With Christ comes the right to become the children of God. The eternal Son of God took on human flesh and laid his body down on the cross for our sins. When we who are flesh believe and receive Christ, we are taken into the...
The glory of God on earth today is most clearly seen in a fruit-bearing people who abide in Christ. When Christ came, he did everything necessary for his people to bear fruit. He was crucified for our sins to provide forgiveness. He gave us his...
Jesus promised that when we bring our thirst for God to him, we receive the gift of the Spirit. With Christ comes the Spirit, who is like a river of living water that first fills us with God, and then flows from us to others....

The world is full of evidences of the generosity of God. But no gift demonstrates God’s giving and gracious heart more than his own Son, Jesus Christ. If God gave his Son for us, we can be assured that he will give us all things...
God is praised through mission. On this first day in our new Worship Hall, we praise God for the glory of his grace in Christ Jesus. We commit ourselves anew to the mission of making Christ known to the nations. May Christ be worshiped and...
At the close of Romans 8, we hear five questions asked which are answered in the cross of Christ. What about our enemies, needs, accusations and the condemnation we face? Are we really loved by God? The death of Christ on our behalf provides the...
"God is for us," we have heard in a sermon or a song. But, wouldn’t it be good to know how? This passage takes us from the eternal mind of God, into our history, and onto the final state of glory to come, to show...
The Holy Spirit prays for us. He knows our weakness in prayer, but he will not let it hinder the purpose of God in our lives. So, he intercedes for us according to the will of God. Here is our confidence that the will of...
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! He has given us the Holy Spirit to bear witness with our spirits that we are the children of God, so we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Holy Spirit also produces the early signs of the revelation...
Romans 8 begins with the great declaration that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. It ends with another declaration that nothing will separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. And in the middle, this chapter...
We have already heard the devastating news that through sin death spread to all people because all have sinned. We know from experience the power of sin in our lives. Now we cry with the Apostle Paul, “Who will deliver us from this body of...
Christ has made the way to God. He has brought us with him into God’s presence by his death on our behalf. Now Christ stands with us before God and over us as the people of God. We have come to Christ by faith as...
Rob Tims preaches on Romans 7:7-24. When the law of God outside our hearts and the sin inside our hearts collide, an epic battle rages that we simply cannot win. God’s law exposes our sin, and sin exploits the law and stirs us up to...
The book of Romans has laid before us God’s gracious plan of salvation. Now, in the sixth chapter, we read the first direct commands. We are called to engage our minds and use our bodies to live in obedience to God. In our minds we...
As soon as Paul says that God’s grace abounds over sin, the question about sin and the Christian arises. Shall we, can we, continue in sin in light of God’s saving grace? This passage addresses sin by showing us how God’s grace results in the...
By the grace of God a new reality defines our lives which we call union with Christ. Union with Christ is rooted in his death and resurrection, in which God considers us to be included. Union with Christ determines the new way we relate to...
How should we view humanity? How did sin come into the world? Why did death spread to all people? And, most importantly, what is our hope of passing from death to life? In this compact section of Romans, so many questions related to the human...
Since God has justified us and reconciled us to himself through the death of Christ, how much more will he save us by the life of Christ for the glory to come! As we remember salvation that awaits us, we gain a vision of the...
We have all been disappointed. Why should it be any different when it comes to believing the gospel? If we put our faith in Christ and begin to hope in him, aren’t we at risk of being let down? There are two realities of the...
Because we have been justified by faith, and now stand at peace with God in his grace, we experience suffering in a new way. We are comforted by God’s purpose in suffering for our growth, his presence in suffering for our comfort, and his promise...
Our justification by faith changes all things, therefore giving us lasting hope at all times. Speaker: Justin Tucker Grace Community church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday...
We have already established that, like Abraham, we are put in right relationship with God by faith. Now we ask, faith in what? This passage shows us that faith is not a general sense of wellbeing. Faith is not an optimistic view of the future...
It may appear that Abraham is a mere example of someone who once trusted God and somehow illustrates how we are to trust God. But a closer look reveals that Abraham is more than an example. Through Abraham, God moves his plan of salvation toward...
The heart of the gospel is that God declares us right with himself, based on the righteous work of Christ on the cross, as a gift of grace to be received by faith. The gospel transforms every relationship we have; with God, with ourselves, and...
The gospel is good news, but it is only received by those who see their need. We all need the gospel because we all are sinners. If we deny our sinfulness, or downplay just how sinful we are, we will not be open to the...
