Today was SUPPOSED the be the penultimate sermon in our Snowbirding sermon series. However, due to a lack of attention span on my end, I accidentlaly studied through 1 Corinthians 15 instead of Romans 15! However, it turned out to be a good thing as many of us needed to be reminded of our hope in not just Christ being put to death for us, but coming back ALIVE for us and being alive TODAY. So grab...

The sermon focuses on Romans 9:30 - 10:13 , discussing the contrast between the Gentiles who obtained righteousness through faith and the Jewish people who sought it through works of the law. The pastor emphasizes how the Jewish people, particularly the Pharisees, had great zeal for God but lacked proper knowledge, leading them to pursue their own righteousness rather than God's righteousness thro...

Romans 9 is one of the chapters of the Bible that could be (and have been) talked about for years and we still have not come to its final full conclusion. But, God has given us what WE need to know and He knows the rest. Take some extra time with us today as we dive deeper into the specific doctrine of election and how God is glorified in His sovereignty. Hopefully some questions you may have had...

Today we focus in on the doctrine of God's sovereign election of the saints. What do we know about this doctrine, how is it applicable to our lives, and why is it important to have an accurate knowledge of this? We dig in to this topic for our Romans 9 section of the Snowbirding in Rome series!

Today marks week 3 that we've been in Romans 8 and today we wrap up one of the most important chapters in the entire bible. 

Today marks one of our most important messages to date. Living in the new identity we have in Christ given to us by the Spirit of God and how it effects every area of our life.   **PLEASE NOTE** We had some minor tech difficulties so you will hear a small jump in the sermon at the 10:46 mark, but the message continues uninterrupted after that. Sorry!

In today's sermon we dive into the complexities of enslavement to sin and being a slave to Christ. How do we reconcile being a slave to Christ and being set free in Christ?

Today on The Dwelling Place Lounge we cover some of our tracks from previous episodes that we've missed and then dive further into our current sermon over Romans 6. What does it mean to be under the federal headship of Adam or Christ? How does that effect our walk with Jesus and show the true statement of our salvation? Grab some coffee and join us as we learn more about God, together!

Throughout Romans we've learned about the depravity of sin, the reality of judgement, the justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, and now we are moving in to holy living in the life of the believer. Paul discusses how we are dead to sin and through Christ's sacrifice we can be made alive to God and dead to sin, just like Himself. 

Today we round out chapter 5 of Romans with comparing the act of Adam to the finished work of Christ. 

Today we mark 3 major things that happen as we are saved through Christ by faith alone. We also dive in to how these 3 things reveal themselves in times of suffering and how God uses suffering to continue in the sanctification process and to ultimately glorify Himself!
