In these days of restrictions and isolation due to the Corona Virus, many of us are having to work from home. For some, this is not a new experience. For others, it is completely foreign. Working from home can bring great blessings, and provide new and creative opportunities to explore. It can save us travel time which we can now spend doing other activities with family or on our own. However, working from home can also bring some unwelcome battles into our home environment. For some, they will be alone and unseen. For others, there will be more than one […]

As our society and culture move further away from our Christian heritage and values we will have occasion, perhaps many, to ask questions such as, “How do we as Christians live faithfully in this world?” or “How do we live in the world, but not of the world?” or “What should I do when the law tells me to do this, but God tells me to do that?” In our passage this week, from Romans 13:1-7, Paul addresses our relationship as believers with the governing authorities. Whilst we are “not to be conformed to this world,” the gospel of grace […]

How easy it is for us to forget the root from which we have come as believers in Israel’s Messiah. How little thought we give to Israel and the promise of her destiny and calling in the history of God’s purpose. How good it is to know that God has not utterly rejected his people but has yet more kindness to show those who have spurned His unfailing love. Sadly, the church historically has often treated the Jews as if they have been totally rejected by God and that we are somehow superior, forgetting that it is only by faith […]

Last Sunday, John outlined for us how Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes (10.4). This week Wayne will preach from Romans 10:5-21. He writes, “This section explains the last part of verse 4: righteousness for everyone who believes. The wonderful gospel that we have is that we do not need to do anything to achieve our own righteousness: Jesus has done all that is necessary to make us righteous – coming down from heaven to live amongst us in the likeness of sinful flesh but without sin, bearing our sin in his body […]

As we embark upon Chapters 9-11 of Romans we will be hearing of God’s righteousness as it has been revealed in the history of Israel, and his future plans for his chosen people. This week, in Romans 9:1-29, Paul expresses his own sorrow and anguish for his unbelieving Jewish kinsfolk. Despite the many privileges they have enjoyed as God’s chosen, covenant people, they have failed to believe the gospel of Christ. Paul vehemently defends the word of God. It is not God who has failed, nor has he been unfaithful to his promises. In fact, Paul argues, Israel’s unbelief follows […]

We come to the end of Romans 8 this week (8:31-39) where Paul assures us, by sharing his own conviction, that nothing at all can separate us from the love of God in Christ. Do we know this love of God? Are we, like Paul, absolutely sure that nothing can separate us from it? We can be… through him who loved us. This passage not only sums up much of what we have been hearing over the past weeks, it also prepares us for what is to come in the following chapters. If we do not know the love of […]

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” How good it is to hear these words and to know they speak of us! There is NOT ONE SIN God holds against us, who are in Christ Jesus. This is not because God has turned a blind eye to our sin, or relaxed the demands of his law. No! The righteous requirement of God’s law has been fully met in Christ. And, through our union with him by the Spirit, the requirement of the law has been fulfilled in us also. May the Spirit who dwells […]
