In Romans 10:14-15 it shows us the process to get the gospel to unbelievers.

As we complete our 3 part series on the Promise of Life in Romans 10, we look at five things it shows us that Christ is.

God's Law gives the promise of life. But why can we not achieve that life by following the Law?

In Romans 10:5, Paul is saying that the Law that God gave Moses can give life. We look today at what that means and why we still need Jesus.

Many Jews and religious people think that if they do enough good stuff, that will get them to heaven. But being zealous about something isn't enough.

Christ is often a stumbling block for religious people because they are looking for righteousness in the wrong place.

When we try to make our salvation about what we have done to attain it, we start relying too much on what we think we can do to get it and to keep it, But we are not able to and when we think we can, we start thinking too much of ourselves.

Some people think that, in the Church Age, God is done with the people of Israel. But a closer look at Romans 9 shows us that He still has plans and a purpose for His chosen people.

God has the sovereign right, as the Potter, to mold His vessels into whatever He pleases, whether for honorable use or dishonorable.

Paul tries to answer questions that people may have before they ask them, such as - is God fair? Is God unjust to exercise His sovereign choice? Why then does God still seem to blame us?

As we look at God's sovereignty, it shows us that justice does not demand mercy. God's righteousness demands mercy, but in His sovereignty, He provides mercy.

Some people wonder, with the focus being on the Church now, is Israel no longer important. Paul, in Romans 9, shows us that Israel was and is still important to us and God.

As we get back into our study of the book of Romans, we see that Paul did not say that God abandoned the Israelites, as some people think. They are still God's special people and he still has a plan for them.

As we finish this summer series looking at "Why Church?" and what makes a church healthy, we look at maturity, stability and being willing to serve.

One sign of a healthy church is humility and being willing to surrender - thinking of others more than you think of yourself.

As we take a final look at the verses surrounding John 6:29, we focus on who Jesus says He is.

Fellowship and communion are similar, but they are not the same. We look at how those differences relate to our interaction with God and others.

The real work of God is to believe in Jesus, His Son. But what is the meaning of that phrase?

God designed the church to be a partnership between Him and the ones He has called. Our focus is to be on Him, not others, either in the church or outside it.

The Bible stresses the importance of membership in a local church. Here we look at what it is and what it is not.

Today, we start a new series on why the Bible says church is so important.

In Romans 9, Paul talks about his burden for his unsaved Jewish brothers and shows us how deeply he is concerned for them.

At the end of the 8th chapter of Romans, Paul puts together a list of extremes to show us that absolutely nothing can get past the sovereignty of God to try to separate us from His love for us.

God's love and sovereignty, through Christ's work on the cross, show us that He provides the ultimate security for our future with Him.

God provides absolute security and sovereignty, as only He can. God is always in control of allthings and is constantly at work in accomplishing His plan.
