A Reason for our Hope: Messiah Resurrected Alive in the Spirit

Romans 8: Who will separate us from the love of Messiah?

We discuss the gift and beauty of Romans 8:26-39. Rom 8:27-28 "And God who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. Rom 8:31-32 "What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son but gave him up for all of us, how will he not with him also give us everything else?". Rom 8:35 'Who will separate us from the love of Christ/Messiah?" Rom 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels,nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Faith and Obedience: Abraham's Binding of Isaac and Romans 6 Slaves to Sin or Righteousness

We discuss how Abraham's faith in the promises of God, and Hebrews 11 insight into Abraham's faith in the resurrection. We discuss God's forshadowing Yeshua in Gen 22:8 "God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering,my son." We continue with Romans 6 and compare and contrast being "under law and under grace".

God's Faithfulness in Action

We discuss the lectionary for Third Sunday after Pentecost: Genesis 18:1-15, Romans 5:1-8. In Gen 18 The LORD appears to Abraham and promises the birth of Isaac as fulfillment of His promises even at Abraham and Sarah's advanced ages. Gen 18:14 "Is anything too wonderful for the LORD?" And at the appointed time Isaac was born! God's faithfulness to His promises is certain. Rom 5:8 "God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:1 "Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God." Rom5:5 "and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
