Hope Church Merthyr Podcast

The opening words to Mark's gospel account are loaded with clues that point us back to the beginning of a different story...

We kick of our series in the gospel of Mark with an overview of the book's main theme: revealing Jesus' true identity.

As we wrap up Romans, what does it look like for the grand message of this letter to be lived out in a community?

Paul Gaskin takes us through the penultimate chapter of Romans, seeing the big picture of Paul's apostolic mission.

Can the church still stay united when it comes to differing perspectives on secondary issues? How do we navigate this well?

The Apostle Paul writes with pastoral wisdom to a church that has to live in Caesar’s empire while being allegiant to Jesus.

What does it look like when the love of God gets lived out in a community? In our relationships to one another, strangers, and even enemies.

Romans 12:1-8

In this final overview chunk of Romans, we see what kind of church the gospel produces: a church united, despite its diversity.

In an overview of Romans 9-11, we see how God is faithful to his people and is sovereignly at work to bring salvation to all people.

The Apostle Paul presents a vision of the future that fills us with a hope so glorious it's not worth comparing to our suffering.

How does life in the power of the Holy Spirit set us free from condemnation, sin, and death? The Apostle Paul explains all in Romans 8!

Romans 7 has been the subject of much debate. The Apostle Paul seems to contradict himself. So what is our relationship to sin now?

The Apostle Paul has painted a beautiful picture about how God’s grace abounds beyond our sin. So does that mean we can just keep sinning?

God has transferred us from the line of Adam—defined by sin and death—into the line of Jesus—defined by righteousness and life.

In Romans 5 the Apostle Paul outlines layer upon layer of the good news that we now have in Jesus. When you think he's done, there's more!

In Romans 4, the Apostle Paul shows how works, circumcision, and the law can't make us righteous. It's always been through faith—a gift.

In Romans 4-8, the Apostle Paul outlines a new way to be human now in Jesus. It's based on faith, governed by grace, empowered by the Spirit.

Having confronted us with the bad news, the Apostle Paul unloads the wonderful good news of salvation in Jesus for all through faith.

The gospel isn't just for the shamelessly immoral, but for the self-confident religious types who trust in their own morality.

Romans 2

We all know that something is wrong. With the world. With us. With me. What is the universal problem? And what’s the solution? At 2:40 the sermon starts, so don't panic if you think you missed the start and feel free to skip ahead.

We set the scene for what was going on at the Roman church and how the gospel, centring on Jesus, changes everything.

What does our maturity and Christlikeness have to do with mission? The final message of our Grow Up series!
