Our Problem, God's Solution

Scott Risley
Romans 3:9-30

Paul explains humanity's problem with God--that all have fallen short of God's perfect standard and deserve judgment. Now he transitions to explaining God's solution to our problem: forgiveness through faith in Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. When we place our trust in Christ we are freely forgiven and can enjoy humble unity with one another.

The Unthinkable Solution to the Human Condition

James Rochford
Romans 3:1-31

Paul describes humanity's problem--that we are hopelessly guilty before God because of our sin. Then he outlines God's unthinkable solution, to offer Jesus as a sacrificial substitute in our place so that we could freely be made right before God.

Seeing God Through His Creation (Part 1)

Scott Risley
Romans 1:18-20

In Romans 1, Paul makes the case that God has made Himself plainly known through his creation so that men are without excuse. Modern scientific findings show a remarkable level of fine-tuning in the universe, suggesting an infinite and extremely intelligent creator God.

The Good News

Dennis McCallum
Romans 1:1-17

God has made Himself evident. Through the wonder and awe of nature, we can see God's attributes. This teaching covers the idea of General Revelation--that God is there and He is not silent.

The Power of the Good News

Scott Risley
Romans 1:1-17

The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough explanation of the Gospel in scripture. It has influenced many game-changers of the faith, including Martin Luther and John Wesley. This letter makes clear that salvation is by faith alone and, as Paul writes in chapter one, demonstrates that the Gospel "is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes."

Really Great News!

James Rochford
Romans 1:1-17

The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough explanation of the Gospel in scripture. This letter makes clear that salvation is by faith alone and, as Paul writes in chapter one, demonstrates that the Gospel "is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes." We can be confident that the Gospel is true and Jesus really is the Son of God by examining the fulfilled prophecies of the Old Testament that point to Christ.

Paul's Testimony

Ben Foust
Acts 25:1-26:32

After a long ministry, Paul's life ends in imprisonment, just as God had revealed it would. Nevertheless, he faithfully shares his story of how Jesus transformed his life and gives the gospel to anyone who will listen. Paul is an example of a life lived faithfully to the end and of God working in even the hardest of circumstances for the good.

The Smell of Victory

Scott Risley
2 Corinthians 2:14-16

Paul uses the tradition of the triumphal entry of a victorious Roman general into the city to explain the victory of Christ on the cross. To some, the Roman parade was a cause for celebration, to others it represented the sentence of death. In the same way, the gospel is a polarizing message for people today.

Paul's Speech to the Jews

Ben Foust
Acts 13:14-52

Paul presents the gospel in Pisidian Antioch, where many people respond favorably, while others do not. Using the Old Testament, he gives evidence that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah, and that God always intended to bring salvation, not just to the Jewish people, but to the whole world.
