• Romans 7:1-12 “Godliness by Grace”

    How does Christ intend Christians grow in godliness? This is an important question as many false paths just lead to frustration and despair. In Romans 7 we see that godliness flows out of our union with Christ. Peter Explains.

  • Romans 6:15-23 “The Freedom of Slavery”

    It is common to assume that what we need to flourish is total freedom to do whatever we want. The reality is humans will always serve someone or something, and it is far better for us to serve God rather than sin. Peter looked at Romans 6:15-23 this morning.

  • Romans 6:1-14 “Dead to Sin, Alive to God”

    While we rightly emphasize sin and our inability to save ourselves as Christians, sometimes we make the mistake of believing that sin is more powerful than God. We can live like we are alive to sin and dead to God. But in Romans 6, Paul makes it clear that the opposite is true for those […]

  • Romans 5:12-21 “Super Abounding Grace”

    Very often Christians can be troubled by uncertainty. We have sinned and failed so many times; we start to feel less sure that we are forgiven. In Romans 5 however, Paul makes it abundantly clear that the grace of God is more than enough for us. Peter explains.

  • Romans 4:13-27 “How saving faith Works”

    In Romans 4 we get a picture of what faith really looks like. Abraham is a model of faith because his faith rests on the promises of God. Peter explains.

  • Romans 3:1-20 “No one Righteous by Good Works”

    As humans we are so prone to try to justify ourselves, to earn our place. But the bible teaches us that actually, no-one can be made acceptable in God’s sight by doing good things. It is made especially clear in Romans 3, as John explains.

  • Romans 1:18-23 “The Dark Before the Light”

    While it is not popular or always received enthusiastically today, Paul’s explanation of the gospel starts with bad news. Like a doctor giving a diagnosis, Paul explains the need we all have for Christ. Peter Explains.

  • Romans 1:16-17 “Not Ashamed of the Gospel”

    There are aspects of the gospel that are looked down upon today, just as in first century. In Romans 1:16-17 Paul gives a clear summary of why he is not ashamed of the gospel, and the reasons are still true for us today. John explains.

  • Romans 1:8-15 – “Faith in Community”

    Individualism is the default mode of thinking in the west today. We have a tendency to see ourselves more as individuals than as members of a group. While the gospel is personal, it is not individualistic. We see in Romans 1 that the Gospel works in community. John explains.

  • Romans 8: Our Christian Character – Christ in you

    Having looked at our status in Christ last week, something that every Christian has equally, this week David Bayne explains our Character in Christ. When we belong to Jesus we gradually grow in character, as we become more and more conformed to the image of Christ. This varies from person to person and time to […]
