Paul’s revelation of how God’s grace brings us from death to life is glorious, but before he unpacks it, he says some of the most unpopular, politically incorrect things pastors like to avoid. This weekend we return to the sin spiral. It’s the second half of the first chapter, and it’s the truth we desperately need to enjoy true freedom.
#3 Escaping the Sin Spiral

#36 Arrivederci, Amen!

The end of our Romans series covers more practical advice from Paul for our relationships. Addressing some of the same issues that divided the first century Christians, the apostle talks about judging others, enduring differences, understanding our liberty in Christ, and appreciating what’s good and right about less-than-perfect people. Invite some of your less-than-perfect friends who need an encounter with the good and perfect God!
#35 God & Government
December 18, 2022 • Ron Tucker
We’re still studying Romans, and God’s still got great plans for this planet! He sent His Son Jesus to save us from our sins, and He’s coming back to rule here. One of the great Christmas scriptures is from the Old Testament prophecy about the Savior in Isaiah 9:6,7: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.”
#33 Actually Being the Church
November 20, 2022
We’re going back to Romans 12 where Paul describes true love in the church, the practical, visible ways we can act like the body of Christ to others. He’s showing us how to learn and grow spiritual muscle, so we’ll be ready and useable in the days ahead.
