Romans 2:1-16 – Judging or Judged?
A temptation we can all have is to think we’re doing ok by comparing ourselves to others. Paul addresses this in our passage and reveals to us that we will never have enough morality to stand righteous before God, unless we’re standing in the righteousness of Jesus alone.
Bible Text: Romans 2:1-16
Romans 1:18-32 – The Black Backdrop Of Humanity
We need to understand why we need saving if we’re going to receive salvation at all. Unless there is something to be saved from, there is no point in talking about salvation. This is exactly where Paul takes us here in this passage as he reveals the wrath of God, how we deserve that, but also how the gospel reveals the way to be saved.
Bible Text: Romans 1:18-32
Romans 1:1-17 – Proud Of The Gospel
In our introduction to Romans we see Paul’s heart and desire to go to Rome to encourage and equip the believers with the great gospel of God.
Bible Text: Romans 1:1-17
The Virtual vs. Virtuous Woman
This well known chapter is a great example of the woman who is walking in wisdom and showing herself a woman of God. Don’t settle for an imitation, but strive to find a wife (or husband) of virtue.
Bible Text: Proverbs 31:1-31
A Word From Agur
Agur, a possible contemporary of Solomon, and another man of wisdom, gives some great insights for us on the greatness of God and lessons from nature.
Bible Text: Proverbs 30:1-33
The Foolish vs. The Righteous
Solomon gives many comparisons in this chapter between the foolish person and the righteous one. The righteous walk in God’s ways and enjoy blessing and happiness. The foolish go their own way and are heading toward disaster.
Bible Text: Proverbs 29:1-27
True Confessions
We continue on in our stay through the book of Proverbs.
Bible Text: Proverbs 28:1-28
Living To Praise God
Solomon begins this chapter addressing those who boast in what they’re going to do, and boasting in what they’ve done. But we shouldn’t be seeking praise for ourselves, rather our lives should be lived to praise God alone.
Bible Text: Proverbs 27:1-27
The Out Crowd
We look at a list of unsavoury characters in Proverbs 26. It’s a reminder of who to look out for and who we don’t want to be resembling in any way.
Bible Text: Proverbs 26:1-28
Solomon’s Similitudes
In this new section of Proverbs, Solomon gives many comparisons to show what our life in Christ should be like.
Bible Text: Proverbs 25:1-28
A Father to Son Chat
On this Father’s Day we continue our study through Proverbs and look at the insight and wisdom Solomon seeks to pass on to his son.
Bible Text: Proverbs 23:12-24:34
The Life Worth Living
Solomon concludes his discourse on life under the sun. He’s been seeing that it’s all vanity when lived apart from God. But life is not meant to be empty. Life is meant to be enjoyed when lived God’s way. We look at the life worth living in our wrap up of Ecclesiastes.
