Romans 6:1-11. Through the work of the gospel we are united to Christ in both His death and resurrection. As a result, to live the Christian life is to live a crucified and a resurrected life. What does it mean to live this double life?

Ezra 1:1-11

In Isaiah 40 the prophet comforted God’s people with promises of His redemption, presence, and glory. The message of Christmas comforts us with the assurance of promises fulfilled and hope of promises yet to come. How does the prophet’s message of comfort speak to us today? Consider three ways Isaiah 40 offers us comfort.

In Psalm 103, David calls upon his own soul to speak words of blessing to God by rehearsing the blessings God bestows on His people. Though we often face dark and difficult days, we can utter words of gratitude and blessing because of God's goodness toward us. So how can we bless God even when life is a burden? Consider four ways to bless God and show our gratitude to Him.

Pastor Scott completes our time in the book of Romans by concluding the six part series in the final passage of the book, Romans 16:25-27.

Romans 16:25-27

 | In Romans 16:17-20, Paul warned the church in Rome to guard against the threat of false teachers. We can be a faithful church when we uphold sound doctrine and protect the church from false teaching. What should the church do in regard to false teaching? Consider four exhortations.

Romans 16:1-16, 21-23. As Paul concludes his letter to the church in Rome, he commends and greets several believers who have been used by God with him in ministry. Though this list of names is largely unknown to us, it does offer us insight into the way God uses people to build His church. Consider at least six qualities emphasized in this text.

In Romans 15:14-21, Paul defended his letter by drawing attention to important fundamentals for faithful ministry. As individuals, we can be God-honoring and world-blessing Christians when we understand the simple expectations for faithful ministry.

The world needs a church that opens back up ready with a plan to be a faithful church. How should the church operate in a COVID-19 world? We can honor God as His people and be a benefit to the world when we are... 

Psalm 42 and 43

In Romans 14:13-23 Paul exhorted the believers in Rome to restrain their liberty for the sake of the spiritual well-being of less mature believers. We can promote healthy relationships in the church when we take responsibility for the spiritual well-being of other believers. How can we be more responsible toward one another? 

In Romans 14:1-12 Paul encouraged the church to be gracious to one an- other in spite of differences over non-essentials. We can promote unity in the church when we show grace and patience with one another. How can we develop a gracious spirit toward each other? We need to understand three truths.

Romans 13:11-14 called the church in Rome to embrace a life consistent with expectations of fully devoted followers of Christ. God calls His to church to act in a manner consistent with transforming power of the gospel. What do we need to do to obey this call to action? 

In Romans 13:8-1 Paul continued to assert the believer’s obligation to demonstrate love. Fully devoted followers of Christ are obligated to show love. How should we understand this obligation? 

In Romans 13:1-7 Paul exhorted the believers in Rome to live in submission to the governing authorities. As fully devoted followers of Christ we are to submit to those whom God has put in authority over us. What does it mean to submit to these authorities? 

Romans 12:14-21. As Paul continued to lay out features of a fully devoted life, he exhorted the believers in Rome to properly manage their relationships. We can live faithful lives when we understand the ways in which the gospel should inform our relationships, especially with those who may be hostile to us. So how should we relate to people even those who may seek our harm? We allow the gospel to properly manage our relationship when we make the following commitments.
