We Will Be Upheld

February 7, 2021 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 5:13–15, Romans 14:1–6, Galatians 2:11–16

This week, Greg teaches from Romans 14:1-6. In Romans 14, Paul focuses on how we are to live together peacefully when dealing with issues that God has not given a specific command about. The Jews and Greeks that converted to Christianity came from different cultures, religions, politics, and races, and they were coming together to build a Christian church. They were dealing with issues such as food they were allowed to eat, drinking alcohol, and the correct day to worship. Greg walks us through what we do when we end up in similar circumstances.

To God Glory Forevermore

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.
