This passage, verses 12 to the end of the chapter, continues developing the theme of how ‘much more’ Christ did for us (see verses 15, and 17). But to get there, we have to wade through the difficult and unpopular doctrine of original sin. Today’s message will look at what the Bible teaches about this, and try to settle the question.…

In this passage, there are two ‘much mores’ and a ‘not only this.’ If God loves us so much that He sent His Son for us, how much more can we celebrate what He does for us?저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

The word ‘Peace’ (v.1) gives way to ‘Celebration’ (vv. 2-3), and celebration is not limited to just the good times. The hard times lead us to our third word: Hope. And Hope does not disappoint.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

It is a terrible mistake to be at war with the King of the Universe; and a wonderful thing that Jesus gives us peace.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

We’re going to look at Peter’s boast, and then at Peter’s failure, and then at Peter’s failure. And then we’ll fast forward to Pentecost, and ask, “What happened to Peter?” And we’ll discuss what the Holy Spirit does for a person.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

Abraham was as good as dead (15:19), Sarah’s womb was dead (15:19), but our faith is in the One who raised Jesus from the dead (15:24). Faith works because our faith is in the One greater than death.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

We can debate about the chicken or the egg, but it is clear that faith came before works. Abraham is the father of the Jewish nation, but he is also the father of the faithful.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

With the example of Abraham, the focus was on faith. With David, it is forgiveness.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

There's nothing wrong with good works, except they look kind of shabby compared to perfection. Faith, on the other hand, declares us righteous.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

There is no hierarchy in salvation, because we’re all saved the same way. Therefore, there is no room for boasting between believers.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

If God is going to judge us for unrighteousness, He must be righteous Himself. Today’s passage says He is just that.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

First, Romans demonstrated how lost in sin we are; now it shows that in Christ, God is satisfied with us. This is truly good news.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

It is not by the deeds we do, but by the works Jesus has done that we can be declared righteous; and this is available to us by faith.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

People like to say that We’re all God’s children; that being human unites us as His children. But it’s more like the opposite. We’re all alienated from God; being sinful unites us as not His children. The good news is that since we share the sentence sin brings, we can also share the salvation Jesus brings.…

This book so far can leave us feeling pretty defeated. The Gentiles are sinful, the Jews are sinful. If the people called God’s people are just as lost as the people who are not called God’s people, then what’s the point? Maybe it’s not us who have failed, but God Himself! That is the voice of frustration, not of truth. God has not failed His peopl…

Most of us have given up on New Year's resolutions, because we’ve been there, done that, and they don’t work. But Jesus makes us new creatures, we can change because we are changed. Therefore, we need to live changed.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

This passage ends with the jarring condemnation, “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Work and pray that this is not true in your case.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

James warns us that as a man sows, so shall he reap. Paul tells us here we don’t only reap, we store up. We should fear the day when we’re faced with what we’ve stored.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

There was a time when we read this passage, and said, “I can’t see how it could really get that bad.” Now we say, “I can’t see how it got that bad.’ Our descent into sin is real and clear, and we really need a Savior.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

The first part of the Gospel presentation is sin. We are sinful and need to be saved. In this passage, Paul demonstrates the mess we are in, and how we got there. God gave us free will, and no matter how bad our choices will be, He lets us make them and face the consequences.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

Ashamed of the Gospel? It is the power of God to salvation. It reveals His righteousness and is attained by faith. How could we be ashamed of what has done so much for us? We say with Paul, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel.”저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship

We know Romans as Paul’s doctrinal masterpiece; the book that makes clear how salvation works. For Paul, it was his introduction to the Roman Church. To the saints in Rome, it was a letter from the famous Christian thinker, Paul, clarifying some difficult concepts. It is also the inspired Word of God. This week we begin our journey through the book…

I complained to God that our new building, as it stands now, is just an empty shell, and useless. The phrase seemed to echo in my mind. This week we will look at three of the seven churches of Revelation: Ephesus, Sardis, and Laodicea, and see Christ’s warnings to churches that were in various stages of becoming empty shells of a church.…

There are times that test your faith. You find yourself thinking you just can’t do it God’s way in this situation. Perhaps the greatest statement of wisdom in Proverbs is to trust God rather than leaning on your own understanding.저자 Trinity Bible Fellowship
