From Tragedy to Triumph

Jim Leffel

Luke 1:1-4

This teaching gives an overview of the first eight chapters of Romans, which encapsulates the primary message of the entire Bible--that God has provided a Messiah to bring peace between God and man, turning tragedy into triumph. Paul gives this perspective to help Christians stand strong and established in the strength, love, and direction that God provides through Jesus. Paul says Christians can have confidence in this message because of the testimony of prophesy, the resurrection, and the historical record of Jesus' crucifixion.

The Sovereign God

James Rochford

Psalms 2:1-12

The Psalmist, David, writes of the sovereignty of God over the nations and all affairs of men, all the while creating people as free moral agents. God's sovereignty means that He knows everything that will happen and either allows or causes it. This does not imply determinism or fatalism, but rather that God's sovereignty is so great that He causes His plans to prosper in spite of human free will and nothing can thwart them. This includes His plan to send his son Jesus to reconcile the world to Himself, which is predicted in this psalm.

The Righteous Sufferer

Dennis McCallum

Psalms 22:1-31

This Psalm written by David was written hundreds of years before the death of Christ. How then does it perfectly explain the manner in which Jesus was killed? This teaching covers that topic and much more importantly, the purpose of Jesus's death.\r\n

Predicting the Method of Jesus' Death by Crucifixion

James Rochford

Psalms 22:1-31

In Psalm 22, David predicts with remarkable detail the suffering and death of Jesus 1000 years before he was crucified. We also see predicted the global impact of his death and that it would cause people from all the ends of the earth to turn to the Lord.\r\n

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."

The Resurrection

Jim Leffel

The Power of the Good News

Scott Risley

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.

Really Great News!

James Rochford

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. 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." We can be confident that the Gospel is true and Jesus really is the Son of God by examining the fulfilled prophecies of the Old Testament that point to Christ.

The Bible and Prophecy

Jim Leffel

Romans 1:1-17

At first glance, Jesus' claims about himself are audacious, claiming to be able to forgive sins, raise from the dead, and be the only true path to God. But his claims are backed up by the unique, specific prophecies that predated his arrival on earth that he fulfilled. Through these prophecies and their fulfillment in Jesus, we see God is not silent and is, in fact, pursuing us to have a relationship.
