We come once more in our careful study of word of God given through the apostle Paul in the eighth chapter of his letter to the Romans, where we have been studying these last several weeks the grand statements of the gospel to be found in verses 3 and 4 , For what the Law could not do, weak as it was…

Introduction There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak…

1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the…

Last week we discussed the truth that we are all addicted to something. And we need to admit that we are powerless, that in our own power our lives are unmanageable. Until we admit this, we will keep living broken, miserable lives. As Paul wrote: For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that…

Introduction Have you ever heard of a laughing heir? I’m not talking about laughing gas, I’m talking about when someone gets a call from a lawyer saying, “your rich uncle passed away and left you all his money!” It’s when you didn’t realize you would inherit something, but suddenly someone tells you…

Once again we are looking this morning at the 3rd and 4th verses of the eight chapter of Paul’s epistle to the Romans, where we read, For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did : sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned…

There are many people calling themselves “Christian” who have a critically flawed view of what it means to be a Christian, on account of failing to understand just what it means to say “therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” For example, there are those whose view…

We have been looking for some time now at what God has accomplished in providing the miracle of salvation in this first great argument supporting Paul's amazing claim in Romans 8:1 , that “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” And as we have found in our study, this…

There is a certain challenge when working as carefully and as intimately through Scripture as we do here in Christian Life Hour, in that such an examination can at times be in danger of missing the general theme or context of the larger passage. For indeed, many have failed to see the line of Scripture,…

The resurrection and born again experience is not something that is merely written in books but rather upon the hearts of men. This resurrection of Jesus Christ was the culmination and crescendo of the entire plan of redemption for mankind. It was, I would say the most important and significant events…

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that…

Intro We are in week #9 in the study of the Fruit of the Spirit. We are doing this because of the time we are in. Things are so toxic and it’s a great opportunity for us to live out these characteristics so others can see. I believe it’s so important for people to see Jesus living in us and these fruit…

The Good News of Therefore We dive in today to a great chapter of scripture. Some of the great theologians throughout history, including Augustine and Luther, viewed Romans as the single most important book a Christian should learn. In it is contained the gospel, the bad news that we need a Savior and…

As we begin our study this morning, I want to remind you that we are looking at the first of six great arguments which Paul has provided to prove beyond doubt the truth of his great statement in Romans 8:1 , “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” And I trust you recall…

Introduction I have heard it said that Romans 8 is the greatest chapter in the Bible. I don’t know if I would go that far but… It is a great chapter. It tells the believer that he or she is a child of God whose life is totally overshadowed by the protective hand of a loving, heavenly Father. We will…

1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible…

TEXT: GALATIANS 2:11-16 | THE ONLY TWO RELIGIONS INTRO EXPLANATION : Over the past couple weeks we have read as Peter came to Antioch and at first seemed to confirm the position that Paul had taken and the message he had preached. But as we saw, somewhere along the way a group of Jewish religious leaders…

We are a people who treat weakness with gentleness and love.

As we continue our careful, verse-by-verse-by-verse study in Paul’s epistle to the Romans, we have already encountered a great many objections in Scripture to thinking which we may have in one way or another become accustomed to. And, of course, that, in part, is the purpose for our careful and methodical…

I want to begin this morning with an anonymous story I found online “While watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going to church, I watched a church in Atlanta honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired many years. He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the church even bothered to…

Galatians 5:13-18 We have been going through a series looking at very carefully the relationship we have with the Holy Spirit. When we are yielded to God we can take part in what I am calling the Great Life. It is a life promised to us where we have help and guidance and love and joy and peace, as well…

Dying to the Law We finished Romans chapter 6 with this great quote 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Much of chapter 6 was about dying to sin. Remember in Christ you died to sin as he died to sin for us In baptism we symbolize our death to…
