This Makes All the Difference
08/29/10
Speaker: Chris Mendez
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 15:1–15:33
Summary: Sometimes in life one little thing can make all the difference. The apostle Paul was a man that God used to change the world. In Romans chapter 15, we get a glimpse at Paul's heart for people, Paul's vision for ministry and Paul's plans for ministry. Come learn how those attitudes applied to our lives can make all the difference in us experiencing purpose, meaning and significance.
The Debts You Owe
08/15/10
Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 13:1–13:14
Summary: This message from Romans, chapter thirteen, examines three debts that each of us owes. The first debt is what we owe to government; that is our public debt. Then there is the debt we owe to others – our private debt. Finally, there is the debt we owe to God because of our gracious salvation; this is our eternal debt. This debt calls forth a response of righteous living in light of the consummation of history and our salvation.
Shoe Leather

Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 12:3–12:21
Summary: We are often better at what we believe than how we live, aren’t we? In Romans, chapter twelve, Paul shifts focus from doctrine to application, from theological to practical. In the first two verses, he states two foundation imperatives if we are to live rightly, if our lives are to accurately reflect and represent what we believe. They are consecration – yielding our bodies to God as a living sacrifice, and character – being transformed by the renewing of our minds. Now in the remainder of the chapter, Paul gets down to shoe leather, down to where we live, how we walk. He talks about a proper evaluation of ourselves, and then lists specific actions that should characterize how we relate to others if we are, indeed, experiencing God’s transforming work in our lives. Evaluate your relationship with others by means of this checklist.
Living on the Altar
08/01/10
Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 12:1–12:2
Summary: Romans, chapter twelve, begins another major division in this profound New Testament letter. This section is all about application. Paul transitions from doctrine to practice, from what we believe to how we live. There are two main topics in the first two verses of this chapter: consecration and character. These two are foundational to everything else Paul will cover in the remaining chapters in Romans.
Seeing God Through the Prism of His Work
07/25/10
Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 11:1–11:36
Summary: In Romans, chapter eleven, Paul concludes his teaching on God’s relationship to the Jew. Because of Israel’s unbelief, has God rejected them as his chosen people? Paul’s answer is an emphatic “No!” But Israel’s rejection was good news for the Gentile. The conclusion, by way of application, we draw from Paul’s teaching in Romans 11 is that God is sovereign; He is merciful; He is faithful.
The Gospel and Human Responsibility
07/18/10
Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 10:1–10:21
Summary: How do we reconcile these two great truths related to salvation: God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility? In Romans, chapter nine, the Apostle Paul wrote about God’s divine election according to his purpose as it relates to Israel. Now, in chapter ten, Paul shifts the focus to the human responsibility in believing the Gospel and trusting in Christ.
The Character of God on Trial
07/11/10
Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 9:1–9:33
Summary: In Romans 9, Paul begins to address questions about the Jews’ position in grace. How do they fit within God’s plan as Paul has outlined in the prior eight chapters? Isn’t the fact that they were God’s “chosen people” sufficient for salvation? Paul’s answer has direct bearing on the basis of our own salvation today.
True Freedom

Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series
Category: New Testament Letters
Passage: Romans 8:31–8:39
Summary: Are you free to be everything you were meant to be? Only when you are secure in Christ’s love and God’s purpose for your life will you be free to be an instrument of grace to others. The end of Romans, chapter eight, concludes Paul’s teaching on the security of the believer’s salvation.

Speaker: Mark Petersburg
Series: Romans Series

Passage: Romans 8:19–8:30
Summary: Do you want to know what God’s ultimate plan is for your life? Paul explains this wonderful plan in Romans 8:18-30. He provides perspective for when you are suffering in hard times, when you don’t know what to pray, and when you can’t figure life out.
