In the last week of this series, Paul writes a meaningful prayer to the church at Phillipi and encourages them to abound in love, grow in knowledge, and walk in blamelessness and purity. As we approach 2022, we too can and should be devoted to growing in these areas. Brandon Bachtel | A Prayer for 2022 Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

As we enter 2022, we are praying for our church the same way Paul prayed for the church at Colossae in Colossians 1:9-14.

Jesus told His disciples not to be troubled, but to trust in God, the Prince of Peace. Jesus promised to give peace and leave peace with His apostles in a way that the world could not.

In Matthew's account of Herod, Israel, and the Magi from the East we see several different responses when the news of Jesus' birth begins to reach the masses. In this narrative, you will see a meaningful faith and how it can impact your life and your outlook at Christmas. Brandon Bachtel | Advent Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

For years, people heard of, and longed for the awaiting King and Messiah. When He arrived, He brought hope to Jews and Gentiles alike. Matter of fact, in this message we see Jesus encounter the most unlikely of persons and the hope He brings is an example of His pursuit of all nations, tribes, and tongues.

In this message Paul teaches that the Law is holy, good, and that it reveals our sin problem. We also see the dilemma of our flesh (sin nature) and our inability to escape the flesh without Jesus Christ. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

We have seen how the law reveals our sin, arouses our sin, and is used by our sin, but do we recognize the seriousness of our sin? If we are not spending time in God’s Word, we will never begin to understand our need for grace. Lord, help us to accept your grace and not abuse it. Help us to trust in you and not return to the sin that you have saved us from. Archie Engledow | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

Justified by faith, dead to sin, and alive to God. The believer has also died to the law and has been released from the law. The Apostle Paul teaches us why, and what becomes of the believer’s relationship then to the law. Cody King | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

In this message, Paul indicates that forgiveness and freedom in Christ should result in a life of righteousness and fruitfulness for the believer. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

As followers of Christ, we are no longer bound to our old sin nature, but are free to use our members as slaves of righteousness. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

If we understand and have experienced the grace of God through the remission of sins, should we continue to sin that grace increases in our life. In this message, we see the Apostle Paul make it emphatically clear that we are dead to our sin and should walk in the newness of life.

In the first Adam, his temptation in the garden led to the world being corrupted by sin and death reigned. However, in the second Adam (Jesus), his obedience in the garden led to life and all who believe in Him can experience forgiveness of sin, abounding grace, and the life forever.

In this passage we see the incredible love of God towards sinners. We can also be assured that God is using all things to produce in us an eternal weight of glory; even our suffering. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

We do not find life in God through our good works, outward circumcision, or by keeping the law. We find life in God Himself; the one who keeps His promises and is faithful to accomplish His purposes. In this message, you will see how God used Abraham to bring hope to the nations, although he was as good as dead. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

In this message, the Apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that we do not obtain merit with God through our good works or physical circumcision. Rather, we obtain a relationship to God by grace through faith in His son, Jesus Christ. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

We all at one point or another can tend to see others more clearly than we see ourselves. We can perceive their faults without acknowledging our own. In doing this it becomes easy to pass judgment upon one another while excusing ourselves. The Apostle Paul tells us otherwise by pointing out how we are all, one way or another, going to come under the same judgment. This being the case, we should not be casting judgment upon one another. Cody King | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

In this message, Paul challenges the cultural precedent in Rome that was spreading among Jews in the area. The misconception is that a person's sin served to bring forth the righteousness of God, therefore, a person could sin and God would be glorified. Paul makes it clear that this thought process was irrational and off base. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com
