Romans

Introduction to Romans

November 10, 2013 • Pastor Mark Kirk

As with every new book study, Romans is no different! Pastor Mark will set the stage with a look at the history of Rome, the people of Rome, the culture of the day and the list goes on. And one more thing we'll review and that's the prophetic significance of Rome. So fasten your seatbelts, this is going to be a wild introduction!

Paul Explains His Call

November 17, 2013 • Pastor Mark Kirk

Paul had the credentials that needed to be turned into credibility for the ministry. While his background uniquely qualified him for the task at hand when it came to the Roman government and society, there was a lot to overcome from his past.

Unashamed of the Gospel

November 24, 2013 • Pastor Mark Kirk

What God's Word tells us isn't always the same as what our emotions or the people around us are saying but God's Word is always right. Yet the society in Paul's day had plenty to say against the Christian that was causing shame, guilt and disgrace. Pastor Mark will explain why Paul felt none of these things when it came to his stand for and relationship with Jesus. How about you? Are you "Unashamed of the Gospel?"

The Wrath of God

December 8, 2013 • Pastor Mark Kirk

God is a God of love. But is that all there is to Him? No, there is another side of God and understanding that side of Him is not only important for us in the here and now but also for eternity. We'll see that our God is also a God of justice and judgement, which is why we need to explore the "Wrath of God."

The Accountability of Man

December 15, 2013 • Pastor Mark Kirk

When it comes to our sin there's no justification before God. Man has a choice and is not ignorant of it, as Pastor Mark will tell us that God has given man more than enough evidence, proof and instruction. Here on earth it's the excuses of man but before God it's "The Accountability of Man!"

Given Over To Sin

December 29, 2013 • Pastor Mark Kirk

As hard as this may seem on the surface, if any of us choose to continue in sin after being convicted about it, the Bible says God will 'turn us over' to that sin to let it destroy our flesh so that our spirit might be saved. So how does that work that in order to 'save' our spirit we 'destroy' our flesh? What does that mean? Hard questions but teh answers make sense from God's perspective and especially after you've been "Given Over To Sin."

Deserving of Death

January 5, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

You've heard the saying..."He or she got what they deserved!" In the case of people like Adolf Hitler or Charles Manson, if we said they deserve death, most of you would quickly agree. How about you? Maybe you've lead a pretty good and giving life - nothing even close to Hitler or Manson. So what if we said you deserved death as well? Well actually Pastor Mark is going to make that statement, we'll see it's actually the Bible that declares each of us are "Deserving of Death!"

Condemning Self Righteous Judgment

January 12, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

Pastor Mark begins with a warning that we need to heed whether you live in the south of not! God Himself will warn us of this hypocrisy. It comes from when we're living in sin ourselves and then we turn around and condemn others, when in reality we are condemning ourselves at the same time because we too are guilty. Are you ready to start "Condemning Self Righteous Judgment?"

False Security

January 19, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

You don't have to look far to find people who feel secure about the future because they think they're a good person, while others feel secure because they've convinced themselves that a 'God of Love' could never judge anyone. The Jews felt secure about their future simply because they were Jews or how they were raised in the Temple, much like people thinking they're a Christian just because they go to church every Sunday! The problem with all of these reasons and others is that it is a "False Security."

All Guilty Before God

January 26, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

Some people believe they'll have no problem getting to Heaven without Jesus. Others believe if they do more good things than bad things God will accept them. And some have gone so far as to invent disposable guilt bags! Pastor Mark will explain what those are and how they or any other contraption won't work. There's simply no escape, but yet there is! It's all revealed once we come to terms with the fact that we're "All Guilty Before God!"

Justified by Faith

February 2, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

Let's say you're accused, convicted and sent to prison for a crime you didn't commit. Then the real criminal confesses and you're pardoned. Pardoned? But you didn't do it! I mean you're grateful to be set free but you didn't do it! Now let's take your sin before God which you are guilty of. Do you think the blood of Christ pardons you? Actually the blood of Christ does more, but only when you're "Justified by Faith!"

No Boasting!

February 9, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

Often times we think it's 'us' when it comes to certain acheivements when it's really 'someone else' whose giving us what we need. Pastor Mark will explain by way of a funny story! But there's nothing funny about people trying to work their way into Heaven. So Paul is going to shut down that 'glory train' and why for the Christian there can be "No Boasting!"

Courtroom Shocker!

February 16, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

We're about to enter Paul's court of reason where 3 witnesses will be called to take the stand. Now these aren't just innocent bystanders, but the biggest heroes of the Jewish faith! We're talking about Abraham their father, David their king and Moses their lawgiver. And what these 3 will share is nothing short of a "Courtroom Shocker!"

What's Your Favorite Brand?

March 2, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

When people get excited about a product they usually tell their friends on social media or face to face and maybe even write the company a letter telling them how impressed they are with their product. "What's Your Favorite Brand?" That's the title of our teaching, but it won't take you long to figure out that Pastor Mark isn't talking about your favorite ice cream, cell phone or pair of jeans!

Born That Way

March 9, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kirk

No matter how we came into this world, the Bible says we can turn from whichever things we consider we can't help and be born again in Jesus. To which Pastor Mark is going to share a profound truth, and that is God would never allow a person to be condemned to hell for something they could not help, because they were "Born That Way."
