Responsible Human Choices Within A Sovereign Plan - Part 1 - Part 2 of 2

God is big enough to incorporate your choices into His choice. If you've seen the video of AI-generated characters complaining about the situations their creators put them in, you may have gained a little insight into Romans 9. "Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’" Well, it has been known to happen. And all within the Maker's will. Jim is helping us see down into the deep implications of this passage. Here's part 2 of his sermon.

Responsible Human Choices Within A Sovereign Plan - Part 1 - Part 1 of 2

Are we all just players in a cosmic puppet show? When Paul began teaching the Roman Christians about God's election of Israel, he opened up a very large can of worms. We have a hard time understanding how these two things can be true at the same time: God chooses, and we choose. Our choices are real, and consequential; God's choices are eternal and unchallengeable. Can Paul show us from the scriptures that this is so?

Is God Unrighteous? - Part 2 of 2

Is the Almighty, flighty? The gods of the Greeks and Romans were capricious - they dealt with people according to their whims, as the mood might strike them on a certain day. And we deem that to be un-godlike. But can the charge of arbitrariness be brought against the one true God? We see His sovereign choices all through the Bible. If He's not basing those decisions on human merit, is He being impulsive... or benevolent? We're back in Romans 9 with Jim.

Is God Unrighteous? - Part 1 of 2

There's Israel... and then there's Israel. Many Christians are confused about something God makes very plain in the New Testament: His plans for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In his letter to the Romans, Paul devotes three chapters to the conundrum created by the gospel: If salvation is a gift to anyone who believes, then the Jews are not special, and God lied! The solution will take us all the way back to the promises made to the Patriarchs.

Living By Resurrection Power - Part 2 of 2

How to escape from quicksand. Every Christian can identify with the struggle that Paul confesses in Romans 7. We want to do right; we do wrong instead. We're stuck - and condemned by our conscience, and seemingly everyone else. That's no way for a son or daughter of God to live! When we turn the page to Romans chapter 8, we find freedom... and power... and peace. Here's Jim with Part 2 of, Living by Resurrection Power.

Living By Resurrection Power - Part 1 of 2

We have risen! We know that Jesus rose from the dead - there is no authentic Christianity without that truth - and we know that our physical bodies will rise in the future. But there is another work of resurrection! A "newness of life" that's available to us, now, through the Holy Spirit. Today Jim will walk us through several verses in Paul's letter to the Romans.

Every Man Meets God At The Cross Or At The Throne - Part 2 of 2

I fought the law... and the law won. Some fight against the law - the moral law, the Law of God; some fight their own nature to keep the law. And in the end, they sing the same, sad song: "The law won." On Friday we kicked off a new study in the book of Romans with a look at Chapter 7, and our abject inability to meet God's requirements. The problem is, I need a new me! Paul will show us that we have that, in the New Birth.

Every Man Meets God At The Cross Or At The Throne - Part 1 of 2

The first step toward escape from our problem is to admit we have a problem. And welcome to a new series in the towering, transformative letter of Paul to the Romans. We're going to jump in at Chapter 7 - that very honest admission of our failure that leads the Apostle to cry, "O wretched man that I am!" He'll take us from the Old Testament Law, to another law or principle, before showing us the highest law, "the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus."

An Approved Agenda Adjusted

Looking back, looking forward. While wrapping up his letter to the Christians in Rome, Paul introduces himself! Today his mini-résumé would be the "headline" of his "profile page." It looks to the past. And then the Apostle focuses on the future. What's on the horizon - and why is he so driven to accomplish his mission? For a few minutes, let's think about our lives in this same way. Where have we been, and where are we going?

Living Full-filled Lives

Got hope? Our world is in a freefall of despair. It would be depressing even to mention some of the tragedies we've seen recently - caused by empty philosophies and dark theologies. Where can hope be found? The Apostle Paul answers that question in the passage we'll look at today. Hope - and joy, and peace - come "in believing."
