In the Word with Michele Telfer

Lesson 12 - Love One Another!

Romans 13:8–14, Romans 14

Romans 13:8-14:23 Unity within the body of Christ is not the same as uniformity. We can hold to the key tenants of our faith while still holding different opinions about the way in which we are to worship God and live for him. This does not mean that we should ever compromise on the key principles of Christianity, or that we are to disregard matters of sin, but we should not allow differing opinions about lesser things to divide us.

Lesson 1 - Not Ashamed of the Gospel

Romans 1:1–17

Romans 1:1-17 Paul was speaking at a very evil time in history it was not easy for Christians and yet he revealed in Romans 1 that he was “not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.” God’s offer of salvation that comes by faith in Christ’s sacrifice has the power to truly transform our lives!

Lesson 2 - How the Universe Works

Romans 1:18–32

Romans 1:18-32 Creation reveals there is an order to the universe, a set of “rules” by which things operate that we ignore at our own loss or peril. For example, disregard the law of gravity and see how quickly you fall. There is a moral order built into the universe as well, which God made known through His dealings with Israel and through His messengers, the prophets. Living according to God’s moral order results in peace and blessing; but ignoring it will ultimately lead to shame, degradation and spiritual ruin.

Lesson 3 - True Faith is Proved by How We Live!

Romans 3:1–8, Romans 2

Romans 2:1-3:8 Paul’s hope was that coming face to face with their great need and their sinfulness, would push the Jews toward Christ and repentance as their only hope for salvation. It was his greatest desire for them…and also mine for you today!
