As we start Romans 12, we start to see how we can apply the doctrine that was revealed to us in the first eleven chapters of Romans. We start by seeing that we should be a living sacrifice and here are three different ways we should be doing it: 1. We sacrifice ourselves for Him. […]

In Romans 10, Paul again expresses how his heart breaks for his people that continue to reject Christ. They are a zealous people, passionate about their faith, but they were lacking knowledge of who Christ was and why He came. Our job as Christians is the same as it was back then; we are to […]

We are in Romans 9 this week looking at the message Paul has for the Christians living in Rome. This week we read that there are Jews that would not accept Christ and it broke Paul’s heart. Paul would give up everything for his fellow people to accept Christ, and this is okay to think. […]

This week we take a look at Romans 8 to see the message Paul has for the Christians living in Rome. We start by examining the sinful nature of man and how it goes against the very nature of God. We further look at the process of being adopted into God’s family, ultimately being children […]

This week we are in Romans 7 seeing what Paul has to say to the Christians living in Rome. The beginning of this passage sees Paul using the illustration of marriage under the Law to demonstrate how the Law was once the husband of the Jewish people, but that has come to pass and Jesus […]

We continue our series through Romans this week in Romans 6. Last week we learned that where sin multiplied, grace multiplied more.

We continue our trek through Romans this week as we go through Romans 5; Richard explains through this chapter that as sin multiplied in the world after Adam, the grace offered to us through Christ was multiplied even further. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his […]

This week we are in Romans 4 continuing to look at Paul’s instructions for the Christians living in Rome. Abraham’s righteousness was credited to him by his faith in God’s promise, not by what he could or would do for God. Now it was credited to him was not written for Abraham alone, but also […]

This week we are in Romans 3 looking at the righteousness and glory of God. Nothing we do can make us righteous before God (Romans 3:23); however we have hope. In Romans 3:24, we are told that we are justified by freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Richard is starting a new series, “When in Rome,” to see how Paul’s instructions for the issues Christians in Rome face. This week we are in Romans 1. We all have a past/history, but the good news is that we all have the same hope in Christ.
