The Epistle to the Galatians that we begin today is not just a for a single Church. Asia Minor, which we refer to as Turkey today, was at the time of the letter called Anatolia. The region known as Galatia covered a large area of central Anatolia. There in that part of the country we find cities that we have read of in Acts of the Apostles: Antioch…

4d ago46:02

46:02

Romans 16 emphasizes the power of personal connections and unity in the body of Christ. It is a testament to the many unsung heroes who worked with Paul in the spreading of the gospel. It also serves as a warning to maintain unity and stay alert to divisive influences. The final doxology serves as a reminder that it is God who strengthens us, as we…

This final chapter of Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is in three parts. The first part takes us through verse 16, as Paul provides an introduction for Phebe, the courier of the Roman Epistle, and then offers greetings to friends, and family alike who are in the Church at Rome. The Roman letter introduces us to some of Paul’s family, who were also Bel…

Paul’s Epistle to the Romans was written while he was yet in Corinth. He’s ministering to two churches at once, hundreds of miles apart. The grass did not grow under Paul’s feet! We learn in this passage that Paul is planning on taking the Gospel to Spain, and along the way, planning a stop in Rome to see those of the Church there. He kept moving f…

On Thursday of this week past, we witnessed a new Pope being voted into his official position as Bishop of Rome. As head of the Roman Catholic Church, his outreach is world-wide. Of his many titles, he is also referred to as the Vicar of Rome, and the Vicar of Christ. Though it is the Anglican Church where the title Vicar is most often used, it is …

Romans 14:1-23 - "First Amendment?" 42:42

25d ago42:42

42:42

Romans 14 is a profound chapter in the New Testament that addresses the themes of Christian liberty, the importance of love and unity within the body of Christ, and the necessity of living out one's faith with a clear conscience. In this chapter, the Apostle Paul speaks to the Roman Christians about the need to accept one another despite difference…

Bobservations Column - "First Amendment?" 3:09

28d ago3:09

3:09

We are back in Romans today, and in spite of the title “First Amendment,” the message is not about the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights, but about the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus! If we were to “reverse think” the premises for the Bill of Rights, we might well find its basis right here in Romans 12, 13, and 14. Romans 12:1-2 may even supp…

John 20:24 - 21:14 - "Lazarus and Didymus" 42:36

28d ago42:36

42:36

Today's message is a character study on one of the apostles. Didymus, also known as the apostle Thomas was a doubter. He simply could not believe in the risen Christ unless he saw with His own eyes. Jesus showed His hands and side to “doubting Thomas” and called him to stop doubting and to believe. Thomas immediately responded to Jesus, “My Lord an…

It was about ten days ago that Christians around the world acknowledged Good Friday. Quite literally, “The Word of God” was executed and put to death. I use that phrasing because of what John wrote: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14)...

Luke 19:28-40 - "Going Home" - Palm Sunday 1:03:44

1M ago1:03:44

1:03:44

As we enter into this wonderful week of remembering the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, we know that it all began with what is commonly called Palm Sunday, that Sunday in which Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem and did so to the waving of palm branches and a hailing of him as King. And, of course, it ends with the resurrection. This is a great …

We open today with the first of the Messianic Psalms, Psalm 2. In twelve short verses it covers the history of God and His people. It is truly The Psalm of the King: His rejection; His establishment of His Kingdom; and finally, His reigning over the nations. It does not name Him, but it does describe His ability to bring the Will of God to pass. Fr…

Romans 13 is a call to responsible Christian living. It underscores the importance of respect for authority, adherence to the law, and love for others. Above all, it is a call to action, a call to wake from spiritual slumber, to live in the light, and to clothe ourselves with Christ. It is a reminder that we are on the brink of salvation and that e…

With Resurrection Sunday approaching, our hearts turn toward Jesus’ victory over sin and death. God has made a way for us; it’s a narrow path, not a wide road. Paul’s 13th chapter in his Epistle to the Romans reminds us of the righteous lifestyle that God’s children are to seek out and adopt in our daily lives. But before addressing these issues in…

Faith isn't passive—it's the catalyst that activates divine healing in our lives.

Romans 12:1-21 - "Be Ye Transformed" 42:56

2M ago42:56

42:56

Paul's letter to the Romans begins with teaching on doctrine and ends with teaching on how we should live because of what is true. Romans 1—11 focused intently on the doctrine of salvation by God's grace and through our faith in Jesus. Knowing those truths, how then should those saved by God's grace live today? How should we respond to the incredib…

Romans 12 – The Apostle Paul has seen both sides of mankind, and he learned more about God and His desires for mankind than even he thought possible. He did not learn these things at the feet of his teachers in the ways of Judaism. He learned them during his wilderness experience with the Holy Spirit. The author of the Scriptures brings a greater d…

Hearer vs. Doer: Where's Your Faith? 42:46

Pastor C.F. explores the transformational difference between merely hearing God's Word and putting it into action through obedience.

Romans 11:17-36 - "Pruning The Olive Tree" - Part 2 47:38

2M ago47:38

47:38

Because Paul accepted the OT as God’s word, he had every reason to expect the restoration of his people already announced in the prophets. He addresses this matter most clearly in Romans 11. In this chapter he is clear that God has not rejected his people (11:1-2). That a remnant remains, as in times of Israel’s wider apostasy in the OT, indicates …

Last week’s message from Paul’s letter to the Romans continues, with a warning to Gentiles who might be tempted to gloat that some Jews have been removed from their “Chosen” position with God to make room for new Gentile Believers. No one is being “made room for.” It’s not like God’s heavenly Kingdom has a maximum number that can fit! Can you imagi…

Romans 11:1-17 - "Pruning The Olive Tree" - Part 1 56:37

2M ago56:37

56:37

Having considered Israel’s past and God’s sovereign purpose in Romans 9, and then Israel’s present situation and God’s continued patience in chapter 10, one crucial question remains: Is God done with Israel? Has he rejected his people for good? This is what Paul begins to address in chapter 11 as he focuses on Israel’s future and God’s glorious des…

Bobservations Column - Pruning the Olive Tree - Part 1 3:00

3M ago3:00

3:00

The dogma’s of today’s church are sometimes a bit bizarre. Among them today remains the heresy of “Replacement Theology,” where the Church replaces Israel in prophecy. I say bizarre because of the scriptural evidence against it. It’s therefore quite strange. God’s promise is that all Israel is to be saved, and all Israel in this case means all spir…

Dream Bigger 37:01

37:01

"Dream bigger." These two simple words from the Holy Spirit became the foundation for a life-changing message about expanding our capacity to receive God's blessings. When we limit our vision, we limit what God can do through us. Consider the vivid metaphors that illuminate this truth: houseplants can't grow larger when confined to small pots. Fish…

Throughout Romans 9, Paul systematically shows that God’s sovereign election has been in force from the very beginning.

"Turning a Hardened Heart to Gold" :: Carlos Cedeño 46:04

A hard heart is difficult to surrender to God. The Scriptures call us to soften our hearts and make them available to be molded and shaped by God, much like a potter shapes clay.

Lately on the media’s world stage of politics, we are confronted with the idea of sovereign nations. The Ukraine, Israel, China, and even the United States. With it, we have also learned the modern term, “Foreign Influence.” The meaning behind sovereignty comes from the French word, “souveraineté,” as a government or an entity becomes the sole ruli…

As we begin chapter 9 of Romans, Paul is heartbroken that his people, the Jews, have rejected Christ. He insists that God will keep His promises to Israel, but that not everyone born to Israel is truly Israel.
