The story of Mephibosheth is an often overlooked Old Testament account. But it’s a powerful picture of  the Gospel to come, and reminder of what it means to be in the Presence of the King.

@Samuel 9:1-11, Ephesians 2:1-20

So many of us feel the weight of our pasts. Nasty wounds, either imposed on us or self-inflicted, can often blur our vision of who God is. This is the story of the family of a man named Korah, and the struggle of Korah’s family can help to shine light on our understanding of God’s heart and mercy.

Scripture: Numbers 16 (ESV)

Some Old Testament laws seem archaic and, at times, really weird. We still talk about some of them, while others are forgotten. Do they all still apply to us today? If not, how do we know the difference? This message should give you a framework to understand those laws, from the obscure to the obvious.

Scripture: Romans 3:27-31, 1 Peter 1:18-20, Colossians 2:16-17, Galatians 5:6

We’ve been discussing faith as the key that unlocks salvation and the joy of the kingdom—but, what if you’re not sure you have any? This week we’ll wrestle with faith, or our lack of it.

Scripture: Romans 3:27-31, Hebrews 11:1

Why did Jesus have to die to save us? Just how far reaching is that salvation?

Scripture: Romans 3:21-26

Paul is presenting some really big ideas. Those big ideas raise big questions. So, to help us out, he hits pause on the teaching and answers a few FAQ’s.

Scripture: Romans 3:1-9, 19-20. Ephesians 2:4-10

For thousands of years the sign of inclusion was circumcision. That’s how you knew you were IN. Jesus changed that marker to baptism. The implications of that change are huge!

Scripture: Romans 2:17-29, Colossians 2:11-14

Judging others bring judgement upon yourself.  When we look at the sins listed in Romans, we can often think that those are things that “those people” do.  But 1) Those are our sins too. Jesus made that clear on His Sermon on the Mount – we are held to a standard more than the letter of the law but the Spirit of the law.  And 2) Judging others yet another way that we sin.  So, again we are reminded of our need for a Savior … and thankfully we have one!

Scripture: Romans 2:1-16, Romans 1:17, Romans 5:8-9, John 12:31

Romans 1:18-32 is a trip to the dentist: It ain’t fun, but it’s the only way we see the bad things that are hiding, and prevent worse things from happening. For some of us this text is a routine cleaning, for others it’s a root canal… but for all of us, it’s needed.

Scripture: Romans 1:18-32, James 1:14-16 (NIV)

In this message we begin a series studying the greatest letter ever written: Paul’s letter to the Romans!

Scripture: Romans 1:1-17
