Click HERE to listen!
In this episode, we explore Romans 7:7-13, where Paul clarifies the purpose of the law and its role in revealing sin. Was the law itself sinful? Paul answers with a resounding no. Instead, the law acts as a mirror, exposing sin and showing us our need for a Savior. Join us as we discuss how the law highlights the destructive power of sin and why it ultimately points us to the grace and life found in Christ. Together, we’ll uncover the deeper purpose of the law and its place in God’s plan for salvation.
3 Key Takeaways:
The Law Reveals Sin: The law is not sinful but exposes the sin that already exists, helping us recognize our need for redemption.
Sin’s Deceptive Power: Sin uses the law to provoke rebellion within us, but it’s the sin, not the law, that leads to death.
The Goodness of the Law: The law is holy and good, designed to show us the seriousness of sin and our dependence on God's grace through Christ.

In this episode, we explore Romans 7:1-6, where Paul uses the analogy of marriage to explain our relationship with the law and Christ. Just as a widow is no longer bound to her late husband, believers are no longer bound to the law but are now united to Christ. We’ll unpack what it means to be released from the old way of living and how our new union with Christ empowers us to bear fruit for God. Tune in as we discuss this transformative shift from law to grace and how it impacts our daily walk with Jesus.
3 Key Takeaways:
Released from the Law: Through Christ’s death, we are no longer bound to the law but are free to live in the newness of the Spirit.
A New Union with Christ: Our relationship with Jesus is one of deep connection, allowing us to bear fruit for God and live a life that honors Him.

Click HERE to listen!
In today’s episode, we continue our journey through Romans 6, focusing on verses 15-23. Paul poses a critical question: Are you a slave to sin or a slave to God? We’ll explore the contrast between living under sin’s control and experiencing true freedom in obedience to God. As believers, we have a choice—either to serve sin, leading to death, or to serve God, leading to righteousness and eternal life. Let’s discover what it means to live as slaves to righteousness and embrace the life God has called us to.
3 Key Takeaways:
Freedom Through Obedience: True freedom is found in obedience to God, not in the pursuit of sin, which ultimately leads to death.
The Choice We Make: Every believer must choose whom they will serve—sin, which enslaves, or God, who offers life, purpose, and righteousness.
The Gift of Eternal Life: While sin pays the wages of death, God offers the free gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus to those who submit to His lordship.

In this episode, we explore Romans 5:1-12, a passage that powerfully articulates the depth of God's love for us. Paul discusses the peace and hope that come from being justified by faith, the joy in suffering because it produces perseverance, character, and hope, and the ultimate demonstration of God's love through the death of Christ for sinners.

Monday Jun 03, 2024
Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we dive into Romans 4 and explore the profound message of justification by faith. In this chapter, Paul emphasizes that righteousness is credited through faith, not works. Using the example of Abraham, Paul illustrates how faith in God's promises brings about righteousness, a principle that applies to all believers, both Jew and Gentile.
Key Points Discussed:
Abraham's Faith: How Abraham believed God's promises, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Faith vs. Works: Understanding that righteousness comes through faith, not by adhering to the law or performing good works.
Universal Application: The message that justification by faith is available to all, breaking down barriers between Jew and Gentile.
Implications for Believers: How this teaching impacts our understanding of faith, grace, and our relationship with God.
Reflection Questions:
How does Abraham’s example challenge your understanding of faith and works?
In what ways can you apply the principle of justification by faith in your daily life?
How does this chapter influence your view of God’s promises?
