Today we look at Romans 15:8-12 and God's desire to bless the Gentiles as well. It is important to remember that the promises and covenants of the Old Testament were given to Israel, not the Gentiles. But in the Body of Christ, Jew and Gentile possess equal standing and blessings.

Today, we start our study of Romans 15 and Paul's admonition for us to be likeminded in Christ toward one another in love.

We continue our study of Romans 13 and the obligation of believer to love one another and thus fulfill the law of Christ

We continue our study of Romans 12, focusing on verses as to how members of the Body of Christ should be interacting with each other based upon the love of Christ.

In this episode, we look at Romans 12:4-8. These verses emphasize the truths that every believer is a member of the Body of Christ, placed there by God for a specific function and given a spiritual gift. This is for the purpose of uplifting the Body of Christ and fellow members/believers.

Today, we look at one verse, Romans 12:3, and how the believer needs to have the correct evaluation of themselves which only comes from God's word and the renewing of our minds.                                            

In this episode, we now turn our attention to the practical section of Romans and the admonition for the believer to present themselves to God on the basis of God's mercies found in the 11 previous chapters of Romans.

Today, we finish our study of Romans 9-11 and see what is the relationship of Israel to the Church. Paul also clearly presents that God's promises are never retracted and will always find their fulfillment as they will in Israel when Christ returns to set up His kingdom.

Today, we look at Romans 11:16-24 and the illustrations of the lump and the branches and how they apply to Israel and the Gentiles.

We now turn our attention to Romans 11, in which God makes it absolutely clear that He has not cast away the nation of Israel nor forsaken His promises to them.

Today, we finish up Romans 10 looking at the rejection of the gospel by the nation of Israel and the preaching of it to the Gentiles.

Today, we look at Romans 10:11-15 in which Paul writes that for the Jew in this present age, they have the opportunity to believe on Jesus Christ for salvation just like the Gentile does.

In this episode, we continue our study of Romans 10, looking at verses 10:5-11 and that availability of the gospel to all, both Jew and Gentile.
