Our children are growing up in a different kind of world than the one we experienced. They live in a world filled with conflict, crisis, and a great deal of confusion.

Having already given instruction for walking as a godly wife, Paul now gives some radical instruction to men.

For the past few weeks we’ve been in a series entitled Walking Worthy. It is based upon Ephesians chapters 4-6 where we are called to walk in a manner worthy of the call we have received in Christ. We have seen that: We are to walk in unity. We are to walk in love. We are to walk in light. As we c …

For those who have questions and even doubt the reality of the resurrection, congratulations, you are in good company. For there were no Christians standing around the cross when Jesus died. And there were no followers of Jesus holding a candlelight vigil in front of the tomb waiting for him to step …
Now we come to chapter 16. And when we get to this chapter many times we treat it like the credits at the end of a movie. But as we close the book of Romans by going over chapter sixteen, we are not just seeing a list of names that we can’t pronounce or have any idea of their significance to the let …
The church throughout the ages had to battle with disputable matters, and given our propensity to sin, many fights and divisions have resulted in such matters.

As we come to chapter 13 in Romans, Paul addresses a believer’s response to governing authorities, to neighbors and to the times.

We come to chapter 11 where Paul combines both God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility with respect to the nation of Israel.

“What shall we say, then?” (Romans 9:30) Right standing with God comes only through faith in Christ “but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law.” (Romans 9:31) (MULTILINE) “Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it …
To help us understand the context of chapters 9-11, I’ve put together a simple chart.
