Credited By Faith / Romans 4

After telling us how we can be justified by faith, Romans 4 outlines how this amazing free gift is received - by faith.

The Most Important Paragraph Ever Written / Romans 3:21-31

Romans 3 contains what Leon Morris calls, ‘possibly the most important single paragraph ever written’. In this talk, we see why that’s the case.

The Renewal We All Need / Titus 3:4-6, Ephesians 4:20-24

To mark the occasion of the reveal of our new church name, we see how Jesus alone brings the renewal we all need to make us his renewed people.

God's Judgement And The Jews / Romans 2:17-3:8

To the Jew who thinks that simply being a Jew, or simply having the law or circumcision means they will be spared from God’s wrath on the day of judgment, Paul points out that God’s standard is not having the law but keeping the law. God is not impressed by the merely outward appearance of external religion. Jews and Gentiles alike will be found without excuse and guilty on the day of God’s wrath.

Even religious people need Jesus / Romans 2:1-16

So often we try to excuse ourselves from God’s judgment by playing the comparison game saying to ourselves: “At least I’m not as bad as …..”. Romans 2 exposes that heart and says all humanity falls under God’s judgment.
