How’s Your Love Life?
Series: Romans
Our love as Christ-followers should be evident to everyone around us, whether they are fellow believers or not.  In the final 13 verses of Romans 12, Paul gives us a staccato barrage of a variety of commands which can be grouped under these three banners: 1) We are to Love Sincerely; 2) We are to Live in Harmony; 3) We are to Refuse to Retaliate.
 
Love is at the heart of living as a Christian.
 
 
Romans 12:9-21

    Seeing God for Who He Is
    Series: Romans
    Having spent the first 11 chapters of Romans looking at the Gospel, Paul now takes the last 4 verses of Romans 11 to praise God.  As he does, he shows us that God is greater than we can possibly imagine, and that God deserves our everlasting praise.
     
    Make a point to humbly praise God for His greatness.

    God’s Vineyard
    Series: (All)
    Through a parable in the form of a song, Isaiah tells a story about God's Vineyard.  His purposes are to encourage us to maximize all that God has given us; to recognize that God has expectations for us; and to pursue justice and righteousness.
     
    We do not belong to ourselves, we are the workmanship of God.

    The Authentic Word of God
    Series: (All)
    The Bible has always been attacked by those who are opposed to God and Christianity.  In light of the growing trend to see the Bible as just a collection of fables, legends, history, and moral precepts, we must remind ourselves why we believe the Bible is the literal word of God, given to us as our source of authority for faith and practice.
     
    The Bible is the word of God, written for your benefit.  It is food for your soul, guidance for your life, and your foundation for living.

    The Mystery of God’s Mercy
    Series: Romans
    Many people enjoy a good mystery.  But, I suppose that's only true if the mystery is revealed by the end of the story.  In Romans 11:25-32, Paul explains something of the mystery of God’s mercy.  When it comes to saving people from the horrible consequences of their sin, something God freely offers to do, no one person or people group is more deserving than any other.
     
    There are four truths about salvation which show up in this passage: 1) Salvation is a humbling revelation of a hidden truth; 2) Salvation is supported by Scripture; 3) Salvation is grounded in God’s promise; and 4) Salvation shows us God’s mercy.
     
    There is no place for pride in salvation – we all need God’s mercy.

    Stumbling Out of Sin into Salvation
    Series: Romans
    Driving down a twisty mountain road, coming home from a camping trip, one of our daughters got car sick.  We had to pull over to get her cleaned up.  A few minutes later, some of our friends with whom we'd been camping pulled up behind us to see if everything was okay.  As my friend was walking back to his car, he happened to cast a glance at the wheel on the trailer he was towing and discovered that the bearings had failed, and the wheel had almost come completely off the axle.  If he hadn't stopped, he most certainly would have lost the wheel in just a few more miles. Sometimes unpleasant things happen, but they lead to something good.  In this case, my daughter getting sick, led to my friend pulling over, and narrowly avoiding what would have been a bad accident on a mountain road. 
     
    In Rom. 11:11-24 we find that Israel's rejection of the Gospel led to its spread to other nations, resulting in salvation for many people.  God continued to leave the door open for repentance and the acceptance of the gift of forgiveness He offers to all.  But, it all started with Israel. Three things stand out in this section of Romans: 1) God can bring blessings out of bad things; 2) Watch out for pride & presumption about our place with God; 3) God promises to receive those who are repentant.
     
    What we find is that - faith is the one way to have a right relationship with God.

    God’s Grace is Always Amazing
    Series: Romans
    There are kind people in the world.  We experience their graciousness at times when we truly don't deserve it.  Maybe you made it up to the counter with your purchase and suddenly realized you were 50 cents short, but the cashier let you make the purchase anyway.  It's not that you deserved it or earned it.  That person was just showing you a little grace.
     
    God's grace is even more amazing than that!  God faithfully offers forgiveness and salvation for our sins throughout the course of our lives.  He waits patiently for us to accept His gracious offer, because He wants an eternal relationship with us.  God's forgiveness is not something we can earn, and it is certainly not something we deserve.  It's just God's amazing grace at work.
     
    God’s faithfulness and grace mean He isn’t finished with you yet.
