Continuing with the series, In View of His Mercies, today we look at Romans 8:28-39 and consider the Tension of All Tensions.

The 5 foundational pillars of the central passage are:

1) Foreknew

2) Predestined

3) Called

4) Justified, and

5) Glorified.

Reframing Suffering. What does that mean?!? Let's take a look at Romans 8:16-28 and see what the Word says about suffering. In verses 17-18 we see The Misunderstanding of suffering. In verses 19-22 we see The Frustrated Creation and in verses 23-25 we see the Eagerly Patient.

Today we continue in our study of the book of Romans and as we look at Romans 8:1-17 Pastor Dustin Clegg gives us a few things to think about:

1) The Reality (vs 1-2).

2) The Power (vs 3-4).

3) The Mindset (vs 5-7).

We continue today with our study of the book of Romans as we pick up in Chapter 7.

Continuing in the series, In View of His Mercies, we look at Romans 6:15-23 and in a sermon titled, I Pledge Allegiance, Pastor Dustin Clegg presents 4 ideas to think about:

1) The Rejection.

2) The Slavery.

3) The Progression.

4) The Gospel.

Continuing in the series, In View of His Mercies, we look at Romans 6:1-14 and talk about The Battle Within. Pastor Dustin Clegg starts out by talking about the freedom in each of the 3 parts of our salvation:

1) Justification - Freedom from the punishment of sin;

2) Sanctification - Freedom from sin's power; and 

3) Glorification - Freedom from the pressure of sin.

The Battle Within

1) The Death (vs 1 & 2)

2) The Baptism (vs 3 & 4)

3) The Freedom (vs 5-7)

4) The Identity (vs 8-11)

How do we fight the battle?

5) The Offering (vs 12-14)

Today finds us in Romans 5:12-21. Pastor Dustin Clegg gives us 3 things to think about from this text:

1) The progression.

2) The choice.

3) The change.

Keep coming back to Jesus!

Continuing with Romans 5:1-11 Pastor Dustin Clegg give us 3 main points to think about:

1) The prop of abiding.

2) Reframing suffering.

3) Confidence in the King.

Today we are blessed to have a couple of baptisms then Pastor Dustin Clegg continues with the study of Romans as we look at Romans 5:1-11.

We were blessed to be able to start the service with 2 more baptisms and those are included on the podcast. Then Pastor Dustin Clegg picks up with our study, In View of His Mercies, and as we look at Romans 4:13-25 he gives us 3 observations from the text.

1) God's promises are always bigger than we can understand when we hear them.

2) Faith must be the horse that pulls the cart in the race of Christianity.

3) Faith in Jesus is not about good or bad people being better. It's about dead things made alive.

How does this apply to you?

1) Everyone must be saved by grace through faith in Jesus.

2) Anyone can be saved by grace through faith in Jesus.
