The Beneficial Results of Justification

Ben Foust

Romans 5:1-11

When we ask God to forgive our sins because of the work Jesus did on the cross, we are justified by faith. If the forgiveness of our sins was all we received at that moment, it would be more than enough! But justification is only the beginning of the many blessings God pours out upon us. He get peace with God, not just an end to hostility, but true reconciliation. We get the hope of future glory and so much more!

The Encounter Between Gabriel and Mary

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 1:26-38

Mary's response to The angel Gabriel who announced God's plan bring the Messiah into the world through her, mirrors how we should respond to God's offer of salvation. God takes the initiative to bring us good news. While our part is to put our faith in God's promise. It is an active decision to receive Jesus into our heart and a passive response in that we do nothing to earn this favor.

The Bad News

Ben Foust

Romans 1:18-25

Paul shares the bad news--that no man is good enough to earn his way to approval and acceptance by God, who is perfect--even one sin disqualifies you from heaven and qualifies you for eternal judgment. This is in keeping with Him being a just God. While this is bad news, understanding and accepting it leads us to God's good news, that He has made a way for us to have these sins covered and paid for, through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

A Living Hope

Mike Sullivan

1 Peter 1:1-9

Because our hope is a living hope based in the risen Jesus, we can live as sojourners in this fallen world. This world is not our true home. Heaven is. Eternity in heaven will give us perspective on our current trials we can't fully comprehend right now. Because of this hope, even our pain can be productive.

Six Ways to Serve Under Adverse Circumstances

Conrad Hilario

1 Timothy 4:1-16

God is calling you to a life filled with true meaning and purpose. It is not a mistake that God has put you where you are. If God calls you to serve in challenging circumstances, focus on the things you do have control over. Don't be surprised when some people abandon the faith. Keep the central message at the center of what you do. Lead by example. Stand on the authority and power of God's written Word. Remember that God has called, equipped, and commissioned you to carry out your task. People should not only observe what we are, but also what we are becoming.

Six Ways to Lead a Tough Church

James Rochford

1 Timothy 4:1-16

Paul gives Timothy six ways to lead a tough church undergoing attack by false teachers who promote doctrines of demons. Timothy is directed: to stay well-fed by the Word, to work hard, to become what he wants to see, to lead with his Bible, to exploit the spiritual gift in him, and to trust that God will use him. God is not a harsh task-master. He will work on one area needing improvement at a time. What is one area you need to grow in?

Breaking the Tide of Falsehood

Dennis McCallum

1 Timothy 4:1-10

In the fourth chapter of 1 Timothy, Paul warns Timothy to be on guard against the spreading of false doctrines taught by female pagan religious leaders. Most Bible translation do a poor job translating "But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women." These female religious leaders were known as "old women" in Timothy's day. These 'old women' taught Ascetism which focused on forbidding things God does not forbid, like marriage, and certain foods. They were known for storytelling where they put the gods in an outrageous light.
