All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We have seen that God hates sin, the Gospel is the power of salvation, and God will judge sin, but He has provided a way for us to be justified before Him. This week we will look at what it means to be justified by faith.

Episode 3: Romans 2 - The Jews are Without Excuse

In chapter one, we saw that God’s wrath was revealed, that man is without excuse as God has made Himself known to all. God hates sin, and because He is just, He will judge those who sin.

The Final Principles

Jesus has sent us out into the world to proclaim His gospel, the world is a hostile place, and it seems that it is getting harder and harder to find people willing to listen to the truth of God’s Word. This week we will look at some key principles that will help us fulfil the great commission.

The Commissioning

The hour had come, and Jesus was going to be crucified on the cross. Jesus spent 3 years preparing His disciples for His departure. After His resurrection He would tell His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit and then send them out as witnesses to the world. This week we will look at the great commission and how it applies to you and I.

Commitment

To be an endurance athlete it takes commitment, dedication, and discipline to not only start the race but to complete it. This week we will continue our teaching on the true disciple and their relationship to bearing fruit.

What are the distinguishing traits of a true Christian? Listen to this week’s episode as we will look at the concrete evidence that proves a person is a true follower of Jesus.
