Oh Glorious Day! (Isaiah 4:2-6)

Judgement and salvation are inextricably linked together.  Therefore, there is not only bad news regarding the last day, there is good news as well!

Woe To You Or Well With You (Isaiah 3:1-4:1)

There was a day the Lord had determined to exercise judgement on Judah, and it pointed to the fact that there is a day the Lord has determined to exercise full and final judgment.  On that day, will it be woe to you or well with you?

In That Day (Isaiah 2)

In Chapter 2 Isaiah's vision describes the latter days, the current day, and the coming day.  And in light of what is and what will be, he said today is the day to trust the Lord and walk in His ways.

The Church in Crisis (Isaiah 1:1-2:5)

The Gospel according to Isaiah begins with a snapshot of the two themes of the entire book, the severity of judgement and the hope of salvation.  

A Fitting Conclusion (Romans 16:25-27)

Paul closed his letter to the church in Rome with a doxology, and in doing so he summarized the entirety of the letter.  It was a fitting conclusion. 

God Sent Forth His Son (Galatians 4:4-5)

The incarnation, and Paul's description of it, should bring a joy that is both deeper and more lasting than all the tinsel and glitter and celebrations around us.

One More Thing (Romans 16:17-23)

Right in the middle of what appears to be his conclusion, Paul basically said, “Oh, and one more thing. Keep your eyes and ears open for the potential infiltration of false teachers into the church." 

More Than Mere Personal Greetings (Romans 16:1-16)

Christ is the One upon whom we must depend if we are going to experience the community and fellowship God intends for us to experience. (Due to technical difficulties, the recording begins at the end of the introduction and does not include the normal  OT and NT readings.)

One Church and the Communion of Saints (Romans 15:22-33)

Being united Christ, we are united to one another which includes responsibilities for one another.

Not I, But Through Christ In Me (Romans 15:14-21)

May our confidence be in the fact that we are in Christ and He is in us.  May we always draw attention to what Christ has done in and through us by His Spirit.

Welcome One Another (Romans 15:7-13)

Paul calls those who have been received by Christ to receive others who have also been received by Christ.  It's what brothers and sisters do as members in the family of God.

Living in Harmony (Romans 15:1-6)

Paul desired harmony within the church because God desires harmony within the church in order that His people can and will ascribe Him glory and praise in unison.
