Pastor David "Cotton" Ray notes how some things have changed over the past few decades since prayer and God have been taken out of the public schools, particularly with the way children are raised and how homes are run.

Neal Moody expounds on the first half of chapter 5, continuing to speak about our justification by faith and now the results thereof, along with some input from a few members of the congregation.

Pastor Chuck Waldrup tells of how he feels much of the church today hasn't been taught who they are and how the church is entering a time of defining and refining. He notes how he has never seen this level of discouragement in the church before, in spite of God still moving. He stresses the importance of learning what you have been called to do and viewing life through your mantle, not comparing yourself, your giftings, or your callings with anyone else.

Neal Moody continues with the study by talking about Abraham and justification by faith, as well as showing from scripture how physical circumcision is no longer a necessity to show your devotion to God, but rather in the spiritual sense.

Aaron Williams gives a timely word to The Ark that he felt God had been impressing on him for a few weeks about how the church needs to take things seriously, being different than the world. He reminds us that God has given us the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, yet when problems arise we oftentimes won't go to God first. He also gives testimonies of incidents that had happened to him over the past couple of years. He encourages us to step it up in our access and belief in God.

Amber McKinney tells what she feels God has been telling her over the past couple of years as it relates to The Ark and the upcoming move as Pastor Mike Thomas felt the time was right. Pastor Chuck Waldrup, who was visiting, also gives a brief word related to where he feels The Ark is going in the future, and his wife Libby adds her thoughts and a song that God had given her.

Neal Moody continues with the book of Romans, transitioning from the wrath of God to the grace of God. There was a glitch in the recording at 4m7s in, to where a few minutes of the service weren't recorded as I worked to resolve the issue and save what could be salvaged.

Pastor Mike Thomas tackles the tough, controversial topic of hell and some of the misconceptions about its legitimacy, existence, and purpose, all while using scripture for proof, including the words of Jesus Himself.

Neal Moody continues with the second chapter, comparing and contrasting moralists and the religious.

Neal Moody finishes the first chapter of Romans, getting into the more difficult and controversial latter part of the chapter.
