering in life, we suffer with hope. We are full of the promises and certianty that nothing we endure this side of Heaven will compare to the joy that awaits the believer when we see Christ. 

Romans 8:18-30; Genesis 3:16-19

In our continued series of "Romans", Paul teaches followers of Christ that sin no longer has control. Because the Holy Spirit dwells within the heart of the believer, we are no longer helpless to live in sin. If the Spirit of Christ has joined with our spirit, we belong to and are led by Him.

Romans 8:5-17; Mark 14:32-36

Romans part XI

Romans 7:1-25; Revelation 1:12-19

In our tenth part of the series "Romans", Paul plainly teaches we will be slaves to something in our heart. Whatever is driving our desires is what we are enslaved to. Whomever or whatever you are a slave to will determine your destination. If you have surrendered your heart to Christ, grace covers your sin and you are no longer controlled by it. The fruit of the Spirit produces a desire to exemplify the things of God.

Romans, Part 9

Romans 6:1-14; Genesis 7:18-24; Exodus 14:16-31; Matthew 3:13-17;

Mark 10:35-39, 15:33-16:8

In our continued series "Romans", scripture tells us God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to every believer in Christ. Paul points us to look to Jesus who has done for us what we could not do for ourselves or anyone else. Through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, we have been offered salvation and an eternal gift of redemption to God. Nothing can rip a follower of Jesus from His hand.

Romans 5:1-21

Jameson Thacker

Continuing in our series "Romans", Paul appeals to his readers by explaining faith to them. Once we are believers in Christ, we are no longer bound by the law because we cannot follow the law without sin. Throughout scripture, we can clearly see men of faith, believers in Christ and those who were counted as righteous fell into sin. We sin because we are human. Our faith and surrender to Christ releases us from the bondage of sin. We have been made righteous through Jesus' resurrection and defeat of sin; our dead hearts have been made alive.

Steadfast strength is not found within ourselves. When we put our weight against Him, it is counted as righteousness. 

Romans 4:1-25; Psalm 51:1-5; 9-17
