Wickedness, Rain, Wrath, and Grace
Bible Stories, Brock Graham

Noah's Ark. This remarkable story of a catastrophic, global flood where God's wrath is poured out on the utter depravity of the world. And yet, God's mercy and kindness is all over this story as he preserves some through an ark-shaped vessel of his mercy. As we look at this story, I pray we see both the fullness of God's wrath toward wickedness, and the riches of his grace and mercy. Most of all, may we see how this global flood points us to gospel glories!

It is time to come back to the Lord. There are times we run from God. Sometimes those are blatantly obvious by the outward expressions of our life. Other times everything looks good on the outside, but we are spiritually cold on the inside. In 1 Kings 18 we see a showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal that turns the people's hearts back to the Lord. As we walk through this story together, there are three things we need to see and act if we need to return wholeheartedly to the Lord as well.

Balaam’s Donkey
Bible Stories, Mark Wiley

In Numbers 22-24 we find an entertaining and humorous story about a king, a pagan prophet-for hire, and a donkey. The donkey is significant because God makes the animal speak in a human voice, which is why this story is so memorable. But the story is not really about the donkey. This story is all about our God who is faithful to keep His promises. And His greatest promise, a coming Savior, was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, in whom all the promises of God find their Yes!

Romans 10:14-21 | Romans 10:14-21 helps us learn our next step in rightly responding to the good news. This passage is pivotal in shaping our understanding of what must take place in order for lost sinners to be saved by God. It is also a crucial text for supplying believers with passion and urgency to share the gospel. Through this passage, we see how God graciously breaks down the excuses we tend to make to neglect our next steps of obedience. He does this to lead us into the delight of obedience so that He may be glorified. God, be magnified through our obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ok, here we are. The final words of Paul's letter to the Romans. The letter closes with a worshipful doxology, declaring that God is worthy of all glory forever. As Paul glorifies God, he reminds us of an important reality that we must cling to as we close this book: the gospel is not only the power to save us, it is the power to strengthen us as well. So as we close our series in the book of Romans, we do so with the strong reminder that God, who strengthens us in the gospel, is worthy of all glory forever.

The end of Romans has many features customary of how Paul closes a letter, but there are two unique features. One of these uniquenesses is that he interrupts his greeting section for some final exhortations and encouragements to the church.  Today we look at what was so important to Paul that he interrupts his greetings to make sure he says these final words to the Romans.  In this, he highlights a problem for us to watch out for, a promise for us to believe, and a prayer for us to live by.

You open to Romans 16, and what do you find dominating the first 16 verses?  

Names. 

27 of them to be exact.  

It's easy to come to sections like this of Paul's letters and speed read through them.  But we need to slow down here. What do all these names and descriptions tell us about a congregation and people known and loved by Paul?  How does this section help us understand that all the gospel doctrine and ethics Paul has laid down in this letter are rooted in a deep love for the people on the other side of the letter?  We have much to see here for how gospel doctrine gets lived out in the context of personal relationships within a congregation.

Paul had an ambition to preach the gospel where Christ had not yet been named.  In other words, Paul lived with a passion for the gospel frontiers.  He wanted to go to the places where the gospel had yet to go and announce the good news of Christ there. In this week's passage, we see Paul's eyes fixed on a new gospel frontier of Spain. As we walk through this together we want to pull out four factors for forward movement to gospel frontiers.  Let's let God's word fill us with a greater zeal for the gospel frontiers in our day where the gospel must go forward!

In the church at Rome there were some conscience controversies:

"Should we eat that or not? 

"Should we drink that or not? 

"Should we celebrate that day or not?"

In our congregation today there are unique matters of conscience as well. Last week we looked at Five Gospel Unifiers for us on matters of conscience.  Those Five Gospel Unifiers from last week lay a foundation for us to build on as to how we practically live with one another in these matters. Today we tackle this by looking at Romans 14:13-15:13 and from this passage will make 3 resolutions to love my neighbor in matters of conscience.

It is evident how much Paul wants to drive home the reality that people who have come to believe the gospel will now live lives marked by gospel-empowered love.  In this passage, Paul summarizes that to love is to fulfill the law.  He also helps us see that walking in love and walking in the light go hand-in-hand.  Let's look together at what a gospel-empowered life of love and light looks like.

But Paul, do you have any idea what our governing authorities are doing?  Certainly this doesn't apply to us in the political climate we are in, right?  Well, let's take a look at what this passage says. It is very clear. The Word here has important truth for us to understand in the political climate we live in and this election season we find ourselves in the throes of.  There is no better passage for us to understand what it looks like for us to live as gospel citizens as it relates to how we live subject to our governing authorities.  Buckle up...here we go.

Finally, in concluding this section of his letter to the Romans, Paul writes a doxology in which we are reminded that this entire plan of salvation is designed specifically for God’s glory. Our salvation isn’t the ultimate goal; God’s glory is.

God's ways are not our ways.

Paul says a remnant of Israel has been chosen by grace, the rest have been hardened, but we see in this week's passage how God is using even that hardening for greater salvation for Jew and Gentile alike.

Romans 10 ends a bit heavy with these words Paul quotes describing Israel's heart, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people." This leads him to begin chapter 11 with a really important question: Has God rejected his people? The answer to that is an emphatic no. God is redeeming a remnant of grace from within Israel while he is hardening the rest. But even God's hardening has redemptive purposes of which we will uncover as we make our way through Romans 11. This Sunday we sit in the glorious realities of grace and, Lord willing, will leave with deeper gratitude for the grace of God.

The anthem over all of Romans is that the gospel is the power of God to save all who believe, both Jew and Gentile. As we come to Romans 9, we see Paul's burden for the Jewish people who are still lost and have not believed the gospel. He raises an important question: Has God's word somehow failed? Is God's promise to save not powerful enough to save so many Jews still lost? Paul's answer to this is massive as it teaches us in some of the clearest language in all the Bible of the power and beauty of God's providence to save those he is calling to himself.

The anthem over all of Romans is that the gospel is the power of God to save all who believe, both Jew and Gentile. As we come to Romans 9, we see Paul's burden for the Jewish people who are still lost and have not believed the gospel. He raises an important question: Has God's word somehow failed? Is God's promise to save not powerful enough to save so many Jews still lost? Paul's answer to this is massive as it teaches us in some of the clearest language in all the Bible of the power and beauty of God's providence to save those he is calling to himself.

There is no denying that this world is filled with heartaches that give us a heavenly homesickness. Last week we saw that in the groaning of our heartaches, the Lord lifts our eyes to the splendor of future glory. This week we see that not only does the Lord lift our eyes to future glory in our present groanings, but he is also so kind and good to give us very tangible help in our present sufferings. What are these helps and assurances that the Lord gives his people in the present groaning of life? Let's look at these together in Romans 8:26-30.

A Love That Reconciles

< BACK TO ALL

Romans 5:6-11 leads us to rejoice for a number of reasons! God’s unconditional love has met us in the worst of our sin! God has initiated rescue for us when we were weak and could initiate ourselves. In rescuing us God saves us from the wrath to be poured out. He also saves us into eternal life with Himself where there are pleasures forevermore. All of this is made possible because of the blood Jesus spilled for us out of His love! Allow this passage to lead your heart into a place of rejoicing!

God's Glory & Gospel Strong

Ok, here we are. The final words of Paul's letter to the Romans. The letter closes with a worshipful doxology, declaring that God is worthy of all glory forever. As Paul glorifies God, he reminds us of an important reality that we must cling to as we close this book: the gospel is not only the power to save us, it is the power to strengthen us as well. So as we close our series in the book of Romans, we do so with the strong reminder that God, who strengthens us in the gospel, is worthy of all glory forever.

The end of Romans has many features customary of how Paul closes a letter, but there are two unique features. One of these uniquenesses is that he interrupts his greeting section for some final exhortations and encouragements to the church.  Today we look at what was so important to Paul that he interrupts his greetings to make sure he says these final words to the Romans.  In this, he highlights a problem for us to watch out for, a promise for us to believe, and a prayer for us to live by.

You open to Romans 16, and what do you find dominating the first 16 verses?  

Names. 

27 of them to be exact.  

It's easy to come to sections like this of Paul's letters and speed read through them.  But we need to slow down here. What do all these names and descriptions tell us about a congregation and people known and loved by Paul?  How does this section help us understand that all the gospel doctrine and ethics Paul has laid down in this letter are rooted in a deep love for the people on the other side of the letter?  We have much to see here for how gospel doctrine gets lived out in the context of personal relationships within a congregation.

Paul had an ambition to preach the gospel where Christ had not yet been named.  In other words, Paul lived with a passion for the gospel frontiers.  He wanted to go to the places where the gospel had yet to go and announce the good news of Christ there. In this week's passage, we see Paul's eyes fixed on a new gospel frontier of Spain. As we walk through this together we want to pull out four factors for forward movement to gospel frontiers.  Let's let God's word fill us with a greater zeal for the gospel frontiers in our day where the gospel must go forward!

In the church at Rome there were some conscience controversies:

"Should we eat that or not? 

"Should we drink that or not? 

"Should we celebrate that day or not?"

In our congregation today there are unique matters of conscience as well. Last week we looked at Five Gospel Unifiers for us on matters of conscience.  Those Five Gospel Unifiers from last week lay a foundation for us to build on as to how we practically live with one another in these matters. Today we tackle this by looking at Romans 14:13-15:13 and from this passage will make 3 resolutions to love my neighbor in matters of conscience.

It is evident how much Paul wants to drive home the reality that people who have come to believe the gospel will now live lives marked by gospel-empowered love.  In this passage, Paul summarizes that to love is to fulfill the law.  He also helps us see that walking in love and walking in the light go hand-in-hand.  Let's look together at what a gospel-empowered life of love and light looks like.

Really? But Paul, do you have any idea what our governing authorities are doing?  Certainly this doesn't apply to us in the political climate we are in, right?  Well, let's take a look at what this passage says. It is very clear. The Word here has important truth for us to understand in the political climate we live in and this election season we find ourselves in the throes of.  There is no better passage for us to understand what it looks like for us to live as gospel citizens as it relates to how we live subject to our governing authorities.  Buckle up...here we go.

In Romans 11:25-36, Paul reveals the fuller picture of God’s plan of salvation by explaining the “mystery” that in the end, “all Israel will be saved.” He goes on to focus on the centrality of God’s mercy in the salvation of all the elect, both Jew and Gentile. Finally, in concluding this section of his letter to the Romans, Paul writes a doxology in which we are reminded that this entire plan of salvation is designed specifically for God’s glory. Our salvation isn’t the ultimate goal; God’s glory is.

God's ways are not our ways. We see this throughout this section of Romans.  God is doing a great work for maximum redemption of both Jew and Gentile, and he is carrying that out in a way he knows is best. Paul says a remnant of Israel has been chosen by grace, the rest have been hardened, but we see in this week's passage how God is using even that hardening for greater salvation for Jew and Gentile alike.

Romans 10 ends a bit heavy with these words Paul quotes describing Israel's heart, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people." This leads him to begin chapter 11 with a really important question: Has God rejected his people? The answer to that is an emphatic no. God is redeeming a remnant of grace from within Israel while he is hardening the rest. But even God's hardening has redemptive purposes of which we will uncover as we make our way through Romans 11. This Sunday we sit in the glorious realities of grace and, Lord willing, will leave with deeper gratitude for the grace of God.

Romans 10:14-21 | Romans 10:14-21 helps us learn our next step in rightly responding to the good news. This passage is pivotal in shaping our understanding of what must take place in order for lost sinners to be saved by God. It is also a crucial text for supplying believers with passion and urgency to share the gospel. Through this passage, we see how God graciously breaks down the excuses we tend to make to neglect our next steps of obedience. He does this to lead us into the delight of obedience so that He may be glorified. God, be magnified through our obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 6:1–13 | God is holy. Those three words have weight. In the words of AW Tozer, "God’s holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural [person] is blind to it. They may fear God’s power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness they cannot even imagine. Only the Spirit of the Holy One can impart to the human spirit the knowledge of the holy.” Throw the book of Isaiah, let's approach the unapproachable, attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible and attain the unattainable.

We worship as we look forward, holding fast to God’s promises and His character, knowing that He’s working all things for His glory and our good.The sovereignty of God also compels us to reflect in awe and worship at how God, through His wisdom and kindness, made good on His promises and managed to knit everything together for His glory and our good.

Our look at the story of the woman at the well will bring our hearts to deeper worship of Jesus, which will overflow in a life of passionately witnessing to others about Him.

John 3:1-21 | You must be born again to see the Kingdom of God. That's it. There is no more important truth in your life than this.  You must be born again. So how do we know if we are born again? And if we aren't, how is one born again? This is the most important truth to have settled in your soul.

John 2:1-11 | John tells us his purpose for writing his gospel: that we would see Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, we would have life in His name. We look this week at the first of these signs Jesus performed at a wedding in Cana. The sign itself is amazing enough, but then when we see why Jesus performed this first, it will lead our hearts to a deeper place of faith and worship.

Luke 15:1-32 | What is the heart of God toward those who wander? Have you ever been so focused on the task in front of you that everything else fades so far into the background and you miss something important? In Luke 15, Jesus responds to the grumbling of the Pharisees: “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” Jesus tells three parables that reveal what they missed, leading us to ask: “What is the heart of God toward those who wander?” And more importantly, “Do you have it?”

Luke 18:9-14 | This week, we dive into a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee approached God with a "holier than thou" attitude, saying, "God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector." The tax collector, though, begged for God's mercy to save him from his sin. Through Jesus's words here, we learn that self-righteousness and godly righteousness are very different.

Luke 10:25-37 | What if a 60-second story Jesus told has the power to change how you love people for the rest of your life? In one of Jesus's most famous parables, The Good Samaritan, he replies to a lawyer's question, "Who is my neighbor?" with one of the most powerful truths of what a life of love for people looks like. Hear what a life of loving our neighbor as ourselves truly looks like lived out.

Matthew 20:1-16 | What if God doesn't always act fair as we define fairness? And what if that is really good news for us people desperately in need of His generous grace? Let's rest together in a parable that unpacks for us truly the generous "unfairness" of the grace of God.

Matthew 13:1-23 | Why is it that a group of people can all hear the same things from the Word of God and have vastly different reactions to it? Why is it that the Gospel for some is the greatest news they have ever heard and for others, the offense of it makes them deeply angry? This week, we look at the Parable of the Sower and gain a deeper understanding of how the Word of God is heard by hearts in different places.

Genesis 14:1-14 | How do we stay grounded in a world unhinged from the truth? How do we find peace when life seems unsteady? What hope awaits the faithful believer? Is there a better way to live as Christians than what has become “typical” in American Christian circles?

These are questions believers need to know in a postmodern culture that screams truth is relative. It appears that at every turn the world tells us to look inward when what we desperately need, more than ever, is someone outside of ourselves. We need a Savior.

Let’s delve into the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel according to John and seek greater clarity on these questions!
