This week we look at what is often referred to as the "golden chain of salvation". In this chain, we see five links that show us God's incredible work in salvation and the complete security the Christian has in their salvation. God foreknew God predestined God called God justified God glorified

This week we look at one of the most beloved verses in all of Romans. It is a tremendously comforting verse as we see God's great promise and plan for His people. The Content of God's Great Promise and Plan Power: God causes all things to work together for good (28b) Sovereignty: God's designed purpose will be carried out (28d) The Extent of God's Great Promise and Plan This promise is for the Chr...

In this passage, we see the groanings of creation, believers, and the Holy Spirit. All of which points us to the hope we have in God. Creation Groans (v19-22) Creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God Creation was unwillingly subjected to futility Creation will be set free from this bondage Believers Groan (v23-25) Believers eagerly wait for the full redemption of their bodies Believers...

This week, Connor Greene will be teaching on biblical conviction and looking at examples from Daniel, Esther, and the Gospels, of what it looks like to stand up for your faith, especially when facing opposition to God's Word. Daniel's Resolve Esther's Commitment Jesus as our Example

Guest speaker Josiah Patterson teaches on what it means to surrender your life to Christ. The Object (Ex. 34:5-7) The Cost (Phil. 2:1-11) The Action (Lk. 9:23-24)

Guest speaker Alex Ayala teaches on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Be a Pilgrim (v57-58) Follow Jesus (v59-60) Do not look back (v61-62)

Guest Speaker Damon Duncan teaches on the will of God. How do we know if we are in God's will? What if we have a decision to make and we choose the opposite of what God "wanted" me to choose? Can God's will be thwarted? Who/What we put our trust in is paramount Leaning on anything but Jesus is futile Christians acknowledge God in their live God will sanctify you

Those that are children of God have an inheritance waiting for them. We will see how having your mind set on your inheritance dramatically changes how you live your life here on earth. The source of our inheritance: All children of God are heirs of God All children of God are heirs with Christ The promise of our inheritance: The promise of future glory The promise of present suffering The perspect...

As Paul continues his argument of the Christian's full assurance of salvation, he explains one of the most beautiful and intimate truths of the believer's relationship with God... That of a beloved child. We will examine what it means to be part of the family of God. To be part of the family of God means to: Be led by the Spirit (v14) Have brothers and sisters (v14) Be adopted as a child of God (v...

In this passage, Paul talks about the power of the Holy Spirit. We will see that the change of nature (caused by the Holy Spirit) results in a change in how we live our life (empowered by the Holy Spirit). The Change in Nature (5-11): Those in the flesh set their minds on the flesh, those in the Spirit set their minds on the Spirit. Those in the flesh are hostile to God, those in the Spirit are in...

At the start of one of the most beloved chapters in all of Scripture, we see a beautiful description of the gospel, and the effective work the gospel has in the Christian's life. The Magnificent Truth (v1): Truth: This magnificent truth is only for the Chrisitan Truth: There is no condemnation for the Christian Truth: There has been a positional change for the Christian The Trinitarian Work (v2-3)...

What does it look like to mature in Christ? Is it becoming more aware of how good you have become, or is it becoming more aware of how sinful you are and how desperate you need the grace of God? In this passage, we see an inside look at Paul's inward wrestle and agony of his own sin. The Battle Within (v14-23): The mature Christian knows his insufficiencies The mature Christian hates his sin The m...

In response to saying that the Christian is no longer bound to the law but is now bound to Christ, Paul makes clear that the law is still good. Paul shows us the purpose of the law and the fruit of the law, ultimately showing us our great need for Christ. The purpose of the law (v7-8) The law reveals sin (7) The law awakens sin (8) The fruit of the law (v9-13) The law exposes the death that alread...

Our guest speaker, Pastor Jim Franklin, teaches from the book of Phillippians about "Living a Life Worthy of the Gospel of Christ". Paul's Conviction (1:21) Paul's Mindset (2:5-11) Paul's Treasure (3:7-8)

Paul provides an illustration to show how the Christian is no longer bound by the law, but instead is free from that bondage and is now bound to Christ and is free to live for Him. The Old and New Union (v1-4): Death breaks the binding power of the law (v1-2) Death provides freedom for a new union (v3-4) The Old and New Life (v5-6): This new life brings death to the old self (v5) This new life rel...

Paul lays out two different paths: One path, in which the Christian was once on, and a new path that the Christian is now on. The path of sin (which is our natural path apart from Christ) leads to destruction. The path of God (which is only possible through Christ) leads to victory. The Path of Sin: Leads to more sin Is free from righteousness Results in death The Path of God: Leads to sanctificat...

Freedom from the law and living under grace does not lead to sin, but instead leads to becoming a slave of God, which leads to righteousness and obedience. In this passage, we will see 4 truths about what it means to be a slave, as we self asses under whose chains we belong. Everyone is a slave Your slavery leads to either death or righteousness God is the only one who can redeem you Those who hav...

This is the first time in Paul's epistle that he urges his readers to do something. We will see in this passage four imperatives as to how the Christian is to live in light of being united with Christ, followed by one indicative reminding us of the grace we have received. The Command (v11-13): Christian: Be confident - that you are dead to sin and alive to God Christian: Do not - let sin reign in...
