The 1015 - Inseparable

In Romans 8, Paul shares the truth about the seemingly insurmountable forces of sin, the law, and the suffering in the flesh that we face: God is for us, is eternally-present with us, and we look forward in patience and confident hope to the day we are fully made new.

The 1015 - Saved from Myself

In Romans 6-8, Paul tells the church at Rome that while we are righteous and are being made holy, there are powerful forces arrayed against us: sin, the law, and our own flesh and pending death. Our most powerful enemy is...ourselves. In Romans 7, we learn that our hope is found in Jesus Christ alone.

The 1015 - Stockholm Syndrome

Through Christ, we've been included in God's Kingdom, an undeserved privilege, with full access and ability to live out the reality of the Christian life. How are we to respond to the sin that constantly surrounds us?

The 1015 - Receiving the Gift

As we read through Romans 5, we see that Jesus saved us while we were utterly helpless, sinful, and enemies of God. This salvation was a free gift and affects our lives, but only if we receive it.

The 1015 - Abraham: Faith and Righteousness

In Romans 4, Paul is going to talk about God's righteousness demonstrated through the faithfulness of Abraham. We're going to see three things:
- God’s righteousness is a gift, not a wage.
- (Because it’s a gift) God’s righteousness is available to all.
- God, through his righteousness, brings dead things back to life.

The 1015 - Ask the Pastor

Paul takes a moment in chapter 3 to respond to questions arising from the first two chapters of Romans. In doing so, he reminds the church at Rome of the way God has saved them through Jesus Christ. 

The 1015 - A Circumcised Heart

God’s people are not his because they look and act the part, they are His because of a new heart and inward change.

The 1015 - The Fullness of the Gospel

In Romans 1 Paul describes the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The 1015 - Reading Romans Backwards

Paul's gospel to the church(-es) at Rome was written to a specific people at a specific time, for a specific reason. Who were the people to whom it was written? What was their situation and to what circumstance was Paul writing into? Why did this message matter to them, and what does it mean for us? Our main texts this week will be Romans 16:1-18 and Romans 1:1-17.

The 1015 - Called Me Higher

As we wrap up our series, our pastors will talk about the specific ways we strive to equip the body. We will be discussing Acts 2:42-47, Hebrews 10:24-25, and Ephesians 4:11-16 and how we apply those verses to each of our specific ministry areas.
