This week, Rick reflects on the last 3 weeks of teaching from Romans 14. The focus of Romans 14 is to show us how we learn to live together. Rick uses Matthew 15:16-21 and Colossians 3:12-17 to reflect what is taught in Romans. The law was set up to show our need for grace, to lead us to our need for forgiveness, and to show us what is in our hearts. This grace of faith has made us alive and can cause us to be willing to live for Him. At the conclusion, Rick asks us to pray for 3 things: hope and healing in our hearts and the hearts of those we know are hurting, for the alignment and forward movement of our church and unity in the body, and that out of this church that Christ would stir vision and dreams in a broken world.

May 2, 2021 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 16:25–27
This week, Greg finished our series on Romans. He taught from Romans 16:25-27. Greg references Paul's thesis stated in Romans 1:16-17. To be righteous is to be what God requires of us, and Paul says we can only achieve this through faith. Romans shows us that we must put our faith in Jesus and the cross. We cannot simply believe the facts of Christ's life, we must trust in Him and have the obedience of faith.
Pursuing, Protecting, & Restoring Unity
April 25, 2021 • Rick Dunn • Romans 16:17–23, 1 Timothy 6:3–6, Jeremiah 14:14, Matthew 7:14
This week, Rick teaches on Romans 16:17-23. In these verses, Paul speaks about false teachers and false prophets. Those who are false teachers are longing for status, money, and power and we as humans are easily drawn to these things. As believers, we must battle against these things and work towards unity. We do this by not diluting the truth or diminishing the grace of the Gospel, but by serving with the truth of the Gospel.
New People, New Family, New Mission
April 18, 2021 • RD McClenagan • Romans 16:1–16
This week, RD teaches on Romans 16:1-16. In these verses, Paul lists out 28 names of people active in the church of Rome and who were living out the mission of Jesus. This group of people were all from different classes and economic statuses, they were different genders, and different races and ethnicities. However, Paul uses this to show that there is not a specific type of person that can become a Christian - it is open for everyone. Through Christ, they were given new life and became new people, they were given a new family in the church, and a new mission for their lives.
