The Good News About Salvation

Conrad Hilario
Romans 1:1-17

The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough explanation of the gospel in scripture. It has influenced many game-changers of the faith, including Martin Luther and John Wesley. This letter makes clear that salvation is by faith alone and, as Paul writes in chapter one, demonstrates that the gospel "is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes."

Our Despair in Adam, Our Hope in Christ

Chris Hearty
Romans 5:12-21

Adam was an imperfect earlier type of the perfect type to come later, Jesus Christ. In chapter five of Romans, Paul gives several ways Jesus perfected Adam's errors. Through Adam, many died, but through the grace of Jesus, eternal life is available to all people. Adam brought condemnation , but Christ brought forgiveness. Adam brought a reign of death, but, much more did Christ bring a reign of life. Adam's single act brought death, but Christ's single act brought life, and abundantly.

Friends of God

Chris Hearty
Romans 5:0

Faith is not a blind leap but a trusting in God and His promises. We can boldly enter the throne room of grace if we have been declared righteous by faith in Jesus Christ. While we were still sinners, God made a way for us to be friends with God through faith in Jesus Christ. Now that we are friends with God, we can rejoice and have peace in all circumstances.

Our Problem, God's Solution

Scott Risley
Romans 3:9-30

Paul explains humanity's problem with God--that all have fallen short of God's perfect standard and deserve judgment. Now he transitions to explaining God's solution to our problem: forgiveness through faith in Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. When we place our trust in Christ we are freely forgiven and can enjoy humble unity with one another.

The Unthinkable Solution to the Human Condition

James Rochford
Romans 3:1-31

Life Under the New Covenant

Conrad Hilario
2 Corinthians 3:1-18

Paul explains to the Corinthians that Christians now live under the "new covenant" ushered in by Jesus, and not the "old covenant" given to Moses. This means that we can be free of legalism and, instead, draw close to God based on grace, experiencing transformation, which will reflect God's glory to the watching world.

Servants of a New Covenant

Dennis McCallum
2 Corinthians 3:4-18

Through God's free gift of grace, His followers can approach Him with confidence. This is a different covenant than what was in the Old Testament. Despite having this confidence, people often still approach God in a formalistic manner and forget that they do not have to perform for God. This teaching covers the Old Covenant versus the New and how we can approach God with confidence.
