In our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, Paul has been giving us four evidences to affirm that we are sons of God, adopted by Him. Last time, we heard about the first affirmation, that God’s kids will be led by the Holy Spirit, no question about it. Today we’ll hear about the inner affirmation that born-again believers have that Paul calls the “spirit of adoption,” the sense that we are God’s own beloved children. Let’s join Pastor Brian now as he picks up our study at Romans chapter 8, verse 15, and helps us answer the question: “Who Are the Sons of God?”

Last time, in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we started looking at a passage in chapter 8 where the Apostle Paul compares two radically different lifestyles, one governed by the flesh and worldly desires and the other led by the Spirit of God.

Today we’ll also hear about the completely different outcome that is a result of keeping our minds set on the things of God.

In our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we now come to chapter 8, one of the most encouraging chapters in the Bible for Christians.

Could any truth be more liberating that that? Let’s join Pastor Brian now as he picks up our study at Romans chapter 8, verse 1, and tells us why there is "Now No Condemnation."

In our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we have been looking at chapter 7 where the Apostle Paul examines the relationship between the Law of God and Christians.

And, why don’t I do the things I know I should and truly want to do?” Let’s join Pastor Brian now as he picks up our study at Romans chapter 7, verse 15, and continues to look at the relationship between “You and God’s Law.”

In our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we have been looking at the beginning of chapter 7 where the Apostle Paul examines the relationship between the Law of God and believers in Jesus Christ.

Last time, in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we started looking at chapter 6 where the Apostle Paul tackles the issue of how a Christian can get free from the sin that can so easily trip us up. In the passage we’re studying today, Paul uses three key words that can help us; last time we looked at the first keyword, and that was “Know,” KNOW that as a born-again Christian, your old self has died, and that you are truly a new creation.

In our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we now come to chapter 6 where the Apostle Paul addresses the question of sin versus grace that inevitably arises when we fully comprehend the amazing truth that in Jesus, God’s grace is always greater than our sin.

Last time, in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we heard the Apostle Paul tell Christians to do something that is not at all natural for humans to do … to “glory in our tribulations.” We heard that we should do that because of the qualities that the Lord creates in us through our suffering and trials, including the perseverance that Pastor Brian described in our last broadcast. Let’s join Pastor Brian now as he picks up our study at Romans chapter 5, verse 3, and tells us more about why Christians should have “Joy in Trials.”

Today, in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we’ll hear the Apostle Paul tell Christians to do something that is not at all natural for us to do … to “glory in our tribulations.” Endure them?
