Christian Love and Liberty Romans 14:1-23 In question are things to which there are not clear Biblical answers. These are problems which Scripture gives little to no guidance, or to which the rituals or ceremonies no longer have meaning. In the church of Rome there were people from diverse backgrounds, similar to our nation of …

Every Believer Gifted Romans 12:3-8 God has placed each believer I the church to serve Him and other believers. He has not done so, and left us without desires and gifts which enable us to serve. These gifts are not given for any to boast superiority over another, as has so often been the case …

The Committed Living Sacrifice Romans 12:1-2 In chapters 1-3 Paul writes his opening greeting, and from the greeting to verse 20 of chapter three he writes of the sinfulness of mankind, and our condemnation.

Take Away Their Sins Romans 11:25-36 In the last study vv. 15-24 we saw a warning from Paul to what could be called the apostate church. The apostate church would be those who deny the truths of the Word of God; who believe they are Israel, claiming for themselves things which are not theirs; who …

Broken Branches - Grafted In Romans 11:15-24 Paul begins using the allegory of an olive tree. The breaking off of some of the branches represents reprobate national Israel. Note verse 20; they were broken off, because of their unbelief and the Church –Gentile believers–were grafted in. Unnaturally grafted in– “A wild olive tree” (v. 17) …

Provoked To Jealousy Romans 11:7-14 Many Israeli people who live in the land, most of them calling themselves Jewish, have no convictions concerning God, or promises of the land.

Set Aside; But Not Forgotten Romans 11:1-6 Paul has now pointed out clearly Israel’s rejection of Jesus as Messiah. Israel is a very religious people, but lost as a nation. Is this not enough evidence to prove to us that the rejection of Jesus is also rejecting God and His righteousness. It should be enough. …

This is a late post for the Wednesday night Bible Study of June 20, 2007. For some reason it completely slipped my mind, and I forgot to post it. I pray you are blessed by these studies.

Salvation, Preaching, and Unbelief Romans 10:9-21 The leaders of Israel had been so blinded by their religion that they missed the very one for whom their Scriptures had foretold. It seems they had been searching, searching, looking in the stars, over the seas, over lands, and in their own righteousness, but to no avail. Paul …

No People Left Out Romans 9:25-33 There may have been accusations against Paul’s teaching, claiming that He was preaching an unjust and unrighteous God. That is not what Paul preached, nor is it the teaching of Scripture. Because God is holy, righteous, and just He has every right to be “Merciful to whom He will …

God's Will Of Mercy Romans 9:14-24 Is God unrighteous because He chooses some and not others? NO! NO! NO! NEVER! He is God. He is the Creator of all things. He is not limited in any way. If He cannot choose whom He will, then, He is not sovereign and is not God. God told …

The Word Of Promise Romans 9:6-13 Remembering that we are looking at a parenthetical statement, which gives a clearer understanding of what Paul is writing about in chapter 8 and assuring the Roman Christians that the promises of God are good, and that He will not break or void any of them; we come to …

A Great Heaviness Romans 9:1-5 In chapters 9 – 11 Paul adds a parenthetical statement concerning the Nation of Israel – the chosen Nation of God.

Since God Is For Us Romans 8:31-39 When you get to thinking about the goodness, grace and mercy of God, and you see things taught us in Scripture as, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (5:8); and, “For if when we were …

GLORY: Our Destination Romans 8:26-30 So many times as we have our struggles with life and living; facing the sicknesses, diseases we wonder; is it worth all this to believe? Is it worth the suffering to continue to trust the Lord? Is it worth the doing without, just to remain honest and/or moral? There are …
