The Law of The Spirit

Ben Foust
Romans 7:14-8:4

Paul explains the failure we experience when we try to follow the Law of God out of our own will-power. Instead, Paul points us to live under God's grace, where we are free from the requirements of the Law. \r\n

Oldness of The Letter

Ben Foust
Romans 7:1-13

Paul explains that the Law is good because it exposes the sins and evil of humanity. However, if we have died with Christ then we have died to the Law and are now living under Grace. Instead of being bound to the Law, we are now bound to Christ.

The Newness of life

Ben Foust
Romans 6:1-14

Paul explains that because we are dead to sin through Christ's crucifixion, we are also made alive through His resurrection. The implication of this truth is that we can live a new life under grace.

The God Who Chooses Failures

James Rochford
Exodus 2:11-4:20

The story of God calling Moses from the burning bush teaches us that God doesn't choose people based on their abilities and in fact He chooses people who are failures by the world's standards. In spite of all of Moses' doubts, fears, past failures and present shortcomings, God had a plan for Moses that was not hindered by his issues. At eighty years of age, Moses' story wasn't over yet, and neither is yours!

Introduction to The Letter

Ryan Lowery
1 Corinthians 1:1-9

Despite the highly immoral culture of Corinth, a church was able to be planted there. A few years after leaving them, Paul writes to the Corinthians to set them straight on a multitude of moral issues and encourage them back towards the main message of Christ.

Truth and Transformation

Jim Leffel
Titus 3:4-8

Titus sums up his argument that once we were sinful and apart from God, but now we have been saved by Grace. From this salvation, believers can go out and radically impart God's love onto others.

Spritual Adultery with the World-system

Gary DeLashmutt
James 4:1-10

James writes a blunt letter to bring his audience back to true spirituality. Their relational conflicts reveal a deeper issue of disordered desires and dysfunctional prayer-lives. Their love of the world-system has led them to be unfaithful to God. James calls them to restoration by returning to the Lord and rejecting the world-system's values. God will liberate them to live for Him and He will welcome them back into His loving presence.

God Our Savior

Jim Leffel
Titus 2:11-14

The human condition is a problem of lack of hope, of guilt, of alienation, and of purposelessness. But God is the solution to all of these problems. He gave Himself up for us so that He could redeem us, give us blessed hope, remove our guilt, purify us for His own and give us an eternal purpose.

Partiality

Ryan Weingartner
James 2:1-13

James calls on his audience to not show partiality towards others based on worldly standards but instead, keep themselves unstained by the world's values. Law-breaking earns judgment, but mercy triumphs over judgment.
